  1. Re:psand have been doing this in the UK on Temporary Wireless Service For An Outdoors Event? · · Score: 1

    There is also a guy on a bicycle doing it... I forget who and where, but I probably saw it on TechTV or Discovery channels....

  2. Re:Yeah, that's highly likely! on Life-Ruining Browser Hijackers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would you really want to be judged by a group of people that were too stupid to get out of jury duty?

  3. Re:Pop Quiz on ACLU Sues FBI Over ISP Records · · Score: 1

    Limiting freedoms gradually is MUCH more dangerous then limiting instantly. The gradual way will due more harm in the end. Remember the American Revolution? The British Government limited freedoms gradually, if they did so faster as in instantly, they would have had an immediate uprising. That is why in America in the Revolution, we had the Loyalists and the Freedom Fighters, the Rebels.

    You really don't want to have another Revolution many years down the road. Especially in an established country it causes nothing but trouble.

  4. Reverse Engineering is still legal!!! on FOSS Application Under Attack by Makers of KaZaa · · Score: 1

    Reverse Engineering is still legal!!!

    I mean, Attorney General Ashcroft has been doing it to the Bill of Rights for years now!

  5. Re:By the numbers on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 2, Funny

    What? Apple sells sesktops, laptops, and servers?! This is shocking news!

    Yes, and they have been going belly up for 20 years too!

  6. Re:Windows also safe on TCP Vulnerability Published · · Score: 1

    I have modded hundreds of times... And never offered a BJ... WTH is up with that? Am I not good enough for you guys?

  7. I swear when I read the title it read: on Space Technology to Conquer Everest · · Score: 5, Funny

    Space Technology to Conquer Everquest.

    I don't play EQ, so I don't know how the association could have been made. I saw the first line and the mention of the ESA and wondered what the hell did they want to do with EQ. Then I reread the headline.

  8. Re:A little reminder here... on Apple Hunts Playfair in India · · Score: 1

    Do the DRM's misteriously disappear when the copyright term is up? They do eventually become public domain right? I know it is probably a long time away since the entertainment industry is the only industry where they try to delay things getting into the hands of public domain.

  9. Re:Let's hope indeed on Apple Hunts Playfair in India · · Score: 1

    One of my three computers died. I told iTunes about it and they let me download the files that I lost, that was nice. The problem is I can only use 2 computers now. The other computer is dead.

  10. Re:BitTorrent mirror for PlayFair on Apple Hunts Playfair in India · · Score: 1

    That's an old version.

    Version 0.5 was the latest

    Shame on you, Shame on you. You confused the Simpsons with Monty Python. Your punishment shall be, THE SPAINISH INQUISITION. /nobody expects the SPAINISH INQUISTION

  12. Re:Bug free! on Tracking the Blackout Bug · · Score: 1

    I am sure my computers at my High School could have compiled that wrong. Don't ask how but they screwed up the Hello World program. It also didn't matter what compiler we used, for some reason we returned errors. Then again that was years ago, we played Quake2, GTA2, Starcraft during the first 4 months since the computers weren't running properly and software hadn't arrived. Then we played catch up the rest of the year. Getting a year's worth of C++ in half the time is not my idea of fun.

  13. Re:One Word: on P2P News Syndication? · · Score: 1

    USENET is the world's largest forum. It's also run using 386's, so it is also incredibly slow.

  14. Re:I would rather on AOL to Give Away Spammer's Porsche · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would have liked to give the man a free castration.

    I am not a doctor, so I would probably botch it badly.

  15. Re:Disagree, this assumes they fail playing catchu on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: 1

    People would bitch till a client for Windows was released. The creator of the program would get 90% e-mail from people wanting it to work on Windows. The only thing that would make me consider switching to Linux would be a great P2P client with encryption and a massive user database. Sadly Linux doesn't have that large of a user database, so it wouldn't be that great of a P2P client anyhow.

    Linux, BSD, all those other OSes need to do one thing. Force Microsoft in court to be called a monopoly and be allowed to compete by using technology that would make using Windows programs usable in Linux. I hear WINE does this but it isn't perfect. It needs to perfectly replicate Windows without infringing, a daunting feat to say the least.

  16. Note to Microsoft on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: 1

    Microsoft, when commiting suicide, if you slit your wrists, remember it is "Down the street, not across it" /gets to make this comment because I have slit my wrists and am always severly depressed. It really sucks being a paranoid android, I tell you.... A brain the size of a world....

  17. I got the file... no clue how to get it to work on PlayFair Pulled Due to DMCA Request · · Score: 1

    I have had the file for awhile and can't seem to get it too work. My big deal is I want to convert songs to MP3 so I can listen to them playing GTA3 and Vice City. I took a few classes on programming and it looks from the stuff that I got that I would have to compile it.... Am I right or is there a simpler way?

  18. Re:Giant robot involved? on Japanese Government Raids Intel Tokyo Offices · · Score: 1

    That makes me think of people running through the streets screaming GODZILLA!!!

    They are really saying Gojira, but in English we hear it as GODZILLA.

    Do you have anything that doesn't 404 when you enter it in?

  20. E-mail from the future... on NY Holds Spam Scam Contest · · Score: 1

    I once got e-mail from the future... It was from someone that wanted money and claimed he was from the future... I would have saved it but hotmail has no storage capacity whatsoever... Although it made no mention of Mr. Fusion or a Flux Capacitor but it did make whoever wrote it sound like they just got out of some quaint little institution with white rubber walls....

    Anti-Bush it is (for me). He's just tooooo dumb.

    But thats not the reason to go after M$. Using your Power is something europeans are a little more careful about.

    Except when it comes to starting World Wars, which this might do.

    Then again, Bush isn't the only idiot. Rummy is quite dumb himself: http://www.moveon.org/censure/caughtonvideo/

  24. BitTorrent of Full Resolution? on Hubble's Deepest Pictures Yet · · Score: 1

    Could someone start a BT(BitTorrent) of the 6200x6200 full resolution image? I will gladly donate my 20+ kb/s for a day or two...

  25. My idea... months ago.... on The Universal Card · · Score: 1

    I brainstormed this months ago, and came up with a better version imho. This whole idea needs a ton of work and a small test market to try it out in, but it would provide useful. I think it would be better if customer loyalty cards supported a standard instead of their proprietary format. Kind of like the computer industry sometimes tries and does. Protected AAC anyone?
