  1. Nope on Abusing HTTP Status Codes To Expose Private Info · · Score: 1

    This doesn't work at all. I'm logged into Gmail and Facebook, neither of which it detected.

  2. Microsoft charges more and more, yet... on Dell Indicates Windows 7 Pricing Will Be Higher · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Linux remains free.

  3. Remember, on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    it's not the size that counts -- it's what you do with it.

  4. Re:Kills Twilight Hack, Temporarially on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, I of course read that too, but previously Nintendo has killed off the Twilight Hack, and look how long it still survived. I wouldn't say it's permanently dead, but yeah, it's a possibility.

    It doesn't kill the HBC, you're right, but I think it's better to be safe and keep the TP Hack option open, just in case something goes wrong.

  5. Re:Kills Twilight Hack, Temporarially on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, homebrew piracy tools are available, but you do have to go looking for them. Homebrew certainly doesn't imply piracy but in some senses, it enables it.

  6. Re:Kills Twilight Hack, Temporarially on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Homebrew is not piracy. I paid for my Wii, and I'm damned well going to run the things that I want to run on it.

  7. Kills Twilight Hack, Temporarially on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Uh, you shouldn't be encouraging people to downgrade to this version.

  8. Trident != IE on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Uh, I think you meant the Trident engine, not IE.

  9. That's because... on New York Wants To Tax Internet Downloads · · Score: 1

    ...our governor is an idiot. He wants to tax almost everything, except diet soda (although he is taxing gym membership and recreational sports like skiing).

  10. And yet... on Drug Giant Pledges Cheap Medicine For World's Poor · · Score: 1

    they will still be making a profit.

  11. Re:Blu-Ray? on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can just grab the base CD, and install the basics. You can choose to install from the internet anyway, and it's great if you need to install it on a machine that only has access to a wireless network. After you install the base system you can boot into it and select whatever you want, from whatever repos you want, of course.

  12. Boring name is boring on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    $ uname -n
    lappy

    Sorry, I'm not creative at all.

  13. Re:Since Wii has a Web browser. on Apple IIe Emulator Released For the Wii · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone in their right mind use IE? Certainly Nintendo wouldn't stoop that low.

    At any rate, that site doesn't even work on Linux, so I can't imagine why it would run on the Wii.

  14. Misleading Title is Misleading on MPC Computers Shutting Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't scare me! What with all the Zunes freezing, you can't be too careful nowadays... the last thing I need is trusty ol' MPC to crash!

  15. These guys... on Banned Words List Carries Its First Emoticon · · Score: 1

    they must be mavericks for banning all those words. That's the change our language needs.

  16. Re:make -j 3 on Not All Cores Are Created Equal · · Score: 1

    Try Debian. I don't use packages for everything, you know.

  17. Re:make -j 3 on Not All Cores Are Created Equal · · Score: 1

    The point of using this is so that you can compile multiple files at once. Obviously it can't impact how the application performs because that would require modification of the source code, and the compiler doesn't magically optimize it to work with multiple cores.

  18. make -j 3 on Not All Cores Are Created Equal · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Works fine for me.

  19. Except... on RIAA To Stop Prosecuting Individual File Sharers · · Score: 1, Redundant

    ...file-sharing isn't illegal.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish torrenting a Debian DVD.

  20. ButterFS? on Plethora of New User Space Filesystems For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    btrfs? I think not!

  21. Quiet Before The Storm on Network Neutrality Defenders Quietly Backing Off? · · Score: 1

    See title.

  22. The mouse isn't going to die. on The Age of Touch Computing · · Score: 1

    The mouse will almost certainly evolve, but I have a difficult time imagining that it will die. I certainly won't be shelling out big bucks for a touch-screen, nor are inexpensive homemade ones really much to brag about. I know I won't be holding my hand up to press tiny buttons for the rest of my life.

  23. Re:lol on Russian Hopes To Cash In On Emoticons · · Score: 1

    I'd trademark the letters and patent the act of "laughing out loud."

  24. lol on Russian Hopes To Cash In On Emoticons · · Score: 1

    I should patent "lol". I'd be rich from the 13-year-olds alone!

  25. Waste of money. on Nintendo To Start Publishing Ebooks On the DS · · Score: 1

    I already have an e-reader on my DS. And I don't have to pay $30 to read public-domain books.
