  1. Re:packet radio? on FCC Considering Proposal For Encrypted Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    Why?

    To me this sounds like something from the 30s. Do you have to have a silly mustache? Perhaps a big old chair to broadcast from?

    I believe it is a long moustache that John seems to have, and his chair is against the wall... But I think I se where you are going...

  2. I still have one... on NetWare 3.12 Server Taken Down After 16 Years of Continuous Duty · · Score: 0

    I inherited two 3.12 servers at my current place of employment. I started in '04, got rid of one in '06. The other is around for 'legacy data' for accounting and for a certification program we need for finished goods. They were installed in '93. I have had two major hardware failures since I started and used the parts from the second server to nurse this one along. The current plan, green lighted last Wednesday, is to virtualize it on to a 'nix box, but we are still going to keep it, probably until the end of time.....

  3. Re:decade long op!? on Decade-Old Espionage Malware Found Targeting Government Computers · · Score: 0

    I thought I was the only one left in the world running the archaic Netware achitechture...lol. any idea on how to virtualize it?

    SWAT....Sit Wait And Talk. As defined by 4 seperate SWAT members in 3 different departments in my area. Just saying....

  5. Been there, done that.... on How We'll Get To 54.5 Mpg By 2025 · · Score: 0

    I had a 1981 Nissan Sentra Diesel that got 55 mpg in the city. It had worse emissions per gallon than the '81 Ares K I had owned previously but if you do the math for the mileage the Diesel Sentra was MUCH better over all...

  6. The Emperor is my Shield!!!!! on Happy Tau Day · · Score: 0

    Aren't Space Marines, perhaps even the Imperial Guard the best war to deal with the Tau?

  7. Re:Glucose anyone? on Is Sugar Toxic? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, as mentioned by other this is BS. I have been living on a diet consisting of less than 30grams of net carbs/day for over 3 years and my primary food is from meat, chicken, and fish. The only carbs (sugar of any variety) that I eat are from berries (strawberries, blackberries raspberries, etc) and pecans walnuts and almonds. In fact I went from 2200 kcals to 3400kcals and in that time, I am lost 65lbs (first 6 months) and have kept it off; my total cholesterol has decreased from 150 to115, my HDL is up and my LDL is down. My blood pressure when from 130/75 to 110/65. My memory has improved and I have WAY more energy. The body IS much better off using ketones for energy.

  8. Intelligence based on sociability? on Oxford Scientists Say Dogs Are Smarter Than Cats · · Score: 0

    Sociability is a poor benchmark for intelligence. Look at the average /.er or IT/technology guru. Generally not the social icon, but extremely intelligent. Additionally, look at most blonds. Highly sociable, not very smart. My cat has been trained to use the toilet...and flush when he is done. Try to get a dog to do that!! A cat will not eat the meat that is even slightly tainted but a dog will eat literally anything, including dog poop. This example alone shows which animal is smarter in my opinion.

  9. Definately on Is Sat-Nav Destroying Local Knowledge? · · Score: 0

    Just use phone numbers as an example. When I was a kid (ok I am showing my age now) we had to actually memorize phone numbers. I think that I have like 3 numbers that I can call off the top of my head, otherwise I need my cell phone. If my cell phone dies I am f-ed ( I have them archived somewhere though). The same will happen with the wider use of GPS'. The more we lock in way points and destinations we will lose the need to recall them on our own....at least until Dec. 2012 when the satellites fall from the sky but the world will erupt into a fire ball then anyway so it won't matter. (It is a joke people..haha laugh)

  10. Another waste of funds.... on US Sets Up Emergency Multi-Band Radio Project · · Score: 0

    This is why the DoD funded the development of the JNN. We can do this and more with a JNN, guess what...we already have it. So the DHS is just wasting more of our money. Thanks guys, as if things aren't bad enough already.

    RNC? I thought I said conservatism. The Republican party, although it claims to be, is not conservative at all.

    I'll tell you what has changed... /. I have never seen more rampant conservatism here on /. I...I think I am starting to a bit teary actually. Where have you guys been?

    Also, I think it was t-shirt hell, had a t-shirt with Obama gazing stoically into the future and a caption which read "Just another brother looking for change".

  15. Rember the remote controlled rat? on Honda Develops Brain Interface For Robot Control · · Score: 0

    Hey what would happen if they used this robotic interface to remotely control the 'remote controlled rat' of a couple of years ago? That might actually be kinda fun when you think about it...plus it might be helpful in fully understanding the complexities of the....rat....race...buhah..buuwhahahaha

  16. Re:if you think the 1st amendment is over... on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 0

    Would you like to go line by line and look at the bill of rights and list out how each has been abridged, misstated or outright ignored? They have all been f-with on some level...except perhaps the Third Amendment. But then again who doesn't quarter troops in there house these days?

    I feel dumber for having to say this....YES the last sentence (and only the last) is a joke...

    HOOAH! 19E from 88-90 (think M-48a5's M-60A3's), 19K from 90-94(Slick M-1's), and recently I re-enlisted as a 25S SATCOM Operator-Maintainer

    Just one question though...why not just equip a bunch of RC bots with mini guns and control them from Ft. Hood? you could even equip them with a highly energetic self termination device...to keep the enemy from getting the assets on the battlefield...or to just create a big crater....RUN FROM THAT JIHADI!!!!

    Of course doing so might be what sparks the war between man and machine as I am sure that the machine will reject being enslaved in such a manner....but seriously...why not?

  20. Think of the polar bears!!! on Alaskans Prepare For Volcanic Eruption · · Score: 1

    Come on people we are loosing our perspective here....First the polar bears loose their ice flows only to then be coated in gray ash! how will they ever survive this? And because they no longer have ice flows to hunt from, most of them have taken on land based jobs. If the volcano REALLY blows it's top this could spark a fairly localized volcanic winter and these poor bears, who have taken it upon themselves to hunt from land will be force, once again to hunt from ice flows....HOLY SHIT people. We can not ask these bears to do this (as they have since the beginning of time)
    On a more serious note did anyone catch new '78 like weather in the midwest? wasn't that about the same time period that the climatologist of the day were running around with their hair on fire spouting global cooling? Just checking...

  21. Re:Being more practical is a bad thing??? on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    If the implementation is an exercise in frustration, would that not, therefore, make it impractical to begin with?

  22. Being more practical is a bad thing??? on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    "However, it also highlights the device's shortcomings, including the fact that SSDs are more practical for most applications."

    I'm sure that there is some sort of typo somewhere. Since when is being "...more practical for most application..." considered a shortcoming?

  24. Wait a second..... on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    I blame Verizon for not having the appropriate support mechanisms in place for her to utilize her Ubuntu with their service. As such I would think that she would attempt to find a service that could meet her needs. Further, the school is to blame for not supporting her alternative computer lifestyle, their insensitivity has cost this woman her degree in underwater basket weaving for gods sakes! And then there is her parental unit for not providing her with the necessary skills to live in the world with a modicum of common sense. (if common sense is so common....why do so few have it?)

    Further, I blame this travesty on President Elect Obama. It is his lack of in site and failure to insure that every man woman and child in this country...nae the world...is fully computer literate in multiple operating systems. I call for impeachment....

    Yes...I said it....it is called sarcasms.....and I have been hovering with a neutral karma for far too long...

    I figure that once you are dead from a Mt.Dew to the forehead the pain will stop pretty sudden like.
