  1. Hasn't Stopped Comcast on Comcast Pays Out $16M In P2P Throttling Suit · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm a Comcast user, and as soon as I fire up bit-torrent my cable-modem starts resetting every 2 minutes or so. That has to be Comcast. Takes my cable-modem a minute to cycle through the reset sequence, during which time I'm offline. This tactic seems more egregious, though. Before, they were just interfering with packets. Now they're interrupting my service. Turn off bit-torrent, cable modem and service runs like a charm. Mysterious, isn't it....

  3. New Way to Uncover Nuke Subs? on New Neutron Scatter Camera to Detect Smuggled Nukes · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of that recent blurb about the Chinese nuke sub that surfaced in the middle of one of our naval exercises... maybe we could use a Neutron Scatter Camera to detect Chinese subs...?

  4. Too old. on Google Adjusts Hiring Processes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I interviewed at Google, and the first person (kid) to interview me had the juevos to ask me "you know you're kinda of old to work here. You really want to work for kids?". I thought long and hard about filing suit... but my alzheimers caused me to forget about it...

  5. G.I., G.O. on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Garbage In, Garbage Out

  6. Re:What is Vista anyway? on Major Microsoft Re-Organization · · Score: 1
