    This book might help:
    A Quarter Century of UNIX

  2. Hooke watch, please on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    That's a Hooke watch to those of us reading
    Neal Stephenson's "Quicksilver".

  3. No longer land of the free on DARPA Funds Internet Tracking Scheme · · Score: 3, Informative

    We're all under house arrest now.

  4. Rover on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    Flash memory only reminds me of the rover.

  5. Re:Fortune? on GNOME in the Year of the Monkey · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Gnome just has to ditch mono.
    Saying the obvious: Gnome started as a reaction
    to KDE based on closed Qt. So what does Gnome do...
    they begin to based on Mono. Nuts.

  6. DARPA - yuck on Unemployed? Why Not Start a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    I would hate to work on a contract for DARPA.
    Lets optimize the kills from that curse missile!
    Lets run some simulations to see if we can kill
    more people by using smaller bomblets.
    What fun.

  7. Re:Best of Perl? on Best of The Perl Journal · · Score: 1

    Its only cryptic if you want to make it cryptic.
    Look at this cryptic code:

    open(FILE, "/etc/passwd");
    while($line = <FILE>)
    {
    print $line;
    }
    close(FILE);

  8. $10000 on Microsoft Agrees Settlement Over MikeRoweSoft.com · · Score: 1

    I bet he got his $10,000 bucks -- in addition to
    the nicknacks.
    The agreement says he isn't allowed to talk
    so we'll never know.

  9. What about Mexico/Central America? on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    Can I move to a sunny and remote beach town in Mexico/CostaRica/etc and get this kind of Internet access?

  10. Re:Too iconic on US Army Pursues Hydrogen Fuel Concepts · · Score: 1

    Yes, I enjoyed that article by RMI very much.
    Thanks.

    I had never heard of them before.
    I'll watch them in the future.

  11. Too iconic on US Army Pursues Hydrogen Fuel Concepts · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The two Iraq wars have been for the oil.
    All the critics said the money was better
    spent developing alternate energy sources.
    Imagine what the billions wasted on the war
    could have done for solar, wind, fuel cell tech.

    Now the military is moving away from oil
    because it costs too much.

  12. IBM / Linux ad on Sharing IT Problems with Executives? · · Score: 1

    Just show them The IBM / Linux ad

    (No, I don't work for IBM)

  13. Re:1st rule: SHUT UP AND GET A LAYWER on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1

    I think he's still in high school.

  14. Re:1st rule: SHUT UP AND GET A LAYWER on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1

    There are no attorneys in Canada -- where Mike is.

    They are called lawyers.

  15. Re:If you don't want this to happen to you... on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Exactly this is nothing stopping Microsoft counter offering $5K. Also I assume the ammounts are in Canadian dollars.

  16. Still... on Sun's new UltraSPARC workstation: the Blade 1500 · · Score: 1

    Its still pretty cool to have one a real Windows session in a Solaris window. I would like a setup like that for Linux.

  17. Re:Original on How Spirit Takes Pictures · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Thanks very much. Some of the stuff on that *MS*NBC site didn't work in Mozilla.

  18. Render wrong in Mozilla on Mars Rover Rolls And Turns · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That MSNBC page rendering wrong in Mozilla 1.5 on NT for me. There a big chunk of white on the right where I assume the article is supposed to be. The article is found down at the bottom. Its been a long time since a page didn't render correctly in Moz. Is MS being bad?

  19. Apache 2 runs well on Windows on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you assumed Apache was *nix only you haven't checked out Apache 2.x on Windows. Perhaps this is the cause of the gain -- Windows users switching to Apache?

  20. Re:ITYM on Memo Confirms IBM Move To Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I don't think it was the CEO of IBM.
    He doesn't need to see desktop Linux from Michael when there are tons of Linux people working at IBM.

  21. Re:As far as IBM is concerned... on Memo Confirms IBM Move To Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I love the commerical.
    In computer history its right up there with the 1984 Mac announcement that played in the Super Bowl.

  22. Re:Theories from Stephen Hawking on Black Holes No More -- Introducing the Gravastar · · Score: 1

    Interesting info - thanks.

    But if the idea of a black hole has been debunked
    then I guess radiation from a black hole is moot.
    Of course, this Gravastar ideas hasn't really been accepted yet.

  23. Theories from Stephen Hawking on Black Holes No More -- Introducing the Gravastar · · Score: 1
    Stephen Hawking is always touted as a genius but he didn't invent black holes as the article says:

    Black holes were conceived during World War 1 by the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild, who while serving in the war was scratching solutions to Einstein's theories.

    Has he come up with anything unique? What?
  24. Re:Infamous? on Internet Archive Opens Crawler Code Under LGPL · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just wait 20 years when you are trying to get a CEO job and somebody produces your embarrassing old weblog.

  25. Re:Outsourcing on Long Term Effects of Outsourcing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could it be that American programmers spoke the same language as the managers so were better able to communicate.
