    How many peaceful murderers do you know?

  2. Re:Slashdot & amazon on Amazon Takes Round One in Patent Dispute · · Score: 2

    Something recent maybe? That code's waay old.

  3. Slashdot & amazon on Amazon Takes Round One in Patent Dispute · · Score: 2

    Congrats to slashdot by the way, they seem to have silently switched to fatbrain. Weehoo!

    Now open /.'s source taco, and we'll stop saying first post all the time. ;-)

  4. Re:The rioters are dead wrong on Anti-WTO Riot, State of Emergency in Seattle · · Score: 2

    Ehm, have you ever noticed that economic was only about MONEY? If that's all you care about, fine. But most people prefer a more equal society... That's why I for one greatly prefer holland (with the famous 'polder model') to something like say america...

  5. Re:I find it disturbing that ... on Anti-WTO Riot, State of Emergency in Seattle · · Score: 2

    As far as I have heard, there WAS a lot of peaceful, organized demonstration. I don't think many people where planning violence. (whether they could have expected it is something different).

    As I'm posting anyway, I'd like to say that I'm not happy about the violence, but I'm glad someone was there to protest.

  6. Re:This is far more worrying than id's thing on Cursor Software Tracks You On Web · · Score: 2

    D'oh! My bad... Hmm, let's hope nobody here is also reading my flame on ntsecurity's spelling....
    Oh, D'oh! :-)

  7. Re:Basis for investigation on Crypto Advocate Under Investigation by FBI · · Score: 2

    >Don't be so critical. NTSecurity is a reputable site
    I know, I read it often, even though I don't even use NT myself. However, good content is no excuse for this kind of misspelling. If you can't trust your word processors speling (:-)) check, proofread.

  8. Re:Basis for investigation on Crypto Advocate Under Investigation by FBI · · Score: 2

    The documents were heavily sensored??????
    What, they had little microphones, ntc's and lightsensitive diodes on the bloody thing? Come on people, I don't expect perfect english from anyone, especially those who do not have english as their first language, but I draw the line when it starts to take other meanings...

    (Before anyone feels the need to state this: I realise sreeram is innocent he just cut and pasted it, this criticism is meant for whoever wrote the article)

    Do you two by any chance write those weird messages for fortune?

  10. Re:This is far more worrying than id's thing on Cursor Software Tracks You On Web · · Score: 2

    Sure, but do you stop persecuting thieves because there are murderers?

  11. Re:Such Thing as Nothing? on Evidence for a Flat Universe? · · Score: 3

    I think we al would have a hard time doing that, just think about how hot it is!

  12. Re:yes... on Evidence for a Flat Universe? · · Score: 2

    Only if we do a sketch about deceased parrots first.

  13. Ufie on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 4

    Ufie still have a BBS, and they run tradewars. They even have prizes at the moment. Sadly, no free t-shirts ;-).

    have a look at http://bbs.ufies.org/ and telnet://bbs.ufies.org

  14. Re:Question on Interview: KDE Developers Answer Your Questions · · Score: 2

    I think your refering to AAlib.. Very cool stuf, they even made quake (1) run in text mode. Someone has been out of his straightjacket too long :-).

  16. Re:FUD on Possible EU Embargo on Pentium III · · Score: 2

    I never claimed eating paint is as bad for your health aa getting run over by a truck, but it is an enourmous understatement to claim that lead is "a bit on the poisonous side".

  17. Re:Pentium III Random Number Generator NSA Backdoo on Possible EU Embargo on Pentium III · · Score: 2

    Actually, the P3 has some sort of built-in random generator... It measures the amount of some sort of radiation of something.. dunno what, should be lots of info about it, search the intel site...

  18. Re:If this bothers you... on Possible EU Embargo on Pentium III · · Score: 2

    I don't know if you where awake at the time, but AFAIK all those MoBo settings can be bypasssed.

  19. Re:Lead paint is nice on Possible EU Embargo on Pentium III · · Score: 2

    A bit one the poisonous side, just like getting run over repeatedly by a large truck can give minor health problems.

    Is the eicar.com 'virus' I real virus? I believe not, it's just a com file containing a standardized signature.

  21. Re:Who needs organized cryptography, neway?? on Details About New Crypto Export Regulations · · Score: 2

    Actually, a text message should stand out like a sore thumb in a random stream, even if it is substituted. Try reading applied cryptography.

  22. Re:Far More Sophisticated than "Key Phrases" on Spies in the Forests · · Score: 2

    Well, great. From now on all terrorists add "bombs iraq nuclear assasination" to their .sig's, and nobody notices them.

  23. Utter ******* on Nothing But Net - For Five Days · · Score: 2

    Someone hasn't been paying attention. The article says that this is where we're going, according to all the studies. However, I think it's going to be a long time before we start doing daily shopping online.... I am more or less constantly online, but when I need food, I still go to the shop. And I don't see that changing soon.

  24. Re:ingenuity?! on Y2K: Fuel the Panic, the NBC Movie · · Score: 2

    Programmers then abreviated "the year 2000 problem" to "the Y2K problem", exactly the sort of thinking that got us into this mess.

    I agree, that's why I wrote "Let's hope they don't get it", not "Them ******** bastards, let them rot in hell for this".
