  1. Research purposes? on Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept, Company Admits · · Score: 1

    What on earth would they use the actual card numbers for, if the data was used for research purposes?

  2. Possibly not dead. on The PC Is Not Dead · · Score: 1

    However, if it appears dead, it may be running Windows, according to emperical evidence.

  3. Re:Democrats vs. Republicans on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Geez....why can't the legislatures see we're freaking taxed ENOUGH. My paycheck is near 30%+ taxed with Fed, State, Medicare and fucking SS that I'll never get back fully. Sales tax here is like 9%...over and over and over again."

    No, you are not. I live in Denmark, and I am income taxed something like 56% in total. Add to that, that there is a 25% sales tax on everything.

    Oh, and we are taxed 180% on top of the 25% on car sales. Thats the highest car sales tax in the world.

    And a gallon of 95 octane fuel goes for $5.5 here.

    So, no, you are not overtaxed. You are just taxed :)

  4. Re:Fighting spam with more crap? on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    With core routers very close to being overloaded...

    What core routers - be specific. What is the capacity? What is the load now?

    Could you please add a link to something that backs up your statement? You sound as if you know a lot about the current state of the health of the Internet. You may be right, but without something to back you up, I cant see anyone taking the statement serious.

  5. Re:Uhrm? on Phoenix Unveils Anti-Theft BIOS · · Score: 1

    Well, you can pad an 'ICMP Echo Request' packet with payload = data = commands. And the same goes for 'ICMP Echo Reply'.

    So you can have 1400+ bytes of data transferrede both ways.

  6. Re:What i want to know.... on Comparing Sci-fi Starship Sizes · · Score: 1

    I think this one is for you:

    Real physics. Great. And, the price is fair.

  7. Re:I hear the NIC on my laptop buzz... on Why Does a Screen Re-Draw Make Noises? · · Score: 1

    I can confirm this, I have an IBM ThinkPad T22, and when I transfer large files over the NIC, a kind of buzzing sound is emitted from underneath the keyboard. It has nothing to do with the harddrive, as I can reproduce the sound with TTCP.
