  1. Re:Still no bluetooth rechargable mouse on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 1

    The MX1000 actually does have an on/off switch.

  2. Re:Sure, but don't miss the obvious on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Different channels can look better or worse because they can change the compression on each channel on the fly. Of course the pay services will look better. And on DirecTV, you'll notice that the FX channel is crystal clear. I wonder why...

  3. Re:Service Patch 2 on Latest SP2 News · · Score: 1

    It's not a matter of Symantec's program not being recognized, it's that the program isn't reporting it's status to the Security Center. You need to download a patch from Symantec to fix that.

  4. Re:Adobe Audition on Sampling Short Sequences From Long MP3 Recordings? · · Score: 1

    Audition is the first thing that came to mind for me too. It's the obvious choice.

  5. Re:I'm going to be laughing at this one for days on XP Starter Edition Examined · · Score: 1

    The "file manager" as you call it is Explorer.exe. Internet Explorer is iexplore.exe.

    Never? They disabled raw sockets in SP2.

  7. Re:objective? on An Objective Review of UnixWare 7.1.4 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why? Just because someone casts Windows in a favorable light, they automatically lose their objectivity?

  8. Re:Does anyone use IE anymore? on Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE · · Score: 1

    Well, my site has been tested in all of the non-IE browsers I listed in my post, and it renders perfectly in all of them. Now, explain that.

  9. Re:Does anyone use IE anymore? on Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE · · Score: 1

    Those numbers are still the same today. I am the web guy at a radio station with a pretty popular website. The current percentage of non-IE browsers used to access the site is 2.69%. That includes Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firefox, and Safari. The most popular non-IE browser is Netscape 7.1, with 0.76%.

    Yes, actually I do. So go fuck yourself, twat.

    The pity is that you actually missed getting the FP by two minutes. And that you don't know how to spell "pity".

  12. Well, so much for that on Doom 3 Web Site Now Operational · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I hope you had your fill of the website for a while. Now that you've posted it on Slashdot, you won't be able to get to it until this story goes down the page a little bit.

  13. Re:Effect of Windows XP Service Pack 2. on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'm definitely going to have to trust msoftsucks, who uses the terms "WinBlows" and "M$" over countless security experts. Who needs things like facts, when msoftsucks can tell you that SP2 can be exploited in 3 out of 9 ways! Thanks for the great info msoftsucks!

  14. Re:New features, yes. on Evaluating Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2 · · Score: 1

    The Security Center isn't designed to actively protect against anything. It's there to let you know the status of the software that's doing the protecting. IE's new features are what will protect against spyware.

  15. Re:great idea, but would never work... on Use an iPod Mini to Broadcast Pirate Radio · · Score: 1

    Actually, most radio stations are playing WAV files over the air. It's all done with computers these days.

  16. Re:XP vs 2000 on WinXP SP2 Sacrifices Compatibility for Security · · Score: 1

    Obviously you've never had any experience with product activation, besides reading Slashdot FUD about how you'll have to ask Microsoft for permission to upgrade your graphics card. That is quite simply not the case. Product activation takes all of 10 seconds when you first boot-up the computer, and unless you make some MAJOR changes in your hardware (more than upgrading a few cards), you'll never be bothered with it again.

  17. Re:Lawsuit! on DirecTV Extortion Program stopped by EFF · · Score: 1

    You look like a fool throwing "ASIC" around like that. ASIC stands for Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, and is not what you read and write when working with a DirecTV access card. The ASIC is only used to calculate the decryption keys for the video packets.

  20. Re:Limited use if proprietary on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't Microsoft's idea to allow unlicensed copies of Windows to get security patches, either.

    Actually, it wasn't. It was just a dumb employee spouting off about something he knew nothing about. SP2 will not be allowed to install on pirated versions of XP. This includes versions that were installed using a keygen.

  21. Re:Actually... on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    Umm. No, this "feature" only applies to some internet plugins, not regular apps on windows. You must be confused between apps and signed "drivers".

    Actually, on SP2, it does apply to regular apps.

    I rack up about a gig worth of email each year and I just dump it to a CD for archiving.

    Where can I purchase these CDs that are able to hold a gig of data? The largest ones I've ever seen only hold 700 megs.

    Those chips are not rated for space. Radiation hardening is important from what I understand.

    Only if the device is going to be used in an area that receives radiation. Don't forget, people aren't radiation hardened, either. The ship protects them from radiation, so they don't have to wear spacesuits all the time.

    Aruge about the wording all your want, but the fact is that it's not a beta test. Nice to see you using the veneral "M$" too. Just shows your level of maturity.

  25. Re:And that will be the standard computer on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    BTW, as an official Longhorn beta tester, I can confirm that this story is not a hoax.

    As someone who knows what they're talking about, I can confirm that you're full of shit. Longhorn is still in early alpha stages. It's nowhere near beta, and the thought of getting beta testers together hasn't even entered Microsoft's mind yet.
