  1. Re:DRM on Sony May Sell HD-DVDs · · Score: 1

    You do gotta remember Sony isn't 1 small company of 500 people. Really is a case of right hand doesn't know the left hand type of thing.

  2. Re:$4 a person? on Curbing Energy Use In Appliances That Are Off · · Score: 1

    Yea, and there's probably a huge Cost of Living difference between there and here too.

    $4 there probably goes alot further then $4 here.

    Now in the US, how many torrent trackers were forced to shutdown? Free speech my ass.

  9. Re:One Reason Alone is Enough on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 1

    "In the IPv6 case he gets a public IP address routable from the world. Some number of seconds later the box(es) are spam zombies."

    Yo you know how large IPv6 space is? And how long it'd take for a randomly scanning exploiter to find a single computer, much less a vulnerable one?

    Indeed, even the lowliest of Dell servers running Linux or FreeBSD can easily handle 5 million email messages, even if sent in a very short period of time.


    Erm, i'd severely doubt that, let me email 5,000,000 messages in 5 minutes and see if your server/network dies.

    As soon as you have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the EULA, this CD will automatically install a small proprietary software program (the "SOFTWARE") onto YOUR COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE is intended to protect the audio files embodied on the CD, and it may also facilitate your use of the DIGITAL CONTENT. Once installed, the SOFTWARE will reside on YOUR COMPUTER until removed or deleted. However, the SOFTWARE will not be used at any time to collect any personal information from you, whether stored on YOUR COMPUTER or otherwise.


    Umm, nice to see that you didn't read the EULA either.
  22. Reminds me of something I did on More on Sony's "DRM Rootkit" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Kinda off topic, but somewhat related. Reading through the article it talks about how it hid complete folders from a directory listing. I accidently did that once when i was backing up a hard drive to another one, at first I thought I lost it, but magically I could open it directly. Was hidden to Explorer, dir, and ls -a through cygwin. No clue on how I did it in the first place, much less how to enable/disable it.

    Any ideas from the /. crowd?
