  1. Lights, camera... on Wired Amends Stories With Fabricated Quotes · · Score: 1

    Could have sworn I watched a movie this morning about the same damn thing. 'cept the dude worked for The New Republic, but the stories had the same clever play-on-words kinda names.

  2. risk management 101 on Risk Management - A Cautionary Tale · · Score: 1

    How do you strike a balance with risk mitigation and ease of use for users? Sure, you can run a backup of your data and applications every 5 minutes, but the of course, no work gets done.

    It seems like a professional discipline in itself. Risk+ certification anyone?

  3. Re:Amazon is my best friend on Online Shoppers Aren't Impulsive · · Score: 1

    Thanks, but in my general location (Jamaica), such content is not easily accessed whether for purchase or rental. That said, I'll have to continue my impulse-less shopping habits which my shopping cart allows me.

  4. Amazon is my best friend on Online Shoppers Aren't Impulsive · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've been waiting to buy "What the Bleep do we know" from Amazon.com for over two weeks. I'm not comparing prices or anything, just knowing that it takes only a second to buy it has put me in a lethargic state.

  5. Wait and see on Google Sues Click Inflators · · Score: 0

    Municipal WiFi is gonna reek havoc on PPC systems. When entire cities are being identified by a single IP Google and other players will have to go back to the drawing board to decipher fraudulent from legitimate clicks

  6. Re:xpdf on Adobe Reader 7.0 Coming to Linux · · Score: 0

    I agree, it isn't slow at all. It's all about time management.

    There is no knowledge that isn't power.

  8. Docmentation on Free Open-Source vs. Commercial Security Tools? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm thinking of writing a how-to for "penetration testers". It'll be titled "Locating Unprotected Backdoor Entrances" or more aptly, "Lube"

  9. Processor ^2 on Dual-Core Pentium 4 Slated For 2Q 2005 · · Score: 1

    This sounds like HT on steroids. Speaking of which, is the HT technology run from the core? If so you can now have 1 processor acting as 4.

  10. Re:Changes at the software level on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1

    As an ECU engineer, can you assure me that in 2010 I wont have a car running on a SINGLE OS which would be susceptible to failure?

    Then again, forget the tail end; would it run a single operating system?

    The "susceptible to failure" clause is automitically implied for any electronic system.

  11. Is it the theory or the implementation? on Yahoo! Sues Xfire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    How do you go about patenting notification? Am I to assume thet it's based on a specific way of doing this on the low end of the OSI model or something?

  12. Changes at the software level on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1

    I opt for the micro kernel version. Stalling on the highway because the radio driver crashed isn't a welcomed prospect.

  13. I'm Blue on Blue LED Inventor Nakamura Awarded $8.1 Million · · Score: 1

    So this is the guy I thank for the blue glow on my cell phone?

    The green was getting lame.

    Worth 8 mil to me.

  14. G4WackTV on G4 Drops TechTV Name · · Score: 1

    Oh where oh where has Leo Laport gone.

    I long for the days of the ZD branding when it the station wasn't just a recurring list of video game FMVs and ho hum reviews.

    No, I'm not a gamer. How could you tell?

    Do you think not hisitating makes it true?

  16. Re:disk space is cheap. on Speculating About Gmail · · Score: 1

    $hashed_message = hash($message);

    select id from big_ole_message_table where '$hashed_message' = hash

    some_function_to_link_the_message_id_to_the_reci pi ent_mailbox($id, $recipient);

    Hence the need to keep a message even after you click the 'Delete' button. Someone else might be using it.
