  1. Re:Count Me Out on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Make sure you download the latest patch for the game. Then, you can go into slow-mo by pressing 'print screen' button. This will allow you to dodge bullets and kick the asses of everyone on the level. Also, remember you can always look for "Hitman Walkthrough" online. You should check out Hitman 2, though. It fixes a lot of the problems with version 1.

  2. Re:Hooray! on Canada Quashes Copyright Tax on MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    Maybe under the capitalist system he would have been able to get a job and afford healthcare of his own? Not to be insensative--just consider it from that angle.

  3. Re:just what we need... on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a good idea for a Photoshop contest!

  4. Re:No need for XOR on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 1

    I thought it was NOR that was used in silicon. Am I confused or something?

  5. Re:This simply doesn't work. on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    MX records are not required for mail servers. I certainly hope there aren't many RFC-ignorant people like you configuring mail servers to not send to me because of the lack of an MX!

  6. Re:next time take a router, on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Come on, plug in your laptop and call again. They will make you reboot everything like 5 times, and eventually realize that the problem is on their end of the cable modem. Then they will send someone out to your house, and he will figure out something like "squirrels were chewing on your cable" or whatever (it happened to me). I can't believe you even considered buying a "router solution."

  7. Re:give me permanence or give me bit-death! on New ChromaLife 100 Canon Printer Inkset · · Score: 1

    You are a fool. Using ink is a garunteed way to lose data. Keeping hot backups (on a RAID on a seperate server) will garuntee no loss of data. And it can be a lot less expensive in the long run.

  8. free weatherbug? on NOAA Adopts New Net Policy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does this mean someone could write a free version of weatherbug that doesn't include the annoying spyware and registration? That'd be nice.

  9. Re:Good News in War Against China on Military Robots Get Machine Guns · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with a Civ endgame?

  10. the future is starting on Military Robots Get Machine Guns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One of my coworkers is a military man. He says there will always be need for a human with a gun to be on the ground in war.

    But if you have a soldier controlling a robot with a gun, he can literally have eyes in the back of his head. The thing could have cammeras on all sides. His hands would be perfectly steady. He could be simultaneously seeing infra red, heat vision, and what ever other kind of cammera they have mounted on it buy looking at multiple monitors. And think if the great help in communication. You could just yell "he's around the corner" to the other controller right next to you, like at a LAN party. No hand signals or radios needed. You could have a speaker mounted on it for ording civilians around.

    Soon we will be fighting zero casualty (on our side) battles. That is, until someone develops the perfect jammer and sells it widely.

  11. Readings from LaForge on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did Jordi ever start reading his lines, then stop and say "You can find out what happens by reading this script. So blast off to your local library today." pissing everyone else off?

  12. in other words: why open source software's illegal on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Ever contributed code to a big project, such as the Linux kernel, while employed full time? Where I work (and everywhere else, I imagne) I signed a document saying anything I invent, create, whatever, while I am on or off company time, is owned by the company. That means my employer owns the copyrights to this post. It also means any code I contribute to open source is actually owned by them, and can't be legally GPL'd.

  13. no iconification? on E17 Available From CVS · · Score: 0

    Wow. So basically, you're saying it compiles! That's headline news. Or not.

  14. power on JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Does anybody know how the power requirements of running a hard drive compare to those of running a tape spooler?

  15. Re:Work Visas on Westerners Migrating to India for Jobs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you are unemployed, a low-paying job is not a pay cut.

  16. Re:FBI spies on Nmap Author Receives FBI Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    No way in heaven? They could sniff the wifi data as it passes out of the solar system by using Voyager or something. WiFi data isn't destroyed, it just keeps going outward forever.

  17. Re:It just doesn't add up on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 1

    Think food and beverages.

  18. Re:What's the point? on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    Hm... well, maybe to you. To a lot of people, hunting is about getting away from the wife.

  19. Re:SETI noise on Intro to Encryption · · Score: 1

    Actually, somebody else could be recording the SETI info. He could then XOR ("superimpose?") his message over all data generated by SETI until he comes up with plain text output. That would take a finite amount of time.

  20. Re:trade secret != copyright on Windows Source Code Seller Arrested · · Score: 1

    There is no specific mention of copyright or trademark in the constitution.

  21. Re:Could be a trick on Latest Version of MyDoom Exploits New IE Flaw · · Score: 1

    Because none of us are running IE.

  22. Re:a test on Fun with Prime Numbers · · Score: 1

    Which is to say, I think this is really cool.

  23. a test on Fun with Prime Numbers · · Score: 1

    If this gets you really excited, you know you are the truest form of nerd.

  24. Re:Nobody wants your data. on Outsourcing Information Security · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but nobody wants that data enough to risk hacking in and going to jail for it. Did you read the entire post you are responding to?

  25. Re:Makes me glad I use pine on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 2, Informative

    That sure makes things easy when someone sends you some pictures. Or you want to reply to an email and attach a file on your local computer, having to initiate an sftp session is lots of fun, right?

    There's this cool new thing called IMAP. Look into it and get with the 90's.
