  1. Re:Uhh.. logic hole. on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    ehmm, have you taken a good look at the charts lately? write some lyrics, find a blonde, put some clothes on her, convince her to take most of 'm off again, and yank some guy off a porn set to tape the whole thing.

  2. Re:How to be an American on Kazaa Sues Record Labels · · Score: 1

    Guns illegal = only people who don't respect the law have guns.

    ehmmm, you seem to be forgetting something here

    Guns illegal = only people with guns are either breaking or enforcing the law.

  3. Re:Oh yeah, they really 'consented' on Judge OKs Competitive Pop-Up Ads · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Ignorance is not an excuse. It pretty much boils down to "look left and right before crossing the street, don't let strangers take you somewhere and don't install anything without knowing what it is"

  4. Re:Clock speeds up on The Thermal Paste Revolution · · Score: 2, Informative

    the net amount of heat generated by the processor will remain the same, so I'd suggest moving either the box or your legs to solve that one...

    the Netherlands for example. Swiss law even allows the creation of copies for distribution to "family and close friends"

  6. Re:Not exactly on Castronova's Notes on Hacker Court · · Score: 1

    heh, if I encountered a more or less round object composed of green cheese full of craters I'd start leaping like hell too.

  7. Re:This is unexpected? on Desktop Linux Sliding in Under the Radar? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    assuming for a second that the person involved is actually able to install Linux(not stuffing a CD-Rom and/or floppy drive into a machine does wonders) and has sufficient rights under Win2k/XP the answer would be to reduce the main partition a bit in size using for example partition magic, and then happily installing mandrake on the side. Red hat might be an option too, but that'd require installing NTFS "support" separately, which, otoh, isn't all that hard to do either...

    From a personal perspective, my previous employer didn't give a rat's ass what OS I ran, as long as it ran the software we used. The reply I got when I asked if I could was something like "oh sure, but you do it on your own time, and if it breaks, don't come whining to us..."

  8. Re:More and more... on Linksys and the GPL, Again · · Score: 1

    actually, this is dependant on the laws of whatever country you happen to be in...if, like i thought it was, the gpl is global, then your argument is void.

  9. hah! on Airborne Video With an R/C helicopter · · Score: 5, Funny

    MacGyver would be jealous

    Only if they built it from some branches, a trashcan that was lying around somewhere and an old carburator from a dead moped.
  10. Re:Copyright issues on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    when you develop a car, do you get IP issues over the books on mechanics you studied during your education? In this case I'd say the texts are study material...

  11. Re:Or a "culturally superior" Parisan Frechman. on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    this just in...the french government has decided to banish the word "e-mail" from all official documents and releases. It will be replaced by courriel, which is a correlation of courrier electronique(electronic mail).

    And the worst part is, this isn't even a troll...

  12. Re:Obsolete? on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    heh, the french have the same joke, starring themselves as the latter party.

  13. Re:Uh, but? on Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay · · Score: 1

    I'll bite...when have any of these parties actually had a representative in the government? And when the heck did LN become fascist? You have GOT to be kidding...

    You prefer married hands? :-)

  15. Re:12? Pshaw! on Want 12Mbits/sec for $21? Move to Japan. · · Score: 1

    hold on, so one moment you're boasting about gigabits, and the next you give an example of 160KBps downloads? I mean, unless you have 20 of those downloads running simultaneously that's hardly impressive...

  19. Re:At least sanity still prevails in some places on EU Moves Towards Single European Patent Standard · · Score: 1

    I couldn't care less what can be patented in the U.S. As far as I'm concerned the USians patent the sun itself, as long as we still get to sunbathe(you didn't hear me saying it's a GOOD idea) for free, thank you very much...

  20. Re:Bill don't make any more Win Medias... on Bill Gates, Entertainment God? · · Score: 1

    trolling or stupid? Most of my software runs just fine. The few programs that don't do so because they're complete crap in the first place...I'm not saying there isn't as lot of bad things to be said about MS, but for exactly that same reason I fail to see the point in making ludicrous statements like that...

  21. Re:Alreay run into this... on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The proecdure now is slap the drive in a real computer, suck down her documents, dd the image back over to the old drive. Reboot, hook it to the cable modem and do the updates while marking every reboot. Once its stable, I copy her files back, mirror the disk over again.

    Ehmmm, ever considered using separate partitions for data and OS? Makes life a hell of a lot easier. And yes, you can tell Windows that D:\Stuff is where all the documents go...
