  1. Is it just me? on New Attacks on Spam · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is it just me or half the story is one big long link??

    AttackOfTheDictionaries writes "Project Honey Pot started operating back in November. The Project provides its participants with a script that generates fake webpages with unique honeypot email addresses. The end
    result is that Project Honey Pot can connect email harvesters' IP
    addresses with the spam received by those honeypot email addresses. Which is pretty nifty, but left some people asking how that would help legal attacks on spam. Well, it seems that some lawyer over at SecurityFocus has an answer."

  2. It ain't bad...n comments on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 1

    Its been Airing on Sky One in the Uk for ages alright and its not bad, abit slow to start off but its coming into its own now I think

    Funnily enough I'm amzed half the geeks with dsl here havn;t already downloaded the episodes of various torrent sites as its extremely popular and even the makers of battlestar asked users not to do so as it'll drop rating in the USA when the shows comes out (tonight)

  3. Sad to see it crash & burn on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 1

    although I never saw the show on digital/sat as I'm in Ireland
    I have downloaded alot of eps and it was extremely sad to see the show going down hill :(
    I watched about 3-4 shows after the layoffs when Kevin was thrown to the sidelines and it just wasn't interesting anymore so I stopped watching it.
    Sad to see a good show crash and burn due to bad decisions...

  4. One problem with this.. on RIAA/MPAA Contractor Deploys Malicious Adware Trojans · · Score: 1

    WMV and WMA files are far from popular file formats for movies and eps that are shared on BT sites
    So its hardly going to cause issues for people that avoid these file formats like the plague :)

  5. Re:Why would I care? on Exeem "Successor" to Suprnova Announced · · Score: 1

    Does this mean they'll be a exeem-lite version? ;)

  6. Re:Importance... on When Do You Read the Instructions? · · Score: 1

    For software I never read instructions unless I run into problems, same goes for computer hardware
    I've more or less never needed to read instructions for TV's, VCR's, DVD Players, Microwaves etc etc
    ffs there easy operate :)

  7. old news on AOL Plans A Standalone Browser · · Score: 1

    This is very old news to be honest, the browser is shite!
    Its slow and bloated to use and Firefox kills it hands down, it used to have a advert banner removal feature but they got rid of it :(

  8. Private Trackers on BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Even here in Ireland one friend of mine got a notice from his ISP saying he was downloading from suprnova and that Universal had tracked his IP.
    So sites like suprnova are wayyyy to open and as time goes by the smart people have moved away from such sites.

    But there are private trackers as well they have.
    - Alot of people
    - Alot of content
    - Good ratios so speeds are good

    Nothing like suprnova and they are monitored carefully by the owners, so how are the MPAA/RIAA going to monitor these?

  9. Excellent on Portable Firefox and Thunderbird · · Score: 1

    I've used these in the past on a 32MB USB 1.0 flash drive, loaded slowly due to the slow USB speed but worked great other then that :)
    Must get the updated one's now,

  21. Re:TV/Computer Tax on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    Yep, was born in Ireland,
    Nobody knows how they manage to spend 152 euro on RTE & Network 2, maybe they spent last years money on the last episode of Friends or a few years ago maybe they spent it all on buying Stargate SG-1 ahead of Sky One in the UK and then driving it into the ground by airing it at 2.30am on a Monday night!!

    Monkeys could run the channels better,
    The thing is I wouldn't mind paying the 150 euro per month if RTE or Network 2 did what BBC 1/2 did and STOPPED showing adverts!

    Funny thing is even if you got rid of your TV I'm sure they'd still bring you to court just like the did to a writer for the Irish Times a few years back, 5 years he spent telling them to feck off and they wouldn't dispite the fact he had no TV.
