  1. Re:Mirror anyone? on NSA Security Guide for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    (puts on tinfoil hat)

    Yes, but how do we know this is the *real* pdf, and not some nefarious, elaborate man-in-the-middle tampered pdf, full of info that will make your computer less secure???

    (puts on second tinfoil hat)

    For that matter, how can we be sure the original pdf isn't really designed to make your computer more accessable to the NSA???

    (really, though, thanks for the link, although there really probably is some statement about security in the fact that I'm downloading a guide from an untrusted source;)

  2. Re:Class Action Lawsuit? on Presidential Candidates Arrested at Debates · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great idea! File suit against the CPD. Just make sure you do it fast enough to get to try and serve the papers for your suit at the third debate.

    Though I hear it's tough to get in and actually serve those papers....

    ...it's French... apparently the French don't have the letter "A"...


    That's because they live in "Frence", somewhere between "Spein" and "Germeny" (and they go skiing in the Elps)
  4. Re:Who will be the first litigant? on Defcon 12 Running Man Contest · · Score: 1

    Do you mean "Who will be the first to piss off a bunch of computer hackers"?

    I'd guess that with no deep pockets to tempt them, they'll all let that dog continue to snore.

    mmm.... burger....

    (munch munch)

    Pastry??? What the hell kind of burger is this?

    (Homer throws pastry burger on floor)

    mmm... floor pastry....

    (couldn't resist. but seriously, pastry in a burger? and 2 pieces no less? must be a european thing ;)

  7. Re:TCO on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    IKIAGTBMDFT but...

    Pretend I'm new around here, somebody explain how answering parent's question is redundant? Or do the mods think LK is really asking what TCO means??

    Oh hell, time to get out the clue bat out and start swinging...

  9. Re:I don't agree with some of the complaints... on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: 1

    The Jefferson center is censuring the SC HoR for exercising their freedom of speech in...

    No, if you read the article the point is that the SC HoR (a government body) does NOT have freedom of speech (at least not in the same sense as an individual). They are NOT free to single out individuals for punishment for lawful speech. This is the very crux of the First Amendment, isn't it???

    I realize that passing a resolution may not be the same as passing a law, but the Muzzle awards are dedicated to "Mr. Jefferson's admonition that freedom of speech 'cannot be limited without being lost.'" I believe the Jefferson Center is correct in believing the SC HoR is trying to limit free speech.

    Keep in mind the difference between "Legislator" and "Legislature", especially with regard to what each is and isn't allowed to do.

  10. Re:How could this one slip through the net?? on Mario Kart Double Dash - GameCube Savior Or Rehash? · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that Diddy Kong Racing was underappreciated. Even my wife loved to play Diddy Kong. I think the tracks were more diverse and imaginative without being too complex. And the controls just worked better for me.
    For a while Nintendo listed "Donkey Kong Racing" on their list of upcoming titles, but that disappeared after Rare got assimilated. Quite the bummer, since it appeared to be the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing, in spirit if not in official designation.
    I'd love to see Nintendo port Diddy Kong to the GC ala Zelda OOT, etc. but looking through the comments here I'm guessing there just aren't enough DKR fans to justify it :(

    OTOH, I am going to rent MKDD tonight and see if maybe it's a worthy successor after all. I'm just afraid managing 2 characters will overwhelm my wife. She prefers simpler gameplay. Maybe we'll enjoy playing on the same kart if that's possible.

  11. Re:Bloody Hell on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    BZZZZTTT - wrong answer.

    Stewie was voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane (who also voiced Peter & Brian). Listening to him switch voices on the commentary track was pretty cool!

    I wish (P)Rick Mayal was doing more US - available work. Loved the Young Ones & one episode I caught on Bravo a couple years back of some series he did. If you mean that Rick Mayal. Seems like there might have been another...

  12. Re:Use Sendmail on Deleting SMTP Servers from Mail.app in Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    and don't forget the obligatory "In Soviet Russia, unused SMTP servers delete YOU" comment.
