  1. Re:Windows Live OneCare on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1

    Is it "one hair" instead?

  2. Re:The fr**king chair .... on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1

    It was at a wedding - maybe they invited him because they thought he'd bring a good gift.
    (Being rich and all.)

  3. Good on Sendmail Removed From NetBSD · · Score: -1

    Sendmail was impossible designed before the Internet.
    (Was it designed?) Didn't address security at all.

  4. Sounds like factland on Illumio to Launch Social Network Advice Software · · Score: 1
  5. Re:"Google" software for Linux on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 1

    If you we're told ... how would you know (it was running with wine)?

  6. But..!? on X.Org Releases First Modular Source Roll-Up · · Score: 5, Funny

    So they broke it up into pieces and a we are now celebrating the
    release of the pieces rollde together into a monolithic whole!?

  7. Banks - yuck on Can Peer-To-Peer Finance Work? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sure would be nice to be rid of banks. There's no reason they have to last for ever.

  8. Iterative refinement on Baby Meets Big Brother For Science · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First baby thows out an early prototype. eg "Ga-ga". This is praised
    however some constructive critism by the clients (parents) is offered - eg "Da-da". Baby then adapts the first prototype and re-demos it for the users and clients. And so on.

    By the time version 3 (years) is reached baby is still in the iterative refinement design and development mode. For example: "I eated dinner". The user-clients offer "I ate dinner" as a correction that is a new feature in version 3.5.

  9. Other offices on Google Opens Sydney Office, Internship Program · · Score: 2, Informative
  10. GPS card on Computer Network Time Synchronization · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you really care about time why not use a GPS card in your PC.

    eg http://www.visualgps.net/NMEATime/

  11. Re:Minix 3 screenshots on Tanenbaum-Torvalds Microkernel Debate Continues · · Score: 1

    Just port KDE or Gnome to it.

  12. Re:"underpaid and overwhelmed" on USPTO to Use Peer to Patent Program · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the US and EU could informally partner... The co-owned PatentCheckAgency would just research pending patents and recommend to the US and EU patent depts.

  13. "underpaid and overwhelmed" on USPTO to Use Peer to Patent Program · · Score: 1

    Also since the patent workers are "underpaid and overwhelmed" they could hire more and pay them more. Then they'd get better results.

    Also they should team up with the EU. There's no need to have two patent offices both looking at the same things.

  14. Re:Cut and Paste? on Vim 7 Released · · Score: 1

    Hey that's great! Thanks.

  15. Cut and Paste? on Vim 7 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder if it has a nicer way to cut and paste.
    I have always been unhappy with yank-number of lines
    or marking, etc.

  16. Why not just wait until Tuesday... on MacBook Announcement Expected on Tuesday · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... then we don't have to guess.

  17. Shredders arn't that great on Identity Theft From Tossed Airline Boarding Pass? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I was looking for sensitive info on a street on garbage day I'd look for the shredded stuff. Also, of course, you can put it back together.

  18. Re:My #1 reason why the are stagnating... on John Dvorak's Eight Signs MS is Dead in the Water · · Score: 1
  19. Re:A simpler way on Easing Compatibility Between OpenOffice, MS Office · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the solution for KISS internation characters is an XML file like this:

    Stuff åäö

  20. Re:Pageflakes anyone? on Web 2.0 Goes To Work · · Score: 1

    Yes, its neat but its scaping content from other sites which is rude. Isn't it?

  21. I want reliabity on Seven Mobile ATA Hard Drives Compared · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want a raid in a harddrive form factor. So I can just plug it in like a new hardrive but if one disk fails it can still live.

  22. Windows at hospital == Windows death on Windows Live Goes to College · · Score: 1

    (title says it all.)

  23. Not so crazy on WebOS Market Review · · Score: 1

    Since all the comments are negative I thought I'd add some non-negative comments.

    No they aren't OSes but they are environments / platforms.

    The requirement for internet access isn't such a big deal.
    Bascially I find any computer nearly useless if it doesn't have internet access these days. Try programming without doing some Google lookups for reference or
    mail!

    It subvert the big bad MSFT - so that's good.

    Users will like it. No need to have a computer - just a virtual one.
    Did people cry when answering machines were replaced with voice mail.

  24. Re:Google/China Relationship on Google's China Problem · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They should list the banned sites but with an icon (eg person with blindfold) beside them.

  25. dumb on Privacy Threat in New RFID Travel Cards? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but RFID just seems like so dumb.
    Now border guards just scan the barcode. What's wrong with that???
