  1. Re:So Cool... on Voyager Probes Give Us ET's View · · Score: 0

    And you posted that half an hour after he corrected himself ....

  2. Re:No email integration on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You miss the point: Wave should include email functionality so that people have a "one stop shop" not waves should be forwarded to email to read.

  3. Re:please... on Unclean Military Hard Drives Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    Since "drive recovery" seems to show just companies who deal with deleted data or disks which have had a mechanical failure, do you think you could post a direct link to a company that can recover data from a disk that was deliberately and completely overwritten rather than a pithy comment?

  4. Re:please... on Unclean Military Hard Drives Sold On eBay · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is possible that the people most likely to have the resources and expertise to do this (i.e. govt. security depts.) don't want to announce that they have this capability ...

  5. Seems to be full of old stuff with known bugs? on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    A version of KDE that no longer gets any love from upstream; old Firefox, old Thunderbird. Hopefully there are security updates for the latter two and that someone is giving some TLC to the former.

  6. Re:Flawed premise on Reflections On the Less-Cool Effects of Filesharing · · Score: 1

    I bet the major labels would have gone out of business by now if it wasn't for downloading
    How naive can you be?

  7. Re:First they came for the file sharers on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there - you tried to confuse legal acts with illegal ones.

    3/10 - must try harder.

  8. Re:Is there possibly anything we can do? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    Boycott? What, by not paying? Oh dear ....

  9. Re:The questions that come to mind on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    Their potential customer base? The people who don't want to pay in the first place? Don't make me laugh!

    If you really want to send a message, don't use their product. Anything else means they must be doing things right.

  10. Re:The rise of redirect links on Facebook Cuts Off Pirate Bay Links · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that because most people are idiots, these links will be able to be spotted automatically. You can't make it too difficult for humans that fail the Turing test ....

  11. Re:null or not null, that is the question on Null References, the Billion Dollar Mistake · · Score: 1

    Rubbish.

    The C standard states that "!E" is the same as "E == 0" and that 0 is the null pointer constant. There is nothing "more" correct about what you are claiming.

  12. Re:Exchange Rates? on Breaking Down the Dropping Parts Cost for Sony's PS3 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The semiconductor industry is in dollars so the foundry price of the chips will be in dollars.

  13. Re:What's in a name... on Intel Developers Demo USB 3.0 Throughput On Linux · · Score: 1

    You clearly didn't RTFA - otherwise you'd have noticed that the transfer rates already obtained exceed those of gigabit ethernet.

  14. Re:No 64-bit on Linux Now an Equal Flash Player · · Score: 1

    They can claim all they want, the fact they haven't done it does nothing to invalidate the OP's comments.

  15. Re:A string of meaningless words!! on Microsoft's Ethical Guidelines · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Strange definition of "works just fine" - works fine but not everything works. "Works just about" would have been better.

  16. Re:Upgrading "to an all-IP core" on No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    How did you register your interest? I, too, am a Zen customer and wouldn't mind adding to this request.

  17. Re:what the hell? on Mayor Orders Mandatory Evacuation of New Orleans · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not even close to being the largest port: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_busiest_port_by_cargo_tonnage

  18. Re:Plain text password necessary? on Changing Customers Password Without Consent · · Score: 1

    That is a stupid suggestion. The salt is derivable so you only need to go through the valid password characters. Easy!

  19. Re:Through them out on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 1

    No, he meant "Through them, out!"

    To what end?

  25. Re:Guess I was wrong about him on Prince, Village People to Sue The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    What happens to an artist who only wants to make a record: who pays for that "performance" and how much? Are you suggesting that only live performance are worthy enough to get paid for?
