  1. Re:Yeah, right on German Wikileaks Domain Suspended Without Warning · · Score: 1

    How about the bishop's manual for the Mormon church? Nothing secretly evil or sacred, just procedures on how to handle things sensitive, like someone confiding in a bishop that they are being abused. Yet it is posted on there, for the sole purpose of "OOOOO, look what we got!"

  2. Re:Three options on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    I can testify of the flammability of steel wool. Don't listen when you are told to use steel wool to clean the excess paint off a power outlet. :)

  3. Re:Kill!!! on Tales From the Support Crypt · · Score: 1

    Sometimes you have to do that actually. I have done the same thing for a quite cryptic (and number heavy) BSoD.

  4. Not so sad here on Abit To Close Its Doors Forever On Dec. 31, 2008 · · Score: 1

    Personally I have had a number of Abit motherboards, and they have all failed me rather spectacularly. First the USB ports go, one by one. Then the networking, then the sound...

  5. Re:Privacy on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the analogy I was getting at is that most people already have sunglasses. They already have hardware firewalls. Most of them do not know it, but hey, that is a different matter

  6. Re:Privacy on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    Its quite laughable actually. Any moron with a hardware firewall immediately kills this idea. My $40 Linksys router will block such things by default.

  7. Re:Filters do not work on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 1

    Bah, proxies are for jocks, SSH is the geek way.

  8. Re:Not in this economy. on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    My own father actually ended up one class short of his BS in computer engineering, yet with many years working in the field he has been able to get a good job.

    A degree HELPS though, and I will be getting one myself.

  9. Re:What the fuck? on (Useful) Stupid BlackBerry Tricks? · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact I do agree that this would be a good Friday story. I never read the mailbag, I do read these threads even though I have no experience with the subject (blackberries, vim, emacs, linux, well, I will be learning linux later) they are still interesting threads to read.

  10. Re:Real Web App Limitation on "Netbooks" Move Up In Notebook Rankings · · Score: 1

    view -> fullscreen

  11. Re:Weren't mods available before? on Steam To Begin Hosting Game Mods · · Score: 1

    You had to download them from someone else before, now you can download them through valve themselves.

  12. Re:so much for notorius on Interview With an EVE Pirate · · Score: 1

    Well I have, and I haven't played EVE for 2 years.

    You must just live in 1.0 :P

  13. Re:In other words: on BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2 · · Score: 1

    That was not named IV until I happened.

  14. Re:In other words: on BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2 · · Score: 1

    You would? I am honored :D

  15. Re:Surprised? on BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2 · · Score: 1

    I am also not surprised. It does not take much praise to make a sequel, and Bioshock won several GOTY awards.

    Personally though, I though the game's story was rubbish.

  16. In other words: on BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2 · · Score: 1

    Has there ever been a skipped number in a series of games? If there is going to be a 3, there is going to be a 2.

    Prove me wrong.

  17. Sorry... on Object Defies Categorization As Planet or Star · · Score: 1, Funny

    My bathroom broke on an interstellar sight-seeing trip and I had to go real bad...

  18. Re:Helpful Slashdot! on Explosion At ThePlanet Datacenter Drops 9,000 Servers · · Score: 1

    Db/. (Death by Slashdotting) strikes again.

  19. Re:Late Breaking News.... on MediaDefender's BitTorrent-Based DOS Takes Down Revision3 · · Score: 1

    Shoot, I need to log in when I post stuff.

  20. Oh well... on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    I guess EA will continue to not get my money. I was planning on buying spore. Not now.

  21. Re:Great- no more format war! on Blu-ray Player Prices Hit 2008 Highs · · Score: 1

    I do agree. Though having to get 2 players so you could watch everything is still more expensive.

  22. Uhm, lol. on RoadRunner Intercepting Domain Typos · · Score: 1

    I just switched from Road Runner to AT&T's DSL two days ago :D

  23. Free WiFi is not so new... on The Starbucks/AT&T Deal To Change Perception of Public Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    My local public library offers public WiFi. Anyone can just walk in and use it.

  24. Re:But... on US Consumers Clueless About Online Tracking · · Score: 1

    No, that makes it so everyone BUT you can get that information.

  25. Re:Um.. on Bypass Windows With Fast-Boot Technology · · Score: 1

    Because it is funny, not informative.
