    Seems like your wife is popular...

  2. Cache on UCLA, CIsco & More Launch Consortium To Replace TCP/IP · · Score: 1

    Yeah, good luck with replacing TCP/IP. This is just a caching system.

    Spanish? Brazil is Porra last I checked.

    Nice, he has a paid holiday already and it can only get better.

    Heil Hitler. Nuff sed.

  6. Re:Duh, it was accidentally on purpose... on Software Error Caused Soyuz/Galileo Failure · · Score: 1

    You mean using the EU satellites for GLONASS? Unlikely. However, they have intentionally crippled Galileo.

  7. Re:Russian Programmer's are Brilliant! on Software Error Caused Soyuz/Galileo Failure · · Score: 1

    Bingo! They don't want super accurate NATO cruise missiles coming in.

    Not to worry, the knight that says ni, will fix it.

  9. Re:So, is there any shred of EVIDENCE? on How the Ancient Egyptians (Should Have) Built the Pyramids · · Score: 1

    Yup, as I posted above, there are places in Egypt where buildings were left unfinished and it is clear that they simply dragged the stones over sand. Basically they buried the building site in sand and later dug it out again, while dressing the stone from the top down. It is easy to do if you have enough people and time on your hands and they had those aplenty.

  10. Re:Corroborating Hieroglyphics? on How the Ancient Egyptians (Should Have) Built the Pyramids · · Score: 5, Informative

    Anyone that actually lived in the middle east knows that sand is everywhere. They simply stacked the blocks while building up a sand pile around it, then eventually dug the sand away again, while dressing the stone from the top down to the bottom. There are actually some unfinished spots in Egypt where the tools of the trade and the gravel heaps surrounding the still partially dressed stone remained. There is no mystery about it in reality - only on TV.

  11. Re:My Grandma on TechCentral Scams Call Center Scammers · · Score: 2

    Come on, just buy your granny a nice big tablet running Android and be done with it.

  12. Re:Seriously, we're not rapists.... on New Nail Polish Alerts Wearers To Date Rape Drugs · · Score: 1

    Oh good grief. No they don't.

  13. Bored housewives and secretaries on Among Gamers, Adult Women Vastly Outnumber Teenage Boys · · Score: 1

    The bored underclass of female assistants has been playing solitaire since the mid 1980s. I suppose that makes them gamers.

  14. Re:Avoid IoT at all costs on Securing Networks In the Internet of Things Era · · Score: 1

    Yup - an ethernet port is handy to configure something, but there is little need to hook every thingummababber to a network switch.

  15. Re:No Default Route on Securing Networks In the Internet of Things Era · · Score: 2

    Yup - only enable services that are actually needed. That reduces the attack surface. A printer doesn't need a default route, a DNS server address, a FTP/Telnet server and many other things that HP and others enable by default in their printers.

  16. Re:Oh good lord. on Do Dark Matter and Dark Energy Cast Doubt On the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    Dark matter is the foam noodles and other packaging material that the universe was transported in. It now lies in a skip at the back.

  18. Re:Would YOU be able to sleep in space?? on Study Finds That Astronauts Are Severely Sleep Deprived · · Score: 1

    If anyone who wants to go sailing read this - Sit in the back of the yacht, don't go inside, do put on a hat and shirt, do use sunscreen. Always look horizontally, try not to look down and NEVER look up. After a few days, you'll be used to it, unless you don't heed the previous, get seasick and consequently never get used to it. My guess is that space is like being inside the cramped cabin of a yacht, while suspended upside down.

  19. Re:Finally! on Red Hat CEO: Open Source Goes Mainstream In 2014 · · Score: 1

    It looks like your post must have been stuck in a 10 year time warp and is actually from 2004.

  20. Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 on Long-Wave Radar Can Take the Stealth From Stealth Technology · · Score: 3, Informative

    Military IFF also does civilian ATC. No surprise there at all actually.

  21. Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 on Long-Wave Radar Can Take the Stealth From Stealth Technology · · Score: 2

    Long waves on short antennas are just less efficient. It means more electrical power is needed for the transmitter on a small fighter plane.
