  1. stalling on Firefox 3 Performance Gets a Boost · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and does a single tcp socket's stalling not cause the whole damn thing to seize up?

  2. Re:Armageddon on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    who knows what it was or what its source? and who knows what is on very long orbital periods around our own sun?

  3. Re:The Y7.6B Problem ...? on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    Check any reliable stellar evolution source that projects sun's life cycle, we only have 400 million years, the Sun is slowly expanding at such a rate only microbes will survive the searing surface heat by then.

    you haven't been told the dark secret about stepping disks, they run on diesel fuel and get 13 miles per gallon city, 18 miles per gallon for long jumps. And don't complain about this, the inventors will just turn their back on you and kick you hard in the nuts.

  5. Re:Armageddon on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    pick a longer timescale, last 4.5 billion years, there *WAS* a major impact and thus we have the moon.

  6. Re:Bad idea. Too much bloat and cruft on Japan Launches "Super-Speed" Internet Satellite · · Score: 1

    serious business web pages can leave most of that bloated interactive crap behind. Buying and selling and monitoring business can be done old-school: ssl and text and small images and forms.

    Even the maps and TV listings of yahoo have become just fucking annoying with all that interactive bullshit, classic mode is the way to go.

    web developers can quit turning webdom into a fucking goddam pinball machine.

    but will it run NetBSD?

    I'm not forking out all that dough for something with less functionality than some toasters.

  10. Re:What's wrong with this plan? on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    some of the big carriers already have ipv6 at their "core", really it can just be their problem when the true crunch comes 3 to 4 years from now (if not later, even though it's fun here at slashdot to run around doing chicken little)

  11. Re:Doesn't check out. on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    the devices works as claimed, but only on a gas giant.

  12. it *does* check out on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    it was left out of the article, but you're supposed to use 50 lbs. of coal for the weight and light it on fire.

    you know, I've never bothered to actually find out what the scientologist whackjobs believe. thanks for the summary, all I need to know. I take it when infants they were all spanked on their heads soft spot, often.

  15. Re:Do you really need a refresher? on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 1

    what a load of bullshit. here is why we're in Iraq:

    oil tycoons
    defense contractors
    central bankers
    israel

  16. Re:that's flawed - here's better methodology on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 1

    Al Q isn't big enough to either split Iraq nor are they the cause of most of the violence, that's a Bush-Cheney lie. It's a sectarian civil war that's doing most of the killing.

    The total civilian casualties *are* in the hundreds of thousands already, due to the USA, and the refugee count more than that. Worse than anything Saddam ever did.

    It is pointless for us to be there, and only brings more misery.

    We are there to line the pockets of defense contractors, skids greased with the blood of our soldiers.

    We are there to protect the oil tycoons interests, oil for blood

    We are there because Israel wanted it.

  17. Re:Analog has its place on Analog Cell Phone Network Shuts Down Monday · · Score: 2, Funny

    those lazy gits with the crank phones should use the time-honored town criers and carrier pigeons.

  18. that's flawed - here's better methodology on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have a fool-proof method for completely avoiding any future attacks upon our troops in Iraq. Get the fuck out of Iraq. Stop invading countries for the purpose of lining the pockets of defense contractors and protecting the interests of oil tycoons and central bankers. Predictable idiotic responses to my idea: the terrorists will have won! The terrorists have already won a new recruiting and breeding ground, thanks to gw, cheney and rumsfeld. Iran will take over Iraq: let them have it. they're probably too smart to want the trouble though. there will be civil war and genocide. we already have that, pay more attention. we'll destabilize the middle east. we already did that.

    I'm going to poison your spam honeypot with millions of high quality emails from decades of backups, whatever algorithms you're trying to develop will reject anything except truly randomly generated data streams. come to think of it, I'll send you a buttload of those too.

    ah yes, those deviant National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alike members, I sure wish it was the old days when they just stayed in the closet

    exploit works in CentOS 5's 2.6.18-8.el5, but the disable_vmsplice_if_exploitable crashes it

  22. very simple what to do on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 1

    electric motors rely on rotating magnetic fields. if you have permanent magnets attached to any supposed "perpetual motion" device, there will be a source of rotating magnetic fields somewhere which require power (and yes, this makes any such thing a hoax).

    XP does not run well on my 1 GHz Xeon with 1GB ram U160 SCSI workstation, it's bloated crap that bogs the the thing down compared to how it flies with Linux. good thing I don't have to boot into goddam windoze much.

    corporations constantly put bullshit data into those acid-compliant databases and then believe them forever as if they were true.

    already, we have the Dick-Shrub using such databases to terrorize the populace with expansion planned.
