    Black helicopters just left the Microsoft Campus... Wait, Microsoft?! I'll withdraw my contact...

    Google must have improved Wikpedia's site by a notch?

    I just shudder to wonder how many Hz(s) in total it can reach in a minute. Just hope they have really a huge buffer/cache system... In the million GBs...

    Just call the Stoch Tape company and they might could at least help you out. Here is where you should look for help 3M.

    No I don't, I'm fairly new to Linux.

    Black helicopters are all the Media News deploying SF [Special Forces] units on the ground to capture news [bad guys]... Or is it the other way around?

  7. Re:BOFH? on NASA Prepares Discovery for Launch · · Score: 0

    I bet they aren't capable of this because they're mostly gov't funded and they can't afford to have misshaps on a huge budget projects. Also I don't really see the benefits that NASA really have done with some of their missions but rather to waste some money anyways. Risk we have to take, I agree. NASA should improve their risk-taking system to something simpler I guess. [Not using overrated system / outdated]

  8. Re:BOFH? on NASA Prepares Discovery for Launch · · Score: 0

    I totally agree with you on this. I perfer simple and robust not over worked ideas and etc, one example would be linux text mode and gui mode [just for comparsion purpose]... Text - displays what you need and where u are [ie, shell] GUI - displays more and consume more good'ol resources and it's just a waste. Although it's helpful, depending on your usage but for System Admins, it's all just a waste... I think the Russian are smart, and look at their success in the past few years, and yes I admit it might not as widely recgoinzed as the US, but the point is that it works. I'm sure the Russian're going to be the first one to set up an UAV base on Mars.

  9. BOFH? on NASA Prepares Discovery for Launch · · Score: 0

    I hate too much safety features, train them so they'll know what to do and of course make sure that the big o-ring's not cracked and no styrofoams gonna hit the wings or whatever that piece of white flying objects were before the explosions. I find it odd that NASA has all of the resources but they can't even keep their staff up to their par. It must be the BOFH who keeps doing this.

    I can understand your accretion disk point here and I was reffering to the X-rays that they're known to emit.

  14. Whoa, massive blackhole... on Simulation Explains Supermassive Black Holes · · Score: 0

    Now I just wonder what it'll be like to send a probe into one of them, and please use the Metric system so we don;t miss, nevermind, the Blackhole will draw it in. i always have wondering since nothing can escape then why is it emitting something out of it? Just a thought. Now that movie is my standard screensaver...

  15. Linux Boot on Anatomy of the Linux Boot Process · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now I understand the boot process much better, I always have started at the boot up process and wonder what the hell is Linux doing to my computer, eh, I guess I understand now better in how it boots, I want to see a comparsion between Linux and Windows... newb linux user here loves it but hates ATI support.

  16. Re:Contact Tecmo on Tecmo Sues Game Hackers Under DMCA · · Score: 0

    Ha this reminded me of the time before HL2 came out, yea this's kinda off the topic here, I'm myself a deaf player and I got friggin pissed off when I encountered the numpad in Doom3. HL2 were coming around the verge and I emailed valve and threatened them with Legal action if they didn;t have closed caption or subtitle support. Valve responded to my email: "Legal Action? Take it easy there, it will have it." And lookie where we are... Gosh I love the email address u just listed, it smells like breakfast to me right now. *munching down on em*

  17. Insane and stupid on Anti-Santy Worm Patches phpBB Flaw · · Score: 0

    What if the "patches went all wrong" they all do these days and it just will end up invading our goods. *Disconnects from the wild* and reformat everything bit for bit... *reconnect to the wild* Try to be smarter this time... Don;t use something that uses such idea, although innovative but danger's lurking behind it... I sense a huge disturbance in the forces amongst us...

    This is scary, an invisible mechanism that moves sleeping people around to other ships... Now that's wacked analogies, were he under the infulence of something at the time? My previous experience would be valid if I said this, but I wasn't the one who wrote this... It was humorous tho. I would like having hearing the word teleport being used in the HL2 sense instead of that "invisible" mechanism...

  19. Given UP? on HP Plots New Courses with HP-UX/Tru64 · · Score: 0

    WHy would they give up already? I never knew that theyw ere weak once in this area, competitive yes but not weak. I always have heard about HP-64 servers, heck even RIT, has some of them running database or whatever they're running. I just don;t want to see a good company go down just simply because they gave up. Now who will rise to the occassion? The GEEKS!

  20. Should we believe em? The risks? on U.S. Cybersecurity Report Available · · Score: 0

    It's nice that they're expanding thier portion but at the same time I believe that due to the senstivity of such issues that they should never be revealed to the public, which can create more problems than good. And one other thing we got to think of : ARE THEY TELLING THE TRUTH? After CIA, etc mess up, I can't really trust the Gov't as much as I used to.

    This movie sequels and etc, is amongst my favorite of all time along with Star Wars [4-6]... I now wonder who will be the younger actor?! It better not be a baby faced actor like LEO!...

    the company plans to make more employees elgible for overtime
    This is great, I mean i thought that anything over 40 hours is automatically considered as over-time unless they were contracted but this is good, i mean EA is now coming on in really strong this could be considered as their bonus eh?! Hell I bet those CEOs doesn't do anything but own them and makes a lot of money while the low wage people works their asses off and makes EA happens, and they are the poeple that earns this overtime wages.
