  1. Santorum! on Mining Neologisms from Wikipedia · · Score: 4, Funny

    One of my personal favorites is the word Santorum.

  2. Re:FTW on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    Only UltraNoobs use UltraEdit. You need to spend some time learning VIM (http://www.vim.org) and you'll never look back.
    Cheers.

  3. Re:Obligatory on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Or, in emacs
    M-% (AKA Meta(usually Alt)-Shift-5)
    Query Replace: ^M with [nothing] :-)

    Question for you: how would you do that across multiple files in emacs?
    The global search and replace command using vim on a single file would be simply:
    %s/^m//g
  4. Re:FTW on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can also do batch file processing with vim by using the following commands: vim *.match.files.* then once in vim: :argdo:%s/[^m]//ge | w this would remove the funky windows line endings (mind you, ^m = ctrl-v ctrl-m in vim).

  5. FTW on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    Dreamweaver FTW! It would be a huge timesaver in this situation.

    Good luck!

  6. Re:Nipples for Great Justice on Rethinking the Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid we actually read the article! Even if you had previously looked at only a picture of the ThinkPad X60, you would realize that it is a "Nipple- (or Nub-) only machine", meaning that it has the red dot and no trackpad.

  7. Re:CSS = ACID? on Internet Explorer 7 RC1 Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    Firefox still doesn't pass that test...

  8. Cool, where can I get the source? on The Keyboard That Could Phone Home · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Would love to see how exactly they implemented this ;)

    On a more serious note though..
    I always thought it was easier to just torture somebody for the password?

    Okay, seriously.. is there any way that we could protect against this in hardware or software? This could be a little bit tricky. I'll let you know as soon as I come up with a solution!

    /me heads off to go watch some MacGuyver/Stargate for ideas

  9. Oh My on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    What on eart are they thinking?

  10. pear.php.net on Good Software for Editorial Management? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, if you can do some SQL and basic OO programming...I recommend looking into the database packages over at http://pear.php.net. Specifically, the DB_DataObject and related packages make creating a simple database and user interface for this pretty easy. Probably 1 or 2 days work if you know what you're doing, tops.
    And if you think it is a little beyond your current skillset, perhaps you can find a developer who has worked w/ the pear libraries before to create it for you (I'm sure they have a mailing-list that would be useful for you, asl well).
    Good luck!

  11. pft...1Gbit/s -1 FLAMEBAIT on BitTorrent Beefs Up Network Capabilities · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With video that will get chewed through rather quickly. Let's see, even at a low average bitrate of 2mbps, that would only be able to stream to 500 people simultaneously (then w/ the added capacity bittorrent gives, you will get a little more capacity, but even 500 people uploading at 20KB/s only gives you roughly 1/10th extra capacity. Punish me and mod me down, but I really must inquire.. When did a company signing up for a gigabit line become slashdot worthy? :/

  12. The line of women somewhat of adisturbing image on The Making of a Motherboard at ECS · · Score: 1

    http://www.hardcoreware.net/image.php?src=5081&ts= 1151228420 This reminds me of factories in the USA al circa 1920 I thought we had robotics to do this kind of stuff quite reliably by not?

  13. I use it all the time on Damn Small Linux Not So Small · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and I must say, for desktop use, when you need linux real quick or want to boot off a CF card or USB drive, this will do the job just about every time :)

  14. What are your sources? on The Making of a Motherboard at ECS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can you provide references citing your claims about executing people for piracy, and torturing?

    Your off-the-cuff claims and lack of cited references leads me to believe you have no idea what you are talking about..

    Please prove me wrong, I hope you can..

    Thanks

  15. Re:This is why I prefer the anarchy of efnet on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: 2, Informative

    EFnet now has chanfix...the days of lawlessness and channel raiding on EFnet are unfortunately things of the past :(

  16. Re:Key quote from TFA on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And you forgot this gem:
    But Reutty dismissed that interpretation. "The main issue here is privacy of information, and all of this could have been handled by education," she said.

    I like her attitude :)

  17. perhaps.. Pink Pony Linux? on Linux Distributions for Embedded Development? · · Score: 1

    that perhaps global warming is at least partly due to Earth's natural cycle of events?

  19. Don't be so quick to give it up on Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Generally, it has been my experience that people are completely willing to give up very private information whenver demanded by a company or similar seemingly legitimate and authoritative entity. I encourage everyone to be more wary and careful about who they give their SSN to. Identity theft has become a rampant problem for many people all over the world. We have to wise up and Just Say No.

  20. The Moon on Work Begins on Arctic Seed Vault · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about putting the vault somewhere on the moon? If there was a major nuclear disaster...couldn't the effects screw up the poles of the earth too?

  21. The kind of company.. on WSJ on CraigsList and Zen of Classified Ads · · Score: 4, Interesting

    that isn't driven to make all the money possible as soon as possible. Part of the reason CraigsList is so popular and people appreciate/use it so much is because they aren't a bunch of sell outs who will spam you with ads at every possible opportunity.

    Also, sometimes when running a business, the best place to be is not necessarily the "biggest" and/or "most visible" place to be. Not every company dreams of or wishes to aspire to growing into some kind of huge behemoth like Wal-Mart.

  22. Re:Backwards into time... on Two-Tier Internet & The End of Freedom of Speech · · Score: 1

    You are dead on correct. Furthermore, it gets really rediculous considering that right now, with the way the internet is typically setup (for DSL/Cable users), they *CAN'T* make any QoS guarantees, only predictions. ARGH! The rediculousness of this whole thing baffles my mind...

  23. Completely Offtopic, Msg Intended for Quirks only! on Golf's Digital Divide · · Score: 1

    Dear Quirks, Your sig reads "It's better to whore the body than the mind". I am at a loss for figuring out what this means/what you intend it to mean? If you could provide some insight, I would really appreciate it! (I wasn't sure how to get the message to you, so I have replied to your thread here...) Thanks! mr_stinky_britches 2006-04-20
