  1. EFF Rocks on EFF Comments on HDTV Copy Restriction Plans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Although I've seen them mentioned numerous times here on slashdot, i've never read anything from them. I suppose the only info I know about them would be considered "hearsay" from slashdot discussions. This article is coherent, easy to understand, well thought out, did i meantion easy to understand, and informative. In short, if i wasn't unemployed, I'd be donating right now.

  2. Re:That GUID on WMP? Yeah . . . on Microsoft to Focus on Security · · Score: 1

    Ok, I know you said 6.4, but since no one who has that version even tried to answer ur question i'll give it a shot even though I've got 7.01. Go tools-> options in the player tab uncheck "allow internet sites to uniquely identify ur player".
    Hope this helps!

  3. Excellent pre-article description on XBox Defects Draw Ire · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Hats off to jeffy124, you're concise and summed up the whole article in a few lines. Now i wish i hadn't wasted my time actually reading the article!

  4. my 75gxp 45gb on IBM DeskStar 75GXP Hard Drive Failures? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    i ordered my drive from some retailer on pricewatch. After about 3 months or so it started making noises that i can only liken to a clutch slipping out on a manual transmission car. Concurrent with these noises would be long seek times, even though i had disabled powersaving spin-down. I think the individual platters spin down or something. Anyways, i d/l'd the ibm diagnostics, it said i had a bad drive. So i called ibm tech support, they said too fucking bad, bec apparently my vendor had bought the drive from dell, thus making it 2nd hand and without warranty. I, being the trusting fool that i am, had thrown out all documentation, and felt screwed. Then i put the drive back in and decided to keep using it until it completely died. Only, and here's the catch, i didn't screw it back in, just left it on the slides in my case. The plm was solved! I was overjoyed and figured i could screw it in, since it would be there for a while. Immed after putting the screws in, the plm is back. I've left the screws out and haven't had a plm since. Yeah!!!

  5. Re:Way off-topic but... on nVidia nForce · · Score: 1

    I did a quick google search with that quote and it seems that not only did George Bush Sr. say it, but that he has a very clear idea of what atheists are. Unfortunately, I don't think the founding fathers would have had any different opinions on the matter. ie, You can be any religion, so long as it's christian.

  6. Re:Double standard on U.S. Judge To Hear Yahoo! Web-Blocking Case · · Score: 1

    That bombing in Kenya, it was at the US embassy. That's American soil, same as if it was in Iowa. That's why the bomber blew it up in the first place, he wanted to kill Americans, not Kenyans. Although, he killed a lot more of the latter than the former.

    The norwegian kid was caught up because of NATO treaties.

  7. The Perfect Convergence of Big Brother's Tech! on Marine Corps Testing Maser for Anti-Personnel Use · · Score: 1

    Now, all Big Brother needs is to use a spy sattelite with face recognition technology and an appropriately powered maser, and THEY can cook any "terrorist" they want at any time. Bureaucrat #1:Joe didn't pay his taxes this year. Bureaucrat #2:Fry him!

  8. Re:It's even worse on Yahoo Offering Encrypted Email · · Score: 1

    Now you make me feel stupid, because I can't figure out why Zixmail is paying Yahoo! for this. Seems to me that Zixmail is giving Yahoo! a more rich, albeit flawed, repertoire.
