  1. Re:I work for a state government IT department on A Myspace Lockdown - Is It Possible? · · Score: 1

    As far as the cost, well, this is the state. We took our budget at gunpoint from the taxpayers, and we'll spend it as though it came from a bottomless well of dollar bills.

     
    Fixed that for you. No thanks necessary.

  2. Re:Corporate IP infringements on Audio Watermark Web Spider Starts Crawling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Although the article says the spider is not crawling P2P nets, I can't help but wonder if Gnutella is exempt, as each Gnutella client is a specialized HTTP server, if memory serves... I've definitely had Gnutella clients in my google results, although it's mostly Shareaza users.

  3. Re:Wall my ass on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember that holy water does the trick on Death in the first Castlevania. He's quite a challenge in the new DS castlevania on Hard Mode, too. (Playing as Richter, of course.)

  4. Wall my ass on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 1

    Stuck?

    Then it's time to either grind levels or get better, depending on the game.

    Alternatively, hit gamefaqs or bust out the cheat codes, if you lack fortitude.

  5. Re:That reminds me on Your House Is About To Be Photographed · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they'll be driving around with video cameras. I've seen some "Help Wanted" ads in the local news magazine lately seeking drivers for a project that sounds very similar to this... good luck catching them in the act. You might have more luck getting the job of scanning your neighborhood and omitting your house. ;)

  6. Re:Likes country: emotionally stable on Personality Secrets in Your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Country: the music of tolerance.
    Doubtful at best, my friend.
  7. Re:Just fine if you don't need electronics on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 1

    But do they run linux?

  8. Re:You're unoriginal. on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 1

    Don't give Sugar Hill too much credit; it's common knowledge that Big Bank Hank cribbed his rhymes from Grandmaster Caz. Talk about old beef. ;)

  9. Re:How is this bribing? on Microsoft Bribing Bloggers With Laptops · · Score: 2, Funny

    "stereo" being here used to mean, "A sound system that uses two or more speakers, presenting sounds in a natural way from the directions in which they were picked up by two or more microphones." I just woke up :D.

  10. Re:How is this bribing? on Microsoft Bribing Bloggers With Laptops · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Typically, the record label doesn't also send a 5.1 surround stereo, and the game companies don't send a giant plasma tv, to aid in reviewing. Just a copy of the media is sufficient.

  11. Re:Controversial subjects on Wikipedia Founder Working on User-Powered Search · · Score: 1, Troll

    Results for controversial subjects will be just as accurate as those for more commonsensical topics: All search results will helpfully direct the user to discounted prescription drugs and aphrodesiacs. Contact information for local singles will also be provided. I daresay they shall be "hot".

  12. How about a vectrex? on Good Vintage Computers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A nice example of the rarely-seen-these-days vector monitor. Available for about $50 on ebay.

  13. Re:I'd prefer a less pre-loaded stance on Vista Security The 'Longest Suicide Note in History'? · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's no violation of physics. Microsoft assumes you'll upgrade your hardware along with Windows, so the law of conservation of energy is preserved.

  14. Re:I'd prefer a less pre-loaded stance on Vista Security The 'Longest Suicide Note in History'? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Also, I've always felt that we should encourage discussion of the very subjects mentioned. Give the flat-earth, holocaust-denying, "I didn't come from no monkey" zealots equal airtime, and they will discredit themselves far more effectively than any refutation ever could.

  15. Re:Yay fair use on TiVo File Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    have you tried either setting your tivo's clock ahead by one minute and/or setting your season passes to start recording one minute before the shows start?

    seems either of those would circumvent the cable box's screwup, but i'm not sure if tivo lets you set the clock manually or if it does so over the network...

  16. Re:The very same things which make us hate M$... on Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon · · Score: 0

    If they made comparing Gates to Hitler a crime, half of slashdot would become unpeople.

  17. Re:Games I would want to play on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 1

    Tack on Super Metroid, Tetrisphere, and Goldeneye:007, and you pretty much have my list. Also, I would recommend Contra III: The Alien Wars over the original.

  18. Re:Secret of Mana on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, Secret of Mana 2 is more beautiful and requires (allows) only two players.

  19. Re:zelda on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 1

    Amen. Let it be known that Majora's Mask is inferior to Ocarina of Time.

    Also, I'd like to put in a word for some good ol' Quake deathmatch before your tendons self-destruct. Bonus points if you're running the PainKeep mod.

  20. Re:A show trial in every sense. on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    Reading to children, actually.

    Booyah, my president's better than Saddam.

  21. Re:Please... on Teleportation Gets a Boost · · Score: 1

    Does the process require the original to be destroyed? If not, perhaps this knowledge could be used as readily for duplication as for teleportation.

  22. Re:I Don't Know, Man on Illumninatus! Author Needs Our Help · · Score: 5, Funny

    I haven't read any books by him, so maybe I'm really missing out on something. But instead of sending him money, I'd rather send him a letter advising him on how to live a better life throw a steady income job.

    You seem supremely qualified to comment, sir. I told Emily Dickinson practically the same thing: "Shut up with that emo shit. It's not paying the bills, and they're looking for a girl to do needlepoint in the village." Sadly, she didn't listen to me, and she died poor, alone, and unappreciated.

  23. Re:a true geek on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    alternatively, mod a microsoft xboulder and load it up with romsets.

  24. Re:Appropriate venue? on Administration Ignored Bin Laden Intel · · Score: 1

    If the subscribers went to another site, the ad revenue would still come in.
    If the advertisers cancelled, other advertisters could be found.
    If the majority of /.'s audience went to another site, it would crumple.

    Therefore, most of /. funds come from nonsubscribers like myself (except I block
    ads... what can you do?)

  25. Slightly offtopic... on Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox · · Score: 3, Interesting

    but why doesn't this story have a "from the ____ department" subheader?
