  1. You want Trickle on The Completely Fair Scheduler · · Score: 1

    There is something like that to balance ethernet traffic: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/04/06/15162 52

    You can do the same with iptables and route2, see the advanced routing howto on tldp.org.

  2. Agnostic mountain on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a really bad band called "The agnostic mountain gospel choir". Nobody, but nobody, will ever rip and share their music...

  3. Re:tag: backintheussr on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 1

    Well, Lord McCarthy had it right: ...Moscow girls make me sing and shout, but Georgia's ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, my, oh my!...

  4. Re:Martial Law in Beijing... on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 1

    The US didn't win the cold war. There was no cold war. The cold war was a propaganda myth and eventually everybody got tired of it...

  5. Re: No enemy? on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 1

    Loss of status??? The status of Russia grew enormously in the last few decades. The Russian economy is booming. The USA is dependent on the Russian space program for some things. Europe depends on Russian energy...

  6. Sounds good to me... on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 1

    There is so much violence in any large country, that if you have to report every murder or assault, then the newspapers will be nothing but. Balance is required and it seems that the owners insist on that. Which party line should be supported is a matter of which people they are targeting - sitting on the fence is worse.

  7. Multiple video screens on Is Your Printer Ripping You Off? · · Score: 1

    It is more cost effective to buy multiple video screens and forego printing altogether.

  8. Re:Dot Brunette? on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 1

    An old HP advert said: Old printers never die, sometimes you just wish they would.

  9. Excellent on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 1

    More work opportunities for the rest of us.

  10. Forgot something... on Teens Actually Do Protect Their Online Profiles · · Score: 1

    SSN: 579 234 889 Visa CC #: 8976 2334 6672 3462 9834 Exp Date: 03/09 There, fixed for you...

  11. Re:This is a good thing! on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 1

    Think you have a hard time? A friend of mine complained that being a Jewish African American White made it impossible to find a job anywhere except in New York...

  12. Re:Confused, also.... on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 1

    Deadbeat moms? I guess it is mainly because the guys don't bother complaining about it.

  13. Re:What's this gotta do with America? on Airships to Patrol Venezuela's Skies · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Venezuela *is* in America, so it has gotten everything to do with it. I guess you are mumbling about the USA, which is only a small part of North America, never mind South America...

  14. I give them about 10 seconds on Airships to Patrol Venezuela's Skies · · Score: 1

    till they are so bullet ridden that they come down in tatters...

  15. Re:Sure this will work on OpenOffice Could Soon Become Web-Based Apps · · Score: 1

    Verbing nouns weirds English, but in Germanic languages it is quite common.

  16. Dell threatened to load Linux on Dell To Offer Win XP On Consumer PCs Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so MS had to relent and keep XP going...

  17. The Internet... on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... uses the blue e thingy. So, you don't use the internet?

  18. Lots of different rail standards on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    There are lots of different rail standards. Most of Africa and India use 3' 6" for example. The width is chosen depending on the load carrying capacity required to make the line economical and longer lines with infrequent trains usually translates into narrower gauges. There are many multi-gauge cars and locos in use to bridge the interconnects too. This is a problem that was solved 150 years ago already.

  19. So, I take it that they haven't found that... on Word Vulnerability Compromised US State Dept. · · Score: 1

    ...rigged Excel spread sheet that wires money to ElQaida yet... ;)

  20. Canada on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It · · Score: 1

    It is weird how in Canada, the power of the Federal government diminished over the years, while that of the US Federal government increased.

    The Alberta government doesn't even bother to pass a law to block Federal crap - the Prime Minister simply announces that 'Alberta will not enforce the whatever crap act' and that is the end of it.

  21. Bar magnet on Star Trek Shields Now a Possibility? · · Score: 1

    Chances are that all they need is a Dollar Store, toy bar magnet...

  22. The SSN is just a number on Student Financial Aid Database Being Misused · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know *all* SSN, credit card, phone numbers and dates of birth and I'll gladly sell them to anyone at only 1c each.

  23. Eventually the RIAA will sue a Judge on This is How We Catch You Downloading · · Score: 1

    That would be a fun case to watch.

  24. Hurricane pictures show same shapes on A Symmetrical Cosmic Red Square · · Score: 3, Informative
  25. Hurricanes on earth also do that sometimes on A Symmetrical Cosmic Red Square · · Score: 1

    I have seen photos of hurricanes that have poligonal eyes. This is unusual, but not exactly rare. A circular eye is probably just a high order poligon.
