  1. Re:5th Graders on Chimps Outscore College Students on Memory Test · · Score: 0

    I see you are on the OpenBSD mailing lists (misc@openbsd.org). RTFM is the standard answer to a question.

  2. Re:Colombia on Peru Orders 260K OLPCs, Mexico to Get 50K · · Score: 0

    Oh I get it... because Columbia is the cocaine distributing capital of the World and will hide 1/5Kilo of drugs in the laptop? Am I right?

  3. Re:Recruit Better Talent on Media Research Exec Says Music Industry Is On Its Last Legs · · Score: 0

    Except for their advertising themselves, yes. Every now and then they'll feature an artist who has an album (for lack of a better word) coming out, but he'll do live songs in addition to talking about the album.

  4. Re:Comes with the territory on Minor Leak Being Investigated Aboard the ISS · · Score: 0

    They should just open a big can of fix-a-flat, no?

  5. Re:Recruit Better Talent on Media Research Exec Says Music Industry Is On Its Last Legs · · Score: 0

    I listen to XM satellite radio. Not great, but heads above FM.

  6. Google bought Postini - DUH on Are Spammers Giving Up? · · Score: 0

    SPAM is way down at Google probably due to the fact that they acquired Postini, who has an excellent SPAM filtering technology. I use AppRiver for my company because Postini costs an arm and a leg, but would've gone with them if cost was not an issue. Either way, I'm very happy with AppRiver.

  7. Re:Here is the act in its entirety on U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat · · Score: 0

    So, by their own definition, our government are "Homegrown Terrorists" since they "intimidate or coerce" the "civilian population of the United States". That's quite the recursive performing-anti-terrorism-on-yourself loop they have gotten themselves into, huh? Smells like a big stinky period of extreme civil unrest on the horizon to me.

  8. Operated by a private firm?? on Houston Police Test Unmanned Surveillance Aircraft · · Score: 0

    Kind of like... oh, say, Blackwater is a private firm?? That way, the police departments can't be held accountable for any atrocities that take place. No! I want the police department to operate them so that when (operative word "when") they violate our privacy and civil rights ordinary citizens can protest and hold our civil servants accountable. This is chickenshit - just like Blackwater - and I fear is becoming a trend of how our government operates.

    I think it's time to develop our own counter U.S.-based terrorist operations - "private firm" style.

  9. Re:while life itself can be reinvented on Are Aliens Living Among Us? · · Score: 0

    Floors me too. So who's to say that there isn't life on Saturn or Jupiter? Isn't there a scifi writing out there somewhere where the author outlines a life form on Jupiter of life forms that were based on gas? - like big thinking, feeling farts just floating around?

  10. Re:And the answer is: Liquid Nitrogen on Cooling Challenges an Issue In Rackspace Outage · · Score: 0

    It's probably the cooling option that takes the least amount of power, but don't you need some sort of pump to pump it through the cooling system?

  11. Re:Which only shows on Cooling Challenges an Issue In Rackspace Outage · · Score: 0

    Don't forget all the hot Norwegian chicks. How could you forget that??

  12. Re:Android will start the Java tornado on devices on Google's Android Cellphone SDK Released · · Score: 0

    The number of mobile phone users without a PC will soon be an order of magnitude higher than the number of PC users.


    Order of magnitude?? You don't get around regular computer users much, do you? Most of the people I know want a phone to be a phone and a computer to be a computer. Screen size and not-wanting-to-be-bothered-all-the-time has a lot to do with gadget adoption. I think you meant "order of magnitude within my circle of friends.
  13. Re:S.E.T.I on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 0

    If they have the ability to visit us, then the far more likely scenario is that they will exploit/conquer us.


    No, you've got it completely backwards. We would probably be visited by a peaceful and highly advanced race. At that time, BushCo would KILL them during a White House dinner (by Blackwater scum), take their technology and use it against other humans. We are the cancer in the Universe, not the protein, you pompous ass.
  14. That's great, and all on Ballmer Calls Android a "Press Release" · · Score: 0
    That's really great, Mr. B, about your Android, and stuff, but what REALLY happened with your CIO Stuart Scott?? We are DYING to know.


    Love,

  15. Re:Some information... on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 0

    he's certainly pulling down several hundred thousand dollars a year


    Are you kidding me? Have you no concept of huge money company salaries? He's making several mil/yr + stock. His kids have a nanny and his wife has several maids and a "tennis instructor" (wink wink nudge nudge say no more). He's going to be just fine.

    Quick show of hands... who gives a fuck about hollywood?? That's what I thought.

  17. Re:Reprogramming is what they are doing. on Google's Young Brainiacs Go Globe-Trotting · · Score: 0

    I was in the same basket as you in March of this year. I chose the company that touted work-life balance as one of the things they take pride in and not Google. I am very happy with my decision. The Google-ites that I spoke with were just creepy. To those of you Google-ites who are reading this and take it as a compliment - don't. I mean meth addict creepy.

    & people with too much disposable income will support the ladened OS that is Windows
    Oh I get your angle now. It's a money thing. Like those people who speak out against SUV's and then, when they make bank, go out and buy one.
  19. Re:Robot pirate hunters? on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 0

    No no no! You got it wrong! The correct syntax is: "I, for one, welcome our new robotic sea ninja overlords."

    You have a very calloused tongue, then. I wish I could do that.

  21. Re:In other news worlds hottest pepper "discovered on Capsaicin Tested On Surgical Wounds · · Score: 0

    I grow habaneros and use them in my cooking all the time. No, I wouldn't eat them right off of the plant - that's just dumb. But it's my contention that they do add a nice flavor and a really subtle heat to any sauce or soup.

  22. Wow! on Intel's 45nm Patch Machinery Exposed · · Score: 0

    Wow... that's... yeah.

  23. Nope on China Launches First Moon Orbiter · · Score: 0

    It's not a moon orbiter until it orbits the moon, guys. So far, they've just launched a rocket with hopes of the payload achieving moon orbit. OP should change the title or re-post when it's circling the moon.
