  1. Re:But what do they want to major in? on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 1

    Whatya mean? If it's law enforcement, they're off to the best start possible. This situation is about as real-world as it gets.

  2. Re:Someone's gotta say it on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 2, Funny

    Once they start producing the dual-core, hyperthreading "Extreme Edition", it should run Vista just fine.

    ...until SP1 comes out (currently scheduled for 2010, I believe).

  3. Re:Completely out of hand on Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd tell people to mod you up, but you can't go any farther. As I've often said in the past (and will continue to say), the credit reporting agencies don't give a shit about you. They have no reason to care about whether the information they have on file for you is accurate. YOU ARE NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. Their customers are the ones they're selling your information to. When you contact them to complain about inaccurate information, they consider it a nuisance that *might* need to be dealt with. And the simple reason is because YOU ARE NOT THEIR CUSTOMER.

    The absolute last thing I wanna hear emanating from the bathroom: "GOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

    But even though a laptop can deliver more, it comes at a price, Steel noted.

    The price of paying less?

  6. Re:Oh crap. . . on Why Apple Backed out from India? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Heck, the living wage in Cupertio is WAY higher than one in Kansas City, MO or De Moins, IO.

    And it's probably higher than it is in Des Moines, IA, too... : p

    Not Apple Records, silly!

    But I thought the Beatles were profiting from everything I bought from iTunes. Are you trying to tell me they weren't? Somebody should sue iTunes's ass over this!

    If you don't want to let the networks know your opinion, then you have no right to complain when they won't listen to what you're not saying.

  9. Re:Early and often on HL2 Episode 2 Not Until Spring 2007 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However, this is Half-Life 2 we're talking about. It could be 2 hours of gameplay at $20 and a year apart between releases and people would still buy it. I know I will.

    And with that statement, you just justified the entire episodic content business model.

  10. okN.xls? on Microsoft Confirms Excel Zero-Day Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Trojan arrives as a Microsoft Excel file attachment to a spoofed e-mail with the following name: "okN.xls."

    Hmm, I guess I should rename my spreadsheet containing a list of Oklahoma natives.

  11. Re:Why bother? on Using Jet Engines to Cool Servers · · Score: 1

    I don't have much experience with water cooling solutions, but what happens when that full-rack system springs a leak or develops some other problem? Do you end up losing the whole rack of machines (either temporarily or permanantly)?

  12. Re:Christ, is "active" a hip marketing term again? on Using Jet Engines to Cool Servers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, it certainly isn't a passive cooling solution...

  13. Re:Currency symbol? on Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen · · Score: 1

    If you'd actually bother to follow the thread (yeah, I know--it's a really really hard thing to do), you'd see that voice_of_all_reason was directly responding to a question asking what currency the 102,138 was in--a value that refers to the bounty being offered, not the value of the stolen goods. To respond to that question with a comment about the value of the stolen goods makes no logical sense. So voice_of_all_reason was either answering a question that wasn't even asked, or he was referring to a value that had no place in this particular question. Either one of those doesn't particularly bode well for him. And to call my response ironic shows that you're not particularly following things too well, either.

  14. Re:My Predictions... on iPod Faces Patent Probe · · Score: 1

    Very unlikely scenario (less than 0.001% chance): The sun explodes, causing a dip in Apple's stock price.

    Hmmm. I don't like those odds. I'd better sell my Apple stock and build myself an exploding-sun-proof bunker.

  15. Go Creative! on iPod Faces Patent Probe · · Score: 1

    If Creative can put a stop to this, then it looks like I'll have a collector's item on my hands!

  16. Re:I have a better idea... on Fiscal Year Close a Good Donation Time for Free Software · · Score: 1

    I'm sure quite a few have. However, their theories probably go right over the heads of the BoD or whoever approves the organization's budget. It seems that a reasonable solution might be to have "rollover" surpluses. Of course, that still doesn't do anything to prevent the "hoarding" nature of many humans.

  18. Re:I have a better idea... on Fiscal Year Close a Good Donation Time for Free Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While I agree that it's wasteful and, quite simply, foolish, the basis for it is the simple notion that if you didn't need the money in your budget for this year, then there's no rationale for needing it next year. If the money gets spent in some fashion this year (it really doesn't matter how), then it can be justified as "necessary" during budgeting time for the next year. As anyone who's had to follow a budget will tell you, it's far better to be in a position of excess than it is to find yourself overbudget and having to cut true necessities.

  19. Payload on New Worm Starts Munching MSN Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    "on the 1st day you get scared, on the 2nd you get desperate, on the 3rd you look for help and on the 4th you die"

    Panda did not provide information about the payload of the BlackAngel.B worm.


    I think it's pretty clear what the payload is. Somebody better get a fix out for this quick...Like in the next 2 or 3 days!

  20. Re:Currency symbol? on Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, so you didn't even bother to read the summary. Good job!

    And to whichever mod modded the GP 'offtopic,' it's a perfectly valid question. Knowing which currency the 102,138 number is in would help. I'd look it up in TFA, but fucking Websense won't let me.

  25. Re:Images of the text? on Another Sky Press Driving Neo-Patronage · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No kidding. I don't intend to read the book online. And it looks like they've gone out of their way to stop people from easily saving the pages and patching together their own copy to print or convert to pdf or whatever. Think of it as low-tech DRM.
