  1. Elderly scientist say something is impossible? on Position-Based Quantum Cryptography Proved Secure · · Score: 1

    So a quantum crypto-cracking program wouldn't work? It'll be an ugly loop just like armor and armor piercing weapons. Wait for it...

  2. Are we Digg Now? on xkcd, Devotion To Duty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Honestly....

  3. California Spoilers on California Moving Forward With Big-Screen TV Power Restrictions · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of California spoiling things for the rest of us. Maybe some of the smaller states need to come out with some silly restrictions that would drive California crazy for once. Perhaps a few crazy laws on things exported from them for a change. I'm sick and tired of seeing tags that say, "Known to cause cancer in the state of California." I actually bought a power tool with that sticker once. This nutty idea of banning black cars... just wait.

  4. Danger Will Robinson, Danger! on First Black Hole For Light Created On Earth · · Score: 1

    Does anybody think this might eventually be a bad thing? I mean if it sucks in light whats to stop somebody from sticking their hand in it to see what it feels like.

  5. Pointy Haired Nitwitt on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think you have a pointy haired boss who can't do anything himself. Thats why he has other people do the IT. I've run into these types of people before. He's probably the kind of guy that staples the crap out of cat cable and wonders why his network is down.

  6. Re:Tsk Tsk on Microsoft to Force IE7 Update on February 12th · · Score: 1

    Apparently a long time. I have several medical clients who cannot upgrade to IE7 because their multitude of web applications with different hospitals and remote offices simply have not been able to upgrade as of yet. Some of these web application shops have a small number of programmers and cannot keep up with demand.

  7. Re:first computer-os9 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Actually it was OS-9. Microware created it as a real time version of unix. It was quick, nimble and the first multi-threaded operating system for a home computer.

  8. Re:first computer:coco on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    I think a lot of us upgraded. I know I had a coco3 with 1 meg of memory and two hard drives at one point. Those certainly were things that radio shack didn't plan on happening when they built that computer. I just don't think you see that sort of thing happening much any more.

  9. first computer on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    I had a battleship gray 16k coco with a chicklet keyboard. One of my first. The coco was a user name for the color computer from radio shack. I miss my my cocos.
