  1. Wrong, wrong, wrong on Windows 95 Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    MultiFinder first appeared in System 5. It was made non-optional in System 7.0 in 1991. This was also the first virtual memory implementation included with the OS. Connectix made a product called Virtual which implemented virtual memory on System 6.

  2. Re:Viral Marketing on Firefly Movie Using Viral Marketing? · · Score: 0

    This marketing doesn't appear to be especially insidious. I think you're overreacting.

  3. Re:Viral Marketing on Firefly Movie Using Viral Marketing? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not exactly. It's socially engineered word-of-mouth.

  4. Re:But how much fuel does it use? on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 1

    Apparently they just use a really big Coleman backpacking stove.

  5. Re:I hate podcasts on A Podcast from Network Administrators · · Score: 1

    I am actually wrong about this. If I check my podcast download stats, compared with live listener stats, I get around 4 times more podcast listeners.

  6. Re:I hate podcasts on A Podcast from Network Administrators · · Score: 1

    We have those. The problem is that:
    1.) Anyone can make their own podcast directory.
    2.) Everyone makes podcasts but NOBODY LISTENS

  7. Re:Pump the wings full of Aphex Airlines on Musical Wings Reduce Aircraft Stall Risk · · Score: 1

    Being an AFX story, that has a high likelihood of being totally bogus. But then that's half the fun innit? :)

  8. Re:Look at the math... on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 1

    He said at the bottom of his original post that it's often a negative action, since the company offers discounts to big investors, and has to pay commissions, and there's quite possibly going to be a drop in stock price as well.

  9. Re:Of course, a minor change points to warp physic on One Hundred Years of E=MC2 · · Score: 1

    Errr, n^2 cancels out on the right hand side, no?

  10. Re:How about a "Next"/"Back" option on RSS Version 3 Specs Up for Review · · Score: 1

    No problem with implementing that in the reader, not much point in putting that in the spec.

  11. Re:Insensitive on Bell Labs Unix Group Disbanded · · Score: 1

    Yep, probably on purpose, too. Programmers aren't typically a sensitive lot.

  12. Re:What would you want them to return? on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's not moot, since if I put that text on a web page somewhere, it WILL take effect. Can't figure how it's flamebait though.

  13. Re:What would you want them to return? on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seems to me there is something wrong when a search term lists pages that don't even have the actual word in it.

    donkey rhubarb

    Once this comment is spidered, it will work towards PETA coming up when people search for "Donkey" and "rhubarb". If you check the cached version of the GW biography, it will say this at the top.

  14. Re:What on earth? on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes · · Score: 1

    from some blogger:

    Further I would guess that this is to make a very fast hash-table implementation, the sort of thing required for a performance critical thing like binary emulation.

  15. The TPM chip on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The TPM chip has a very fast SHA-1 implementation on it. Apparently this helps a lot with Rosetta.

  16. Re:Ah, slashdot on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 1

    A taff? Google says: The plain of Karbilá in which vicinity Imám Husayn was martyred.

  17. Re:oh noes on Another View of the FCC and Spectrum Scarcity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ever seen the amounts of FCC fines?

  18. Re:Fast progress on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    If the rope comes down, it will probably burn up in the atmosphere on the way down, or flutter to the ground like a piece of paper.

  19. Re:Has to be said... on Indie Podcasters vs. Big Radio · · Score: 1

    um, podcastalley and ipodder.org hasven't gone anywhere, have they?

  20. Re:Why Logan anyway on WiFi At Logan Airport Leads To Turf War · · Score: 1

    i didn't find SFO or logan nearly as bad as kansas city. to get to a connecting flight, you have to go through security. there is a separate checkpoint for every gate.

    the mbta commuter rail will someday soon extend all the way from boston to tf green airport. no driving necessary.

  21. Re:Isn't that an oxymoron? on Wikipedia Announces Tighter Editorial Control · · Score: 1

    It means Wikipedia is turning into Everything2

    Bob was a copy of Apple's At Ease.

  23. Re:Song prices on iTMS Launches in Japan · · Score: 1

    Open up the root menu of iTMS and scroll down to the bottom. There's a pop up menu of countries to buy from.
