  1. Since when ... on Bootkit Bypasses TrueCrypt Encryption · · Score: 1

    Was TrueCrypt all of a sudden supposed to be a virus scanner or malware remover ?

  2. So how about NVIDEA ? on Generating Fast MD5 Collisions With ATI Video Cards · · Score: 1

    There supposed to be faster, right ?

  5. Consumers reply ... on RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever" · · Score: 1

    Don't expect us to take this kind if crap forever. We can 'vote with our wallets'.

  6. Finding people using Google Earth on Pakistan Used Google Earth For Military Targeting · · Score: 1

    If we can't find Bin Laden using Google Earth, then perhaps we can use it to find Lance Davis, the main project administrator for CentOS ? Ooops, wrong article...

  7. Unexpected ? on The Pirate Bay Ordered To Block Dutch Users · · Score: 1

    Whaddayamean, unexpected ? Wasn't this totally to be expected, as their doing essentially the same stuff as napster et al used to do in the past ? And got sued for ? And lost ?

  8. Re:so much for a "benevolent dictatorship" on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, this pretty much *is* a definition of a "benevolent dictatorship".

  9. And here I was ... on Could the Cloud Derail a $300 Million Data Center? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... stupid me, thinking that 'The Cloud', actually *was* a $300 Million Data Center...

  10. You gotta be fucking kidding me... on Unicellular "Enigma" Changes From Predator To Plant and Back · · Score: 1

    ... as Palmer (David Clennon) says in John Carpenters The Thing (1982), as Norris' head grows legs and tries to walk away ...

  11. Atari 2600 ? on Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released · · Score: 1

    Whaddayamean, 7800 ? I remember playing these games on the Atatri 2600 console as a kid, released in 1977, although the 7800 was almost fully backward-compatible with the 2600.

  12. Re:Forget them and get on with your life on You've Dropped Your Landline — Now What? · · Score: 1

    "Most sigs are like fine wines -- best appreciated when drunk." I totally agree :P

  13. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager on What Data Recovery Tools Do the Pros Use? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager http://www-01.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr/, formerly Adstar, is used by many large corporations.

  14. Groove ? on Google's "Wave" Blurs Chat, Email, Collaboration Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Somehow I can't shake the feeling that this is a similar product as 'Groove' from a few years back...

  15. FUD on IBM Wants Patent For Regex SSN Validation · · Score: 1

    IBM has clearly stated that it wont assert these patents against the open source community, but will only assert them to anyone who tries to use them against the open source community. 'Nuff said.

  16. Servlet Engine or full J2EE Application Server ? on SpringSource Acquires Hyperic, Possibly Set to Target Microsoft and IBM · · Score: 1

    What I haven't been able to make out of either of the company's website's, is whether they offer 'only' a servlet engine like Tomcat, or a full J2EE Application Server ? It seems to me like they would need at least a full J2EE Application Server like Geronimo to make any sort of threat ?

  17. Who are SpringSource and Hyperic, indeed...

  18. Re:Windows Server 2008 ? on What Does a $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    What ? They are still compiling the Gentoo system ? Where are my Linux becchmarks ..... ?

  19. Windows Server 2008 ? on What Does a $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    But how about running Linux on that machine ? Can we see some benchmarks on that please ?

  20. Obviosuly ridiculous on Gamer Claims Identifying As a Lesbian Led To Xbox Live Ban · · Score: 1

    Obviously, it is ridiculous that once's sexual preference has anything to do with being allowed to play video games on any given environment. Hopefully this statement from Microsoft will see a sharp drop in sales of the XBOX in favor of other consoles, but I fear that Microsoft will simply get away with this....

  21. 'Piracy' seen as biggest threat on Microsoft Sees Linux As Bigger Competitor Than Apple · · Score: 1

    Although it's nice to see Linux as a threat to the Microsoft marketshare, the pie chart in the linked topic shows piracy or 'unlicensed' copies of Windows as the biggest threat. I guess that people do still like or are forced to use Windows, but are just not capable or unwilling of providing the cash for the operating system.

  22. Equal opportunities for 'open' and 'closed' source on Should Obama Give Stimulus To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Rather than promote just open or just closed source, I think it would be far more productive if government agencies would be required to consider both open and closed source solutions alongside each other, and then select the best candidate based on 'best-fit' for any given task.

  23. Re:'Rabbit Ears' ? on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 1

    Ok,. so I am a complete idiot... Of *course* the rabbit ears must have referred to *actual* rabbit ears...

  24. What ? on Net Neutrality Still Lives · · Score: 1

    You haven't read all 680 pages ?

  25. 'Rabbit Ears' ? on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ok, call me a complete idiot, but WTF *are* 'rabbit ears' ?
