  1. Re:Is this true ? on Hackers Gather in Finland, Netherlands, and Vegas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    true, at least the dutch police is present at WTH.

    The WTH guys actually fooled the press by publishing a faked information in their wiki that the police is giving a Lawfull Interception Workshop.

  2. Re:It's a big number. on Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million · · Score: 1

    I guess emerge will download the source from one of the mozilla mirrors. same for 'lin' in lunar linux.

  3. Re:Python's better on Learning Perl, 4th Ed. · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't care.

  4. del.icio.us on New Google Homepage Features · · Score: 1

    I tried to add my del.icio.us bookmarks rss feed.
    didn't work for me. has anyone tried it?

  5. Re:anon attack platform? yup! on Tor - The Yin or the Yang? · · Score: 1

    on our irc channel we had a problem with a single jerk who always used a different nickname. so the channel was set to require a nickserv registered nick. didn't stop him. he registered his 20+ nicks and continued to annoy us.

  6. Re:all of the same characteristics on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    good point. I wouldn't call it paper if you can't write with a pencil on it. A thin bendable display is not paper.

  7. Re:More Questions then Answers on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    Raincoast Books managed to get an injunction prohibiting the people who recieved the books from talking about them

    I would just badmouth the book and talk bad about it. The book probably sucks anyway.

    UIP prohibitted all types of criticism before the release day of War of the Worlds. I decided not to see it then.

    I don't like those artificial media hypes.

    (I don't have or would buy the book. I don't read childrens books anymore.)

  8. Re:Sounds Like He Knows What He's Talkikng About on JBoss Founder Hard-Nosed About Open Source · · Score: 1

    So, how is this Marc Fleury anyway? Do I need to know him? He is probably just a lame dork in a suit.

    If he disses my hobby, because I sit around for countless in my free time working on open-source software, I don't need to know, use or respect the work of his company. Period.

  9. Re:Linux 8.0?!? on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    or SuSE...

    One of my pet peeves:

    "I have a problem with my Linux"
    "Yes? What's up?"
    "I'm running Linux 9.3 ... yadda yadda yadda"

  11. Re:Florida, Florida on Justice O'Connor Retiring · · Score: 1

    Winner or no winner. Elections carried out with anything else than pen and paper are flawed and bogus.

  12. Re:E-book on Amazon's 1,082-volume Classics Collection: $7,989 · · Score: 1

    A local bookshoop here had a selection of those Penguin Classics for a bargain price for each title.

    I almost bought a few titles, but unfortunately those books had a poor quality. Brownish looking paper and a bad typeface/printing. It would be a pain to scan them without a significant loss of quality :)

  13. that's nothing on Linux-Based Phone Lasts 200 Hours on Standby · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My Philips Xenium 9@9++ has a standby time of about a month. No useless toy features (camera, color display, ...).

    Granted, I don't phone that much, but it's nice to have a device that doesn't need be be recharged every other day/week.

  14. Re:In-house punishments please! on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With those rules, I wouldn't want to use such an laptop. Just for my own and their protection. I react allergic to rules. Especially in schools :)

    I would say that too-tight computer rules will end up in hardware/software being manipulated by a skilled student to gain a bit more freedom with the provided hardware.

  15. math and stuff on What Ancient Tech Do You Do? · · Score: 1

    what the heck did those of us with geek brains do?


    math? engineering? inventing things?

    someone had to do the needed brainwork at some point in history which made computers, etc. possible.
  16. not a cd on Sony's New Nagging Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    this new product is not a CD. it some CD-like thing. a real CD (as defined by the CD standards) has no copy-protection or digital restrictions management.

  17. Re:Gentlemen don't read others gentlemen's mail... on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    in a company with a few employees this might work, but what about a company with a few or several thousand employees worldwide? create a new department for it? or peer-review based? I can read my co-workers (outbound) mail and he can read mine?

    if an employee wants to sent sensitive information to someone else, he will probably use PGP encryption.

    the internal mail review department gets too large too fast and will be outsourced and all mail will be sent on a backup tape to a company in texas for review.

  19. four! on Windows Nearly Ready For Desktop Use · · Score: 1

    IE7 will have maximal 4 (four) open tabs and it will be an patented and all-new microsoft feature ;)

  20. Re:Ripoff? on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1

    it is. somehow.

    the distributor (20th Century Fox) is dictating on how many screens the movie has to be shown in a cinema and that customers can't use the free ticket discounts (see 6 movies, 7th for free).

    this behaviour is at least true for my local multiplex cinema and probably others in Germany.

  21. Re:Ruby on Rails and AJAX on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 2, Informative

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ruby on Rails is server based and AJAX is browser based and I see no way to compare those concepts!?

  22. Re:RIAA to release lawsuit in two weeks. on Bram Cohen to Release BitTorrent Search Engine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the site probably won't host a single torrent or run a tracker for sharing copyrighted stuff. just an index. you can find torrents via google and the **AA doesn't sue them.

    just my 0.02 EUR.

  23. Re:A manually operated webcrawler. on Social Bookmarking Services Revisited · · Score: 1

    del.icio.us has a meta tag to tell a crawler not to index or follow the links.
