  1. Re:Been using this for a while on Portable Firefox and Thunderbird · · Score: 3, Informative

    most have a read only switch somewhere on the device.

  2. Re:Been using this for a while on Portable Firefox and Thunderbird · · Score: 1

    so do what I do, grab all the latest patches and stick 'em on a set of cds. I also made an htaccess protected directory on my web server that holds those files as well. With portable firefox, I can install all but 1 day old patches and service packs, with *no* worries about the machine getting reinfected after I clean it with adaware/spybot/etc.

    that saves me a lot of time overall, for very little effort.

  3. Been using this for a while on Portable Firefox and Thunderbird · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is damn handy when you're trying to patch/clean a spyware riddled machine. Sometimes it's almost impossible to get stuff working with so much crap clogging up the browser. This thing is uber useful, IMHO.

  4. What happens when it's not secret anymore? on Is Some Software Meant to be Secret? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just like the issue with MS getting source stolen. How many problems can/will arise from relying on "no one will ever see this" when everyone can see it?

  5. Cuts both ways? on Gunshot Tracking Cameras to be Deployed in LA · · Score: 1

    misposted this earlier, my bad

    Thing is, this can work both ways... if the police have a "questionable" incident, will the video be availiable to the public or courts? I'm thinking no...

  7. Re:Farking AT&T on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    right, that's SBC... I'm referring to AT&T Broadband installing this stuff on their upstream for Insight, Mediacom, and a few others

  8. Farking AT&T on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wouldn't know... I can't use the client since AT&T installed Sandvine here in IL and started blocking bittorrent.

    yeah, because rape is just so damn funny

  10. Thinking on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The reason they're seeing so much more activity is because a person who's lying is actively thinking, rather than just "regurgitating" information.

    Pretty simple concept IMHO.

  11. Re:Greasy Kids Stuff on In Korea, Email Is Only For Old People · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can say that I really prefer IM. How many people do you know that can carry on a voice conversation with 5 people at once?

    A lot of the people I use it to talk with also use it as a "remote post-it" note. Got an idea? shoot it off, and they'll see it eventually.

    overall, I'd prefer IM to just about anything else

  12. Re:WTF? on Air Force Orders Up A Custom Windows Monoculture · · Score: 1

    QNX is good, but I really don't give a flying rat's ass what it is as long as it's stable. I keep hearing too many stories (like the recent UK debacle) about how MS's products crashed/blew up/went nuts. I don't care if they wanna use DOS 3.1, as long as it's useable. Methinks the military has more important things to worry about right now.

  13. WTF? on Air Force Orders Up A Custom Windows Monoculture · · Score: 1, Insightful

    When will these people learn not to trust MS products for critical systems? I'm really not trying to play the "Linux Zealot" here, but damn...

    Let's start using something stable for critical shit, shall we?

  14. Re:Anti-Spyware on Windows Incident Forensics with Knoppix Helix · · Score: 1

    ok then, how about anti spyware stuff? (seriously, not fdisk :)

    I'd love to be able to just show up, drop a Knoppix disc in someone's drive, boot the machine, and clean all that crap up, then boot windows, and finish it out with spybot/adaware/pestpatrol/whatever. Would make a lot of people some decent money, methinks ;)

  15. Anti-Spyware on Windows Incident Forensics with Knoppix Helix · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this is pretty cool and all, but I'd really like to see a Knoppix disc with a bunch of anti spyware stuff on it. Would make my life *much* easier.

    Anyone know if they ever got Linux to be able to actually write to NTFS?

  16. Re:The Hardware for I/O is all exposed?? on Commodore 64 TV Game for Sale · · Score: 2, Funny

    Jerry was showing them to me a couple of weekends ago.

    you know you play *way* too much Call of Duty when the first thought that enters your head is "hey cool, Germans made it!"

    *sigh*

  17. Re:You can be safe(er?) with PocoMail, too on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 1

    ok, here's one for ya...

    who do I have to blow to get someone to write a *very* basic IMAP-S client?

    I don't need spam filtering (spamassassin), I don't need html (never use it), and I don't need all the other garbage that's piled into 99% of the clients out there...

    I'd love to ditch Outlook, but damn! I don't need all that extra baggage!

    Someone hook me up with a link if such a beast exists!

  19. Re:Archos on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 1

    pot, and do you really think it can't be spun to seem as though the "hidden folder" is a form of a copy control mechanism? I mean, seriously... to listen to Ashcroft tell it, p2p = terrorism, so is this really that much of a stretch?

  20. Re:WhenUGetSued... on Anti-Spyware Vendor Partners with Spyware Company? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That may be the reason why this group caved... not that money changed hands, but the threat of a lawsuit was waived(sic) around.

    ah yes... free market indeed... as long as you have enough money, you can wave some papers at another company, and intimidate them into submission. We really need something to hold these companies (and their lawyers) accountable for this kind of crap.

    mod this up! it's an excellent point.

    what people don't realize, is that while it is easy to do on the ipod, it's also a federal crime to do it thanks to the good 'ol DMCA.
