  1. Re:Hoax? on IBM Wants to Port Office to Linux · · Score: 1

    Mostly Swedes have passable to excellent English skills. Given that it's a technology related position, chances of having good English skills are very high.

  2. Re:Kinda mediocre on Backlash as EMI Hunts Down the Grey Album · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it's because you're on Acid, Tool :P

  3. Re:the us and canada on Canadian Privacy Act · · Score: 1

    Actually, those statements are amazingly accurate. Canadians really do view the States that way.

  4. Re:Turbo chips on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    I mean by sticking a different chip in the same engine in a different vehicle, sometimes even made by different companies. They have to keep the performance in low-end vehicles low, so that they can sell the high-end vehicles -- with the same engine -- for more.

  5. Re:chips and cars on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that increase road vibrations though?

  6. Turbo chips on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    No, they don't want you to hack your own car so that they can sell you an expensive replacement "turbo chip" to do exactly the same thing as this.

  7. Re:Nessus on Security Probes for New Clients? · · Score: 1

    I agree that Nessus is by far the best out there for free. If I only had one to use, it would be it :)

  8. Re:Nessus on Security Probes for New Clients? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not "Nuff said." Any security person who uses only one tool is a damned fool!

  9. Re:"For kazaa users?" on VPN For Kazaa Users Launched · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    You changed your sig from a troll comment? Dude. Turn in your karma points.

  10. Re:Get a fan. on Computers/Keyboards + Dorm Room = No Zzzzzz? · · Score: 1

    I can vouch for this. It drives me nuts not having a fan on. I need the white noise to sleep, when there is *any* other noise happening in or perceivable from the same room.

  11. Re:Note to crackers on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 1

    Nice post!

  12. Re:Denver or California? on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 4, Funny

    All that this issue needed was someone cocky enough to do it! Oh, the irony!!

  13. 85 years? on Scientists Determine Structure of 1918 Flu Virus · · Score: 3, Funny

    85 years just to solve that? They really flu through it, didn't they!

  14. Re:You mean you can cripple it more? on Microsoft Develops XP 'Light' for Thailand · · Score: 1

    Shit, was at comment limit ;)

  15. Here's a link! on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 1
  16. Re:facing social isolation and loneliness on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 1

    I have to say that I'm exactly like that.

  17. Re:Holy crap! on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    But I thought we sent all those to Earth in a poll last week?

  18. Re:Taxes on Internet purchases on Amazon To Comply With Kansas Sales Tax Law · · Score: 1

    Who wants to drive all the way downtown to some stupid store, hope they have the book you want, then turn around and drive all the way home?

    Not me, thank you. I'll spend 2 minutes on my computer and have it show up the next day.

  19. Re:Microsoft Sold Me an OS! on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1

    Aha! I bet they didn't include the 64th bit! Cheap bastards!

  20. Re:Is this going to help? on Mandrake Linux Development Process Changes · · Score: 1

    I was just about to flame you, silly git.

    Yes, you did mix them up.

  21. Re:Whole article on one page on Introducing Linux to Joe Average · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that doesn't demonstrate a lack of checking input values in the story page, which I think is more interesting that parsing javascript gimmickery :)

  22. Whole article on one page on Introducing Linux to Joe Average · · Score: 5, Informative

    Using a little hack called page five of a four page story:

  23. Re:Tux not copyrighted? on Introducing Linux to Joe Average · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is copyrighted. However, the license is extremely liberal: see the Linux Penguins page for details.

  24. Re:It's shame, really. on 2.4 vs 2.6 Linux Kernel Shootout · · Score: 1

    Tell that to GNU/RMS!

  25. A very simple question with a complex answer? on Using Single Apache SSL/Non-SSL in Production? · · Score: 1

    Why?
