  2. Within 20 years? on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 2, Insightful

  4. Re:Cars, DVDs, what's the difference? on Congress May Force Revealing of Car Computer Secrets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The difference lies in the fact that with codes to your car, it can be serviced independently.

    With the codes to your DVD, you can make unlimited copies, and do anything and everything with them.

    Try doing that to your car when you get it's codes.

    But what do you do when someone takes your entire web site and hosts it in a foreign country?


    Well I post the offending link on /., of course, and rest assured, minutes later, it has been taken down!
  6. Re:Finally.. an end to religion on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never heard of the Raelians, have you?

  7. Quite lofty goals... on SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    And following suit from the RIAA, they'll probably make it a 12 year old.

    Microsoft fired the blogger, despite an offer to take the posting down.

    and from his the fired guy's website:

    I would certainly have preferred that they simply request that I take the offending post down (which I would have done in a heartbeat), but for whatever reasons, they chose not to take that route.

  13. Re:Series 2 on Book Review: Hacking TiVo · · Score: 1

    Actually I've read on tivocommunity.com that a method using a two kernel monte that permits the series 2 hacking. It looked to me, it looks more complex than the equivalent for the original series however.

    I have to concur wiht TimCrider's suggestion. I've been using FireBird & ThunderBird for several months now.

    Just my $0.02
