    The russians just lost 18 satelites at launch.

  5. Re:Windows...still... booting... on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 1

    Actually this is untrue. I got a bug in IE on Win2000 which causes the IE crash when it displays a tooltip. Once this bug appears, i have to log out from the user (exiting IE6 doesn't fix it) to make it disappear. What does this mean: some rendering dll (which is responsible for the tooltip) remains in memory, and causes segfault in IE6.

  6. Re:"Soon" ... on Astronomers Awaiting 1a Supernova · · Score: 1

    Nah, it will provide enough power for the Stargate so we can hop over to another galaxy to escape the Ori.

  11. Re:Why link to ZDNET Asia? on Former MS Employees Explore OSS · · Score: 1

    If you don't know what is it, or whom is it, it isn't for you.

  12. Re:Killer Mania! on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look · · Score: 2, Funny

    Being called "Vista killer" this stuff might strike fear, uncertainty and doubt in Steve Ballmer :P

  13. Re:At the risk of fanning a fire... on Patient Revives After 19 Years By Rewiring Brain · · Score: 1

    There was a difference. Terry's brain cells died. This man's brain cells didn't die, and developed new connections. Big big difference.

  14. Re:Mac nerds? on Nerds Switching from Apple to Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    Haha, i thought the same, a pity, i couldn't mod you up as insightful :)

  16. Re:Some light on Spain Adds 'Copyright Tax' to Blank Media · · Score: 1

    You mean, when i copy my own work from one media to another? Because now i pay for this! Copying any RIAA crap (stuff protected by the riaa) is illegal (according to them).

  17. Why no more schools? on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 1

    Maybe no more schools are needed for people working and dying in mines or assembly lines?

  18. Re:Delicious marketing gimmick?! on Microsoft Loses Appeal in Guatemalan Patent Claim · · Score: 1

    This patch is 'free', M$ made it available as a security upgrade. I saw it a while ago, it was something like: 'after this patch access cannot have excel spreadsheets linked in'. I was pondering if it is a security upgrade or a feature upgrade, but it turns out it was a license downgrade :) Btw, the patent is quite ridiculous. Both access and excel is m$ crap, why would anyone get a PATENT for this obvious trick. I'm not talking about copyrighted source code, this is a method/concept stuff. On the other hand M$ loses more than if they simply bought the idea in the first place.

  19. Employed black hat hackers??? on Microsoft Says Vista Most Secure OS Ever · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Admitting employment of black hats is admitting a crime. Or, if they did a legal work, they are not black hats. Or, the article is messed up.

  20. Re:There is another option... on Hifn Restricts Crypto Docs, OpenBSD Opens Fire · · Score: 1

    Why the fuss, there should be a similar chipset without all this bother.

  21. Re:What about FreeBSD ? on Christian Science Monitor Putting OSS at the Helm · · Score: 1

    Point 1 is already messed up.

  22. Re:Microsoft has been into clustering for years. on Red Hat Not Seeing Microsoft, Ubuntu as Threats · · Score: 1

    I more or less agree, but an "nsca self-made cluster" is not the same as "ms is into clustering". While their stuff isn't well suited for clusters, not even for networking, i'm sure they can achieve better if they put some money into it.

  23. Re:CipherTrust? nothx. on Spam from Taiwan · · Score: 2, Informative

    If a mailer manages to supply those crippled IP's then the mail is definitely fake, and most likely spam (or virus). Don't confuse a legitimate subnet mask with a fake IP.

  24. Re:I predict future malware will take the shape... on Predicting Malware · · Score: 1

    Stupidity is the major vector, though.
