  1. Re:RIAA cares about the soundtrack on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    Don't see the difference, they want people to hear the music so people will buy the CDs. So essentially legal or illegal movie copies doesent differ from their POV.

  2. Re:Well. on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    You kinda thought that the Motion Picture Association Of America (MPAA) would care more than the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA)....

  3. Re:Well. on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    ccording to the RIAA, if you rent or buy a movie, its for you only.
    What does the RIAA have to say about that? Thought they only cared about music.

  6. Re:Too funny... on Microsoft Looking to Sell Slate Magazine · · Score: 1

    Then I read the /. summary blurb and see that the conspiracy theory's already there! :-)

    Bring out the tin foil hat! There's no doubt Microsoft is counter-conspiring you as a part of their plot to take over the world.

    "The renvenge of the teletubbies" would sure surprise me 100% more.

  8. You havn't gotten it on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 1
    The golden rule of systems upgrades:


    When you upgrade Windows and everything goes to hell, it's Microsofts fault. (crappy programming)

    When you upgrade Linux and everything goes to hell, it's your fault. (incompetent admin)
  9. Catch 22 on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    You can't create a camera to record a movie with since it can be used to record an illegal copy of the movie, so movies will cease to exist. As will books, music, all culture.

  11. Re:Be a rebel! on Software Monoculture in Schools? · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong. on The Stealth Desktop: Sight and Sound With Slackware · · Score: 2, Informative

    How'bout

    alsamixer
    alsactl store
    echo "alsactl restore" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    That way it automatically restores the sund at every reboot.

  16. Download them from DC? on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 4, Funny

    The law is leaving the poor kids with no option but to illeagally acquire the games (warez). Great job!

  23. Remember the old days on 'Stealth' Worm Hinders Sandbox Analysis · · Score: 4, Informative

    Remember the old days of self modifying assembly code?

    (ie:
    instruction purpose
    1-20 alter instruction 21-40
    21-40 alter instruction 1-20, jump to 1
    1-20 do something
    21-40 alter 50-70 and 1-20
    50-70 do something, jump to 1-20)

    All alteration naturally is done in the most tricky of ways.

    Ah, those were the days.

  24. Bouncing mails problem on Spammers Start Abusing Cell Phones · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I've been fooling around with pop3 servers for quite some time, and i've discovered that if you put a message like this in the box:
    Subject: Hey
    From: John Doe <qwerty@domain.com>
    Sender: John Doe <qwerty@domain.com>
    Content-type: text/plain

    [a very long message, say perhaps 250-300 mb]
    And retreive it with fetchmail on a system that uses Sendmail, it will pass it on to sendmail, which will reject it, and bounce it back to the sender... which is bad. Especially since there is a very few mail clients which does not crash when they receive messages in that size.
  25. Will AV pull a Darl McBride? on Microsoft Employee Allegedly Hacked AltaVista · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The question is: Will AV pull a Darl McBride, and claim that MSN search was based on AV, and should cease and desist immediately, and start suing everyone who uses MSN search for IP infringements?

    Naturally they will in that case refuse to show the sources of AV, making it impossible for Microsoft to prove the opposite.
