    Where's my USB toaster?!?!

  2. I eye MSFT with a jaundiced eye on Microsoft Eyes PC Isolation Ward To Thwart Botnets · · Score: 1

    SharePoint is the shit! Not figuratively, literally. Heaping mounds of steaming shit.

  3. Re:What would you do? on Is AOL Finally Crashing and Burning? · · Score: 1

    The CEO will probably be paid a large bonus whether he drives the company out of existence or makes it profitable. That's how American corporations work, generally.

  4. email accounts on Is AOL Finally Crashing and Burning? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If they went under, what would happen to the millions of aol email accounts still in use? Oh, the humanity! The only time I am ever aware that aol still exists is when my 79 year-old father forwards email to me that was sent to him from one of his elderly, aol-using friends.

  5. Re:Firewall? on Cache On Delivery — Memcached Opens an Accidental Security Hole · · Score: 1

    If he's a FreeBSD guy he should be using ipfilter. HEH!

  6. Re:Putting things in perspective on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    The administrative interface should be disabled by default from the Internet side. The interface should only be available from an internal ethernet port. Customers could be asked to enable access to the external IP address/port when needed.

    She does body (bikini) waxing for a living although she may offer "happy endings" as well. I'm not sure.

  8. Re:Implied Racism! on Android Data Stealing App Downloaded By Millions · · Score: 1

    HAHAHA! I got chewed out my my girlfriend's Vietnamese friend for refering to an "oriental" market I shop at. I'm a round-eye, so according to her I'm not allowed to use that word. Problem is, the market has "oriental" in it's fricking NAME! Turns out the Vietnamese girl's brother is an "Asian Studies" major at a college in Calif. Heh.

  9. MSFT Fanboys HURRY! on ATM Hack Gives Cash On Demand · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hurry up and bring us a long list of reasons why it's NOT Microsoft's fault!

  10. Re:Absolutely on Does Anyone Really Prefer Glossy Screens? · · Score: 1

    You didn't specify glossy. You didn't need to. It's the default.

  11. Re:How much did they save? on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 1

    Those rigs don't float; they stand on the ocean floor. Your point is good though and actually I agree with you 100%.

  12. Re:Egregious on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 1

    Hear, hear! How is this not at least felonious criminal negligence? I guess the thinking goes, "if we prosecuted suits for making 'mistakes' it would 'stifle innovation.' " Oh noooooos. Oil companies might take fewer risks! And that would be a bad thing?

  13. Re:Does Not Work with Most IDEs! on Finance, Scientific Users Get ActivePython Updates · · Score: 1

    I must have worked for five companies that had legacy apps running on Windows servers. Lots of companies seem to start that way (Microsoft everywhere) and within a few years they realize their mistake and switch to Solaris or Linux. Trouble is, they never bother to port their Windows-based apps to *nix and are stuck supporting gimpy Windows 2000 servers forever. Do business schools cover this scenario at all? It's so common it could be called universal.

  14. Does Not Work with MSFT IDE! on Finance, Scientific Users Get ActivePython Updates · · Score: 1

    I think you meant to say, "Can someone at Microsoft please re-write VBasic to work with these modules?" Yeah, it can never be Microsoft's fault.

    Is that 15k per household or 15k per well?

    You're being too kind. He should be pounded with rock salt.

  19. Need moar expensive, custom software! on California Tracks Parolees With GPS, Then Ignores Alerts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Officials say the backlog grew because they lacked software to run an ongoing report of all unresolved cases." Prolly all they need is a sql script. But whatever.

  20. Re:Linked Data #1 on Berners-Lee Pushes Linked Data In MIT Course · · Score: 1

    Are you asking a question?

  21. Re:Priorities on Chatroulette Working On Genital Recognition Algorithm · · Score: 1

    HAHA! That was my first thought as well.

  22. Re:ZOMG GATES FARTED on Bill Gates's New Version of the Einstein Letter · · Score: 1

    As a rule, I never read anything Bill Gates writes.
    He couldn't even see the Internet coming so how can he be this omniscient sage?
    I also don't watch Oprah and she probably has more
    influence over the future than Gates does.

  23. ZOMG GATES FARTED on Bill Gates's New Version of the Einstein Letter · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Whatever Gates says is PURE GOLD! Follow his advice! Do it NOW! He are a GENIUS!

  24. Re:"does not yet support my older 2.4 Linux server on Volume Shadow Copy For Linux? · · Score: 1

    He's probably not even allowed to install security updates without filling out three change request forms and waiting a month for final approval.

  25. Re:Microsoft's Business on Microsoft a Weak Link In Possible Cyber War · · Score: 1

    I recently searched for "linux" on two web sites where US govt jobs are posted. These were "official" sites like usajobs.gov. I forget what the other one was named. The search produced two (2) postings, both of which were in Huntsville, Alabama where they test and develop missiles and other weapons.
    I'd love to help the Obama administration replace the Fed's pathetic Windows infrastructure with Linux, *BSD, even Solaris but I don't see any jobs posted anywhere for this sort of work.
