    Oh cool, so I will still get those e-mails from 'sexykitten69', telling me how she put hew new pics up on the web, but isn't sure if she got my e-mail address right.

    ...not that I mind. :-D

    Well, apparently there wasn't much Privilege Separation going on, or you would never have found out.

  6. Re:Use open source in government on Touch Screen Voting Industry Circling Wagons · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He got in because of the 'old-sk00l' methods, and how reliable they are

    I call bullshit on you.

    George W. Bush won the 2000 election under the current American Electoral System. Sure, Gore may have won the popular vote, but that doesn't directly decide who the president is in this country.

    The mix-up in Florida was because people couldn't figure out a simple ballot. It was decided by the powers that be that Florida's electoral votes would go to Bush (well, that's a generalization, but the same idea).

    The moderators would have a better time with this if there was a Score: -1, Conservative.

    Wait I thought the government was bad? Especially the republicans, Lott, that is.... someone fill me in.

    We Mac users never make mistakes, therefore, we don't need a backspace key.

  14. Re:Son of a bitch. on Testing The Right To Resell Downloaded Music · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you got owned.

    As of 4:55EST, this thing is going for $9,700.

    At this rate, the iTunes Music Store is going to make people millionaires, I mean really, we're looking at almost a 1,000,000% ROI.

  16. Re:Worth the risk? on Fuel Cells To Appear In Laptops In 2004 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm just surprised that Apple isn't on top of this. The battery is the heaviest component of a laptop, and this thing has the potential to drop the weight of a standard desktop replacement laptop to like 3 pounds, which would be freakin' sweet.

    It's going to be the CD/DVD drive that will be mitigating factor in laptop size, that is, until we all get on board with smaller, alternative media, like USB memory keys or smart cards of some sort.

    This would also have amazing applications in other devices, as parent mentions. The day I can drive from home to school (~400 miles) without buying gas is the day that I will buy an alternative-fuel car.

    Think using PHP to squirt a table in one DB into anther one.

    Oh man, that is sooooo cheating.

  20. Re:Rpm find on Sites Shut Down to Protest Software Patents · · Score: -1, Troll

    These site shutting down in protest is not very professional. This is one of the problems with the free software community, politics plays too heavy of a role in their actions.

    If I go to set up a Linux-doodad for a client, and I can't download WINE because the authors are making a big stink about software patents, then guess what? Here comes Windows.

    Moderators, do your worst.

  21. Re:gee? on RIAA Tracking Songs by MD5 Hashes · · Score: 1

    It would still be possible for her to have music with an md5 hash the same as a file on the Napster network. If they were ripped with the same encoder/bitrate/id3 tag as the Napster version, it's possible for md5 to be the same.

    This may actually be an interesting legal test on the security of md5 itself. I can see lawyers arguing over collisions in the algorithm, and how a collision can help a defendant escape conviction, or simply invalidate md5 as a hashing algorithm that's "court friendly".

    Whoa, that's gonna cost them in SCO licenses.
