  1. Re:Little guys on Molson Slapped in Domain Hijacking Attempt · · Score: 2

    Please, bet against everybody who is suing to get the DMCA overturned!

  2. Re:I love this book on I'm Just Here for the Food · · Score: 2

    Also, as hinted by the author, go watch his show. I especially like the one when he shows you how to make a smoker out of a cardboard box.

    Didn't see that one. But, being a garlic fan, I loved the ep where he had DRACULA helping him do garlic.

  3. Re:predicted result on John Gilmore Sues Ashcroft et al. for Freedom to Travel · · Score: 2

    You ever been on a boat recently? You get to show all kinds of ID to get on one of those things.

  4. Re:predicted result on John Gilmore Sues Ashcroft et al. for Freedom to Travel · · Score: 2

    Assuming this case isn't dismissed, my bet is the court says you have the right to domestic travel anywhere you like - by car or on foot.

    And how do you get to Hawaii, which is domestic travel?

  5. Obvious Solution on Dutch Anti-Spam Ruling Nullified on Appeal · · Score: 2

    Let's just send all our spam to the Dutch court, since all they need to do is change their email addresses.

  6. Re:Extreme? on John Gilmore Sues Ashcroft et al. for Freedom to Travel · · Score: 2

    And how would one travel to Hawaii on business? And yes, people do travel there on business, I've done it.

  7. OT, but what the hell on John Gilmore Sues Ashcroft et al. for Freedom to Travel · · Score: 2

    Logan on 9/18.

    Hmmmm.... I bet that on 9/18 security at Logan would be tighter than ANYWHERE else in the world. Remember, two of the planes took off from Logan. I'm sure that the Logan's security chief had a new one ripped for him...

  8. Re:Green Lantern... on U.S. Gov't Planning To "Help Us" Secure Computers · · Score: 2

    You mean "Magic Lantern", don't you?

  9. Re:If I change... on ATI R300 and R250V · · Score: 2

    It's not a troll. Don't you remember when ATI got caught jacking the settings for Quake? When the EXE was renamed, perfomance dropped.

  10. Re:Cell phone... arrrg! on PDA and Subnotebook Killer? · · Score: 2

    Would that be with or without any "bloody A, B, C, or D"? (not to mention 'E')?

  11. OT, But we need to instruct the young on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    I'm reminded of that classic SNL sketch "We're the PHONE company, we don't have to care."

    OK, young'un. That was Ernestine the Operator from "Laugh-In", not SNL.

  12. Re:Just give up land lines.. on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 2

    I don't give a fuck about the sales calls (OK, I do, but they're irrelevant for now).

    I care about the fact that somebody knows WHO I CALL FROM WITHIN MY OWN HOME.

    Guess it's time to go use pay phones.

  13. If I change... on ATI R300 and R250V · · Score: 2, Funny

    If I change the name from "QUAKE" to "QUACK", will the performance drop by 20%?

  14. Real-Time on Clockless Computing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How would an asynchronous process affect determinism requirements, such as those of a hard real-time system?

  15. Re:Orwell Wasn't Wrong.... on MIT Technology Review on Where Orwell Went Wrong · · Score: 2

    Who really cares about the Dental Party candidate for President?

    You, sir, are an Anti-Dentite.

    In other words,
    Dear Constituent,

    I've been bought and paid for, but I'll pretend to lend a sympathetic ear.

    Tough luck, Sucker.

  18. Re:Of course its taking root. Its a good idea. on Crypto Restrictions Are Taking Over the World · · Score: 2

    I think the rules may have been revised, but it used to be the case (and still may be) that crypto over 40 bits was regulated under ITAR (Internation Traffic in Arms Regulations), and was classified as a munition.

    Technically, any attempt to restrict US domestic crypt may have been a violation of the Second Amendment, as well as the obvious First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment violations.

  21. Ob MS Bashing on One Terabyte On a 12-inch^H^H^H^Hcm Disk · · Score: 2

    1TB disk... should just barely be enough for the installation disk of Microsoft Windows XXXXP 2005!

  22. Re:You won't be able to sell it on Microsoft in Peru, Living Room · · Score: 2

    Maybe we should use some new jargon for /. discussions...

    "free" == free (beer and speech)
    "freeb" == free (beer)
    "freesp" == free (speech).

    So the OP would be getting some freeb MS software. Of course, after 1 year, when the license runs out it's no longer freeb, and the BSA comes a-knocking.

  24. Re:My other computer is a mac... on Microsoft vs. Apple's "Thunder" · · Score: 2

    It's been my experience that Microsoft's Macintosh projects are far better than their Windows counterparts.

    Probably because they have to compete on their own merits, rather than being bundled or pre-installed.

    It's currently a blank page. Obviously that plain white background is obscene!
