  1. Re:forcing views of the hompage on Firefox Extension HTTPS Everywhere Does What It Sounds Like · · Score: 4, Informative

    Splice comes out June 4th. IMDB

  4. Re:i need an example on Please Do Not Change Your Password · · Score: 1

    I use Keepass/KeepassX (depending on the platform I am on). It has a built-in password generator with parameters you can set (length, special characters, spaces, etc...). Below is an actual password I use, generated out of Keepass.

  5. Re:Allow me to call it on Anti-Piracy Windows 7 Update Phones Home Quarterly · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Windows Annoyance Technologies.

    Or, better yet:
    The Windows Annoyance Technology

  6. Re:At least they patched it on MS Finds Security Flaw In Google Chrome Frame · · Score: 1

    I imagine 90% of your updates come from noscript. The author essentially just releases updates every few days just so that he can drive up views to his site and try to make money from it.
    I guess that's his right, but it's annoying as hell and it's basically just made me stop updating noscript.


    about:config, then search for "noscript.firstRunRedirection" and set it to false.

  7. Re:What after TPB? on Pirate Bay Buyer Chairman Resigns · · Score: 4, Informative

    I wonder what will happen if The Pirate Bay is closed down or turned into a site for legal torrents. A lot of the other torrent sites relies on the Pirate Bay tracker. What other large, public bittorrent trackers (not just .torrent mirrors) are there?

  8. Re:Total Hijack on Family's Christmas Photos Hawk Groceries In Prague · · Score: 1

    The only thing that worked for me was to Adblock this image: http://c.fsdn.com/sd/cs_sic_controls_new.png?T_2_5_0_260a

    That also blocks some other images like the friend/foe markers, but that is worth it IMHO.

  9. Re:But on Using Net Proxies Will Lead To Harsher Sentences · · Score: 1

    Not to argue with the point you are trying to make, but I have always wondered exactly just that. Is there any other use for a stereotypical ski mask other than armed robbery?

    I know this is antecdotal and your question may have been rhetorical, but I live in Wisconsin and wear a ski mask when I am clearing my driveway and sidewalks with my snowblower. It is too damn cold to be outside (most likely with blowing wind) for 35-40 minutes without a mask.

    Just my 2 cents.

  10. Re:Switching from Kindle on Amazon Uses DMCA To Restrict Ebook Purchases · · Score: 1

    I have a Sony PRS-505. I use calibre to manage it. No need to deal with any DRM at all. Calibre will format text and RTF files into the LRF format for the reader. You can also use various online converters to convert from PDF to Word and then use Word/Write to convert to RTF or plain text..

  11. Re:developer point of view on Open Source Usability — Joomla! Vs. WordPress · · Score: 1



    * Joomla! for blogging is like using a PC just for playing music.
    * Wordpress as a CMS solution is like using an iPOD for playing movies.


    p.s. I know it wasn't the best analogy, but still...


    You lost me. Could you use an analogy about cars? kthxbye!

  12. Re:Very tempted to get this on Amazon Announces Kindle 2, With Slew of New Features · · Score: 1

    I got a Sony PRS-505 for Christmas, and it is perfect (IMHO). I use Calibre to manage it, instead of the Sony Software. I charged it when I got it, have used it at least 5 days a week since then, and haven't charged it again yet. Most of my books started out life as .TXT files, before I converted them to .LRF files. It fits in my coat pocket.

    The only stickler for you would be the comic book format. It displays images in black/white only, and does not support the comic book format (.CBR/.CBZ) unless you extract them so you get the individual images.

    It supports PDF, but I'm not sure how they look as I have never read one on the device.

    Hope that helps.

  13. Re:My Reponse on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Epic's repsonse may be "Working on it"
    My response is http://gamecopyworld.com/


    The first rule of GameCopyWorld is that you don't talk about GameCopyWorld.

  14. EA sucks all around on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    I haven't given EA any of my money since the Need For Speed: Carbon fiasco. Going on 2 years old, and they haven't released a patch to fix video/audio syncing issues. No thanks EA, I'll pass.

  15. Re:blinking favicon? on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 1

    Add "*/favicon.gif" to your Adblock filter list and it'll go away.

  17. Wake me up when... on Drug Reverses Retardation In Mice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wake me up when they find a cure for severe retardedness. I'll buy enough for everyone at the office.

  18. Re:My wife's notebook is one of them on Top Botnets Control Some 1 Million Hijacked Computers · · Score: 1

    In your hosts file, point "pc-on-internet.com" to 66.35.250.150, then each time a window pops up treat it as a helpful reminder to take an ergonomic break.

    I know it was a joke, but you hit on a good thing to try: a HOSTS file that could block many of these things from getting out.

  19. Re:Current Radio Gatekeepers are Whores on Why the RIAA Really Hates Downloads · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of any good metal band with a female lead vocal? Just askin...

    I'm digging Flyleaf right now.

  20. Re:Wrong on US Broadband Policy Called "Magical Thinking" · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's sorta like being in love with a hot chick that's no good for you. She cheats, she lies, she does drugs, she does all your friends, yet, you still love her ... abuse and all.

    You must be dating my ex-wife.

  21. If She Doesn't Settle on RIAA Will Finally Face the Music In Court · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The judge has barred further motions for dismissal, so unless the RIAA decides to settle--a move Lybeck believes is in the group's best interest--the case will proceed through discovery and to trial.

    Hopefully she won't settle for the carrot that the RIAA would probably dangle in front of her. She has the opportunity to bring all these lawsuits to a screeching halt.

    Since it starts saying that the video was recovered from the site by DoD, this means that they won..
