    TC if you want the alternative shell also, TC LE if you just want the console wrapper. I've got it set up with TCC, CMD, Python 2.5, 2.6, 3k, PowerShell, and msys/mingw bash; everything works.

    One word: hibernation.

  3. Re:What's the Difference Between a Computer Salesm on Bad PC Sales Staff Exposed · · Score: 1

    Umm, you're not much better. A "switching power supply" does not mean one that works on 120 or 220. This is what "switching power supply" means.

    Multiple sessions when attached to a domain didn't show up until Vista.

  5. Re:apple - the most anti-open company on USB-IF Slaps Palm In iTunes Spat · · Score: 1

    Really? So the Apple email program (whatever it's called) is tested with every single mail server? And they test Safari with every web and ftp server? They both refuse to work with any one that is unrecognized?

    Well, that depends on whether or not Jobs is still around to maintain the Reality Distortion Field.

    It's worse than that. It's 90% of those that are submitted and successfully traced.

    And just about 20 years ago, in HS Physics class, we played with liquid Nitrogen and hammered a rubber nail into a board with a Mercury hammer.

    Also, why the hell isn't <sub> allowed html?

    Yes. They're called "college campuses."

    That's what these are for.

    Then there's taping it to your skin under a band-aid or nic/nitro/etc. patch.

    Or the pill bottle attached to your keys (though that might be searched).

  14. Re:Self-incrimination becoming mandatory on In UK, Two Convicted of Refusing To Decrypt Data · · Score: 1

    Yes, but does Alice go to jail for 5 years if she lost the keys? No, because they can just drill the lock. Why should the difficulty of breaking the lock affect your sentence? Suppose they find a key on you, and you refuse to tell what it goes to, or claim to have "forgotten" where the matching lock is? Do you go to jail for 5 years for that too?

    Please provide the password for the encrypted volumes "/dev/random" and "/dev/urandom" immediately!

  16. Re:Handbrake, damnit. on Judge Rules Against RealDVD · · Score: 1

    Without libdvdcss, Handbrake will still do anything it will do with it, as long as the source is unencrypted. The fact that Hollywood doesn't sell any unencrypted DVDs is irrelevant. Every DVD writer comes with software to make them. I would think that's all that is needed to show non-infringing use.

  17. Re:Finally a tablet at a reasonable price. on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    Well, there's some markup because they sell fewer of them, but it's not like adding touch sensing to the screen is free.

    It's free (as in beer), but only if you drink it at home. Commercial licenses are 14.90 Euros.

  19. Re:Have you read this? on Pandora Stabilizes, No Longer Completely Free · · Score: 1

    Don't you get it? When it suits the media companies, it's a physical object, and when it suits them otherwise, it's a license. If I lose one CD out of a box set, it's "too bad, so sad, here's another set for $99, no, you can't legally copy it from anyone. License? What license? We sold you some CDs, there's no license." Yet if I play it at work and a customer can hear it, suddenly I need a "license" for a "public performance?" I'm not "performing" anything, I'm listening to my damn CDs, too bad if someone else can hear them. If it's an object, then I should be able to do anything I want with it, except make and distribute copies.

  20. Re:UPSs cause more failures than they prevent! on Data Center Power Failures Mount · · Score: 1

    That's because you keep buying the cheap "Back-UPS" home computer crap to run servers on. I'm using a 15-year-old Smart-UPS 600. I've replaced the batteries once. When the original set wore out, it didn't refuse to power up, it complained about the batteries with das blinkenlights and the warning beeper until they were replaced.

    You can keep the Live Bookmark in Firefox? Every time I try to do that I get banned from the RSS feed.
