  1. Re:Great Grammar on Symantec Acquires @Stake · · Score: 1
    That's a typo. I believe they meant:
    McAfee rival Symantec has gone out and bought up their very own bunch of hackers, @Stake.
    instead of:
    McAfee rival Symantec has gone out a bought up their very own bunch of hackers, @Stake.



    What a dumbass.

  3. Re:Startup Cop on Analysis of Spyware · · Score: 1

    Another method that i've found to work well is to rename the parent directory. The files are still loaded into memory, and therefore stay happy because they're running. Reboot, and Shift+Del.

    bt.etree.org

    Go there and sort the tracker list by 'served'. Look at all of the torrents starting in June. There are over a dozen filesets there, many over 1GB, that have been served 1000 or more times. Heck, just look at the front page! This is one VERY active tracker site. And it's all legal lossless audio too.

    these lawsuits do nothing more than publicize the fact that you can download music illegally from the internet. It's kinda funny in an ironic way.

  10. Spyware Component Records? on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 1

    Whats the most spyware components that any of you have found and removed from a computer? Mine's around 3000. That's right. We have a thing around here where running Ad- Aware and the like is more of a game. People bring in their computers, and immediately run Ad- Aware and spybot on them. I hold the current record in the store.

    Not only that, but if he RTFA, he would've noticed that the hack involves using a Win2K or XP box to get the Binary for the firmware update.

  13. They should franchise... on Gateway To Close All Retail Stores · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it would be a good idea for Gateway to franchise out their existing base of Country Stores. That way they could turn a liability into an asset, moving the control of inventory, property, etc. to the franchisees yet still getting a slice of the pie.

    If gateway gives some freedom to franchisees, they could become very competitive in the PC service area, offering cheap rates(i.e. flat rates). This is a niche yet to be filled, IMO. There are thousands of home users(and small businesses) with out of warranty PC's that need caring. People want to do it cheaply. End of story.

  14. Dupe.... on Microsoft FUD Machine Aims at OpenOffice.org · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had to think for a sec. to figure out why the link to that .pdf was a different color than the rest. ;-)
    I'll give this submitter credit though, he seems to have done his homework a little better than the previous submitter.

    Which brings me to an interesting question. What's better- quick and dirty news or informative, slightly delayed news? I'll take the latter, fer sher dude.

    wasnt the 'sx' to designate that there was no multiplier on the FSB? the 'dx' designated a multiplier of 2 initially, and later on they just included the multiplier in the model name 486 dx4/100.

  20. Re:Give it a break guys on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    2 counterpoints:

    1) Unfortunately, people who are even somewhat security conscious never even considered Win98 an option. And people who do end up getting hacked, etc. Most could care less if it doesn't disrupt their daily porn surfing routine.

    2) Redhat is not leaving the desktop market, they are not calling their desktop product redhat anymore. Sheesh, how many times do we have to say it.

    And to all of the people who have been saying that WinXP wont run on a 400 MHz celeron with 192 mb ram: It runs OK if properly configured. I will admit that they definately not of thinking 66MHz FSB systems when they designed XP. Wanna see bad? Someone once brought a P100 in to my store that had XP on it. And people used to rag on me because I put WinNT 4.0 on my 486 dx/2 66. I said goddamn!

  23. Cosponsors of this bill on Who Owns The Facts? · · Score: 1

    http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:HR032 61:@@@L&summ2=m&#status

    If one is local to you, I urge you to write them and tell them to discourage this bill.

    One word in the article that unnerves me is assert. This means that no proof necessary, we say it's ours: IT'S OURS. PERIOD>. Applied to common knowledge, in this case. So what if they've filtered out all of the 35-year-olds who masturbate to pictures of their mothers, that may qualify as common knowledge too.

    The link to the .gov site isn't much as far as telling you what the bill actually does. the second link is better, although biased.


    whoa. started out as a karma whoring post, but i may have actually had a point.
    final thoughts? The mere concept of this bill is insane, and I'm just plain pissed off about it.
