  1. Re:The easy solution on Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention how much better /dev/zero sounds in comparison to Metallica :)

  2. Re:They need to make better CDs on RIAA Sues Audiogalaxy · · Score: 1

    ... Perhaps you just shold concider listening to less [known|mainstream|greedy] artists which doesn't fill upp their records with junk.

  3. A little trick on Can FAQs Be Copyrighted? · · Score: 1

    Ok, so if you want to ignore the copyrigt on something just use my litte script:
    cat > nocopy.sed
    1i\
    FAQ:
    And then cat whatever | sed -f nocopy.sed

  4. Damage Mac CD-ROM on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 1

    If a damaged CD can seriously and permanently damage a CD-ROM player there is some serious error in the firmware of that drive.
    If a web server would crash when it got a bad request we would sure send a bug report to the vendor and I can't quite see the difference here. The CD may be defect but so is the CD-ROM drive.
    (of course that doesn't justify selling defect (pseudo) audio CDs, especially not with Celine Dion)

  5. What is security, anyway? on The World's Most Secure OS (?) · · Score: 1

    The Department of Defense has four classes of operating system security where A is the best and D the worst and where the C class has two subgroups C1 and C2. OpenBSD as (almost) all other unices are at level C1 but Windows NT (and proably also 2000) are at level C2 (a higher level), however I think few would use theese operating systems in environments OpenBSD normally serves. Still when you read about operating system security the Windows guys can always claim they are using the more secure OS. Maybe we could (kindly) ask the Department of Defense to intruduce another OS scale ... Bug-free-ness...
