    Wow. The world's privacy is saved. Now on to create a "Cancer has a 100% success cure" group.

  4. Re:Is it the Hydrogues? on Something May Have Just Hit Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Not to worry, the Earth should have enough verdani (and somewhat polluted wentals) on board, plus we can always call faeros from the Sun, if needed. :)

  5. Re:Logical conclusion on Experimental Video Game Evolves Its Own Content · · Score: 1

    It did not, but the number of invisible "rays" that hit you would be smaller the farther you are. Also, they only spread roughly in direction where firing player was heading at the time of initial trigger pull. http://www.gamers.org/pub/archives/doom/periodic/bfg_faq for a detailed explanation of how does the original BFG9000 work.

    This DNS thing... I don't think it does what you think it does.

    There is no such moderation choice as "I Agree" anyway. Grow up.

    What we need is Botman -- in public life, a wealthy young man, in private life, a vigilante in black cape, who hijacks botnets and brings them down.

  12. Re:At the risk of causing a war... on Intel Cache Poisoning Is Dangerously Easy On Linux · · Score: 1

    Huh? People have been writing exploits for Linux for years.

    Or have I just been whooshed?

  13. Re:Er, server-side symlinks? on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1

    Why not generate short, easy URLs right away and get rid of the long ones completely?

  14. Re:Moving parts are the main problem on How Do I Provide a Workstation To Last 15 Years? · · Score: 1

    Assuming that you have to rewrite his software, make it all web based (even if it runs off of one machine as a server without the Internet) and forgetaboutit. Keep it as basic and generic as possible and then the hardware will never matter. ...and then pick a host or service that will be around in a decade or two.

    ...and then read GP post again, more carefully, to find out why that is not necessary

  15. Re:Memtest not perfect. on Reliability of Computer Memory? · · Score: 1

    Errors in memtest86 are a 100% indication that your memory is not working properly in your system. Whether this is caused by bad ram or an incompatible motherboard+ram combination remains to be seen though.

    Or by a faulty mainboard, just like mine, which caused every memory module to malfunction once it got warm. No errors on memtest86 for first one or two hours (2-3 complete passes), many errors on first pass after the system has been running for some time.

    Of course, random BSODs and hard freezes in Windows XP, mostly in games. Vista couldn't even complete installation without freezing.

    Funnily enough, only symptoms in Linux were occassional gcc segfaults during large, memory-intensive compilations (OO.org, KDE). The mainboard is now replaced, and the new unit works flawlessly. Yay.

  16. Re:Real history. on Steve Bourne Talks About the History of Sh · · Score: 1

    Huh, that's creepy, I just finished watching that movie about 20 minutes ago. *shivers*

    I feel your pain. I, too, can't type "lol" with a straight face.

  19. Re:A Debian release! on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" Released · · Score: 1

    Now we know who funds development of Toy Story franchise - Debian enthusiasts!

  20. Re:Do the number of calls really matter? on The Hairy State of Linux Filesystems · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe because moderating is about promoting good or bad posts, not good or bad posters. That post _was_ funny, so I don't see why shouldn't it be modded accordingly.
