    Sure they do, but their DNS has been as spotty as comcast's lately anyway, from all the hearsay I've seen.

    Reading things on their faq, like "intercepts phishing attempts" and "corrects typos"

    No thanks, I'll just use my work's DNS servers from anywhere I go, since we're not douchebags and don't want to make more income by hijacking other people's surfing.

    Also, Earthlink has been doing this for months, which is why I recently replaced the DNS servers that have been burned into my skull since working there in 1998.

    It's not necessarily tv, it could also be movies or video games or etc...

    If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times, wash your hands after eating cheetos.

  7. Re:Sure - Just One More Thing on Giving the Gift of Ubuntu Linux for Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I usually think that if a desktop environment needs to be hardware accelerated to be silky smooth, it's probably bloated (one of the reasons I'm not a fan of compiz..)

  8. Re:huh on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, because our government so obviously cares about the Constitution.

  9. huh on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Maybe if we adopted stringent population controls like china did, we'd be better off.

    I wonder what would happen if China decided to relax those controls, I'm relatively sure the population would explode and almost double within a decade.

    Or it could be that it pretty much jumped the shark after richard dean anderson left (although I do like ben browder, stargate is not his show) and the Ori are the stupidest villain they've come up with yet?

    On PVP servers, "contested territory" is FFA pvp. Wetlands numbers among the contested zones (basically, unless you zone in and the zone name is green, it's contested. If it's red, you've entered enemy territory.

  17. Re:And what's wrong with porn?! on Indigo Prophecy Creator - No More 'Porn Narrative' · · Score: 4, Informative

    Watch the porn Pirates and you'll find that even porn can have good narrative strength. It's the first porn movie I ever watched where I was actually engaged by the plotline moreso than the actual sex.

    An Athlon 64/FX/X2 memory controller is on the CPU, running at at least 1/2 the cpu clock speed, so it has shitloads of memory bandwidth.

  20. Re:Before long... on Hackers Serving Rootkits with Bagles · · Score: 1

    Funny, anytime I plug my USB key into my computer, WinXP asks me if I want to do something with it.

    I'm sure if you dropped an autoplay.inf file on the root of the drive, Windows could be tricked into executing it.

    I think he realizes that once we establish our political dominance (by actually, y'know, voting...) that the outdated and broken social security systems (and many other social programs...) are going to get a major reform, along with stamping out what I like to call "legislated morality".

    The major problem I see facing that is that a) many geeks I know don't vote, for reasons I can't explain, and b) many of those same geeks are (like myself) decidedly childfree.

    I figured that after Jon Stewart emasculated him on Crossfire people would have written the bow tie wearing blowhard off for what he is -- a moron.

  24. Re:Problem with that logic... on New AT&T Acquires BellSouth · · Score: 1

    The prices may be the same, but what you get for the price certainly isn't. If I remember, I was paying $50/mo for 100 minutes in 1998, with no free long distance or night/weekend minutes, and no benefits like text messaging, etc.

    Now, for $70, that gets me two lines, 700 shared anytime minutes, and unlimited night/weekend minutes, and unlimited in-network calls/text messages (VZW, which is the provider all of my friends and family use, so that's convenient)

    Prices don't have to drop for the "bang for the buck" ratio to go up.
