  1. Re:1:10?!? on The Pirate Bay Tops 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    You must be used to private trackers. On public trackers, anything goes.

    The upside with public trackers is that you generally get a lot more visitors, which translates into a lot more content, and cash to the creators of the website via ads.

  2. IP on E.U. Regulator Says IP Addresses Are Personal Data · · Score: 0

    Based on this conclusion, an IP == IP (Intellectual Property), then?

  3. Re:Good Software Takes Ten Years to Write on Mozilla Celebrates Its 10th Birthday · · Score: 1

    Somebody clearly hasn't tried/heard about Firefox 3. Slow? Bloated? Not at all. I'd say it's faster then any other browser at this point.

    No.

    Yeah, all they have to do is fuck themselves up pretty badly :-)

    Spontaneously, at will.

    Do I even need to explain why this is funny?

  7. Re:The real questions are... on ZFS For Mac OS X Source Code Available · · Score: 1

    As long as we're omitting actual installation, setting up a RAID array in Linux is also a single line operation.

    This would make hda1 and hdb1 into a RAID1 array: "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1"

  8. Re:The real questions are... on ZFS For Mac OS X Source Code Available · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "It's *very* easy to set up btw, much easier than setting up a RAID in Linux. "

    I doubt that. Setting up a RAID array in Linux is about 4-5 lines in the CLI.

  9. Re:Add HD and I'm there on Netflix To Lift Streaming Limits · · Score: 1

    All the movies are 3-4 dollars because that's in their contract with the movie studios. They *can't* offer them for a lower price. If they did, they'd be in breach of contract.

    If there was a price drop at all, *everybody* who sells those movies would also get the price drop.

    Love the Idiocracy reference. ;-)

  11. Re:Vegata on Upgraded Hubble To Be 90 Times As Powerful · · Score: 1

    Technically, the resolution is going to remain unchanged, it's the sensitivity that's being increased.

  12. Re:search engine issues? on MS To Push Silverlight Via Redesigned Microsoft.com · · Score: 1

    Until? There aren't even any major web crawlers the index flash websites *now*. I'd say Silverlight support is even less likely.

  13. Farmer on Use of Asphalt Paved Surfaces For Solar Heat · · Score: 1

    I don't have the story on hand, but I'll try to summarize as best I can:

    There's this farmer out in the middle of nowhere, and one day the government decides they need to run a high way through his farm. They make a proposition to buy the needed land (not the entire farm, mind you), and he says okay, under one condition: That he be able to run pipes under the high way, and do whatever he wants with them. The government, not sure of his intentions, but thinking there's not much harm in it, says okay.

    What the farmer did, was run pipes from under the highway, right into his house, keeping it heated for free all year.

    AFAIK, it's true.

  14. Re:Why not Nokia N800/810? on Archos 605 WiFi Hacked · · Score: 1

    The Archos 605 is mainly a video player. Videos are big, and require a good screen for viewing pleasure. The Nokia N800/10 has neither: a 16 bit (65k colors) screen, with 128MB-2GB of disk space. The Archos, however, has a 16 million color display, and 30 GB of disk space.

  15. Re:Worked for me. on Future AMD GPUs To Be More 'Open-Source Friendly' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Nvidia cards are supported just fine under Linux. Just because they aren't supported how you like, doesn't mean they aren't supported. Not that I wouldn't like it if they opened up their specifications, though.

  16. Wait... on Necessity of Dark Energy Questioned · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought the answer was 42.

    Nonsense. Girls don't exist on the internet.

  18. Re:Longevity of NAND flash on Top Solid State Disks and TB Drives Reviewed · · Score: 1

    If you have two identical flash drives, writing identical data, isn't it conceivable that they would fail at similar, if not identical times?

    I don't think I'd trust RAID1 in this case. Maybe RAID5? Or maybe a main drive, with another slightly larger drive in RAID1.

  19. Re:Yeah, but we want that on Iran Builds Supercomputer From Banned AMD Parts · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. It seems this nuke needs to go 65535 meters to reach its target. So that's what, about 100,000 meters, right?

  20. Re:Actually on New Seagate Drives Have Real Difficulties With Linux · · Score: 1, Informative

    Hint: RTFA (I know, this is /.); they misspelled Open Source as Open Sauce.

  21. Actually on New Seagate Drives Have Real Difficulties With Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, it's only incompatible with Open Sauce operating systems, so Linux should be fine.

  22. No energy is free on New Wave Power Research Rising Off Oregon Coast · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's no such thing as free energy. What I wonder, is what this is affecting in the long run, and by how much.
