  1. Re:Damnit! on Failed Avionics a Possible Cause of BA038 Crash · · Score: 1

    Hmm, there may be a strong case for that. Who-ever thought C++ is suitable for flying aircraft needs to have his head examined.

  2. No more shouting at your computer on Researchers Work To Perfect Computerized Lip Reading · · Score: 1

    This will be a much more office environment friendly way to dictate to a computer. The only people I know that use speech recognition software are lawyers.

  3. Re:Installation Guidelines? on Personal Weather Stations Helping With Weather Forecasting · · Score: 3, Informative

    People that participate are usually very clued up about the weather systems: Pilots, small airports, farmers and the like. They all have an interest in having accurate data.

  4. Re:The irony of anyonimity on Online Crime Seen as Growing Threat to Business, Politics · · Score: 1

    Yup, I think it is time to move to a shack in Montana to maintain your anonymity. I heard that there is one going cheap - Una, Una Kazomething... Yeah, that's the place...

  5. Re:License Russian technology on Design of Next-Gen NASA Rocket Showing Flaws · · Score: 1

    No, it is not simple, but yes, the Russian systems do work.

    Alternatively the US could license the European Ariane technology, or they could revamp their old Saturn 5.

  6. All your Word(s) on Microsoft Threatens Startups Over Account Info · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All your Word(s) are belong to us. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. Bow before your god! Hmmm, they all apply quite nicely to MS.

  7. Re:Zimbabwe on CIA Claims Cyber Attackers Blacked Out Cities · · Score: 1

    What? They have electricity in Zimbabwe?

  8. Re:Universal SPIM for everyone! on AOL Adopting Jabber (XMPP) · · Score: 1

    So Iggy, does Citadel have a solution for Spim?

  9. Palm tree paper on Bizarre Self-Destructing Palm Tree Found · · Score: 1

    Now we finally know what Q used to make paper for James Bond.

  10. Doxygen on Tools For Understanding Code? · · Score: 1

    Another vote for Doxygen.

  11. Angus Young on Green Light for Human/Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Dirty deeds, done with sheep...

  12. Re:The important stuff on Microsoft Releases Specs for Binary Formats · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Re Feb 14: Most geeks have no clue what you are talking about...

  13. A BIOS that actually does something on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Wow! What a radical idea. A useful BIOS. Who woulda thunkit.

  14. Talking to oneself on Mac Version of NaturallySpeaking Launched · · Score: 4, Informative

    I tried Dragon a number of times, but it feels too much like talking to oneself. Training it is a chore too. 99% accuracy after 5 minutes is probably true, but I type much better than that. I suppose it will be great for people who either can't type properly or are lysdexic.

  16. MS Paying their customers? on Study Touting OOXML Over ODF Is Debunked · · Score: 1

    Wow, I didn't realize that business has become so bad for MS that they now have to pay people to use MS Office, but that is the only way it can be cheaper than OOo.

  17. Re:My date of birth on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    Oops, my birth date has a sign fault...

  18. Eee PC outselling Apple on First Scareware For the Mac · · Score: 1

    It is funny, but Asus expects that the little Linux based Eee PC (typing this on one!) will outsell the Macintosh this year.

  19. Natural causes on US FDA Deems Cloned Animals Edible · · Score: 1

    So, would you rather eat a cow that died of natural causes?

  20. No privacy clause in your constitution on US Policy Would Allow Government Access to Any Email · · Score: 1

    If you wish to have a proper bill of rights, then you need to emigrate to Canada, Germany, South Africa or Russia. The constitutions of most other countries are rather lacking in comparison to those.

  21. You need a salesman on Earning Money with Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Geeks do not typically make good salesmen and salesmen do not typically write good software. Soooo, you need to find someone that can sell the software for you. This is the only way to success really.

  22. Re:Luddite revolution on US Policy Would Allow Government Access to Any Email · · Score: 1

    Never underestimate the bandwidth of a SUV full of Blue-ray disks.

  23. Re:Bored on EU Launches Yet Another Antitrust Probe Into Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Hmm, a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon the MS shareholders will be demanding that Steve make it work.

  24. Re:Porn on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1

    Well, I suppose you can 'touch' the cell phone in your pocket together with the one in her pocket and exchange all kinds of data...

    The next big thing will be RF condoms for all your Sony products to prevent an inadvertent exchange of unspeakable images.

  25. Re:Port it to Linux on ZFS For Mac OS X Source Code Available · · Score: 3, Informative

    You should reformat with XFS.
