    OK, you are right now shutup about it ;-)

  2. Wired vs. Wireless on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    I like to see wired vs. wireless networking duking it out. Wireless has increased security and range lately. But then Wired has gigabit! Who will be the winner! Stay tuned.

  4. Banks, etc on Microsoft to Offer Patches to U.S. Govt. First · · Score: 1

    There are lots of non-US-government systems that a re critical: hospitals, banks, air traffic control, etc.
    And anyways, the important patches non-a-days relate to keeping out Internet intruders. Hopefuly the miltary systems aren't on the public net!

  5. Re:The grand secret of spatial nautilus on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 1

    Sure, but it creates too much clutter.
    It would nicer if it was like Firefox's create new window or tab.

    What makes jyxo.cz so good?

  7. "Technology" on WinFS to be available in WinXP · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Could we please stop using the word "technology" when "component" or "chunk o' software" would do fine. It's Microsoft speak.

  8. Re:Costa Rica? on Costa Rica May Criminalize VoIP · · Score: 1

    No doubt you are American -- you don't say it... but reading between the lines you seem to be saying only the USA can set precedents... or matters. A dictionary defination of precedent is:

    "something done or said that may serve as an example"

    Why can this not serve as an example for other countries?

  10. Re:Java app on Building Richly Interactive Web Apps with Ajax · · Score: 1

    I agree javaScript is too horrible.
    Every second line has to be a hack to cope with browser differences!

  17. Re:For those whose hate patents.... on HP's Crossbar Latch... Next-Gen Transistor? · · Score: 1

    If you ask me this is something that deserves a patent.
    Unlike one-click shopping, etc.
    I'd be happy to pay royalties for when I eventually buy a CPU with it.

  18. "I don't want to get into semantics" on Deriving Semantic Meaning From Google Results · · Score: 1

    Sometimes in a dicucssion somebody might say
    "I don't want to get into semantics".
    I always want to yell - "why worry about the meaning of things - it'll just cloud things".

  19. Fortran 2003 on How Not to Write FORTRAN in Any Language · · Score: 1

    Wow, Fortran 2003 has OOP and asynchronous I/O.
    Pretty cool.

    What's the big deal about moving bowls?
    Dishes, bowls and plates should be easy to move in these suits!

  21. Secret APIs on Running Windows Viruses Under Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Running Microsoft programs is the hardest for Wine because they use secret function calls. The Virus writers (presumably) aren't insiders so don't know about the secret APIs. Should be easy for Wine.

  22. Opposite effect on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1

    Probably some cameras would zoom-in on people requesting anonymity!

    Just wondering ;-)

  24. No software so secure on Coyotos, A New Security-focused OS & Language · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it'll be super-secure since there will be no buggy software for it (actually no software). There won't be an worms or virus either!
    Just one problem - it can't do anything useful either.

  25. What software does HE use? on Hurricane Electric Offers Bit Torrent Service · · Score: 1

    Anybody know what software they use to automatically turn their ftp site into an torrent seed?
