  1. How to block null sessions in Win2k? on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that all you need to do is change the value of the DWORD "restrictanonymous" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa from 0 to 1.

    Right?

  2. What's the best way to support this? on Protecting Your DRM Rights · · Score: 1

    Okay, from some of the comments, I know a lot of you feel this bill isn't perfect (what bill is?), but it's better than nothing, right? I don't mean to compromise, but in world where our consumer rights are being attacked everyday, I think we should take what we can get for the present while still fighting for the future. Of course, the perfect solution is to repeal the DMCA and prevent any laws like the SSSCA/CBDTPA from being passed, but since we haven't arrived in a perfect world yet, isn't supporting this bill and others like it, the best current solution?

    Now, I ask what's the best way to support it?

  3. Whenever I think of Frtiz Hollings... on Fritz's Hit List · · Score: 1

    I think of Junkie XL's tune "Future In Computer Hell." Can't take all the Disney money with you, old man.

  4. Unfortunate, since I want a Mac on No More Mac Tweaking? · · Score: 1

    I've wanted a Mac ever since OSX was released, and being somewhat of a geek, I like to tinker and customize things to my liking. I'm sorry to see Apple limiting my options in this, but I will probably still get a Mac someday as long as they don't close it up too much.

  5. Britney, Missy, and Nelly commercials? on Why Software Piracy is Good for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    This is the same Spears who peddled her airbrushed ass to Pepsi so she could hock their products?

    "You do a commercial and you are off the artistic role-call forever. End of story. You're another corporate fucking schill, you're another whore at the capitalist gangbang, and if you do a commercial, there's a price on your head, everything you say is suspect, and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd fallen into my drink." -Bill Hicks

    Woohoo! More money for overly-redundant pop and hip-hop performers.

  6. Re:Joy, yet another CPU I can't afford. on Intel Demos 4.7-GHz Pentium · · Score: 1

    It won't make MP3s play any clearer

    Given the palladium implementation, we'll be lucky if they play at all.

  7. This is nothing new... on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    Sasha did this will the released of his album, Airdrawndagger. Each CD contains a unique code that lets you access exclusive remixes and such from his site.

  8. Since kazaa will prolly be going under soon... on RIAA Seeks Summary Judgement Against P2P Services · · Score: 1

    ...any recommendations for a replacement? Honestly, I hardly use it for music (soulseek better serves my musical tastes), but it's good for video files of tv episodes, home movie-type stuff, and well, pr0n.

  9. Probably delayed so they can implement palladium on AMD Delays Hammer · · Score: 1

    As not to be out-done by Intel.

  10. Doen't palladium work on a deny-by-default basis? on Intel to Build DRM into Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 1

    Meaning, if it can't identify what file you're trying to access, it denies access.

    Oh well, I guess I'm jumping on the Linux or Apple bandwagon.

  11. Replace them with Zip drives? on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    or some other higher-capacity drive.

  12. Re:Actually, both DVDS are totally different! on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    If this is the case, then I'm not buying either. I absolutely refuse to support this type of profiteering and greed. I will buy one copy of the DVD and one copy only. I can wait for the final box set of all 3 movies or just not buy any of them at all.

  13. Bedrock, Sasha, Hybrid, Quivver on Electronic Music 101? · · Score: 1

    My favorite electronic artist is Bedrock (Nick Muir and John Digweed.) Their track "Heaven Scent" is an absolute masterpiece. They will be releasing 21 original tracks for the soundtrack to a movie called "Stark Raving Mad."

    Sasha's debut artist album, Airdrawndagger, will be released in the U.K. next month, and in the U.S. the following month. I've heard it and it's excellent. His 4 track EP, Xpander, is also very good.

    Hybrid and Quivver (John Graham) are other great electronic artists. Both are known for their amazing remixes.

    Oh yeah, to be fair, the track included with iTunes the author spoke of is not produced by Sasha + John Digweed. It's "Tyrantanic" by Breeder (remixed by Slacker.) Sasha + Diggers just used it on their "Communicate" Mix CD.

  14. Maybe they're using... on Apple Blacklists "Rumor Promoting" Publications · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... the Eric Cartman marketing tatic.

    "You can't get into my amusement park!"

  15. Ground Control to RIAA on David Bowie on Music, Copyrights, Distribution · · Score: 2, Funny

    Copyrights are through
    And there's nothing you can do

    (cheesey, yes, but somebody had to do it :)

  16. Instead of just hanging up... on Disconnecting Telemarketers · · Score: 0

    Talk to them. Let them throw their entire sales pitch to you. Act interested and ask them as many questions as you can think of. Keep them on the phone for as long as possible and then tell them you're not interested. Time is the only asset they have that you control. If You just hang up or block them, and they'll move on to the next potential customer, but if you waste as much of their time as possible without buying whatever they are selling, you'll do much more damage to their business. I did this for a few months and now I almost never get telemarketing calls. I kinda miss hearing that enraged "WHAT?" whenever I keep them on the phone for 30 minutes and then say I'm not interested.

  18. Re:Hilary Rosen quote on RIAA Wants Taxpayer-Funded IP Police · · Score: 0

    When will she realize that there's more to creating music than money?

    There's nothing more to it as far as she and the RIAA are concerned. Oh sure, they cry all about artists' rights and creativity and such, but they really meant "We want more money! More money! Now, now, now!"

  19. Re:I, for one, hope this passes... on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 0

    even if it were still legal to buy foreign hardware when this crap passes, it wouldn't last for long. once Big Corporate found out, it would only be a matter of time before they bought some more politicians and put the rest of the world out of business.

  20. campaign contributions decide our laws on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 0

    it's painfully obvious that campaign contributions decide our laws. i stopped buy CDs a long time ago because of the gov't-sponsed shutdown of napster, so now if this law passed, i guess i have to stopped buying movie tickets and DVDs. it appears my only recourse against the billionaire entertainment industry is to cut them off completely. i know i'm mostly alone in this, but it sickens me to think some hollywood trouser-stain is buying politicians with my movie money.

  21. i stopped buy CDs because of RIAA, not filesharing on RIAA Almost Down To Pre-Napster Revenues · · Score: 1, Funny

    my motivation for not buying CDs is the tyrannical RIAA and it's bullying tatics. i shall be damned if i'm ever going to buy another CD from any artist or record company that has even the slightest affiliation with RIAA. they get nothing from me but spite.

  22. In the Wise Words of Les Claypool... on Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan · · Score: 0

    If ever you're in doubt about who or where I am
    I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
    I am your Uncle Sam...Electric Uncle Sam!

  23. commercialism sucks on AOL vs. Trillian · · Score: -1, Redundant

    i can't see how AOL will try to block trillian and, of course, they have every right to do so, but if not for trillian, i wouldn't be using their IM service at all. my computer is not a fucking billboard. it's bad enough i have to tolerate spam and banner ads and other such pieces of commercialized crap. anyway i can get around that is the way i will go.

  24. i'm glad 95% of music sucks today on Universal Music Prepares for Copy-Protection Complaints · · Score: 0

    it's makes not buying CDs a lot easier.

  25. so m$ own any name ending with -indows? on Microsoft Starts Legal Fight Over Lindows Name · · Score: 0
