  1. Burn all zips? on .ZIP Standard to Fragment? · · Score: 1

    So what will people do now? Use PNG instead.

    The format is close to zip (using lz77 and is lossless as far as I can tell) so the compression ratio should be about the same.

  2. Re:And the doctor on Novak Loses petswarehouse.com, Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Rambus, anyone?

  3. Re:Mozilla beware!! on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 1

    If the bank is running on IIS/Windows it would be much easier to just hack the bank than to try to crack the DRM.

  4. Add new client type, rinse, repeat on Blizzard/Vivendi Files Suit Against Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    This might just force them to stop recycling their six-year-old battle.net code and try something new.

    All they have to do to battle.net to add a new Blizzard game right now is add a new client type and maybe a byte or two different in a client check.

    Damn their insistance on using 6112/udp for a game port AND a server port.

  5. Re:Well, letsee here... on Sony Sells Defective, Damaging CDs in Eastern Europe · · Score: 1

    In either of those cases, it's going to hit a piece of equipment with an original disc.

    This method of CD playing is the case with the newer CD player app in Windows 2000, ME, XP and Windows Media Player 7. So anybody playing one of these bunk CD's might end up frying their computer.

    Doesn't that just give you that warm, fuzzy, feeling?

  6. Hard disk identification number, eh? on More About Copy Control on Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    These drives will be about as popular as the first generation of Intel's P3 processor.

    Didn't they learn how unpopular these kinds of things are from that farce?

    I don't plan on ever buying a Big Brother(tm) hard disk.

    What about software developers? I don't want to have to authenticate my program every time I compile the bugger.

  7. Re:NV20 on 3Dfx No More -- NVidia Purchases Video Card Maker · · Score: 1

    Don't they have to buy a board manufacturer and produce a single-GPU lame product first? Anybody for an NVoodoo3 PCI? Speaking of board manufacturers, does this mean STB will come back or is that liquefied, also? I'm still a bit irked at them for buying up the company that made my nice TNT video card.
