    Ah... silly buggers - haven't they realised it only hurts the honest buyer. Oh well.

  2. What happened? on SunnComm Reconsiders Lawsuit Threat · · Score: 1

    Because ever since they've had copy protection on their games? (All units blow up if some hardware key doesn't match...)

  3. Re:Double Standards? on Intuit Apologizes to Turbo Tax Customers · · Score: 1

    No, if you don't like it - boycot the bastards until they behave honorably... oh wait, they are a monopoly you have no choice.

    I will not use XP until they drop Activation.

    No Sir, I am right.

    and the real criminals are those that who wants to keep raking it in for a job they did once. Decent people work and get paid, work and get paid. They don't do a job just once and expect to get paid forever - thats sick greed and amoral, yet that is what copyright allows some to do. 60 million file shares in the US - 51 million who voted for President Bush - time to vote for some politicians who will abolish these amoral laws.

  8. Re:Good free software for Windows on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    X-teq>
    A very powerful utility that lets you change pretty much everything that's changeable in Windows. Allows you to set Windows update registration done, which would only be useful to pirates and won't be mentioned here.


    Screw "update registration" - what we need is something (other than microsoft) which can activate XP ;-)

  9. Re:ZoneAlarm on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    No problem - add the sending/requesting application to the list, right ?


    Right, no problem.

  10. This FTP! on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    Arg, not WS- its crap - go for FileZilla instead - its also one of the very few Windows programs which has the decency to decide where to store its prefs! When it starts the first time it asks you if you want the config stored in the registry or in the local directory (as an xml file) - every program should do this!

  11. Re:For those too lazy to RTFA on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 1

    Odd then that the guy says they disable autostart using the Quicktime applet.

  12. Re:Wow, it's as if they didn't even try... on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 1

    This is about as effective as putting a sticker on the front that says 'Pretty please do not attempt to extract data from this CD on your computer'.

    A band tried that in Denmark. Something like "don't copy this cd, its really unfair!"

  13. Re:Oh for crying out loud on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 1

    That's a *large* chunk of the sales they actually lose

    That's a supposition, not a fact.

  14. Re:For those too lazy to RTFA on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 1

    You disable autostart through the QuickTime controlpanel? Glad to see Apple dropped the notion of an intuitive OS.

  15. Re:For the iMac it's only 2 steps: on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 1

    2). Take iMac into tech support, so they can "extract" the cd that is now jammed in your computer.

    Actually, step 1 should be: Buy a proper computer, not some shit where you can't eject a disc manually.

  16. Re:What's with Ian Clarke ? on Fracturing P2P Networks · · Score: 1

    He's acting like a stroppy school kid "try earthstation 5" indeed. Somebody stole his Power Puff Girls collection?

  17. Re:Then and Now on Fracturing P2P Networks · · Score: 1

    Gmane is a service that lets you read and post to mailing lists via NNTP with a usenet newsreader, and makes archives available on the web. So, Ian posted to a mailing list, which was routed to usenet and archived as a (read-only) "webboard".

    Ooh, that sounds usefull. Does it work with any mailinglist or only a select few?

    And now, would somebody please mod me off-topic? :-)

    Schush! Not so loud, they do that at the slightest provokation, such as setting a comma wrong! (How about modding some threads up instead?)

    Now: "Freenet is a research project, always has been. If people find that its usable, then great, they can help us research how to make it better." -- Ian, Newsgroup posting

    It would appear its not a newsgroup but a webboard?

  19. Re:What more do you guys want? on Fracturing P2P Networks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He doesn't "owe" anyone anything,

    No, he owes everybody respectful behaviour.

    You see, that's the beauty of open source, instead of "shit, or get off the pot" it's "code or STFU".


    You forgot "I can't program, so i'd like you to do this"

    adding a wrapper to their divx (good way to slow it down!) - read this for an annoying story.
