  1. Re:This is how we do it.. Shredder! on The 'Three Ton' Hard Drive Destroyer · · Score: 1

    There are clearly a lot of scraps left much bigger than a dime in that video.

  2. Re:I Don't Understand This Legacy on FBI Releases File On the Anarchist Cookbook · · Score: 1

    It simply blew my mind that someone could be arrested for possession of this book because after all the notoriety it's really not that useful.

    I think you know why the gov't wants to lend the book notoriety

    This book exhibits somewhat of an active imagination in causing trouble ... oftentimes this trouble is easily traced back to you no matter how well the book tries to convince the reader you're being super careful and are virtually untraceable.

    Dumb criminals are dumb. And easy to catch.

    The exploit is patched, Apple is just sitting on the release for some reason.

  5. Re:obligatory .... on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    Yeah, +1.

    Been running W7 Ultimate build 2600 for a few months now and I have to say I love it. They have some work to do on UAC to catch up with *nix, but aside from that it's the best version of Windose I've ever used...

    Actually, that's not what was said at all...

    Is the man faultless? Absolutely NOT!

  7. Re:Also why are they doing it? on Wii Update 4.2 Tries (and Fails) To Block Homebrew · · Score: 1

    It's also a "problem" that PC games or even Nintendo DS games never had to deal with. There's no region locking on either platform.

    Back when Quake II was released I had a copy that clearly stated on the disc "For sale ONLY in Australia". I literally had to change my timezone to install it. Please check your facts.

  8. Ho-kay, so... on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 1

    Here is an animation... chillin (Flash warning!). Damn, that is a sweet animation on the end of the world, you might say!

  9. As far as geeky wedding bands go... on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 1

    I'd go with TMBG. They are one of the geekiest any-kind-of-bands ever.

  10. Re:Don't forget... on First US Offshore Wind Power Park In Delaware · · Score: 1

    Uh... RehobOth IS in DE, and doesn't suck. In fact, Lewes (that's pronounced Louis) and Rehoboth are the only two good towns in the state. Oh, and I guess Milton, since the DFH brewery is there.

  11. More like 200m... on Computer Scientists Scour Your Holiday Photos · · Score: 1

    They have dueling Starbucks on some street corners... now you have to guess which one it is!

    I'm so sick of this over-used statistic!

  16. my favorite from the random list: on P2P Fans Pound Comcast In FCC Comments · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Comcast's forgery of packets, which was applied without regard to system utilization,was targeted to specific applications, wasn't disclosed, and altered customer communications, isn't acceptable under any circumstance.

    If an internet service provider restricts bandwidth, even during peak usage, to specific applications or even to usage in general, in such a way that a consumer's bandwidth falls below FCC's definition of broadband, then the provider's service offering can no longer be considered broadband. If you choose not to take steps to put an end to the forgery employed by Comcast, or restrict forms of network management that limit transmission speed to something beneath broadband levels, then you must remove their service from your reports on broadband coverage, because at that point, their service can't be considered broadband.

    ...that the summary includes the word "petaflop", which is completely wrong.

    Should be "petaFLOPS" or similar. The "S" is important, otherwise the unit of measure is a mystery. Could be minutes, hours, days...
