  1. Re:Backups don't need to be tricky these days on It's 2006 and Backups For Home User Still Tricky? · · Score: 1

    Is this true?

  2. Re:What the fuck? on The Epic Ebert Videogame Debate · · Score: 1

    Art is difficult to define - the laziest and most inaccurate definition is "everything."

  3. Re:Another company who should be afraid on Who's Afraid of Google? · · Score: 1

    "Blogoogle"?

    Oh, come on. I, for one, would welcome Bloogle. Or Bloggle.

  4. Re:who comes up with this names? on Mandriva Linux 2006 Released · · Score: 1

    That reminds of the time some car company (Honda, I think), decided to name a new model "Honda Fitta." Which, in my native language, translates to something like "Honda The Cunt."

  5. Browser need eliminated? on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how this can eliminate the need for a browser. Don't the RSS news feed contain links to the whole story? And how do you access GMail without a browser?

  6. Re:Of course you have to keep shooting on Doomed: How id Lost Its Crown · · Score: 1
    You're thinking of Dan O'Bannon's "Return of the Living Dead" zombies, not Romero's. As others have said, Romero's zombies needed nothing more than a headshot, or, as the original script says:
    This situation is controllable. People must come to grips with this concept. It's extremely difficult...with friends... with family...But a dead body must be de-activated by either destroying the brain or severing the brain from the rest of the body.
  7. Re:Why? on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    I always thought that Trademarks could only be claimed in their particular field - the depth of that particular industry/field depending. Yup. The World Wrestling Federation's efforts to save animal life must be why they're no longer a federation, but just "Entertainment."

  8. Re:Acrobat on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one in the whole wide world who actually likes Adobe's Photo Album? Or have I just missed out on a vastly superior product somewhere?

  9. Re:Books great. TV show sucked. Movie? TBD on Telegraph Reviews Hitchhiker Movie, Approves · · Score: 5, Informative
    I need to dig the box of the attic and find a 5.25" floppy drive to try the game again.
    No, you don't
  10. Re:Dear AOL User on Amazon Talking with Netflix And Blockbuster · · Score: 1

    AOL!

  11. Re:Lazy / Time Consuming... on Survey Shows Admins Avoiding SP2 · · Score: 1
    So I am not at all shocked that network admins haven't all installed it yet.. But I bet you if you changed the survey to - "How many network admins are installing (Via Slipstream) SP2 on new installations?" you would get a very positive and different result.
    I'm not an administrator myself, but wouldn't this go against the idea of a homogenous environment? After a while, they'd be dealing with some of their users on a different OS version than the majority, probably leading to several new and exciting problems which may or may not be caused by the differing versions.
  12. Re:Can I just say on Zen and the Art of Apache Maintenance · · Score: 1

    Thank you! Having studied nothing but IT, I suspected that my intense dislike for the horrible, horrible book that is "ZATAOMM" stemmed from my lack of knowledge of the field he's supposed to be writing about. Good to know that people more knowledgeable than me on the subject me also found it to be somewhat lacking - it may possibly be one of the worst high profile books I've ever read.

  13. Good on Apollo Bacteria Destroying the Moon · · Score: 1
    Can this bacteria survive entry into Earth's atmosphere, dooming our planet as well?
    Let's hope it happens before March 31st 2006 ends.
  14. Please. No more. Please. on Apollo Bacteria Destroying the Moon · · Score: 1

    For the love of everything that is holy, please stop. Now. I know girls who can come up with funnier stuff than this.

  15. What about foreign keys? on 'Most Important Ever' MySQL Reaches Beta · · Score: 2, Interesting

    TFA doesn't mention anything about foreign key relationships, but it sounds more than a little weird to implement views, triggers and stored procs before FKs. Anyone know?

  16. Re:Thank God It's Almost Over on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    That said, AotC was perfectly watchable, and much better than many scifi and action movies I've seen.
    AotC would've been a pretty decent flick, hadn't it been for one minor detail: The "actor" who "played" Anakin Skywalker made me want to puncture my eyeballs with a spoon. Granted, the dialog he had to work with wasn't Oscar material, but there HAD to be someone better out there.
    Drying paint would've portrayed a more believable human being.

  17. Professional pride XOR common sense on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Speaking as someone who's not 100% satisfied with his current job, I have to say that I'd never quit without having something a lot better on hand - I had the misfortune of graduating just as the world found out that not everything ending with .com was a guaranteed goldmine and struggled for quite some time with finding someone willing to take me on. It may not be perfect, but a) It pays (not "a lot", but "enough") b) I have enough freedom to keep on top of current and upcoming technologies (I'm a developer) and c) My employers gave me a chance when noone else dared - they deserve my loyalty. So - in answer to TFA's author, you may not be a fool, but too much professional pride may not be an exclusively good thing.

  18. Re:Somebody has to say it on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1

    Would this problem have survived for so long if Arkeia Network Backup had been open source software? Well, considering that "This appears to be an intentional design decision on the part of the Arkeia developers", I guess it would.

  19. Re:I'm Late to the Party... on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    To watch the remaining episodes of the season, maybe?

  20. Can't wait on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting for this global warming phenomenon for ages - a few more years now, and Norway'll get that Hawaiian climate I've been longing for.

  21. Re:Remember the rules on Russian Denies Writing SoBig Worm · · Score: 1
    Rule #1: Spammers lie!
    Not true. My lady is now pleased, my mother's medication needs are taken care of and people think I have three legs.
  22. Re:Who am I? on Blunkett Backs Down on UK ID Cards · · Score: 1
    With a single form of ID, there is a single point of failure. When the One True Database has bad data about you, you will be screwed.
    Time to give Sandra Bullock a call?
