  1. Window XP vs 2000 Pro on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 1

    I would be more than happy to upgrade our Windows 2000 Pro machines to XP if Microsoft would release a tool to configure the Fisher Price (TM) gui so that it looks and works like the Windows 2000 Pro gui. I hate turning all that crap off on every machine by hand.

    Oh, and I could use another 128MB per machine too.

  2. Turnabout on Security Attacks Increasingly Motivated By Greed · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is just payback for all the hackers that became day-traders a few years ago. Now, stock brokers are trying their hands at hacking....

  3. I never imaged.... on No Half-Life 2 on Steam? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    We will probably see a resonance cascade before we see the release of HL2.

  5. Wait a minute... on FTC Recommends Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's to keep spammers from turning in other spammers? Then the spammers get MORE money.... OUR money!

  6. Re:Lock Hacking in Hackers on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 1

    My favorite part in that book is about a young "hacker" who picked the lock to a tool cabinet, to use a particular screwdriver. Well, the screw was behind a few live exposed terminals, and the hacker accidentally shorted the terminals with the screwdriver. He replaced the screwdriver in the cabinet with a note on it that said "used up".

  7. I wonder how it will hold up. on Sony Begins OLED Mass Production · · Score: 1

    I expect that the life of this display is rather short. Will it be affected by image burn? Can you freeze them? Get them wet? Clean them with household cleaning products? Will they grow?

    Replace your CPU with a Lamprey Brain.

    Oh no! I'm going to crash my slowmobile!

  10. Re:Somewhat of a good idea on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    Great. That protects YOUR machine. What about the other 3499 machines that your IT dept administrates? Not only do they need to reset your password, they also need to carry around a 60 pound keychain.

    Intrusion detection is worthless. If they can get the case open, they can also reset the cmos and clear the detection. Physically locking the case if the best solution , but how do you manage that on a large scale?
    There is also nothing to stop them from connecting an irda adaptor to the serial port and beaming the info to their handheld.

    I already have a solution for preventing people from connecting USB devices - Windows 95.

  11. Re:Star Trek Porn on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 1

    Fifteen years ago, maybe. Today... Well, OK, I'm still interested.

  12. Over my dead body... on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    I'll stop using 3.5" Floppy disks as soon as Kirk, Spock, and Scotty stop using them!

  13. I have never seen audio before... on Audio Processing on Your Graphics Card? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does anyone have a screenshot?

    This would probably look best when viewed with a Viewsonic monitor.

  14. It's not just the DRM... on Windows Media Player 10 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The thing I really don't care much for is the DRM services that get installed with this. I already don't like the idea of mediaplayer making determinations about the licensing of the music I listen to, but it becomes worse because it installs and runs a SERVICE that monitors this. It's one more thing running in the background that doesn't need to be when I am just reading my email.

    Software makers: Get it through your head. DONT RUN YOUR DUMBASS SERVICES ON STARTUP JUST SO I CAN UNZIP A FILE .035ms FASTER!

  15. They will! on SCO Caps Legal Expenses At $31 Million · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lawyers can and will work for free. It's called Pro Boner.

  16. Re:Just one option of many... on Microsoft Codec Required For Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 1

    I'm worried because they want to "enrich" the standard. I like my standards the way they are.

  17. Re:Worrying on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 1
    The cop may not have been right, but there is nothing more dangerous than a cop who is willing to be wrong.
    Have you ever heard a copy say "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Please continue what you're doing."

    Neither have I.
  18. Re:It's slightly lacking on The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives · · Score: 1

  20. Workaround on Software For Slackers: Lockout · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hello Knoppix boot CD....

  21. Just what I need. on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 1

    Over the last 2 weeks, we have had 6 hard disks go bad in workstation PCs. The PCs are kinda old, but they meet our needs. Each workstation drive is about 6.4 Gigs. It's getting harder and harder to find new replacement drives for these machines. It's a shame to put a 40GB drive in a workstation that is just going to use a fraction of it. I had hoped that the technology would improve for flash devices that would allow a 6.4 GB flash drive that would just plug into an ATA controller. It certainly would make the workstations more quiet.

  22. Who needs gene therapy? on Gene Therapy Turns Slackers Into Workaholics · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Now it's stable?!?!? on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 4, Funny

    >Does anyone have a GM they've tested yet?

    Windows XP SP2 is for Computers running Microsoft's Windows XP. It won't run on anything made by General Motors.
