  1. This goes to show that nothing can replace... on Hotmail Loses Customer Files · · Score: -1

    local backups of data. IMHO, anyone who relies on online storage as a sole means of backup is a fool. I think we tend to forget that every company, even the biggies, are run by human beings and human beings screw up. I personally have overwritten backup tapes with critical data on them or deleted history files needed for year-end reports. Hotmail is no different.

  2. It's Time to Implement My Plan... on An Analysis Of Email Disclaimers · · Score: -1

    for e-mail: everyone will receive three copies of everything. The first copy will be deleted on the server, just in case you are not the intended recipient. The second copy must be deleted by the e-mail client for national security reasons so that the Soviets, err, Iraqis, err, ummm, North Koreans don't get it. The third copy will be sent to the end user and will be encrypted. It can be unlocked only after the user agrees to the Universal Patron Consent Holder Uniform Contract (UPCHUC). Easy, easy, easy.

  3. Everyone is going to end up... on NYT on Spam Cops · · Score: -1

    having to whitelist friends, business associates, etc...are real pain in the arse for large corporations. Currently, there's just no other way to end this crap. A few prosecutions aren't going to stop this; there are always places on this planet where the law will turn a blind eye.

  4. There's an article in June edition of 'Wired'... on Sneak Peek of SF Museum · · Score: -1

    which shows some of the more interesting items the museum will display. My favorite: Kirk's original command chair.

  5. Re:The electrolytes will be made eco-friendly... on Battery Development Off The Beaten Path · · Score: -1

    No, you're right. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A318 81-2004Mar28.html A price for everything, it would seem.

  6. This is the Linux future, IMHO on PDA Buyer's Guide Reviews The Sharp Zaurus SL-6000 · · Score: -1

    This is where Linux will crush MS: handhelds, embedded devices, etc. It's pretty hard right now to go up against Redmond on the desktop. Before anyone jumps me about the server side, know that most end users don't give a care how that web page gets delivered; it's invisible to them. If Linux is ever going to become a household term, this is where the battle must be fought.

  7. It doesn't matter... on Password Memorability and Securability · · Score: -1

    ...how good the password is if the users keeping taping them to their monitors. Incredible, to say the least.

  8. Re:Linus retiring? on Process Improvements in the Kernel Development · · Score: -1

    I think you may be on to something. A man of Linus's talents is not going to remain with one project indefinitely; something else will grab his attention. Also, look at the recent allegations that Linus may not be the real "father" or Linux (I'm not trying to start a flamewar; I don't buy into much of this). Being barraged by stuff like that must get old.

  9. It's a Giant Toy Show on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: -1

    Let's face it: Lucas saw a great marketing opportunity with these final films. I don't think he ever believed in the "cult" of Star Wars as many of us would like him to. Thus, it's pointed at the 12-year old market. The question is not "Can SW be saved?" but rather, "Why would Lucas want to save it?"

  10. Re:That's nice. on Tongue-Controlled Gameboy Advance SP Launched · · Score: -1

    Hey now! We all know that no belittleing, smirking comments get posted at Fark. Hell, if this were on Fark, there would already be people posting jokes about stiff tongue vs. flaccid tongue, etc. It just goes on and on.

  11. Re:Fire Bush in 04 on nVidia Announces MXM for Notebooks · · Score: -1, Troll

    I saw a fire bush once, but she kept it neatly trimmed.

  12. First on Bicycling Science, Third Edition · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oh, Yeah!!!

  13. Re:US Army on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's amazing how well you managed to boil it all down to Jesus on the one hand and G.W. on the other. Can we say that you are trying make a comparison between good and evil? If the answer to the above question is "yes", can I then assume that you are no fan of G.W. Bush? If that's true, then I would be willing to bet that you are one of those "enlightened" individuals who accuses him of seeing everything as black and white, good and evil. Isn't this is what you are attempting to do? By the way, Jesus never called all war evil, bad or unnecessary. In fact, the concept of a just war dates back to the early days of Christianity. Then again, I hate to confuse you with the facts.

  14. Re:Some else of interest on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    Oh, the AC has a conspiracy theory, does he? Climb back under your rock, pusswagon.

  15. The Tin Foil Hat Brigade (TFHB) is in the House on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's gotta be the Greys, dude.

  16. Re:the IQ at slashdot has dropped 30 points on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue." Sorry...had to be done.

  17. Is Religion the Problem? on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Many of those posts claim that religion is our problem. I disagree. The problem is how people interpret religious texts, teachings, etc. Of course, this leads to the question: if most of the adherents to a religion believe something, isn't that actually what the religion represents? Using this as my guide, I believe it is only a matter of time until the entire planet is either blanketed by one religion or we all kill each other. Place your bets now.

  18. Re:Is it that likely? on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 1

    I'm just wondering how you determined that I'm a religious nut. Commenting on your lame signature says nothing about my religious convictions. In fact, I think arguing about religion is pointless in most cases. Leave the basement and get some sun there, stud-boy.

  19. Re:More Christian musings! on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 1

    They had soap? Wow, how things have changed!!!

  20. Re:Is it that likely? on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 1

    "We can date if your iq is higher than your weight!" Sounds suspiciously like someone who can't get a date and who hides behind his giant, scary brain. Get a life, tard.
