  1. Re:But does it run Linux? on Holy iPad Slayer! Company Releases World's First Christian Tablet · · Score: 1

    You joke but I remember (years ago) seeing an email from a user who took offense at receiving an automated message from an mail "daemon". He didn't want to receive any further emails from evil automatons. sigh.

  2. Re:"Seeing a cell directly without dying" on World's Most Powerful Optical Microscope · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Among other tiny objects the scientists will be able to examine are anodized aluminum oxide nano-structures, and nano-patterns on Blue-Ray CVC disks, not previously visible with an optical microscope."

    Hmmm... Sounds like a DMCA violation to me.

  4. Re:Canada? on American Solar Challenge Racers Head For Canada · · Score: 1

    Very true. If they take a wrong turn and end up 1000km north of Calgary, communications could become a significant concern.

  5. RSS Feed on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 1

    In Firefox, a live bookmark can be expanded to show all the headings.
    Not so in IE7.
    What is the intended use/purpose of the IE7 RSS Feed?
    How is it any different than a regular bookmark other than the fact that it is bold if there are new items?

    I don't get it.

  6. Re:Bah. on Indestructible Super Mug To Save Humanity · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the game Shogi: a japanese chess-like game.
    Captured pieces are now yours and can be dropped anywhere on the board at any time!

    How about: "Don't be evil ...unless given ONE BILLION DOLLARS"

  8. Re:C'mon.. on Meet the Man Who Will Save the Internet · · Score: 1

    How about this?:
    There are people in other countries that believe that the US government is primarily concerned with looking after the interests of the American people and that sometimes those interests do not correspond with the interests of people in other countries.
    - Censorship in China, for an example on the evil side
    - Potentially, domain name disputes on the other

    Although that concern may have some substance, the thought of some large lethargic international body:
    A committee of people with a host of hidden nationalistic agendas...

    The thought just makes me shiver.

  9. Re:Why the IAFC is against the change on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    I read the article [shock, amazement].
    I see no evidence of anti-american sentiment there.
    It seemed to me to be surprisingly objective at discussing the challenges to Canadians that such a change would bring.

    Perhaps the accusation of a knee-jerk reaction should be pointed in a different direction!

  11. EU Satisfied???? on EU satisfied With Microsoft's Antitrust Plan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The article title is too funny!
    Compare that to other news sites:
    TheReg/Tom's: MS and EU inch towards agreement
    InternetNews: Microsoft And Europe Getting Closer
    Groklaw: Microsoft is still sparring with the EU Commission

    Does that sound like the EU is satisfied?
    [IRONY] What kinda pro-MS rag is this?! [/IRONY]

    I would have modded you up but I decided to just agree with you instead.
    I had read a terrible review (link from previous /. article) so my expectations were very low.

    It had most of my favourite lines (but why would they leave out:
    We have now reached normality. Anything you still can't deal with is, therefore, your own problem.

    I quite enjoyed it.

    That's right: you'd better post AC if you are going to make confessions like that in here!

    Personally, I'd rather spend my time popping vars off heaps in kernels compiled in C than popping jars of kernels piled in heaps by the sea.

    Speaking of 302: Sorry, no such thing.
    You need to redirect to SCOXE.
    That is E for "in the process of being Evicted from the exchange".
    You'd better look quick. It may be gone by the time you get there.

  21. Re:I always liked on Observing Botnets with Honeynets · · Score: 1

    Eliza is a famous 1966 computer program by Joseph Weizenbaum, which parodied a Rogerian therapist, largely by rephrasing many of the patient's statements as questions and posing them to the patient.

    Eliza keyed off certain words like "feel", "sad", "mother", etc. It seemed like magic on a TRS-80 Model I!

    Hey, I was with you. But, alas, no funny points for The Gerbils of Power either. [sigh]

    However, I don't agree that big companies are not interested in diversifying. It merely needs to be economical to do so.
    Government funding and regulation (ie. Kyoto) is increasingly motivating big business to pursue alternatives.
