  1. Re:Nope. It works now. on China Hijacks Popular BitTorrent Sites · · Score: 1

    Cool, but it was only people in the Beijing area that were affected.

  2. Re:nothing to see here, move along! on Comparison of Windows XP and Linux/Sugar On the OLPC XO · · Score: 1

    Agreed. TFA bitches about navigating to the Sound Recorder application. That's a little pathetic. It can be dragged to the desktop as a shortcut.

  3. Possible to crack? on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It'd be interesting to know the length and characters involved in the passwords. And if it would have been possible to brute force them (within reasonable time)or use rainbow tables. I'm guessing maybe not.

  4. Re:Irish Examiner, ha! on Dublin Air Traffic Control Brought Down By Faulty NIC · · Score: 1

    Indeed. A well-balanced Cork man has a chip on both shoulders.

  5. Re:hah i've been to durango on How To Clean Up Incorrect Geolocation Information? · · Score: 1

    It's empty, right? :D

  6. Re:From memories past on Bone-Headed IT Mistakes · · Score: 1

    The last place I worked had a server room with a real mess of monitors, KVM switches and servers on tables. After an hour-long conversation with my boss about plans for our backup database server (move it to another domain as backup file, print, DNS server, change RAID config etc), I went down to the basement and started rebuilding the server labelled SQLBKP; stopped the services, took it out of the domain, shut it down and was removing the first disk when my boss burst in the door. Apparently it was the production server. The KVM was labeled wrong. Ouch.

  7. Re:Wha? on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 5, Informative

    Elitist? Demonoid is one of the most community-friendly trackers there is. Invites are plentiful and anyone can upload. The information there _is_ free. As a side note, the tracker has been up for months now, but the website was down.

  8. Re:Why would they hesitate? on Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Others Fined Over Digital TV Notices · · Score: 1

    I agree with you about the poor syntax, but they're breaking the law by not putting them up. Supermarkets (in my experience) are not choosy about spelling or grammar on their displays. Also, it's 'bureaucratic', not 'beureaucratic'.
