  1. Advice on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't get your question posted on /. immediately after a story about a man killing his wife

  2. Re:Reporting Database on Keeping Customer From Accessing My Database? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Oracle has a different concurrency model to older versions of MS-SQL. There are no read locks.

  3. Re:Surprised nobody's mentioned this... on Blake's 7 Remake In the Works · · Score: 1

    Is the irrational belief that TN will return from the dead to help write new B7 scripts Nationalism?

  4. Re:And it might have evolved in a Chicken McNugget on Life May Have Evolved In Ice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If we all had that sort of attitude, we would still be banging rocks together...

    Same as everyone else: different measures of self interest and enlightened self interest depending on the individual.

  6. Re:Another one on Vista Vs. Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 1

    At least in Vista, MS has a name that you aren't embarrassed to say out loud in front of your boss. And how long will that last?

    Unless no-one heard the rape.
    In which case they would both be stoned to death.
    Your God is evil. Suck it up.

  8. Re:Some have already sipped the Kool-Aid... on MS Awarded "Best Campaigner Against OOXML" · · Score: 1

    Nice plug-in. Unless you have a corporate security model that uses "protected" worksheets in Excel.
    If so, then MS has just opened you up to any lee7 Hax0r that has access to powerful tools such as WinZip and Notepad.

    Sure is. Consider all the money they save not paying the "cargo cult" tax for a crap OS which will be "out of support" in a few years.

  11. Re:Cautiously optimistic on Indian State Encourages Microsoft Removal · · Score: 1

    Real propety != Software. I understand your confusion. Your masters have told you otherwise.

    Why? Because you say so?
    In Australia, we have an age of concent of 16 in most States.
    This law applies to us no matter where we are in the world (none of this "when in Rome" bullshit).
    Do you not have a similar law?

    You need to seperate the harware from the software. We are not a sentient beings just because we have a homosapien brain. The brain is not the center of our humanity. It is simply a node...

  17. Re:Obvious marijuana jokes aside... on Burn Grass, Get Green Biofuel · · Score: 1

    In contrast, carbon released by fossil fuels hasn't been in our atmosphere for millions of years, which is why re-releasing it into our atmosphere is problematic.
    And this is a problem why?
    Wouldn't the natural carbon cycle eventually fix enough carbon to effectively starve out photosynthesis?

  18. Re:Where have all the cycles gone? on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    which makes the grandparent the super geek IMO: enough geek knowledge to acurately describe a 30-31 day cycle in Hz; and enough geek ignorance to assume a 30-31 day menstral cycle...

    You have some options: 1. Lower your standards. 2. Lower their standards (beer goggles). 3. Raise your stocks (i.e. agressively embrace the whole cool-as-peer-group-standards thing). 4. Adjust your expectations. (you could be in for a long wait). 5. Change/expand your peer groups. (less oppertunities are found at your LUG). Just remember, if you do engage in these illegal acts, you will make baby jesus cry...

    .. and because of compulsary voting, these loopy twits will remain at the margins of political power, rather than (in some countries) at the center.

  23. Re:ELF/VLF on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Depending on the emmitter and the medium I guess the answer could be almost the same (laser) to about a quarter (most EM radiation) to none, for something that has a strong interaction with the medium between you and the source.

  24. Re:Superceded on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How would they use an ELF system in the event of global nuclear war? Wouldn't the ELF (and VLF) transmitters be the first against the wall? That is, unless they have built some secret ELF transmitters... *dons tinfoil cap*
