  1. why? on Protecting Clients: Legal Impact of Filesharing Network Design · · Score: 2, Interesting

    go to so much trouble to hide illegal activity that you believe is right? Instead of thinking of new ways to circumvent copy protection and sharing, how about lobbying your congressman to get the laws changed? They are after all servants to the people they represent.

  2. yeah on Quake 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    its called Q1. That game will give anyone nightmares. Get Reznor back on music and sound effects. Nothing beats Q1 for atmosphere and ambience.

  3. nice on Court Decision Favors Rambus · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you're a programmer. I'm not. Neither is joe sixpack. Get my point?

  4. well duh! on Rise Of The 15-Year Olds, Part II · · Score: 1

    what company is going to hire a fresh 16 year old for anything other than grunt work? start at the bottom and work up. this is the real world kid.

  5. encrypted for a reason on Wireless LAN Encryption Standard Broken · · Score: 1

    Ummm I think the whole point is that its encrypted for a reason. You'd be pretty pissed if you found someone tapping you phone line, after all it runs right in front of your house out in the open.

  6. like renting a video on This Book Will Self-Destruct In 10 Hours · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You go to the store and pay $3 to rent a tape/dvd. Now you claim you bought the item and are allowed to keep it? This is no different except that its purely in electronic form.

  7. oh like VQF? on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of VQF? Its been out for a few years now and developed by Yamaha. The quality is MUCH better than mp3 and the files are 30% the size of the same quality mp3. Has anyone ever seen a .vqf file floating around? Nope. Never. I use it for archiving large wav files and the ability to encode live from the soundcard is great. I don't expect ogg to make a dent outside of the linux fundies area.

  8. *sigh* on Final Fantasy Movie Interview · · Score: 1

    fill rate =! performance

  9. they look fake as hell on Universal Manipulator Does Chess · · Score: 1

    Watch the chips when they get right to the edge *poof* they vanish. Not a single chip falls and lands outside the table border. I watched both the realvideo and mpeg versions. Someone knows adobe premiere well.

  10. you can bet on Final Fantasy Movie Interview · · Score: 1

    Any artist doing 2d stills will want an SGI box. theres just no comparison. Watch some "Making of...." specials and see what all the artists use.

  11. nope on Update on the Kite-Obelisk Project · · Score: 1

    Best they could do is copper and bronze. I wouldn't trust a piece of copper to hold a several ton rock.

  12. it wasn't that bad on Sequel to TRON Coming Down the Wire · · Score: 1

    Who else could have played Jed better than Jim Varney? Didn't you see the playboy issue with Elly May :)

  13. arin lookups on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    Do some lookups on whois.arin.net and you'll see tons of class A blocks which are just reserved. Start at 1.x.x.x and keep going. Looks like the only people really using them is bbnplanet who owns 4.x.x.x. I bet theres at least 10 class A blocks that are just used for squatting. Start assinging these.

  14. stop right there on DMCA Worldwide: Canada, New Zealand, USA · · Score: 2

    "98 per cent of which is controlled by less than 1 per cent of our population."

    Redistribution of the wealth eh? At least the US can give anyone the chance to start a company or win the lottery or get rich somehow. It makes perfect sense to take money away from rich people and give it to the poor.

    Say you worked all your life to make a very successful business, now you find out the government wants to steal 50% of YOUR income and give it to people who refuse to work. Hmmm decisions decesions. Work hard and get money or sit on my ass and get money. Which would you pick?

  15. right on Microsoft Releases Windows CE 3.0 Source · · Score: 1

    its all a huge conspiracy. like they really care who looks at it and from what ip. they could just as easily get your ip and the exact date and call your isp and get the info. so whats the big deal?

  16. proof on New Mexico Drops out of Microsoft Case · · Score: 1

    Please supply some proof as to your statement of Microsoft paying off the state of New Mexico.

  17. ident on EFNet on the Rocks Again · · Score: 1

    whats the fucking point? its useless and easily fooled.

  18. lets start off with.... on Microsoft Delays New Licensing Terms · · Score: 1

    Installing software. Until you are at the point when a user can click the install icon, have it install flawlessly, make shortcuts and additions to the window manager. Hmmm are they using gnome, kde, blackbox, fvwm, twm? See the little problems we run into?

  19. examples please on Microsoft Delays New Licensing Terms · · Score: 1

    Show me some facts that linux is 'kicking Microsoft's ass' in the server and embedded market. Just because apache has like 60% market share doesn't mean they all run linux. Even apache.org develops with and uses FreeBSD. Show me a product thats sitting in stores now running embedded linux.

  20. me on Linux Kernel 2.4.6 Released · · Score: 1

    My desktop is mostly nt4 with the occasional boot into win2k. My firewall on the cable modem is running OpenBSD on a sparc2 and my IBM Thinkpad 390x runs NetBSD 1.5. Totally linux free.

  21. I kind of like the end on Review: A.I. · · Score: 1

    It was strange and quite interesting to see new york city under a frozen ocean, although the aliens or super robots or whatever could have been better done. They reminded me of the ones in close encounters.

  22. Re:Why does everyone use Sorensen!? on Slashback: Shooters, Ire, Boldness · · Score: 1

    Because files can be very high quality and small in size. We can't all go back to 1994 and use cinepak right? Hmmm download a 10 meg sorenson or 40 meg mpeg. No big decision there.

  23. don't like it? on Caldera Per Seat Licensing · · Score: 1

    then don't buy it. shut the fuck up. end of story. its all about freedom of choice right?

  24. Carroll O'Connor dead at 76 on Another Look at Life On The Jovian moons · · Score: 1

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,27849,00.html

    Lets all have a moment of silence for a great actor.

    Thank you.

  25. rofl! on NetBSD Ported to AMD x86-64 (Sledgehammer) · · Score: 1

    Just imagine if the headline read "Linux ported to next gen cpu..." every singe post would say something like yay linux. But BSD is ported and people ask why. Porting the OS means you can learn a lot about the new architecture.
