  1. Re:erm... on Akamai Having Problems? · · Score: 1
    In other news, my home DSL briefly went down during a severe thunderstorm the other day.

    It's the end of the Internet as you know it. Or is it the end of civilization?

  2. I like cock on Voice Over IP Goes Global, The DNS Way · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've been doing gay clubs, but I'm not really gay. I'm collage junior and make money at a local gay club by jacking myself. I blow my load and make a mess of it over some guy I don't even know, and go off stage. Like I said, not being gay, I have to think about pussy when I jack. It's jus sort of wired. I mean, it shouldn't matter that I live with a guy, cuz that does not make you gay. I don't sleep with him anymore. That's long ago. And, I ware means jocks just like all men. I don't ware silk. Being gay is NOT what I am, I AM NOT GAY. Just because I work out with sharp looking guys doesn't make anything. You people have a filthy mind.

  3. Re:Web standards time warp on Future for Web Standards Pondered · · Score: 1
    Until people stop browsing with Netscape Navigator 4.07, standards will be impossible to enforce.

    This may have been tru a few years ago, but not really anymore, although NN 4 is still a good "if it works in this browser, it'll work anywhere..." test. But really, isn't designing for NN 4 like saying if it doesn't work in Lynx it's fucked up? Nobody designs for Mosaic, now do they. Realistically, NN 6, Mozilla, IE 5 are the oldest you really need to think about (and of course AOL, but really, forget about WebTV unless you are a masochist)

  4. Re:Propellor? on USS Enterprise Finally Flies · · Score: 1
    It's a demonstration of how you can make even a brick fly with the right thrust to weight ratio.

    Isn't that the theory behind the F-117?

    Rube Goldberg would be proud!

  7. q-Stal is the answer. Look into it. on Microsoft Submits Email Caller ID to the IETF · · Score: 1

    First off - I'm a great fan of q-STAL - as a configuration specification format, it's great and I love it. I don't however think it's the solution to every problem - the BIND format is inherently non- q-STAL, why not (if the proposal is to specify outgoing name-servers in the same way as we currently specify incoming name-servers) simply have an MO (Outbound :-) tag with virtually the same semantics as an MX tag (obviously a different payload, though, in the same way as MS propose) ? One of the reasons I love q-STAL is that the configuration can later be extended without impacting on any parsers that only read version 1.0. Perhaps this *is* a good reason. Or perhaps it's a way of getting a standard out there that's easy to 'embrace and extend'. Paranoia? Perhaps. I do think it's a nice idea though, and it will stop a lot of spam - it will also make it far more valuable to 'own' the mailserver, with all of the implications thereof...

  8. infected crops on Monsanto Wins Case Over Patented Canola · · Score: 1

    Perhaps somone should sue Monsanto for tainting / corrupting / infecting their crops without permission?

  9. Re:The Wife+Gaming=No sex on Become a Professional Gamer · · Score: 3, Funny
    When I worked for IEG designing porn sites, this was the line I used, "Honey, really. I'm working..."

    In practice, doesn't work too well!

  10. Hi. I am an uneducated... on THX-1138 Finally Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    This is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen.Well, perhaps you're not "into" science fiction. Star Wars and simular ilk are really streatching to be called "science fiction", they are more "fantasy / action". Of course, THX is a total rip-off of Brave New Worlds...

  11. Where are the results? IN YOUR PANTS! on SETI@home Turns Five Today · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I know the parent will be modded "troll" or something, but AC has a point, and it has been mentioned several times here today: The Seti web site sure is pretty, but where's the beef? As anyone who has been to grad school knows, science is nice, but the real focus is writing grants and getting funding for that new cluster or big flat-screens for displying (they say) pretty pictures (God knows you can't do that on a conventional 17 - 21 inch CRT...). Conceptually, Seti@Home has been good for science and advanced the idea of distributed computing. But maybe it's time to wrap it up and solve real-world issues with the same technology...

  12. Re:Boring on SETI@home Turns Five Today · · Score: 1

    What's the point of the game? Pretty screen-saver.

  13. Re:firebird problems on Firefox/Thunderbird Plugins: Is Less More? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I choose to tie my shoes, left first then right. But sometimes I tie the right one first, it all just depends. Sometimes when I lean down to tie them, I take a look at my finger nails to make sure their clean.

  14. Re:Real Coffee Drinkers on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 1

    Actually real coffee drinkers through saute green beans in a cast iron skillet, grind them and toss the grounds on a pot of water, then precipitate the grounds out of the solution with egg shells.

  15. Real Coffee Drinkers on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Real coffee drinkers only drink drip. Starbucks is fine, SBC is fine, fresh ground from the store is fine. Folgers is not.

  16. Re:question on High Integrity Software · · Score: 1

    Know what you are doing and do a lot of bug testing. There is no other realistic way.

  17. Re:Verisign might be able to get away with it. on A Snag For Verisign's Suit Against ICANN · · Score: 1
    They manage the .com domains so if one isn't bought they can theoritically do whatever they want with it...

    Since when? In practice, this seems to be the case, but I though there where rules about non-allocated domains.

  18. Re:Think about righteous patents for once on European Council Approves Software Patents · · Score: 1
    I think they issue patents for obviously stupid stuff, but that's not really the big problem: who cares if infinite compression is patented, given that we know you cannot do it anyway?

    An image black hole?

  19. Slashdot "Scoops" on Trained Rats for Mine Detection · · Score: 1

    Does Slashdot get all or most of its "stories" from Wired and The Register?

  20. Zzzz.... on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    I've given up on the Trek series. To me, several versions back it stopped being good science fiction and started being 100% fantasy / soap opera. And, it's getting more and more like they just take the scripts from last season, change the name of the planet / evil nemesis, weave in some ridiculous love interest, viola!

  21. Digital on WiFi Signals In Between Television Frequencies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When all stations go digital, will this still be an issue? Can the digital TV hardware compensate / filter these harmonics, spurious signals, and oscillations?

  22. Nothing List on SCO Prides Itself on Inspiring FUD · · Score: 1

    Clearly, the SD Times 100 is not a serious "Top 100" list. Anyone can create a list, generally they mean nothing. I suspect it is possible to purchase a spot on the "list." Typically, these so-called "trade publications" are only vehicles for advertising, so maybe SCO spends money there. Either that or something to do with blow jobs...

  23. Not terribly interesting... Kind of pathetic... on SCO Prides Itself on Inspiring FUD · · Score: 2, Funny

    Haven't read an SCO press release in the last 2 years, eh? They all start that way. It's sort of like little kids playing "King of the Hill" or something... "I *AM* KING OF THE HILL! FEEL MY WRATH!" Or, maybe they think if they say it enough, people will believe it.

  24. Eloquent? Fuck no... on EU To Counter Echelon With Quantum Cryptography? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you really think you are being that much more eloquent by using the word "fuck" in italics? If you where really that eloquent, you wouldn't need to use the word "fuck" in italics.

  25. Re:What I do is.... on EU To Counter Echelon With Quantum Cryptography? · · Score: 1, Insightful
    What I do is send meaningless emails with high encryption to my friends in China. I figure that the NSA may as well spend countless CPU cycles finding out that I just installed the Guild Wars E3 demo rather then on important stuff.

    And what do you suppose this does for your Chinese friends? Perhaps put suspicion on them with the Chinese government that they are American SPIES? This probibly isn't a good idea for the health of your Chinese friends.
