  1. Editing mistake? on ClamAV For Windows Open Beta Begins · · Score: 5, Informative

    From TFA "ClamAV 3.0 for Windows Open Beta", not "ClamAV for Windows 3.0" as the summary states.

  2. Re:Great Legal Team! on Sony Must Show It Has Jurisdiction To Sue PS3 Hacker · · Score: 1

    Then you can't use a program like VLC to watch encrypted DVDs since it uses that key and is decrypting the DVDs (and yes you can use VLC as a dvd decrypter + converter). But, on the other hand, VLC isn't sold and could possibly just be considered as "publishing" the key since it is open source and would have the key in its source.

  3. Re:Security through obscurity doesn't work on Trend Micro Chairman Says Open Source Is a Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Wait, you said that each computer only needs to have the anti virus on it. Does it say that you have to install the anti virus on every computer and use it regularly?

  4. Re:Can Slashdot OP's cut the snark? on Trend Micro Chairman Says Open Source Is a Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Citation?

  5. Re:New business model: on Google Pushes New Chrome Release, Pays $14k Bounty · · Score: 1

    I thought thats what Linux was for? Except that companies like Redhat get work done for free by part of the community.

  6. Re:stop using non-random passwords on Amazon EC2 Enables Cheap Brute-Force Attacks · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he got luck?

  7. Re:Of course on Sony Says PSP2 "As Powerful as PS3" · · Score: 1

    Because this article says nothing about the PS2... Its talking about the new handheld, which they are calling the "PSP2". Yes it looks similar to PS2 but, the PSP2 is not out yet and is (theoretically) in development.

  8. Re:Uh on Covert Video of Apple IPad 2 Just Released · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, you weren't missing much and you wouldn't be able to see it from an iPad anyways since its flash...

  9. Re:Three Strikes.. on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    America has the largest prison population in the world, larger (by far) than all of the EU and South America combined! larger (by far) than the Russian federation! and probably larger than China (if we could really know).

    I thought that everyone in China was in prison? Think about it, they are barely ever allowed to leave, can't bring "sensitive" information with them about the inside, and they even have Great Wall surrounding them and holding them inside.

  10. Re:This is it! on MySpace Lays Off 47% of Employees · · Score: 2

    That will happen right after the Year of the Linux desktop....

  11. Re:Personally.... on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    I see Rockband as being a good learning tool for people who know nothing about rhythm, or who rhythmically challenged. Something like rockband will help them get familiar with the beat of songs that they have already heard before but never really payed too much attention to the different parts of the song, but more so to the loudness of it.

  12. Personally.... on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think this is a pretty good idea and would be nice if it could be made more main stream. It gets kinda annoying when you have a bunch of kids bragging about how could they are at guitar hero, even though they can't play a real one at all. It could also help kids learn an instrument that they would otherwise look past since that it would be a video game and therefor automagically cool.

  13. Re:Maybe.. on FreeBSD Running On PS3 · · Score: 1

    You realize that the PS3 uses a special Cell processor that would not be compatible with a PPC binary? I think you may be thinking of the Xbox360 which uses a PPC processor.

  14. Re:Remember when gaming consoles... on FreeBSD Running On PS3 · · Score: 1

    Remember when rocks were just rocks?

  15. Re:Let's put it up on Wikileaks on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    Well, if everyone starts smoking pot all the time of course it will be full of rainbows and unicorns....

  16. Re:Let's put it up on Wikileaks on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with pot? Last I checked pot was very safe and has been used by civilizations for thousands of years without any side effects.

  17. Re:This is why I refuse to buy apple products. on Apple Pulls VLC Media Player From AppStore · · Score: 1

    You could triple boot your mac between windows, GNU/Linux and OS X. What more could you ask for? When they start locking that ability down is the time when you should start worrying...

  18. Re:...but #1 is usually right! on When Smart People Make Bad Employees · · Score: 1

    Number 250608 please report to the nearest reeducation center.

  19. Re:Dear Sony.... on PS3 Root Key Found · · Score: 1

    Good luck playing anything over 480p on the wii though.

  20. Re:Same private key? on PS3 Root Key Found · · Score: 1

    Isn't that enough metalling around for one day?

  21. Re:country club prison is better then leting rapis on Storm Botnet Returns As Part of New Year's Attacks · · Score: 2

    And I can protect my friends from viruses but giving them linux. :)

    Protection against these malware authors proves to be rather simple.

    You should consider installing http://rockbox.org/ on it to give it new life :)

    now if only they would create some sort of device to amplify or prepare the signal before being sent for further amplification. They could maybe even call it a pre-amp!

    And actually Archos is working on a 10" tablet that will run Android. Only $300 for the 8GB version (once it is released) https://store.archos.com/archos-internet-tablet-p-5005.html

  25. Re:Forget the article, submitter is weird on A New Idea, For People Who Want To See More Banner Ads · · Score: 1

    I think another good form of some ads are what BlendTec does with their "will it blend" commercials. They can be very entertaining to watch....
