  1. Re:Open source? - PROOF? on Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can you prove that DVDXCopy is simply a front-end wrapper for a bunch of open source tools? This has been a "myth" and something people have claimed for quite some time but I've never seen anyone back it up!

  2. Re:600kbps?? on Starz, RealNetworks Offer Movie Download Service · · Score: 1

    You download each individual movie, there is no streaming per se. It is all controlled by a special DRM module that is installed on your REAL player.

  3. A Spindle of DVD +/- Rs! on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    Get him a nice brand (Ritek, Ricoh, Mitsubishi, etc.) 100 spindle of DVD +/- Rs...gigs and gigs of data and perhaps he'll burn a couple romantic flicks for you guys to watch (in between copying all of his friends hardcore pr0ns). :)

  4. Microsoft's Wireless Routers are Secure... on Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles · · Score: 1

    ...out of the box...no shit...surprising, eh?

  5. Re:The Geek Xmas Connundrum on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually eMachines aren't too shabby. Recently purchased ones have all name brand parts, etc...not as cheap as they were back in the original days (Celeron 300-era).

  6. They objected to my site too... on Google AdWords And Ethics Issues · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I run a VW enthusiast website that primarily consists of people discussing the modifications of their Volkswagens. However, I do have a forum which "anything goes" and it happens to have pr0n posted once in a while. I ran Google AdSense for a few weeks and then they emailed me stating I had to censor the content or remove the ads. Needless to say, I removed the ads. I respect Google's intentions - most advertisers don't want to be affiliated with "risque" content...and they are just protecting their interests. They were very courteous throughout the issue and I would definitely use them again if I have a site that conforms to their guidelines.

  9. Similar to Microsoft's URLScan... on New Apache Module For Web Intrusion Detection · · Score: 1

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/ur lscan.asp

    Nice to see Apache adding this functionality. As a web admin, the availability of another layer of security is always appreciated.

  13. Why oh why... on ReplayTV May Drop "Commercial Advance" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't understand why ReplayTV would even consider removing those features, especially seeing as those are two of the HUGE advantages it has over its (winning) competitor Tivo.

    Sure, Tivo has the 30 second skip if you have the right model and you enter in the Easter Egg, but most people don't surf around for Easter Eggs and therefore aren't aware of it (plus it isn't advertised as a feature for drones shopping at Best Buy, etc.).

    They already declared bankruptcy and were bought out by another company, so somehow by eliminating some of its most compelling features they are going to rise to the top?

  14. Re:I also have many crappy computers needing stora on Australian Computer Museum Looking For Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    Quit tryin' to use Slashdot as your own personal eBay.... ....So, how much for that dual PPro? :)

  15. Re:#1 Reason why DVD-R is a must at work... on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Everyone needs to lighten up...sheesh. Yes, child pr0n was mentioned in the article, but at the end it states if you discover "illegal goodies" on a server/workstation. In that context I think of MP3s/warez/movies/LEGAL pr0n, which I would gladly horde.

    But anyway, glad I got everyone goin' crazy discussing the issue.

    ...so you can horde all of the contraband you discover on workstations and servers. :)

  17. Compliance on Hard Drives Instead of Tapes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So a BIG RAID is somehow safer than many small RAIDS? Backups aren't just for the heck of it...some of them are required for compliance, i.e. the financial industry.

  18. Who is in their target market??? on TiVo and Rendezvous · · Score: 1

    People that own a Mac OS X-capable Macintosh and know how to use MP3s/Movies/etc. and have a wireless network and have a TiVo???

    This thing will sell like hotcakes! :)

  19. Re:AMD have NOT lost the CPU war on GeforceFX (vs. Radeon 9700 Pro) Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    You say the P4 has a "pretty fucked up design"...but this is the "old" P4 you are referring to. As mentioned in the article, the P4 2.4GHz and up are redesigned significantly.

    You also argue stability...I tend to disagree with that - AMD is not known for it's stability versus Intel. It may have the performance crown, but stability it does not. If for no other reason than that almost all software is designed with Intel processors in mind. Nevermind the huge heat and power resources required by many AMD processors versus Intel at the same speed...

  20. Re:its cheap too! on 802.11g Hardware Arrives · · Score: 1

    Yeah...apparently too cheap:

    http://www2.warehouse.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=DEC5 356&cat=pc&blind=

    "The product you requested is currently not available."

    Price mistake or did they sell out due to Slashdotters feverishly picking them up? :)

  21. Re:They are profiting off of others free programs! on MPAA Countersues 321 Studios · · Score: 1

    Sorry...that isn't proof. They spend about 99% of the threads time talking about DVDX, which is *NOT* DVDXCOPY.

    Here is a thread you should review:

    Well that makes a lot of sense...especially considering the apps he mentions run natively on WINDOWS!

    Please...someone post some *proof* that DVDXCOPY is just a "front-end" for the apps the poster above lists...you probably cannot because there is none...this app is claimed to be 100% original by the folks at DVDXCOPY.

  23. Re:They are profiting off of others free programs! on MPAA Countersues 321 Studios · · Score: 1

    You have absolutely no proof of this. I'm a heavy user of DVDXCOPY as well as other related apps (including SmartRipper from your list) and I highly doubt it is simply a "front-end". Derrow (maker of IFOEdit and DVDRip among others) has even pitched in to develop on the DVDXCOPY project now.

    Please post your source of this misinformation...
