  1. Let me be the second! on Constitutionality of RIAA Damages Challenged · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Duh

  2. Re:Is it surprising? on Best Buy $39.95 "Optimization" At Best a Waste of Money · · Score: 0

    I've been saying that since BB acquired the Geek Squad, it has become a sham, a scam, and I'm quite sure a violation of many privacy laws.

    Yeah, but who else is going to spread nudes of the underage daughters of the people who are stupid enough to bring their computer in?

  3. Re:What's a "Sneaker Tech"? on How Many Admins Per User/Computer Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    Refers to technicians who are on-call inside the building, usually walking to wherever the problem is, hence 'sneaker tech'.

  4. Nowadays? on How Many Admins Per User/Computer Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    It's normal. With the economy and the dwindling amount of resources being set aside to IT in companies, you can expect to see the tech to end-user ratio reach 1:1000 often.

    It's 72 virgins. Get it right.

    That's at least one giant step in the right direction.

  7. Two words... on In Test, Windows 7 Vulnerable To 8 Out of 10 Viruses · · Score: 0

    No shit.

      I'm sure any other Windows OS shortly after launch is susceptible to many viruses as well.

  8. Free Viagra! on Facebook Awarded $711 Million In Anti-Spam Case · · Score: 0

    Why can't -I- sue people for emailing me mindless spam?

  9. Re:LyX on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: -1

    'Steep learning curve' goes both ways.

    As does your mother.

    On topic: It depends what you you designate the X and Y axes.

    Say you have your typical exponential (steep) curve. If you call your X axis "Time Spent" and the Y axis "Knowledge Gained", then the curve represents something easy. If you switch your axes around, the curve represents the opposite.

  10. What they don't mention up front... on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: -1

    You only get three alerts per month, and you have to pay 1GBP to get another three.

  11. Re:I lock my computer when I walk away on Schneier On Un-Authentication · · Score: -1

    WinKey + L is a hell of a lot handier with Windows.

  12. Re:So, GNOME and KDE orgs not a big factor? on How GNOME and KDE Spend Their Money · · Score: -1

    It's uhhh... like trying to compare the speed of two cars without engines?

  13. Re:simple. on How GNOME and KDE Spend Their Money · · Score: -1

    Well you've just validated my preference for KDE. These are clearly the healthier group of developers.

    Until one of the KDE devs contracts Gonorrhea from the (cheap [read: free open source genitalia]) hookers, of course.

  16. Re:Will Canadian Pols Roll Over on CRIA, MPAA Demand Expanded DMCA For Canada · · Score: -1

    If you want a leader who's against new copyright laws you have to look to the ones who're anti-american like the Bloc, and the NDP, or Green.

    ...or the Pirate Party of Canada.

  17. There should be no expectancy of privacy... on Undercover Cameras Catch PC Repair Scams, Privacy Violations · · Score: 0

    As a computer technician myself (and no, I'm not just "good with computers"), people have asked me to back up anything and everything I can find, i.e. pictures, word documents, etc.

    In order to do my job, I must sometimes look through the computer (i.e. Windows Search or just browsing through directories on the root of the drive). If I happen to run into nude pictures of the person I am fixing the computer for, then I treat them like any other picture and back them up.

    Heck, next thing the media's going to say is that using simple password editors/removers to get into Windows accounts for repairs is wrong.

    Manitoba. The land of cheap, fast internet, with no data limit. Sure, we're a small, shitty little province with no great exports except for hydroelectricity. But if all you do is surf porn all day, Manitoba is for you!
