  1. Re:I second the mention of ClamWin on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 1

    Some virus are decrypted (not just packed) and only get encrypted in memory, thereby bypassing on-demand scan. While most antivirus includes unpacker for most popular packers, they usually fail to unpack files that has been packed with custom packers.

  2. Re:I second the mention of ClamWin on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 1

    Realtime scan is needed because on demands scan is not enough. Some virus are packed/compressed inside some exe files and get unpacked in memory when that exe file runs, this is when realtime scan catches it, while on-demand scan will fail

  3. Re:Flash sucks. on Microsoft Accepts Flash For Windows Mobile · · Score: 2

    I have an iPhone. I'm *GLAD* it doesnt support flash. Flash is used:

    1. For entertainment/cartoons videos. Not terribly important to me.
    2. To overcomplicate access to various types of media (mainly so its harder to directly download the media, which makes it
    impossible to save it an play it offline)
    3. By incompetent "webmasterz" to make websites hard to use and look like shit, preventing any possibility of changing the font
    sizes or colors (becuase they are always incredibly tiny and fuzzy, and in horridly hard to read garish colors), or to copy/paste the text, and to make all the forms and controls as slow and as bloated as possible.

    Apple fans are quick to point out how they love it that their iphones don't support flash, because flash are mainly used for useless ads by stupid web developers.., etc.
    How about apple website? They've used plenty to flash-based ads on their pages.
  4. Re:Research Methods on The Impatience of the Google Generation · · Score: 1

    Most of my college friends just use google and the internet to pligarize (sp?) shit, than fake their references to books and other academic journals. Usually they get away with good grades because most of the professors are too lazy to cross check references OR are computer illiterates.

    Gravity is not an energy. It is a force.

  6. Re:Simple solution: on Chinese Sub Pops Up Amid US Navy Exercise · · Score: 1

    Because if internation trade switches to using other currency, all the US dollars held by foreign countries would flow back into the US and cause rapid inflation.

    But since international trade is made in US$, the US can simply print money and buy foreign goods, something other countries can't do without causing inflation.

  7. Re:Not a trojan on Trojan Found In New HDs Sold In Taiwan · · Score: 1

    What if i have access to someone's hard disk and install a trojan on it, by your definition it wouldn't be called a trojan, would it?

    "There are more bacteria than human cells in the typical body." I too was wondering what exactly does that mean.

    So you won't care if people read you email?

    Next time, don't complain about the government not respecting your privacy.

  11. Denying on AMD NDA Scandal · · Score: 1

    Why do AMD have to deny that the event happened?

    Oops sorry, forgot about the formatting.....hope you can makes sense out of it.

  13. OS? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    It will be easier for us to list the apps if you tell us what is your main OS. I assume Windows. Here's some that I use: -Media player classic -VLC -Opera -TreeSize -Auslogics Disk Defrag -HashTab Shell Extension (very handy when comparing file hashes) -Foxit PDF reader ..The rest of the software I use are bloated (by your standard and i don't care much since i have gigs of ram)

  14. Re:I smell something... on Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License · · Score: 5, Informative

    Even if the police officer found something, the exact same lawsuit could exist, as anything found would be inadmissible (IANAL) due it being found in the illegal search. Yes, it's called fruit of the poisonous tree
  15. Nerds on Why Are So Many Nerds Libertarians? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because we nerds are the more knowledgeable bunch and don't like to be told what to do. We want to do things our way, and hence we tend to lean toward the libetarian view.

    Yes, i can confirm this. Aliens always aim for the Statue of Liberty in New York first.

    Opera??? Oh please...there's right click --> block content, out of the box.

  18. Re:TFA Interesting on See Who Is Whitewashing Wikipedia · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You really cannot take any of the IP's on this list and directly connect it to anyone at any company or organization, any more than the RIAA can take an IP of an alleged music pirate and say they individually are the ones that did it. True, but if the IP belongs to a certain company and the message edited serves the interest of that particular company, I can safely assume that it's the doing of that company.
  19. article on Thai Students Score a Prize For Speech Software · · Score: 3, Informative

    I can't find anywhere in the article mentioning about the Thai students.....

  20. Opera on The Java Popup you Can't Stop · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Nice find by the author.

    btw, in Opera, in preference --> javascript option, I always have these 3 options unticked: "Allow resizing of windows", "Allow moving of windows", and "Allow script to hide address". So, the exploit the author mentioned doesn't work.

    Atlast we have a discussion about "marriage" on slashdot.

  22. Re:Look on the bright side... on No iPhone For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    I just have one question: "Why do they have to delete his post from the forum?" Very lame I must say. No matter how evil most people think microsoft are, I've never seen them deleting people's post from their support forum.
