  1. Re:Eh? on Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think it's hardly vague given his post contained terms like redundancy, backup and internally hosted space. Not sure but I think "internally hosted space" was the givaway...

  2. Re:Getting ready for the MS bash on Recomputing the Sky · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the flamebait mod. I actually thought this was quite funny. My computer sucks. Posting to undo the mod...

  3. Re:Okay then. on The Chicken May Have Come Before the Egg · · Score: 1

    We've already covered this. And it was the egg that was first. Since a chicken could only come from a chicken egg, the egg has to be first. Only a chicken egg can hold a chicken. If it's not a chicken inside the egg, then it is not a chicken egg.

    Genetic variations of the bird through evolution lead to a "not quite chicken" that, due to a random genetic mutation, laid the first chicken egg, from which came the chicken.

    Especially the hippies!

  5. Bona Fide OS Developer on Modern Day Equivalent of Byte/Compute! Magazine? · · Score: 1

    This is a good hobbyist site for banging on the PC hardware. www.osdever.net/

    There was music in that video?

    What we need is for Novell to open-source all that wonderful Unix code before someone buys them up.

  8. Re:Centralia on Giant Guatemalan 'Sinkhole' Is Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Not the game but it was for the movie.

  9. Why? on Why Google Needs To Pull the Plug On Chrome OS · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's time for Google to realize that it is way too early to be pushing an OS that only provides a browser.

    Why? Emacs did it for text editing...

  10. Re:Refuting the imaginary article in your head on How To Guarantee Malware Detection · · Score: 1

    Why was this modded flamebait? I didn't take it as a flame... it's a valid statement...

  11. Re:Refuting the imaginary article in your head on How To Guarantee Malware Detection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's getting kind of boring explaining the article over and over again.

    You mean the part they say they don't even need to start with a clean machine?

    Sorry, that anonymous post was mine. Don't know how that box got checked...

  13. Re:Refuting the imaginary article in your head on How To Guarantee Malware Detection · · Score: 1

    The assumption in the article is that the malware is trying to remain in RAM to actively hide its presence, hence the scan will detect that something's there that shouldn't be. Of course as pointed out elsewhere, the malware could just let itself be swapped out... float away with the rest of the garbage... so to speak.

  14. Re:Refuting the imaginary article in your head on How To Guarantee Malware Detection · · Score: 1

    If the malware gets swapped out it won't be detected in the scan. Which was sopssa's original point at the top of the thread.

  15. Re:Arguments on Hackers Counter Microsoft COFEE With Some DECAF · · Score: 1

    I just did a Google search to see if anyone has reported it to be a virus and found nothing. It's probably safe.

    I'm installing it now. I'll let you know what hap

  16. Re:I Don't Worry on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    That would be legally, not physically. And believe me, when I was in college, there were no physical limitations on alcohol consumption before the final year. :-)

  17. Re:I give up on Microsoft Finally Open Sources Windows 7 Tool · · Score: 2, Informative

    "The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD."

  18. Re:Is it possible? on Martian Methane May Be Created By Lifeforms · · Score: 1

    Actually, decay is caused by living microbes breaking down the organic matter (and releasing methane). No life means no decay (in the metabolizing sense). Dead organic matter with nothing to cause decay would likely dry up and turn to dust or become fossilized.

  19. Shadows? on STEREO Satellites Spot Solar Flare Tsunami · · Score: 1, Troll

    "We wondered," recalls Gurman, "is that a wave—or just a shadow of the CME overhead?"

    Shadows on the surface of the sun?

    Must have been light from Venus reflecting off some swamp gas...

    More specifically, Tivo...

  22. Re:OK , so the first link... on "Breathtakingly Stupid" EU Cookie Law Passes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously? That discussion was from just "a couple of weeks ago."

    Either that or the submitter must have came in close contact with a micro-black hole...

  23. Re:Earth novel? on Micro-Black Holes Make Poor Planet Killers · · Score: 1

    I've never read that one. However, I found Singularity by Bill DeSmedt to be quite good. Sci-Fi thriller centering around the theory that the Tunguska event was caused by a micro-black hole.

    Or your shell of choice... works for me.

    Nope. Same issue.

    The halting problem refers to the problem of finding a general solution that will determine for all possible programs whether or not they will halt.

    You most certainly can write an algorithm that can determine if certain subclasses of programs will halt.
