  1. use the internet on Thanks For the ... Eight-Track, Uncle Alex · · Score: 1

    Why bother finding a medium and risk damage to it? Just upload your content somewhere (or multiple places) it can't get lost. Or have the waybackmachine archive it. Then put the link(s) on a piece of paper, laminate it and you're good to go.

    So you're claiming all those phones, TiVo's, GPS's and other embedded machines ARE capable of running a cutting edge FPS?

    Sure! Just imagine a Beowulf cluster of ....

  3. good on Google Brings SVG Support To IE · · Score: 1

    Now Microsoft doesn't need to do it anymore. Is this a good thing then? Nice move on Google's part though.

  4. Re:pwned on Local Privilege Escalation On All Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    Seriously, in a story about how trivial it is to get code to execute as root you post a comment about how much more secure Ubuntu is than hardened Windows?

    Yeah, please stay on-topic like the rest of us.

  5. Re:Peace on CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone who isn't actively connected to the project won't f*ck up alot of other people's servers just for the hell of it. Right now there's not a problem (legally), but if he intentionally screws up packages there will be. Yeah if you're paranoid, don't update your servers and/or rebuild from official RH srpms. Or buy RH support.

    I just asked a friend who works for RH and he can't confirm or deny they've kidnapped him. Hmm .....

  7. Re:Did we not already know this? on Formerly Classified Global Warming Spy Photos Released · · Score: 1

    Care to back these comments up with some facts? As a parent, your comments made me a bit upset but also curious as to what you base your opinions on.

    I'm glad there's a happy ending to this story. Thousands of unpatched windows machines will cease to exist, hurray!

    Well said. And might i add that we in the past used to blame Canada for all that's wrong. With their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies.

  11. Re:If there animals are getting high on Stoned Wallabies Make Crop Circles · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, how much THC % is in medical over there? Over here (Holland) we just laugh at that stuff since it's about 2.5% compared to the regular 12-15%.

    Continuing to be OT, why did the scrolling through comments become so horribly slow?

  13. Re:Ho ho. on Fedora 11 Is Now Available · · Score: 1

    Some of us have been cruising on beta for about month or so.

    Some even longer from when it was alpha. If you didn't mind a Gig of downloads every week ... and a big chance that stuff breaks horribly (my colleague had to switch from kde to gnome with elinks and mutt to be able to work) :)

  14. Treat everyone the same on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 1

    "how do you get a reasonable level of respect from your users while not being a jerk?"

    Set rules. Follow them. Give the good example and don't let anything slip by. Don't make exceptions no matter what (what = compliment, whine, threaten, complain or try to be your 'friend'). If you show your users you treat everyone the same you will earn a modest level of respect. As soon as you make an exception, others will notice (you can count on it: people talk, you know) and you are a "jerk" towards some users and a "hero" towards others. Best to stay somewhat in the middle of these two opposites.

  16. Re:Nintendo.... on Nintendo Announces New Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy, Metroid · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nintendo needs to make more "hardcore" games so whenever they aren't in first place anymore they won't go belly up.

    They first need to release Wii 2 with better specs before 'hardcore' gamers are tempted to buy one. Don't get me wrong, Wii is a superb platform for really innovative games, but Mario Galaxy is already pushing its limits and that's not even _that_ special. The best thing they could do was improve on their succes and release newer versions of their best-selling games.

    I don't know anything about DS so i won't comment on it.

    The words 'quick' and 'openoffice' don't go well together.

  22. Re:I run Debian, and I run FreeBSD. on Debian Gets FreeBSD Kernel Support · · Score: 1

    virtual machine environments where bringing up more computing resources in a hurry is necessary and a fast booting VM image is necessary.

    A good example is Novell Orchestrator which fires up VMs on demand (eg. when a high load triggers it). You don't want to wait minutes for it to load because by that time it might be too late (the customer will already notice a performance decrease).

  23. Unreliable on Brain Decline Begins At Age 27 · · Score: 2, Funny

    According to his own findings, these results can't be trusted as they come from a person who's mind is already decaying. I would've believed it if the prof was about 22 years old.
