  1. Re:When are we going to learn? on RIAA To Subpoena Univ. of Michigan Names · · Score: 1

    While I agree with you, I don't think it's the law that people are objecting too, it's the way the RIAA go about it. They aren't the police, they have no powers, and yet they are getting away with abuse of the system. The time they stormed an old mexican guys bent CD shop, dressed like storm troppers and maed him sign a pink sheet detailing everything from his height to his shoe size.... it's just not on..

  2. Re:I have one question... on Microsoft's Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    Either that, or the Weird Al Version...

    Well, I bought up.
    Brought windows home,
    and d'cided to boot it up.

    But when I load it up,
    It says my memory is not enough...
    I'd be runnin' out.
    I need some extra RAM to fix me up...

    I have to cough it up...
    Open my wallet up.
    It never stops. (4x)

    It's Windows 95!
    It suckin' up my Drive.
    It' makes a pretty all fine.
    But my PC... is obsolete.
    I'll have to buy myself a brandnew machine...

    Bring it up...
    Stick me up.
    You suck me in, and then you got me hooked.
    You got me..., you got me.

    There's so much stuff to buy
    I need a new harddrive
    It's gonna suck me dry.
    My CPU says, 'don't have the speed',
    it takes an hour just to bring up the screen
    nanana,

    Oh no.
    I making software buys,
    Wow!
    It's making Bill Gated come.
    Yoyo.
    You make a rich man come.

    MP3 is already proprietary.

  4. Re:What's the point? on Pluto's Discoverer's Backyard Telescope For Sale · · Score: 2, Funny

    it's *not* the telescope that first saw Pluto. So the pizza's even better.

  5. Re:Belonngs to a museum on Pluto's Discoverer's Backyard Telescope For Sale · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not the telescope that he discovered Pluto with though, so I don 't think it's all that intriuging[sic].

  6. Re:Diluting spammer's harvested addresses (DDoP) on The Family That Spams Together Stays Together · · Score: 1

    the guy suggested putting up lists of fake addresses. know, i can either be a git, and make them up with someone elses domain, or i can use my own. Either way, mail is going to be going to someones servers, and if they are my domains, it will be my ones.....

  7. Re:Diluting spammer's harvested addresses (DDoP) on The Family That Spams Together Stays Together · · Score: 1

    erm... this is a really crap idea. Those emails still go somewhere. And when my mail servers go nuts because there full of mails that won't relay due to the fact they won't resolve, i'll be looking for legs to break.

  8. Re:Horrible Name on New SQL Server Release Slips to 2005 · · Score: 1
    MySQL. Yeah, that means something too. It's mine, rather than Microsoft's...

    What would you rather have?? Oracle 9i? Could be anything...

  9. Re:Past tense? on New SQL Server Release Slips to 2005 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    erm, people do actually use these things before they hit production you know. We had Exchange 2003 in place months before the release. They don't just stick these products out there, they let people use4 them first and check whether things work... duh...

  10. Re:In other news.... on MS Hotmail Offline For Hours · · Score: 1

    Hotmail doesn't let you send more than 20 messages a day unless you subscribe. I can't see hardcore spammers making the effort really.

  11. Re:Command-Lines on The Command Line - Best Newbie Interface? · · Score: 1

    I have to use my method above, because i can't find a modern (read: with a windows key) that isn't all squishy. I like a nice solid keyboard that goes clack when i hit it. There was an ask slashdot about this a while back.

    Probably looks like this: -bash: This: command not found

    yes, it was a floppy :) a cd wouldn't work.

  15. oh, fortune on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 1

    I've just been told to ditch all caffiene and salt after having a blood pressure reading of 156/100 up from 130/90 at Christmas. But I do drink the stuff excessively. Will have to show this to my health nurse.... :) am currently eating lots of nuts and juice in an effort to ditch a few pounds (am not fat! just technically overwieght) and bring the blood pressure down....

    yeah, it affects one box only, potentially. the same as viruses that trash your drive are classed medium, because you know that they are there. the bad ones are the ones that have screwed all your backups before you realise.
