  1. Re:Call me naive or something, but... on New Siemens SCADA Vulnerabilities Kept Secret, Says Schneier · · Score: 0

    It won't do the trick because the vested interests wouldn't get paid as much. What are you, a commie? jk

  2. Re:Junior Member? on MoD's Error Leaks Secrets of UK Nuclear Submarine · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought. They let some old fart or someone completely non-technical handle it.

  4. Re:Documentation died with Sun on Post-Oracle Purchase, How Is Sun's Software Doing? · · Score: 1

    That is a fact. It's a real challenge to find what you need.

  5. Re:There are Safeguards Already on Disempowering the Singular Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    What is this "good management" of which you speak?

  6. Re:Job security on Study Says Software Engineers Have the Best US Jobs · · Score: 1

    HAHAHA

  7. Re:Enemies of the State on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    Glenn Beck should have his colon probed every time he boards a plane. No, I'm not volunteering.

  8. Re:Perhaps. on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    In the Soviet Union, East Germany and China during certain epochs all it took was someone "denouncing" you and you were off to the gulag. People would rat each other out over the smallest (or imagined) slight.

  9. Re:The Republic on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    In a true police state, the anti-terror agencies would have disappeared you months ago. You'd be in a gulag or be fish food by now.

  10. Re:Excelent on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 1

    Right on. Only when the fat cats begin to lose money due to the anti-terror hysteria will anything change. Unfortunately there is now an entire new anti-terror industry with their own lobby, and they'll do anything to keep their place at the trough.

  11. Re:As a voter who normally leans Democrat... on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 0

    Does he also drink the blood of Christian infants and grind their bones to make his bread? Yeah, George Bush (the lesser) never could have kept up with him back when he was drunk. Yeah.

  12. Re:"none" is singular on 10 Dos and Don'ts To Make Sysadmins' Lives Easier · · Score: 1

    Hey I need heavy duty springs for my 1997(?) Rockshox Judy SL fork. I could send it to hippietech in CO and they'd cut springs to fit but that would cost bug bucks. Any idea what springs my work? All I can find on ebay is soft and extra soft springs.

  13. "none" is singular on 10 Dos and Don'ts To Make Sysadmins' Lives Easier · · Score: 1

    "None of them is filler." But you get full credit for the question marks. So many people seem to think they are optional.

  14. No. on Can Windows, OS X and Fedora All Work Together? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Microsoft actively thwarts open standards. Fuggetaboutit.

  15. use the cameras to identify the A-HOLES on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Have the cameras identify the a-holes who can't stop talking during the movie and deliver a painful jolt of electricity to their seat until they stfu.

  16. misuse of apostrophe on Geocities To Be Made Available As a 900GB Torrent · · Score: 1

    The plural of iso is isos. You do not want an apostrophe before the s. If an iso could own something, you might type something like, "the iso's chair is broken."

    Specifically, what IP are you talking about? Java? Solaris? How do those generate cash? How could they?

  22. I hope Oracle doesn't get a clue on Oracle Needs a Clue As Brain Drain Accelerates · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope they pay the price for their ignorance and hubris. What did they get for buying Sun, exactly? As far as I can tell, they got a busload of very smart engineers who can find work wherever they want, or found new companies. Oracle needs them more than they need Oracle, even in this economy.

  23. away from GNOME to what? on Ubuntu Moves Away From GNOME · · Score: 1

    Ur. KDE? Their own wm? WAT

  24. Re:Cynics unite! on Heroic Engineer Crashes Own Vehicle To Save a Life · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. Someone without so much as a high school diploma could easily understand the physics in this situation without ever having studied physics. Yeah, he needed caluclus to know what to do. Right.

  25. Re:Wow.... on Ray Ozzie Quit... What Took Him So Long? · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with bias if it's based on a long, sad history of screwing the consumer with monopolistic practices? If I'm a Liberal, I'll read a newspaper with a liberal slant. If I'm a Republican I'll watch Fox News. It's silly for anyone to pretend to be unbiased. MSFT was convicted of attempting to create a monopoly. Remember? Of course you don't.
