  1. Re:Appeal on Blizzard Stomps Bnetd in DMCA Case · · Score: 1

    bnetd doesn't have keychecking, so pirated copies of Diablo2 could be played on it without penalty.

    That was Blizzard's major issue, and one I can agree with.

  2. Re:Couple of things. on TiVo and Netflix Hook Up · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I doubt people are going to keep these movies around on their TiVo indefinitely. Besides, how big could it be? TV recording is understood to be ~1gb/hour, one can assume these movies will be in the TiVo format, so the same size rules would apply. I doubt anything is larger than 4gb.

    Besides, if you run out of room you can always hack your TiVo.

  3. Re:CS Source on CS: Source Half-Life's Only Multiplayer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doom 3 is three cd's, and the final product is approximately 1.5-2gb of disk space. One assumes six cd's are engine, content, content, content and more content.

    Maybe the sixth disc contains magical pixie dust that makes your computer able to run it all.

  4. Re:/.'ing Those News Sites on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 1

    Have you never actually seen Spaceballs?

    It's not 3!

    It's 22/7!

  7. Re:That's just business.. on Does Google Censor Chinese News? · · Score: 1

    Four hundred and change, actually. Rome was only a major world power for approximately six hundred years.

  8. Re:not quite so hard... on Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm relatively sure that all of the online gambling sites use either Flash or Java applets to display cards and such. I wouldn't think they'd make it so easy as to give easy access to card names.

  9. Re:Been there, Done that on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    It's very hard to find three eyewitnesses who are willing to testify in most capital trials.

  10. Re:Been there, Done that on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    The "Express Lane" only applies when three credible eyewitnesses name you as the guilty party.

  11. Re:But at which cost? on A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator · · Score: 1

    We could, but we didn't, unless we had user's explicit permission.

    Granted, this was over four years ago. I'm not sure their policies remain the same.

  12. Re:But at which cost? on A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator · · Score: 1

    When I worked there, we had access to all user's passwords (how else could we tell a user what their password was if/when they forgot it?)

    The only passwords we did not have access to were employee accounts, who we *could* have access to, they'd just be notified instantly.

  13. Re:No such limit. on Uncompressed TV Video Over USB 2.0 from ATI · · Score: 1

    ATI's windows driver issues have been fixed for some time now, at least since the advent of Catalyst.

  14. Re:Correction on Federal Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 1

    How is what you typed and what's in his sig any different?

  15. Re:Hmm, not too fond of Redmond? on AOL Will Not Support Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    or, if you actually do research, everyone. FreeIpods.com is actually legit, I know three people who've gotten their ipods. I'm waiting for mine now.

  16. Re:final fantasy ports on PS2 Final Fantasy 7 Spinoff · · Score: 4, Informative

    erm.

    most of them *have been*

    Final Fantasy Origins = FF1 on the PSX
    Final Fantasy Chronicles (FF4 (2 in the US) and Chrono Trigger)
    Final Fantasy Anthology (FF5 and FF6 (3 in the US)

    I own all three, gladly.

  17. Re:So will it be Mozilla's fault... on Critical Mozilla, Thunderbird Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    It works to update extensions now, at the very least.

    (at least those submitted to update.mozilla.org )

  18. Re:Personal Responsible Corporations? on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    Tell privately owned companies that they have to file the same paperwork and pay the same taxes that public companies do, based simply off income.

  19. Re:Or... on Mysterious Force Affects Pioneer 10 & 11 Probes · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Spelljammer D&D campaign setting. :P

  21. Re:Are you sure? on Serial ATA for Mini Hard Drives Planned · · Score: 1

    It does if you get WD Raptors, especially if you RAID them.

  23. Re:As soon as I can... on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    Install XP to it without having to hit f6.

    The last time I installed XP or 2k to a RAID controller, it wouldn't let me tell it about a driver CD.

    My Abit NF7S came with a floppy, drivers are on CD too, but the floppy is necessary for installing a Windows OS.

  24. Re:As soon as I can... on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    that's "native" SATA, where the controller is part of the southbridge, and not a seperate controller chip on the PCI bus.

    not horribly common (yet)

  25. Re:As soon as I can... on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    Supposedly, you can slipstream RAID drivers into the CD, but I've never seen anyone get it to work.
