  1. Re:Not Free on Google's Free Satnav Outperforms TomTom · · Score: 1

    You could download via free wifi and cache for offline use.

  2. Re:Microsoft on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    A lot of people recommend this, but's its core engine is MSMPENG, which is used in Windows Live One Care, Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Forefront. None of which seem to pickup what they advertise they're supposed to. I'm using the latest AVG, although it has ONE advertisement, I still think it works really well. In my opinion it hasn't bloated enough to piss me off.

  3. XLink Kai on Xbox Live For Original Xbox Games Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    I guess it's too bad for them I've used XLink Kai for the last 4 years.

  5. Thats why on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    That's why only morons keep buying shit from Microsoft. PPC freeware ftw.

  7. They have this to... on How a Team of Geeks Cracked the Spy Trade · · Score: 1

    It's called Limeware, or Frostwire FTE
    "Along with the safe house location, the LimeWire networks also disclosed presidential motorcade routes, as well as sensitive but unclassified document that listed details on every nuclear facility in the country." - http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/07/29/205207

  8. I2P or Tor on Solution For College's Bad Network Policy? · · Score: 1

    http://www.i2p2.de/how_networkcomparisons There are many other applications and projects working on anonymous communication and I2P has been inspired by much of their efforts. This is not a comprehensive list of anonymity resources - both freehaven's Anonymity Bibliography and GNUnet's related projects serve that purpose well. That said, a few systems stand out for further comparison: * Tor / Onion Routing * Morphmix and Tarzan * Mixminion / Mixmaster * Freenet * JAP * MUTE / AntsP2P

  9. from the who-didn't-know-that dept on Hulu Testing Client App; Boxee Dispute Explained · · Score: 1

    It may not have been laid out before, but this has been the issue all along.

    FTA-"In short, thanks to the DMCA, we need a Right-To-Repair Act not just for cars, but increasingly for all the things we own."

  11. People's Revolution on Tiered Data Plans Coming To the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    OMG fuck them, it DOESN'T need to cost that much. I have an htc Winmo phone on evdo service, Cricket in Colorado 60/unlimited everything, CDMA unfortunately, but when you start paying those outrageous fees, they're going to think it's ok, but it's not at all.

  12. Pneumatic tubes on The Tech Building Blocks of City 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Pneumatic tubes, ala Futurama.

  14. WMWifiRouter on Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spot · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I use this on my winmo htc titan. Cricket in Colorado 60/month unlimited everything, ftw.

  15. Fiber in gas pipes? on Why Is Connectivity So Cheap In Stockholm? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The U.S. should use an infrastructure already in place. Pipe fiber through residential gas lines. It's only light traveling across the line so it shouldn't ignite the fuel.

  16. Re:Re App Store on Boxee Launches New API · · Score: 1

    XBMC>Boxee, boxee is just a pretty skin. You can write/download python scripts for either one and just place in the appropriate plugins folder.

  18. Mythbusters Season 7 Press Release on Mythbusters Accidentally Bust Windows In Nearby Town · · Score: 1

    In the April 8 two-hour Demolition Derby Special episode, MYTHBUSTERS tackle four fables of automotive mayhem. Adam and Jamie test whether a key scene from an iconic motoring movie is fact or fake film physics could moving the passengers to one side of a bus stop it from rolling in a sharp, fast right hand turn? Then, they revisit an early MYTHBUSTERS fan favorite involving two trucks and a compact car and of course, rockets and high explosives. Meanwhile, Kari, Tory and Grant take on Hollywood as they look at four familiar chase scene clichs to find out if they match up to reality, and then test a gravity race seen in a popular car commercial. via http://futoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=03/16/09&id=20090316discovery01

  19. Re:It seems ironic... on Ballmer Scorns Apple As a $500 Logo · · Score: 1

    What about Windows Mobile huh? I can do the same stuff as the Iphone, but on a HTC Titan I bought on CL for 100, and I pay 60/month for unlimited everything. Windows Mobile is way under appreciated, although Vista is pretty fucked up, I'm very happy with WinMo. It goes back to the story, I could of spent a lot more to get that apple logo, but this way I've never had to pay for any apps, and I've shown that it doesn't take $500 to do those things, and Apple is just a jackass of a company who loves to take money from people.

  21. xbmcboxee on Hulu Again Removed From Boxee and Again Added Back · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should see the larger image. Boxee is a fork of Xbmc, xbmc but stripped down. Xbmc can run python scripts, check other xbmc plugins which work, ninja video, ted talks, rev3. http://code.google.com/p/voinage-xbmc-plugins/downloads/list I have a plugin for fancast which hosts a lot of the same content as hulu. I'm not sure they intentionally strip out the ads, id be more than willing to sit through them though.

  22. diy distributed computing on How To Build a Homebrew PS3 Cluster Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've thought about Folding @Home and I've always wondered why can't there be a diy distributed computing server that could be setup. Something like this PS3 cluster but could be replicated with any home pc.
