  1. captive NTFS on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, linux has had the "captive" driver, which uses the NTFS.SYS off the XP partition to be able to mount NTFS as rw, so why can't OSX do the same thing easily?

  2. Re:OMG! on Make Your OWN OMG Ponies SIGNS!!! WITH GLITTER!!! · · Score: 1

    Moses wouldn't have liked it. Macaroni isn't kosher.

  3. Re:Now that's just silly on Microsoft's Not So Happy Family · · Score: 2, Informative

    Emacs!

  4. House of the dead, etc... on Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring · · Score: 1

    How about for works that I've not pirated, but just hated after spending hard earned cash on them?

    I'd **love** to kick Uwe Boll's ass for ruining so many good video games.

  5. Mod parent +1 100% True on FBI Agents Don't Have Email Access · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Parent is 100% true!

    If people had any idea how much burearucratic bullshit that goes on in the FBI, you would have a totally different opinion of them. I find it amazing they are able to do any work at all with all of the political infighting and constant management changes that goes on within the FBI.

    If you want to know what really goes on with the FBI, take your local agent out for a drink sometime!

  6. worldcom on Nineteen Registrars Decry ICANN Arrangement · · Score: 1

    Well, he worked with Bernie Ebbers down here at Worldcom, so I suppose he learned how to be a greedy bastard from the best of them.

  7. Re:Keep it simple... on What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home? · · Score: 1

    Damn a touch screen. It's well past the year 2000, why the heck can't we have voice control for everything?

  8. Re:Too many variables, too little information on What's Known About the PS3 · · Score: 1

    After selling 3 xbox 360s to idiots who paid $1000 apiece for them, I don't feel that price is way out of line for people to pay.

  9. Re:Currently worthless in North America on RX-8 Hydrogen RE a Dual Fuel Car · · Score: 1

    The grid would use less coal if the US would just get off our collective NIMBY asses and start building nuclear pebble reactors like mad.

    Our great electricity masters in the east (Tennessee Valley Authority) have hiked rates again, for a whopping 15% in the past six-months. Their reasons? Gasoline costs and increased coal costs from their massive coal burning plants.

  10. Re:You get what you pay for on Print Gaming Magazines Doomed? · · Score: 1

    See if you can get a multi-year non-cd subscription off ebay. I paid $38 USD for a 3-year subscription last year.

  11. Re:Foxit on Google Unveils The Google Pack · · Score: 1

    Foxit's good until you try to print. Then be prepared to wait a while.

  12. Re:Intelligent Design tantamount to teaching relig on Slashback: Little Red Hoax, Firefly, Google · · Score: 1

    The fundies can call the judge whatever they want but their man in the white house appointed him.

    --wikipedia--
    John Edward Jones III (born June 13, 1955) is an American lawyer, political figure, and jurist from the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. A Republican, Jones was appointed by President George W. Bush as federal judge on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in February 2002 and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on July 30, 2002.

  13. Re:A problem you wish you had? on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    Competition will eventually provide what you are looking for with the lower prices in exchange for a slower connection, but since in most areas Comcast has a full-out cable monopoly, you won't see it for many years. Here's to hoping Wi-Max will allow it to finally happen, provided it doesn't get legislated out of existance.

    For example:
    Comcast in Tupelo, Mississippi - $64.95/month for cable internet (6M) + at least 9.99 for TV (required)
    Tri-Vista Cable in Amory, Mississippi (25 miles away) - $59.95/month for cable internet (6M) or $29.99/month for 2M.

  14. No way. on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Oh come on, this is slashdot, so has to be the best space movie of all time.

  15. See this movie to see why AV is now outdated on Sony DRM Installs a Rootkit? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem with rootkits is that once you've been infected, there's no way to clean the infection without booting to another OS.

    For a great movie showing the author of hacker defender defeating most all of the current rootkit-defeating programs see the following link:

  16. They've already came out with that... on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 1

    Just came out too...Some movie called "Corpse Bride"

  17. Re:Google PBS commercial on Google Hires Vint Cerf · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't quite call those "natural". ;)

  18. So now what?...recode from a clean room? on Blizzard/Vivendi 2, bnetd 0 · · Score: 1

    So now can you do this?

    Get a group of programmers who never have agreed to the Blizzard EULA to recode the entire thing in a clean room implementation?

    Sure, it'll be hard to do without actually being able to *test* the product, but still...

  19. Re:Other missed TechTV shows... on Leo Laporte Returns to G4TV · · Score: 1

    "Big Thinkers,...Beyond Tomorrow, Cyber Crime"

    Nothing like watching old BBC reruns.

  20. Adam on Leo Laporte Returns to G4TV · · Score: 1

    Adam is actually a pretty sharp guy, before xplay was "dumbed down" (even while still on techtv), he actually had some really good commentary on the games.

  21. Too late...property rights are gone too on RFID Tags To Track Foreigners, Identify Dead · · Score: 1

    see recent emininet domain case from the supremes.

  22. Re:The perception of security on Body Scanners for the London Underground · · Score: 1

    I may be incorrect, but I've heard from a marine friend of mine said you can deny the secondary search by producing your active military id and telling the person that you are active military and you decline the search.

  23. Re:still no on Guitarists, your Days are Numbered · · Score: 1

    We already have those:
    1) Washer
