  4. Reply?! on Google's 20-Year Usenet Timeline · · Score: 1

    Somehow I find it funny that Google provides a "reply"-link for usenet-posts from 1985.. :o)

  5. Re:Maybe that was the point on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 1

    Ofcourse shortcuts are meant to be difficult. If they were easy they would just be THE WAY!

    "I just saw it and having been aware it was coming in advance, I still skipped those two mails and kept reading. Does anyone actually pore over the spam?"

    Advertising works. It may not yield even a percent of the readers. But it's a very valuable target-audience.. Non-technical IE-users.

  8. Bad hacker! Bad! on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 5, Funny

    Though you have to admire the subtlety..

  9. Re:Newspeak on Intelsat-7 Lost In Space · · Score: 3, Informative

    If only I had modpoints. Nice tip. :o)

  15. One can dream... on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1, Troll

    In an ideal world, research like this would be done by an internationally funded, politically independant organisation. When the research was done the technology should be public domain - free for all to use. No patents, no licensing.

    But unfortunately politics and economic interests again gets in the way and science suffers yet again.

    There will never be fusion as long as oil sits in the presidential chair..

  16. Re:Thank you Fujitsu And Afilias. on PostgreSQL 8.0 Enters Beta · · Score: 1
    Better documentation? What?!

    Honestly, have you ever worked with PostgreSQL? I have for the past year, and the docs are excellent. There's a few odds and ends, but I have never seen any docs without them.

  17. Re:Tracking teams and other uses on Mapping The Tour de France Riders From Space · · Score: 1
    The data feed could also be used to help keep track of riders as they go after the green (points) jersey. This is a really exciting part of the Tour de France that never really gets as much attention as it deserves.

    The only downside is if a rider needs to change his bike in the middle of a stage. Any and all positional data for that rider will be useless..

  18. Re:etc on PHP 5 Release Sparks Up PHP-GTK 2.0 · · Score: 1
    That's another dialog altogether so..: Not good enough. I simply cannot see the motivation for removing a textbox from this particular dialog.

    Aestetics? In that case I call BS!

    The new one is a lot more usable.
    Right.. That's the one without a way to input a filename without using the mouse. Really usable..

    Oh, and they also have the rights to Richard Stallman's fingers. Everything he types is theirs.

    I pity them...

    I realise you might be joking, but I'll bite..
    Enough IT guys switch, and then who cares about all those .Com[mercial] groups anyway.
    Ehm.. Just 99.99% of the current Internet-enabled population? To be frank, I don't think alternate DNS-providers are the solution at all. Being in an alternate DNS database might as well mean being on a different net altogether.

    No companies worth their salt goes where there is no customers. The .geek and .oss TLDs speak volumes for themselves...

  22. Re:questionable features on Eclipse Finally Gets Code Folding · · Score: 1
    What?! How can you talk about preprocessing and PHP? It's a scripting language. It's all execution-time processing, especially in regard to includes.

    What you really want is C-style preprocessing. The fundamental difference here is that in C the code gets compiled and therefore preprocessing makes sense. Unless PHP steps up from being interpreted files to being binary executables, what you are talking about makes no sense.

    Auschwitz...

  24. Re:um and? on Asteroid to Make Closest Recorded Pass to Earth · · Score: 1

    You do realize that he said 100 kilometers, right? As in 100.000 meters == ~300.000 feet. I'd say Jupiter is a bit bigger than that...
