  1. Living proof of Aliens on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think the duck-billed platypus is all the proof we need that aliens have messed with Earth.

  2. Watch out! on PayPal Settles Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sounds like another one of those phishing scams to me! ;)

  3. Performance Claims on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do people think they can write these sort of articles and make performance claims in them without any sort of supporting evidence? Some quick numbers? A link to a study? Anything?

  4. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you scroll down to the appendix and look at "Additional Tables" you'll see that this is less alarming than it first appears. The vast, vast majority of corporations in the US are tiny little Small Businesses. Those corporations don't pay taxes because they barely make any money. Many aren't REALLY doing business, they are somebody's home business that never took off, etc.

  5. Worm vs Virus on Windows Users Fear Korgo Virus · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you "just get it" without having to run anything, it's a worm, not a virus. It's not complicated.

  6. Re:Up and Coming... on Where's Your 'D-Spot?' · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'll fully admit that T-Mobile coverage in Upstate NY is non-existant if you aren't on an Interstate or in Buffalo or Rochester, but what are you doing that Verizon customers have more minutes than you?

    Verizon America's Choice $39.99 400 Anytime + N&W
    T-Mobile Get More $39.99 600 Anytime + N&W
    Verizon America's Choice $59.99 800 Anytime + N&W
    T-Mobile Get More Plus $59.99 1000 Anytime + N&W

    Plus T-Mobile's Data Rates are great, their fees are low and their Customer Service is excellent. Though I realize that if coverage sucks in your area none of that really matters.

  7. The question on everyone's lips... on Sony's 'Cell'-based TV Ready By 2006 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah...but will it accept Memory Stick??!!

  8. Ummm....wow on After DeCSS, DVD Jon Releases DeDRMS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I didn't expect it to be written in C#. No wonder it's so short.

  9. Re:Time to dig out this old post. on A New Type Of Realtime Blocklist: The SURBL · · Score: 2, Informative

    All it takes is one black-listed URL in the body of the message to get it tagged as spam. White-listed domains are simply ignored.

  10. *crosses fingers* on MSN Rolling Out New Search Engine In July · · Score: 1

    Maybe this one will be able to find me a Mahito recipe on the internet.

  11. Re:Why not support Java then? on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 1

    Incorrect, the question has never been revealed. It is speculated that if both the question and the answer were known at the same time that the whole universe would collapse and a new even stranger one would appear.

    Ford Prefect attempted to retreive the question from Arthur Dent's psyche through the use of scrabble pieces, but the question he got "What do you get when you multiple 6 x9?" was in fact a skewed answer due to the arrival of thousands of telephone sanitizers, hair dressers and other dregs of society from another civilization which polluted the machine (Earth) which was supposed to be computing the question.

  12. Re:Need more "rebels" in the system on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 1

    Secure, encrypted online messaging and file transfer? Yeah, who could possibly use that?

  13. an EXE?!! on 'Bagle' Worm Heading For A Windows PC Near You · · Score: 4, Funny

    Come on! Outlook hasn't allowed these to be run for years now? How do these things still spread? Little old ladies stuck on Eudora 3.0 or something?

  14. Increased Productivity? on Microsoft Patents 'Phone-Home' Failure Reporting · · Score: 1

    Increased efficiency at the new USPTO location? Not with all 22 screens of AMC Hoffman Center just down the street.

  15. Re:half the problem is... on Will Bounties Cure The Spam Problem? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I mean look at that terrible window technology. It's so easy to break the glass that people are practically inviting people to come in and take their stuff. Why outlaw burglary when people are just too lazy to get a new security model and start installing steel plates over those windows?

  16. Where's Lavar Burton when you ened him? on Wi-Fi From The Sky · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Of course, 64MB is quite a lot of video memory. on Tackling AGP 8X · · Score: 1

    And yet already 128MB of RAM is giving quite a performance boost in some games! Sure you can run them with lower quality settings, but if you've got a top of the line graphics card, do yourself a favor and go with the 128MB version. It's not just fluff. See this other fine Tech-Report article.

  18. Re:Gnucleus on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    I know, I accidentally replied to my own message instead of to a reply to my own message. I was intending to reply to the guy talking about Kazaa Lite.

  19. Re:Gnucleus on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Call me paranoid, but I don't trust some random anonymous guy to pull all the spyware out of a commerical product when I can't look a the source and verify that he didn't throw some spyware of his own back in.

  20. Gnucleus on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Gnucleus! Open Source gnutella file sharing. For once you can be REALLY sure that there isn't any spyware in your filesharing software!

  21. Re:This is too good on The "Find Your Old BBS Buddies" Database · · Score: 1

    No, actually it's because he's running it off of a DSL Line in his basement, it has nothing to do with his server choice.

  22. The important question on 3D Visualization Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but when can I get it as a Winamp Plugin?

  23. Microsoft of course! on Recommendations for Third Party Security Audits? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I hear Microsoft has a lot of recent experience with this! Why not give Bill a call?

  24. This thing wants to be a LAN box, but... on Shuttle's SS50 reviewed · · Score: 1

    Come one Shuttle! What do we have to do to get an AGP port in one of these things!?

  25. In my Crystal Ball I see... on IBM Developing Lego-like Storage Brick · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is just a marketing ploy so they can sell storage Clusters shaped like Castles, Pirate Ships and the Millenium Falcon!
