  1. Re:How to stop this bill on SSSCA Introduced in Senate · · Score: 1
    Split infinitive:

    Do not make a damn fool out of yourself and put on a tie.


    Does this mean Do not put on a tie, as it will make a fool of you, or Do not make a fool of yourself, put on your tie.

    I'm really not sure which one you meant

  2. Evangelion on tv - been there, done that on New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    Its been shown two or three times here in Aus ^_^

  3. Not quite that easy on Censoring Australian Censors' Blacklist · · Score: 1

    Its not quite as easy as scanning the entire IP range. That leaves out all the vhosts out there. If you're blocking by domain names/URL's, and an IP hosts multiple domains, the IP is fine, its the specific request for this resource on this host that is blocked, not this host.

  4. Business Patent... on This Laptop Will Self-Destruct · · Score: 1
    Don't use semtex, that would be to specific. It would limit you later.

    "a method whereby electronic devices have specially designed cavities that are packed with an explosive agent that can be triggered by a specially coded transmission or by a switch that is activated when it detects intrusive force."

  5. Different DVD hacks on Time Warner To Change DVD Region Coding System? · · Score: 1
    Theres actually more than just the region zero hack for multi region. A lot of multi-region DVD players query the disc for the region they expect to be played at. The disc responds "No, I'm a region X disc, you can't play me". The player then sets itself to region X and asks again. Strangely enough, it works.

    What this sounds like is the disc has two sections. Section one is in bizarro region proteccted format - its a screenshot of "You have been bad" - returned when the DVD player asks for that section. Section two plays as normal on a hardwired region set. Hopefully thats all these are. Of course, it will probably work fine on anyone who has the 'menu pick a region' mod, as opposed to the 'ultra lazy query' mod.
