    its my understanding that google backs up their backups. queue backup song

  2. its life jim but not as we know it

  3. Re: The future of capitalism on After Silk Road 2.0 Bust, Eyes Turn To 'Untouchable' Decentralized Market · · Score: 1

    i cant see how steganography can anonymize a connection and hide a transaction when the end point is public knowledge. it is also not trivial to categorize a data stream as encrypted or not so further discussion isnt needed. i dont know the device he/she is talking about but im guessing its just an average basic web services filter that would disallow everything thats not allowed.

  4. Re: Be careful on Website Peeps Into 73,000 Unsecured Security Cameras Via Default Passwords · · Score: 1

    you must be the new guy

  5. Re: The future of capitalism on After Silk Road 2.0 Bust, Eyes Turn To 'Untouchable' Decentralized Market · · Score: 1

    government sponsored capitalism and unbounded individual capitalism are the only types i hate. capitalism as an idea is great but the current system could use some work.

  6. We shouldnt want to get rid of patents on Open Source Initiative, Free Software Foundation Unite Against Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Patents and Software Patents are a problem due to the limitations thats imposed. There would be no problem if there was restrictions in respect to original ownership and limited commercial gain only. At the end of the day the system as it stands overly protects commercial interests and overly limits human interactions.

  9. Violence is begotten!

  10. Money motivates mongers on Swiss Gov't: Downloading Movies and Music Will Stay Legal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Real artists want everyone to enjoy their performance regardless of monetary reward. Real artists are also pirates that have chosen to spend their money wisely. Real artists are not complaining about supposed theft of digital copies because the poor artist is well-known. Burn, Hollywood, Burn!

  11. pft @ homeless on FBI Arrests LulzSec and Anonymous Hackers · · Score: 1

    he just doesnt want them to find the server farm

  12. Re:oh, God on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    Its OK - no-one read it anyway (maybe they will now). ;)

  13. Re: Your point on OSDL CEO: Microsoft Has to Accept Linux · · Score: 1

    Linux on the desktop needs a good desirable feature to differentiate it ...

    Most GNU/Linux distributions are developer-friendly as opposed to the constrictive alternate operating systems. :)

  14. Re:Xoops + xHelp on Keeping Track of All of Your Tasks? · · Score: 1

    Drupal + the Project module could also work. :)

  15. Re:removing white space from a document? on Why Bill Gates Wants 3,000 New Patents · · Score: 1

    Removing repeated data is called compression [or crunching if youre old-school].

  16. Re:You know what they say... on Why Bill Gates Wants 3,000 New Patents · · Score: 1

    Interesting, if you google for this phrase only a Ballmer & Patents news article turns up. Im disappointed that someone thought of it first of course. :P

  17. You know what they say... on Why Bill Gates Wants 3,000 New Patents · · Score: 1

    A patent a day keeps the competition away.

  18. Lest we forget on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    There have been a wide variety of floppy disk dimensions, styles, formats and copy-protection mechanisms.

    We shall remember the disk which is spelt with a k.

  19. Microsoft is also guilty on BBC In Trouble Over Free Music · · Score: 1

    The first tune I heard on a PC was a midi by one of the great early composers and it is distributed by Microsoft.

    Sharing is caring. :)

  20. What should WE call these kinds of people? on The Internet Archive Sued Over Stored Pages · · Score: 1

    Luddites is the term used for anti-industrial people but there is no term known for anti-technological people AFAIK. :)

    The best reply may be inserted into history...

  21. Re:Bill Gates is quite a philanthropist on Bill Gates to Receive Honorary UK Knighthood · · Score: 1

    A modern day Robin Hood? :)

    I hope the sword slips! [blame the backdoors]

    Also, I spit on your last comment. FSF is doing more for the computing industry than any 'entrepreneur' could ever do - get your head out of the sand.

  22. Re:POSIX? on Mike Hall on Choosing Embedded Linux over Windows · · Score: 1

    Bastardized is the opposite of standardized?

  23. Re:Truth in bias on Mike Hall on Choosing Embedded Linux over Windows · · Score: 1

    IANAD[eveloper].

  25. Sounds cool to me on A Barcode Driven Kitchen and Grocery List? · · Score: 1

    This is sortof like the fridge that keeps track of its contents but would be a lot more convenient. It could be used by small shops to track their stock also - maybe a personal and business edition of the software would be cool.

    Patented???
