  1. I agree on Drink Coffee, Support Mozilla · · Score: 1

    That is always the case, do not confuse it with "half of what you pay for it".

    Yeay, way to troll moderators. get a clue

  2. Re:The porn site moneymaking scheme? on The Origin Of Sobig (And Its Next Phase) · · Score: 1

    If the writer of the worm had gone through all the steps he had to hide the origins, I doubt that that he is the owner of that site.
    The reasons for him linking to it could range from a random site to a paid job, but I doubt the latter. Everyone with half a brain know what they have to face if they get caught and the efforts that have gone into find people in earlier cases. But then again, there are stupid people out there.

  3. Re:yes on FreeBSD Ports Tricks · · Score: 1

    Yes, well it early in the morning for me. :)

  4. Re:I hate it.. on Building a Better Bomb · · Score: 1

    I find it amusing that someone who advertises their own blog in their sig, can't find words to describe how they feel.
    But then again, that is pretty much the general picture I get from the blogs I have seen so far.

  5. yes on FreeBSD Ports Tricks · · Score: 4, Informative

    And you can even find the Bittorrent client.

  6. Hmm on Zero Blaster Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think I would be happier WITH the dollar.

  8. Re:New headline for article on Contiki Ported To x86 · · Score: 1

    Yes, who could have seen that coming?

  9. TK421 modification on Is Louder Better? · · Score: 5, Funny

    All you need to do is to get the TK421 modification for your amp and everything will sound much better.

  10. 11 out of 5 does not care on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 2, Funny

    According to the latest polls, 11 out of 5 does not care about errors in the voting system.

  11. Re:First Amendment rights my ass on What Is The Real Cost of Spam? · · Score: 1

    True, as it has often been said, just because they have the right to speak, doesn't mean that I have to listen.

    Further more, I still don't understand how anyone can take spammers seriously when they whine of their rights. When you are a sysadmin, you have seen countless of attempts by spammers to abuse mail servers with program or configuration faults. I still get spammers on a daily basis who thinks a Apache / PHP server runs mod_proxy and that they can use it to relay mail.(just because that combination makes it return messages like the proxy is working)

    So they can come with all their arguments and fine speeches, but I(as many others here) have seen their abusive work in real life. And with that in mind, how come there is all that talking and debating about what to do with their line of work. In any other business, no one would think twice about banning their practices.

  12. Re:Hmmm. on German Constitutional Court Blocks Napster Suit · · Score: 1

    Yes Yes, you are right.
    A crippeling bombshell hit the Napser com... aarwh never mind

  13. Re:I have contributed.. on SETI@Home Publishes Skymap · · Score: 1

    Well, not the toaster, but I did try to get that Simpsons screensaver to work again, but it seems that it can't work with w2k. damn

  14. Re:Well i live in Europe (Belgium)... on The Beast of Brussels · · Score: 0

    I second that.

  15. Re:Which to choose for DBs? on Reiser4 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    First of all, as some one else have pointed out, I don't know much about optimizing DBs for speed, which is why I asked. Second, I have seen lots of Redhat boxes using ReiserFS and ext3 for their database volumes and I was wondering why they were using them instead of fx. raw volumes.

  16. Which to choose for DBs? on Reiser4 Benchmarks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I realise that it is a bit early to adopt V4, but stable issues aside, which filesystem would YOU choose to for database volumes for fx. Oracle or MySQL?

  17. AOL should be enough for everyone. on Youth Spend More Time on Web Than TV · · Score: 1

    Internet, scminternet. BAH! I say!
    What's wrong with AOL?
    I mean, look at all the pages they have in their system, like the one we are on now?.
    We have everything that the internet has, and more! I was on the internet once, and it was so boring.
    (think about it:)

  18. Re:I don't believe it... on 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Stars Out There · · Score: 1

    Can you express that in a number?

  19. Re:Doom 3 verus Half Life 2 on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    Q3A?,rofl, oh yeah, a lot of people are playing that. :D Now if only anyone were playing that Team Fortress mod for Q3 I might buy it but those, few, servers all sadly all empty.

  20. They are scum. They hijack your browser. on When Good Spammers Go Bad · · Score: 1

    I have seen a few pages on the net where they try to alter your default search page in Exlorer(that bar to the left too)(crtl-f i think). So after visiting that page, your explorer would now do it's surfing with a nice "evidence eliminator" logo at the top.

  21. Good for them on French Government Bans Term 'E-Mail' · · Score: 1

    And it's not just France, just about every non-english speaking country has the same problem and many have, to different degrees, choosen to replace the English terms with local ones. But just go ahead with the bashing(that we love so much) of the French.

  22. You can "check out" any time you want! on RFID Tags on Mach3 Razorblades Snap Your Photo · · Score: 2, Funny

    but you can never "leave"

  23. Friends don't let friends, on Linux Beer Hike in Slovakia · · Score: 0, Redundant

  25. I would like to fuck it up. on Big Brother Gets a Brain · · Score: 1

    It would be fun to mess with it.
    Drive back and forth on the same route, try to guess which patterns would trigger it. Like those numberplate reading traffic monitors. those could be fun to "play" with like mounting the rear plate from the car in the front of another. Just to see if they have prepared for the odd readings or will it say "average traveltime to center -3.4 min" :)
