  1. Re:Ways to prevent jamming. on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 1

    Obviously, the best way would be space traveling sharks with laser beams mounted to their heads.

  2. Re:This must be an urban legend on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 2, Informative

    NVM... i'm a moran.

    it looked like the slashdot ad was in your sig.

    Dude... javascript and doubleclick ads in your sig?

    you should just give up man...

  4. Re:This must be an urban legend on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How could that be off topic for a discussion about jamming?

  5. Re:Call Barack Obama on New FISA Bill Would Grant Telcoms Immunity; Vote Is Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Who are you kidding?

    Pelosi loves the Bush administration.

    She refuses to hold them accountable for what they've already done, and she is more than willing to give them democratic support for any remaining plans.

  6. Re:Better educate the masses on Helping Some Students May Harm High Achievers · · Score: 1

    When "No child left behind" means lowering the bottom line of standards, you're not going to see anything different. Some people just aren't up to what we, as a society, would like to consider the lowest common denominator. So if you can't leave them where they are, you drop the lowest common denominator.

  7. Re:Konfabulator? on Google Releases Desktop Gadgets For Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    mac isn't a platform, it's a religion.

  9. Re:I wonder why Tivo ignored the flag on Microsoft Acknowledges NBC's Wish is Its Command · · Score: 1

    I got sucked into watching the last American Gladiators cause a dude from a town I lived in was on it. Luckily I've got no further obligations to it. Strictly Ninja Warrior for me now :)

  10. Re:Sensationalist FUD on U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat · · Score: 1

    Agreed, this whole article is a waste of bandwidth.

  11. Re:This is a non-issue, as it stands on World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Don't run WoW as administrator.

    On Vista I have to run the updates as admin, but WoW itself works without.

  12. Re:Hot Coffee was bad enough on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think that "Eurogamer" being the first word in the summary should have been a hint right there.

  13. Re:What's the problem? on Judge Orders TorrentSpy to Turn Over RAM · · Score: 1

    Fear not, none of that is in ram any longer. The Bosstones guy doesn't understand what he's talking about. Once you power down, the data is gone. There is no way to recover the data.

  14. Re: 15 petabytes? on CERN Collider To Trigger a Data Deluge · · Score: 3, Funny

    My quantum computer has been working on downloading the torrent for the past few weeks.

  15. Re:Confirmed! on Vista Slow To Copy, Delete Files · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have this problem on Vista and it's not so much that it's unusual... it's more mind boggling.

    I confuses me deeply... I hadn't thought to associate it with content protection. Now it's simply aggravating.

    Copying a few files, no matter what the size, pops up a "Calculating transfer time" window... I'm talking files where the total sum is 10MB even. It's unnecessary.

    The transfer itself will often go faster then the calculation. Apparently the calculation is doing more than just figuring out file transfer size.

  16. Re:Ridiculous on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 1

    Ahh I see. I was under the impression that google cached the images as well.

  17. Re:What's the problem? on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 1

    The difference here is that google isn't taking locked up personal items. It's taking publicly available information that anybody can access. Also there is no clear analogy between physical goods and intellectual property.

  18. Re:Ridiculous on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 1

    How can you see who's going to a google cache in your weblog?

  19. Re:You don't see the problem. on EU And Microsoft Clash Over Vista Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    --- Begin Sarcasm ---
    Right!

    We need to have the EU sue apple and linux producers too for destroying the anti-spyware market in their areas too!

    We have to make sure that every OS is insecure so that other companies can profit!

    --- End Sarcasm ---

    Look, I'm no fan of Microsoft, (I figure I'll be wholly on linux by the time Vista comes out) but you can't force the company to make an (more?) insecure operating system so that security companies can make their dime.

  20. Memories... on Google to Give Data To Brazilian Court · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the content of Orkut and why I stopped using it ages ago.

    The front is one of the top in this genre.

    I've seen him live a few times, he puts on a good show with a band and all.

    Does the Earth run linux?

  23. Re:pronounciation on Ask Håkon About CSS or...? · · Score: 1

    "how come" is how he describes it, it wasn't an invention of the /. folks.

    If you have an issue with how he pronounces his name, you can take it up with him:

    or
    howcome@opera.com

  24. Re:Permanently? on EMI Launches Advertising-Supported P2P Service · · Score: 1

    The other downside to illegal services is misnamed files and bad copies. If a service offered non-DRM files and a good music base at a decent price, it would be king.

  25. Old News on Chicken and Egg Problem Solved · · Score: 3, Funny

    I solved that question in a paper for a philosophy class years ago...
