  1. Re:What OS? on Removing Burstabit Spyware? · · Score: 1

    This could very well be a virus which utilized one of the many zillions of ways to exploit internet explorer. My parents had a rogue web page install another javascript time triggered web page into the registry to start at boot, and bring up ads at random intervals.

    I don't think this guy really likes his brother otherwise he wouldn't have posted this link to get slashdotted.

  3. Re:I dont get this... on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 1

    Its not a punishment. It is enforcement of a legally binding contractual agreement Microsoft made several years ago to include their Java VM in MS's Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, Microsoft just included a home-brewn MS custom/cripple/"expanded" version. Sun just wants retribution for what should have been happening for years now.

  4. Re: Speech Synthesizing the Linux Kernel for Arts on Speech Synthesizing the Linux Kernel for Arts Sake · · Score: 1

    What somebody saying they don't think this is art, is trolling??? Give me a break moderators. This is not a troll this is just a collection of logically assessed thoughts.

  5. Re:It's the... on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 1

    Here let me go ahead and sum up what will really be happening: script kiddy heaven (need I say more). I'm sure the other peer computers will be attacked just as much as the server, because script kiddies love getting new toys.

    You have dumb friends.

  7. Re: Speech Synthesizing the Linux Kernel for Arts on Speech Synthesizing the Linux Kernel for Arts Sake · · Score: 0, Troll

    Go ahead, broadcast something that not only nobody wants to listen to, but make it something that will make most people think you are the dumbest idiot on the face of the earth. Art is not a catch-all phrase for stuff without meaning. Art is a creative work. Dumping uninteresting c and asm code through a text-to-speach does not make a person an artist, nor does it make the end result art. I hope somebody shoots this person before the first word of linux source is ever muttered. To have so little reason to live as to result to doing random, inane, pointless, and completely uninteresting things under the moniker of artwork is insanity. Although, one could say that randomness breeds art. Just look at the plethora of creative writing bred by this randomness. I think what we have here is an artistic seed, but not art in and of itself.

  8. Re:WHEN RAT MONKEYS ATTACK on InterTrust Says It Owns DRM, Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    DRM is a good thing as long as it is used as a tool, and does not become mandatory for anything.

  9. Re:Legality of Attacking Spammers? on ISP Chief on Spam · · Score: 1

    Well, you must realize that the ISPs are not really the victims here anyways. They could easily close off their SMTP server to only allow mail that is aimed at an address on the server, or originates from an address on the server. This would stop most spamming originating from their server.

  10. Re:Totally off-topic- but "blog"? on Free Speech And WebLogs · · Score: 1

    Finally, someone with a definition. Just because slang is widely used does not mean its universally known.

    Thats very sensible, I agree. Although, I myself would like to find myself free of this tyrannical government which is owned by big businesses. But thats just a matter of oppinion.

    Yeah, I agree with you guys. Lets ship those terrorist air-freight bulk.

    Quake ][ would work great, as it has a million mods and also has a decent software renderer. I use to play it on my old laptop, and I was still pretty competetive.

    good system, if you didn't say it, I would have. I was just wondering if you know of any companies that actually does this, as this could be the most reliable evidence we could hope to support.

  17. All IT people are not created equal on IT Worker-to-User Ratio Survey? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What the hell is wrong with you people. The view you are propogating here, is the one that gets all IT departments in trouble to begin with. Your saying that an IT person, is an IT person, is an IT person. There are admins, coders, support, training, etc. There are every kind of IT person under the rainbow, and each one has a distinct role. IT people != capital. You can not just throw more IT at a problem and it will work, or take them away when you are overbudget. You need the right kind of IT person for each job. Personally I think the problem with jobs today, is that they are unwilling to designate a person as a certain kind of IT person, so they just get clumped into the IT person category, and thusly when people look at the budget they realize they have 5 general purpose IT people. Time for cutbacks. Who the hell came up with this inane grouping anyways. Developers should be working under the other departments making programs that work with the other departments programs anyways.

    Time to upgrade. Although, it has been my experience that the view source mecahnism of the mozilla line isn't a whole lot less flaky.

  21. Re:intranet on Making Browsers Honor the DNS SearchDomain? · · Score: 1

    My apologies, it was not explained above that you know what you are doing, and that is an overly long suffix. Depending on how important this is too you. You can set up a redirect script, on a machine on your intranet which has a name other than www.

    No he's saying his company's domain is mycompany.com and since his computer is a member of mycompany.com he thinks it should check www.mycompany.com first. Well, the real solution to this is quit being so damn lazy. And if he really wants his www, he can just enter it into his hosts file. Or as you say enter the name which resolves some other way than DNS.

    For the 900 trillion flip-flop solution, you would have to reference an engineering manual for the spinning top infinite storage solution, well, the power consumption is directly proportional to (2^size stored)*impulse constant. And then just whatever can power the reader circuit.
