  1. just delete the gain_trickler.exe on Divx Now Adware Supported Only · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's a file in one of the folders (Divx Codec i think) that contains a file "gain_trickler.exe" which is set to startup in the windows registry. Just delete the entry in regedit and delete or rename the file. (I'd give exact instructions, but I'm at work now with no access to the program...it's not hard to figure out though.)

  2. C331t not a GAIT on How's Your Cell Service? · · Score: 1

    Motorola C331t is not a GAIT model. It's TDMA. Currently, Cingular uses no Motorola GAIT models...only the Sony Ericsson T62u and the Nokia 6340i.

    Does Motorola even make a GAIT model?

    You mean the Nokia 6340i. That's the other GAIT phone.

    Does RedHat 9 include this? I was thinking of installing a dual boot on my win2k boot, but didn't want to reinstall windows again.

    Wasn't cancer cured years ago, but the treatment is more profitable so nobody knows about it?

  11. Can I ask a (stupid) question? on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Why is it so important to run Linux on the Xbox? I sort of understand the thrill geeks get from this, but what makes it worth giving away a $100,000 prize?

    Does this further the OSS movement someway or is it just an "in your face" gesture to Microsoft?

    And I'm not trolling. This is a serious question.

    It would be a big plus if this could support Buzz machines.

    Reminds me of a story I once heard (don't know if it's true or not.)

    During the early NASA days, they had a hard time developing a pen that would write in zero gravity, but after spending a rather large sum of money, they made one.

    When faced with the same delema, the Soviet space program used a pencil.

  14. Don't expect it to work smoothly. on Verizon Drops Opposition To Cell-Number Portability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Carrier's already have problems with their respective services and now everyone expects this to just work perfectly because the FCC says so.

    I wouldn't port my number unless absolutely necessary. I think people will have a lot less trouble if they just cut their losses and go with a new number. Keep the old number's voice mail in service for a month or so and leave the new number as the message.

  22. Re:How about a do not spam list? on FTC Moves up "Do Not Call" List Registration · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd prefer a no-spam list over a no-call list. I can always waste the telemarketer's time (let them go thru their entire pitch and then say something like "What's that? Could you speak up a little?") and cost the telemarketing company money. As I've said before, if enough people did this, there would be no need for a do-not-call list.

    Spam, however, offers little or no means of retaliation. So I just start praying...

    "Merciful Lord, look down upon your humble servant and strike down the heathen company which seeks to increase the size of my privates and undo your good work. Rain tumors and boils upon them and cause their Exchange servers to crash."
