  1. Re:This is too much: SiteAdvisor has adware! on MIT Startup Tests Top Million Sites for Spyware · · Score: 1

    Because the space between and is empty? It's possible you see nothing because I put nothing there...consider that?

    All I said is that I installed SiteAdvisor and got no pesky adware. Your Yahoo toolbar didn't come from it, so it must be from another source.

    No, I think it was you who installed it. I just installed SiteAdvisor and no nasty Yahoo toolbar appeared to me.

    >> For people who may balk at the 300$ price, cutting it down to 250$ sometimes is all the reason for them to spend the moolah.

    Yeah, and then you go do what I did today: Spend $320 on iPod accessories.

  7. Re:Ah... good old hoaxes... on Forward This Article And Get Paid $203.15 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Back when I worked at a computer repair shop, our front counter girl got that hoax e-mail about the bear file. What did she do? Deleted the file off of every display system we had for sale.

    The boss chewed her a new one.

  8. Coolpix is another option on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 1

    If you're like me (lazy, cheap), get the Nikon Coolpix 2200. I have mine setup to take continuous shots and keep the best image out of the batch (it's an option called the Best Shot Selector).

  9. Easy way around on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    This would be so easy to get around. All you have to share legal files...but embed the "tsk tsk" stuff inside of them with something like Camouflage ;)

  10. If this is the HL2 source... on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Why are there comments about Quake in it? Below is comments from a random file I opened (common.cpp), no code:
    /*
    All of Quake's data access is through a hierarchical file system, but the contents of
    the file system can be transparently merged from several sources.

    The "base directory" is the path to the directory holding the quake.exe and all
    game directories. The sys_* files pass this to host_init in engineparms->basedir.
    This can be overridden with the "-basedir" command line parm to allow code
    debugging in a different directory. The base directory is
    only used during filesystem initialization.
    The file contains more refrences to Quake as you go on.
