  1. Re:VMware Player on Free Copy of the Sims 2 Contains SecuROM · · Score: 1

    I have a VMs that runs windows xp and 98. They is specifically for old games that won't work on newer operating systems or have stuff like tages or securom. VMware player supports 3d passthrough so on a modern system those older games play perfectly without any frame drop.

    Jesus... they run. They are. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet :/

    You are all welcome :)

  4. HP uses a dedicated Ethernet port for IPMI. on IPMI Protocol Vulnerabilities Have Long Shelf Life · · Score: 1

    Maybe they still have some functionality that allows IPMI over the regular NICs though.

  5. Well at least it only affects paying customers ;) on HP Server Killer Firmware Update On the Loose · · Score: 3, Funny

  6. 95% of all the "new" stuff ... on Ask Slashdot: Can an Old Programmer Learn New Tricks? · · Score: 1

    is just the old stuff with a flashy new name and a little frosting added. :) Stay off my porch!

  7. I click on google ad's all the time ... Why? on Google Blurring Distinction Between Ads and Organic Search Results · · Score: 1

    Because they are f***ing relevant!

  8. Their baked goods section is great! on Whole Foods: America's Temple of Pseudoscience · · Score: 1

    Not because it's good for you. Because they are cupcakes. Who the hell doesn't like cupcakes? :) Communists, that's who.

  9. The WORST part is ... on Dear Asus Router User: All Your Cloud Are Belong To Us · · Score: 1

    This firmware has been available for several days but if you go into your router and have it check for an update (and you are running the one from months ago like I was) it still says you are using the current version.

    I'll NEVER buy another ASUS router again. Their routers get such good reviews. I think it's time to just start running pfsense in a VM on my linux box and just be done with it. Just use the wifi on these shitty routers for wireless lan access.

  10. psssh. easy.. on What Would You Do With the World's Most Powerful Laser? · · Score: 1

    Blow up the moon obviously.

  11. Re:I get the idea, but is it really necessary? on Comparing Cloud-Based Image Services For Developers · · Score: 1

    Storage is cheap but backup services in a datacenter sure isn't. Not when you are gigs of data. Terebytes? Time to get out your checkbook brother.

  12. Translation... on Short Notice: LogMeIn To Discontinue Free Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Logmein loses 99% of their user base. :)

  13. Thanks for the warning about the 15M PDF file ... on Glyphy: High Quality Glyph Rendering Using OpenGL ES2 Shaders · · Score: 1

    downloading that sucker could have taken down the entire Internet. ;) :D

  14. if he was that "tight"... on Rap Genius Returns To Google Search Rankings · · Score: 1

    they wouldn't have banned him in the first place. they would have contacted em and then made them resolve it.

  15. That's a typo .. they meant on Content Most Foul: the British Library's Nanny Filter Blocks 'Hamlet' · · Score: 1

    Hamwallet

  16. Applied Computer Science on Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Advanced Math In a CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    Many universities have applied comp sci b.s. degrees which require a minor in a related degree. They tend to leave out everything above Calc. That would be my recommendation and you might actually be more employable with that degree anyway given the minor.

  17. until... on Twitter: 'We Promise To Not Be a Patent Troll' · · Score: 1

    Like Google, everyone under the sun starts suing you over BS software patents.

  18. My problem is that if I get a Sinus infection and on Antibiotics Are Useless In Treating Most Sinus Infections · · Score: 1

    don't treat it; the it spreads to my lungs. I can handle a stuffy head but not being able to breath properly at all is just unbearable.

  19. Re:Still Junk on Google TV 2.0 Review, Tweaks, and Screenshots · · Score: 2

    The search does work kinda. If you search for something that is on netflix it will show up as a tv series. If you launch that result and its available on netflix it will show up as a 'watch now' option inside that app. But I agree it is cumbersome.

  20. Ugh, thanks. on Do Companies Punish Workers Who Take Vacations? · · Score: 1

    I was just getting ready to ask for another weeks vacation. I've been with the company for 10 years.

  21. How much is just browser search hijacking? on Bing Search Overtakes Yahoo · · Score: 1

    All they do is pay software publishers to change the default search on someone's browsers unknowingly. Or do it themselves when they release a new version of IE. That has to account for at least 90% of their growth.

  22. Only reason I've never purchased one of their ... on Discouraging Playstation Vita Details · · Score: 1

    handhelds is because of the Memory Stick BS.

  23. Re:which patents? on Samsung Seeking Ban of iPhone 4S in Europe · · Score: 1

    They could have done that with the 4. But how would they get you to buy the 4S then?

  24. This would be fine .. BUT on Sony Bringing PSN Pass To All First-Party Games · · Score: 1

    The servers are also run by Sony and the publishers so they decide when they want to take down the multi-player. Honestly though I never really do online multi-player for console games anyway so I don't care.

  25. Good for Sprint! on Sprint Bets Big On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    I loved Sprint's service/coverage when I was with them for 9 years. I only switched to Verizon because of the Droid 1. I hope that this resuscitates Sprint. More wireless providers = more competition and that is great news for everyone! Now if only these wireless providers would give existing customers the same red carpet treatment that new customers command.
