  1. Re:You can't do that? on Bush Demands Amnesty for Spying Telecoms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just have Poppy buy you into office...

    "Poppy" seems to have stopped talking to "junior" some time ago. He may be regretting his decision to "buy" GWB into office...

  2. Re:MySQL Irrelevence on MySQL in a Nutshell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's that developers and users of it never properly understood why those features are important

    Obviously they where not important features to *most* MySQL users. Folks, right tool for the job and all. MySQL clearly is the right tool for many jobs. Not all, but clearly many.

  3. Re:Prokonsul Piotrus on Improving Wikipedia Coverage of Computer Science · · Score: 1

    That most people (like you) have not yet figured out that Wikipedia is one big "hood-wink" is a credt to The Onion! When the fellows over at The Onion finally let the cat out of the bag *officially*, there will be a lot of egg-wiping of the faces!

    I always thought "cyber" always had to do with on-line sex?

  5. Re:Who wants to bet... on Estonian ISP Shuts Srizbi Back Down, For Now · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The same argument could be made about the police and the anti-terrorists. I don't know about you, but I prefer that they have to follow rules.

    We're not talking about "terrorists" and "police" here. This discussion is about spammers. Two different things, so your "argument" such as it is is irrelevent.

  6. Re:It isn't just targeting the US. on Significant Russian Attack On US Military Networks · · Score: 1

    I work with the USAF in a very official capacity in IT

    I other words, you're the airman stuck on the Help Desk on the weekends?

    I don't know about your story... Not what they tell me here at McChord.

  7. Re:Who wants to bet... on Estonian ISP Shuts Srizbi Back Down, For Now · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This *is* funny.

    But there is truth to it.

    The fact is, these people play by their own rules (no rules at all). As long as the "good guys" insist on dealing with them on the ethical high road, the problem will never go away.

    Either way the reality is play dirty or accept boatloads of spam and quit bitching about it.

  8. Re:Vs. Mootools? on jQuery in Action · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but the only significant benefit I see is better documentation.

    A big plus in my book.

  10. Re:If this were a man, on Misdemeanor Plea Ends Norwich Pornography Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The kind of thing you describe is why any intellegent person should think twice about going into teaching. It's just too risky.

  11. Not the same thing. on Bush Administration's E-Mail Deluge May Overload Archive System · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps you're too young to remember, but Clinton's administration had a problem with missing emails during investigations too (Lewinsky, why hundreds of FBI records on their political enemies ended up in the White House, illegal campaign donations from China, etc).

    Yes, but there is a magnitude of difference in importance between lost emails about blow jobs and a little dirty money, and emails about the loss of privacy and civil liberties of US citizens, torture of POWs, and the various other nastiness that GWB et al are suspected of. Much different.

    Hell, I've got that much porn. On a RAID, naturally.

  13. Re:Frosty Piss on Tabula Rasa To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    This is a fucking frost piss post you cock sucking teabaggers!

    I beg your pardon? Did you say Frosty Piss?

    But here's what I think: It's just a last ditch effort to generate buzz and customers. If they get a significant increase in players, down the line there may be an announcement that the death is being put off. Then, a bit later there will be value added content for a fee. If things really pick up, they can make it all pay-for-play. Or, if nothing happens, it dies on cue.

  14. Really? on Chinese Hacking of American Military Networks On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Really? There are LOADS of Linux and other *nix running at McChord. Of course email and SharePoint run on exchange. But as a Boom Operator, surely you know that much of the maintenance management applications as well as ARMS (you know, the application that tracks your flying hours) runs with Oracle on Unix minis. Right. And there are many many many more non-Windows applications I can think of. But of course as I said, email and SharePoint are on Windows (obviously).

  15. Nothing about DVDs here... on Worm Attack Prompts DoD To Ban Use of External Media · · Score: 1

    I work at an AF base and have seen the directives. I keep seeing in the news that DVDs are included in this ban, but I haven't seen that come accross from our Comm people. So far, the only things we're not using right now are thumb drives and external HD type hardware.

  16. Re:ISPs are clueless? on Washington Post Blog Shuts Down 75% of Online Spam · · Score: 1

    As someone who had cage/rack space (as a form of 2nd data centre) from them for numerous years, I can assure you their operational methods are quite possibly the worst (particularly in the Bay).

    I'm sorry, what? What company do you work for, so I can avoid it?

  18. Obvious? on Behind the Cogent-Sprint Depeering · · Score: 1

    It seems pretty clear that - love or hate them - Sprint is acting quite reasonably and in accordance with the agreement between the two. Cogent sounds like a bunch of assholes to me.

    Wonder how much money I could get from NASA

    What I'm thinking is eBay. Can NASA claim ownership if it lands in my cow pasture?

    Is what's "good" for the company always high shre price? Maybe over the long run, if selling for a good price results in the demise of the company, than it's not really "good" for the sare holders?

    I want to go on the record as denying all association with the parent troll. It does not meet my exceptionally low standard for Slashdot trolls and does not even mention Russia or Hot Grits.

  25. Re:Google Apps is pretty useful on Ballmer Admits Google Apps Are Biting Into MS Office · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your solution is the most complicated to implement, even if it's the least expensive.

    Maybe so, but honestly, Google Apps are not a particularly satisfying solution. Open Office is much much more suitable. Gmail maybe, but spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations? Google Apps just don't cut it.

    In my opinion...
