  1. Re:Linux support? on Phoenix Unveils Anti-Theft BIOS · · Score: 1

    geez So we are now going to have even more bloated bioses:) Bios stuff + Tcp/ip stack + dhcp client + dns client + ping. Great i think ill switch to http://www.linuxbios.org. Technically though I think this is more likely to be used in microsofts DRM implementation, just think instead of phoneix servers it connects to microsoft instead and if your not running windows **** then bam your hard drive gets wiped. Hrms does it literally get wiped because if it does I am sure you could stop it in time and get the hard drive out with only losing a few clusters.

  2. Re:Does it smear? on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    Urm I hate to say this but the newer inkjets do not smear, I did the test on a documant i freshly printed and it didnt smear

    Quote from orignal post: You can even send it to the printer and have it output every single iteration.. now that would be a fun prank." Send it to someone elses printer :) if you send it to your own you miss the point. Im going to try this at a office:)

  5. Cyberwar on RIAA Plans Cyberwar Effort · · Score: 1

    Ah well just will have to stop listening to music completly or at least only music that is free or some such. I don't buy cds for the simple reason that half of the stuff on the cds is complete and utter crap designed to fill a hour of playing time. The easiest way to put a hurting in the RIAAs pocket books is to not buy the cds and also not listen to them in mp3 format otherwise the US is going to be a police state within the next 10 years. Also what if someone with more money than the RIAA ie microsoft gets hacked by one of these worms couldnt they sue RIAA for DMCA violation:)

  7. Re:Advertizing == teh SATAN! on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 1

    Popup ads what are those. Seriously though I won't buy anything if the Ad is really obnoxius. I really hate the damn auto ads on tv every year that says this car can do 1 thing more than last years model who gives a damn. I also ignore these ads because I dont have any money to pay for the products they are advtising thanks to the current job market. I really think popup ads should be eliminated.

    Or you could just ignore them, banner/inpage ads dont really catch my eye but seeing as i have no money anyway. The advertisers arent going to be getting my buck anytime soon

  12. Re:What do the users have to say? on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 1

  13. User Error Replace user:) on UCSB Bans Windows NT/2000 in the Dorms · · Score: 1

    Now rember its not computers that are insecure its the USERS IE some people in those dorms probly only have ever used a computer for AOL, don't you think it'd cost less to educate the users, I am still seeing Nimba hits on all the boxes i admin, it seems like some users havent gotten the point!

  14. Re:You'll only screw yourselves... on The Two Towers Hits the Net · · Score: 1

    Id rather wait 4 months and see Nemisis instead The 2 towers really got overblown. I do truely think the movie industry needs to be revamped though, I do not belive this flim was leaked due to a security thing. I belive it was leaked due to some MPAA exec saying wow lets enact more stupid laws and take away the internet.

  17. Re:Options on AOL-Time/Warner's PVR to Skip Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    Ads what ads I don't see any ads. You don't need to skip any ads when your brain can do an brillant job of filtering them. It's the same with popup ads on the web I just ignore them even when their right in the middl of the page. Seriously though, has anyone noticed after an while 20000000000000000 ads about the ford escort makes you want to not buy one.
