  1. Re:free? on Debian On DVD · · Score: 2, Informative

    $50, considering the CD version is a lot less it doesn't seem so enticing anymore :)

  2. Activation on Crashing Xbox Kiosks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm, perhaps they have not completed the required product activation ala WinXP :)

  3. Wow on Crashing Xbox Kiosks · · Score: 1

    I'm glad Microsoft has finally brought some "innovation" to the console world. They are only providing a feature that customers want!

  4. Ugh on Disney's Anti-File Swapping Cartoon · · Score: 1

    That show sucks anyways... No one watches it that I know of...

  5. Would They? on Security Issues with Windows 2000 Datacenter? · · Score: 1

    "Would anyone out there actually recommend Datacenter for corporate environments?" -- Sure, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, etc... ;)

  6. Re:Aspen Grove on More Domain Disputes Labeled 'Reverse-Hijacking' · · Score: 1

    Ah, someone who gets it! BTW, there is no way they registered it before the campground exsisted :)

  7. Re:Aspen Grove on More Domain Disputes Labeled 'Reverse-Hijacking' · · Score: 1

    True, but the family was from SLC, not Colorado, and it *specifically* goes by the title "Aspen Grove", much like Aspen, CO does, there are aspens in more places than just Aspen, CO right?

  8. Aspen Grove on More Domain Disputes Labeled 'Reverse-Hijacking' · · Score: 1, Informative

    Aspen Grove is the name of a camping/recreation area in the canyons near Salt Lake City, Utah. While many people have aspen trees in the SLC area, I doubt the family registered the domain with their personal trees in mind, more likely that above said area.

  9. Re:Weird co-workers on Quirky Engineers Gone the Way of the Dinosaur? · · Score: 1

    Heh, I would be worried that he would want to "help" me sometime

  10. Re:Seems somewhat easy to overcome on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1

    Many of the newer clients are allowing you to block users as well... or just put riaa in your hosts.deny

  11. Re:DoS on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1

    Excellent point, my ISP will block the RIAA domain if incoming attacks are deteceted from it, or any other for that matter (that doesn't mean permanently, although if they are attacking frequently enough I would bet my money on it)...They are very, hmm, finicky about their bandwidth.

  12. Re:Here we go again on Napster Calls MusicNet Monopolistic; Judge Agrees · · Score: 1

    Wow, you put how I feel into words, I agree 100%. But what can we (or I for that matter) do about it that will make a difference, the RIAA seems to have a scorched earth policy, it's all their's, or nobody's.

  13. Ah on NASA to Go Commercial? · · Score: 1

    Just imagine, your out for a nice weekend camping trip and instead of that unsightly milky way blocking the view, you are greeted by familiar images of Coke, Intel, Tommy Hilfiger, and of course Microsoft. *This sky brought to in part by...*

  14. Re:doing the same to other movies? on Review: Zoolander · · Score: 1

    I agree with you on this point, although I believe that there was a movie soon to be released, (Arnold Schwarzenegger's new one I think) where there is a seen of the towers exploding, and of course it is being taken out. I believe that this should be the only reason for work prior to 9/11/01 to be edited. I believe that to have a movie have terrorists blow up the building is a disgrace to those who are victims. But we shouldn't erase any trace of its exsistence; especially to CGI in some cheesy replacements.

  15. Wow on A Computer Display in Ordinary Sunglasses? · · Score: 1

    Those are sweet, now all I need is a comp that will fit in your pocket - and run a decent amount of time between charges, and internet that will go anywhere that is affordable...

  16. Net? on Used ICBM Silo For Sale, "Cheap" · · Score: 1

    I hope it has more than 56k modem connection!

  17. hmm on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the middle finger usually signify the letters f&u not b?

  18. Oh Man on Compaq Recalls Notebook AC Adapters · · Score: 1

    Wonder if submitter is still with us to see repiles? Or perhaps he can't as he discontinued using it thus he has no power to use his computer?

  19. Umm on Black Death's Genome Cracked · · Score: 1

    Viri do not have cells, they only carry DNA, they have to take over your cells to reproduce...

  20. Re:This will go a long way towards vaccinations... on Black Death's Genome Cracked · · Score: 1

    The Bubonic plague is a bacteria, wouldn't decoding a virus be a lot different from a bacteria? A bacterium has many cells, while a virus is basically DNA inside carrier matter. A lot of viruses can go through a piece of glass, while bacteria can't usually penetrate a piece of paper. I would think that this good for anti-biotics of the future, but I for one hate to hear from the Doc when you get Strep Throat, "It's a virus, there's not much we can do besides normal sore throat medicine" ...Of course, I could way off, I'm not a biologist :)

  21. Re:Internet communities on DIY: Building A Wireless Freenet · · Score: 1

    They tried this in Utah... While I never had it, they got bought and shut down their service, now they sell the technology (http://www.airswitch.com/), I hear it was super fast, but their prices were outragous for basic features that come standard with DSL and cable, $50 for base service, $10 extra for 100 megabit local connection as opposed to 10 megabit - who cares, your internet speed will be exactly the same. It had some advantages such as games with other subscribers was great. I'm not sure if they used NAT or what (I know it was $20 more a month for a public IP), but you mentioned it, the problem I see with that is what happens when one or more person wants a specific port forwarded to them?

  22. Re:Turing would be turning in his grave ... on Man Pleads Guilty to Stealing Enigma Machine · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm, isn't this man now a circumvention device, better get the DMCA outta the holster!

  23. Re:The opening music..omg on Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions? · · Score: 1

    lol, man it must have been cold in that detox

  24. Size Matters on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 1
    The only thing bigger than John Ashcroft's ego is his all out crusade to turn America into a Communist country where corporate america rules.

  25. troll? on Evolution Bug-Hunt! · · Score: 1

    Troll? how is this a troll? What kind of drug is that moderator on? I agree with him, they need broader distro support, not just rpm based ones.
