  1. Re:Not what it seems on Software Freedom Conservancy Wins GPL Case Against Westinghouse · · Score: 1

    In many senses it was a "win by default" - it was unchallenged, they couldn't afford to challenge it...

    How typical... He with the most money wins! God our justice system needs an overhaul!

    Oh wait... we won... nevermind!

    Yes, but Westinghouse was bankrupt, so the money DID win!!

  2. That wasn't the real finale on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    I don't event think that was the real finale. If one thing really defined the show this season, it was the ever present and really fucking obnoxious big red "V" that kept showing up in all the wrong places, like over subtitles, etc. Clearly, this could not have been a real episode, since there was no "V" intrusion.

  3. Re:First things first on Microsoft Refuses To Patch Rootkit-Compromised XP Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just to be sure that we get this update, I am installing the newest Antivirus 2010 on all of our network machines. This version should pickup the rootkits that Antivirus 2009 left behind. Since I work at the IRS, our systems are absolutely critical to protect this month.

    You mean it doesn't cost $20.00 to make a CD? Really?

    Don't they have to polish the ends to ensure faster data throughput?

    Not if they buy nice shiny Monster Cables.

  6. Re:Bye Bye New York Pizza on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1

    Ooops, good catch. That is the recipe for Pizza Dough from Alton Brown of the Food Network. I just copied it to get a quick list. He had the * in the original list for some reason.

  7. Bye Bye New York Pizza on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1
    Luckily, New York's economy isn't largely dependent on places like pizzerias.

    * 1 tablespoon kosher salt*

    * 1 tablespoon pure olive oil

    * 3/4 cup warm water

    * 2 cups bread flour (for bread machines)

    * 2 teaspoons olive oil

    * Olive oil, for the pizza crust

    * Flour, for dusting the pizza peel

  8. Re:C'mon slashdot. 1 phone, uncorroborated on HTC Android Phones Found With Malware Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    Excellent point. Do you think anyone will pay attention to common sense though? Let's see how many they shipped and how many had the same little package installed. This should be relatively easy to trace.

  9. Microsoft is a big violator of ACTA on European Parliament Declaring War Against ACTA · · Score: 1

    I keep lots of pirated stuff in my Hotmail account. I am sure that everyone else does also. Can we complain that Microsoft is HOSTING this pirated information and other intellectual property? Three strikes and they are offline permanently right? Secondly, a bunch of the spam that I received has stolen logos from various pharmaceutical companies, watch-makers, banks, software companies, etc. Is hosting these jpgs of corporate logos and apparent IP infringing emails a crime? If so, that is strike 2 for Microsoft (hotmail at least). Ooooh, look, Bing just transmitted links to lots of pirated stuff. I demand that Microsoft be disconnected from the internet at once. Where do I file take down notices?

  10. Re:A clean uninstaller? wow! on Energizer USB Battery Charger Software Infects PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ubuntu does not equal Linux. Come on man! You probably have to wait for it to be packaged upstream. Besides, a DLL is a LIBRARY file. You should be looking for lib-arucer or something similar like waffles, or whatever the developer felt like naming it. If that doesn't work, try x-arucer, or switch to Gentoo. I am sure they can get it.

    PS- Wine might run it, but you will probably need a patch. Try Cedega or Play-On-Linux, or qemu or dosbox.

  12. Dell installed crapware on an Ubuntu system on Who Installs the Most Crapware? · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Dell Mini 10v came preinstalled with Dell crapware including the yahoo toolbar for use inside of Firefox. Firefox includes a search bar with Yahoo as an optional search provider. Simply chaning the default search on their config would have been fine and gotten them cash from Yahoo, but NOOOOO, they installed the whole toobar. On a netbook, an additional toolbar is pretty irritating. I wiped the whole system and installed a clean Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it. Now I am happy again.

  13. That is to be expected on Guaranteed Transmission Protocols For Windows? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Think of this transfer model like a car, the further it goes, the more bytes are burned up. they just need to be added back in with a network filling station. I would look to google for a government approved provider.

    vista.exe and we all know it can virtually kill any machine.

  15. Re:Stereotypes usually have some kernal of truth on Does Dell Know What Women Want In a Laptop? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The correct answer to "Do these pants make me look big?" is NOT "There's nothing wrong with those pants."

    I have put this issue to rest in my household by always answering yes. I don't even turnaround or give a quick look. This approach has worked for "Does this (whatever) make me look fat? Does this match?, Do I look OK?" etc. Don't even look, the issue is in her head and there is no correct answer. Once she knows that the answer will always be yes, she will just stop asking and figure it out for herself. Oh, and the answer to which shoe looks better is always the one on the right. Even if it is a flipper, stick with it. She will learn that you don't have an opinion. When she screams at you the first time, compliment her inner beauty.

    There are not software sales. As we have all learned, software is licensed. No sale, not tax. You want to tax it? Make it a sale, and let me do with it as I please.

    The only buttons you need are accelerate, shift, brake, and turn left. I see this working with a number pad only. But I am sure they will have a custom steering wheel / pedal kit available.
