  2. Re:Band of Brothers on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: 1

    You're not going to see Picard doing so. We get an all-new cast, which means noone we've seen. This is both bad(in that we don't know anyone's personality) and good(in that the authors are free to kill off anyone, thus keeping us on the edges of our seats).

  3. Re:Getting fired on Motivations for Corporate Blogging · · Score: 1

    Why limit it to Microsoft? Check out Dooce. She coined the term dooced: to lose one's job because of one's website. Or do a plain google search.

  4. Re:Linux? on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's been speculated upon. The general feeling by a few dozen Mac sites is that it won't happen. The general feeling is that, provided Apple does use Intel chips, it's going to be for something secondary, like on a graphics card or a TabletPC-type thing(although I think that last one isn't going to happen).

    If this isn't old news.. I don't know what IS.

    Computers can be used to compute ballistic trajectories with amazing accuracy!

  6. Re:Anonymous snail mail to IT admins... on HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Trouble with that is, they(the administration) isn't concerned with the security, they're concerned with catching whoever got the numbers. "They did it on their home computer through their server, they said. They got a court order and went and checked it and they found it,"

  7. Re:What if... on How Battlestar Galactica Killed TV · · Score: 1

    The Star Wars Holiday Special comes to mind.

  8. Re:So patched before public disclosure on Apple iTunes Hit With a New Critical Flaw · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. It's so the people who are always first-adopters can get it first, therefore easing the load on the servers. They can also find any bugs that may have crept into the system.

  9. Re:Bah on CMU Professor's Rebuttal Against RIAA Propaganda · · Score: 1

    I read a study that said it was 86%!

  10. Re:258$ "stealing" tax?!? on Dutch Pass iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    The heck with blank paper...tax all paper. Books, manuals, even playing cards!

  11. Wonder what it's going to do... on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    to their sales now that they got slashdotted. Ironic justice. The heck with their sales, their entire availability.

  12. Re:Why would i want to do that? on MSN Search Engine Favors IIS · · Score: 1

    OS X has Apache built in. A fairly recent version, IIRC.

  13. Re:One of my favorite kernel comments.... on Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope.
    TCP: September 1981. Standard 7/RFC 793 (replaces RFC 761)
    FTP: October 1985. Standard 9/RFC 959 (replaces RFC 765)

  14. Re:One of my favorite kernel comments.... on Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges · · Score: 1

    I thought that FTP used TCP. Hence, FTP wouldn't work, unless you forced it to use UDP & found some other way of making the transmission reliable.

  15. Re:You're confused, oh trollish one. on Brief Tutorial on Reverse Engineering Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Grammar and spelling: Jobs should be capitalized and it's "jobs is the end-all-be-all." :D

  16. Re:Slow learners? on New Mac System Specs · · Score: 1

    Or at least that's what Apple says.

  17. And if it were to get bad enough... on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 1

    that's what'd be in the spam.
