  1. Re:one funny side-effect on Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband · · Score: 1

    Hey! Why does the word "guillotine" jump into my head?

  2. Re:Wrong answer to the wrong problem on Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband · · Score: 1

    One can always order it from amazon.co.uk for the cheaper price. Delivery within Europa is the same as to UK (if I remember it right)....

  3. This will probably teach people to use encryption on Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sofar people didn't have any big preasure to do so. I know, there are a lot of lazy people around, who just think: I don't care what happens to my computer. But I know enough people who do download and who wouldn't want to miss it.

    So, how long does it take untill people run their download software in a virtual machine, completely seperated from the rest of the operating system, on a hiden true crypt partition and store the music/movies in the same way. And communication only over encrypted channels. Of course it has performance issues, but the computers are fast enough (and get faster).

    And then let them cut of the internet? I would always defend myself and claim: false positive! And go public of course!

    If you download Britney Spears ... you are already punished enough by what you get! No need to disconnect here...

  5. Re:my $0.02 on How To Convince My Boss Not To Spam? · · Score: 1

    /./ is not your personal army! Dough!
  6. How long will it take... on Virgin Media To Spy On & Threaten Downloaders · · Score: 1

    How long will it take till they realize that they will lose their own custommers by this? And with this money.

    And in case storries come up with false accusations made by Virgin Media ... it will get even more fun to see how custommers drop of to other ISP's. :-)

  7. Re:Germany! on Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits · · Score: 1

    If they haven't done such graphical obfuscation I give it a matter of days before it becomes clear which carrier it is. They have not done anything nasty like this. Try to match image 1a with google maps (using some program like PS, Gimp etc.). It works surprisingly well. :-)

  8. Re:Germany! on Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits · · Score: 1

    Image 1a is not inside city. Have you ever seen a city of the scale 700km times 700km?

  9. Re:Germany! on Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits · · Score: 1

    The graphics 1a comes with a scale telling how long 100km. Thus you can scale the map until it its scale fits the scale of a map you want to compare with. Then try to place it over Eurpoa so that none of the people gets their feet wet. And also places with activity should match bigger cities if possible. There are not so many possibilities.

  10. Re:Germany! on Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits · · Score: 5, Interesting

    T Mobile? I would not be surprised.

    The country is definitely Germany. You can get the publication in question from the authors homepage Then take figure 1a (as suggested in hweimer's blog) and lay it over some google map, appropriately scaled.

    The data is definitely centered around Germany, but tracks reach to Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Cech Republic...

  11. Re:of course on China's Cyber-Militia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The computers which control the plant should be physically separated from the computers which are needed/wanted for connection with the internet. Otherwise you are begging for disasters.

  12. Huh!? on China's Cyber-Militia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are vital parts of power plants connected to The Internet? Why?

  13. Re:Oh jeez on Samba Hit By 'Highly Critical' Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    The usual 127.0.0.1. What did you think?

  14. The frist blue wale on Life-Size Photo of a Blue Whale · · Score: 1

    which got /.-ed...

  15. Why did he pic the letter up? on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 1

    If I would get a letter with not enough postage paid I would not pick it up (except I know it came from a friend and I was expecting it). They could send it again with the proper postage and from then they could count the days...

  16. In Other Words on Ballmer Calls Vista 'A Work In Progress' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is a failure. Why not just name the child by its real name?

  17. I can imagine on MS Clearflow To Help Drivers Avoid Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    I imagine the following message: "Traffic jam reported. Please press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot device!"

    And also the slogan "where do you want to go to day" gets a very new meaning ;-)

  18. 2 words? on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 1

    That is one letter and one word. Or 6 letters and a space... ;-)

  19. Democracy on The Cost of Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Electronic voting is black box voting and it will cost us our democracy. This claim might sound too simple, but in my opinion it is true. Electronic voting is not auditable by the public and without this it is worthless.

  20. haha on Hacker Club Publishes German Official's Fingerprint · · Score: 1, Informative

    Come on guys, where is the "haha" tag?

  21. If I wouldn't have already enough reasons... on Why Your e-Books Are No Longer Yours · · Score: 1

    If I wouldn't have already enough reasons to not obtain any kind of e-book reader, this is just another one. After all, there is nothing more sexy than an own library where you visualy can see the content! :-)

  22. Re:I'll know it when I see it on Blu-ray BD+ Cracked · · Score: 1

    We install linux just to get Emacs running and then we can run anyting on a BD player, heck, then it even would have a psychologist there ;-)

  23. Internet Explorer 8 could not be benchmarked... on Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera · · Score: 1

    "Internet Explorer 8 could not be benchmarked because they crashed during the test." ... don't say it was an "out of memory" crash?? ;-)

  24. The logical next step... on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 1

    ...is to call the United Kingdom what it is: a police state!

  25. Re:I predict a new business coming on UK's MI5 Wants Oyster Card Travel Data · · Score: 1

    The government is not interested in learning. Where did you get that idea from??
