    The disguise cloak will probably be more expensive than a rocket launcher. :)

    Also, since the only reasonable fix is a system reinstall, the virus is already nudging them in the right direction!

  3. Re:I would like to reinforce on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    From your description, that is a horrible, horrible mouse.

    A - Seriously, lift left finger to right click?
    B - Seriously, squeeze 2 buttons to work as one?
    C - Apple mouse works with Apple computer. Wow.
    D - Off button!
    E - I guess some people might prefer a trackball rather than a tilting wheel.
    F - I have never needed to clean a light-mouse. Is this a ball mouse?

    Wow.

    SMPlayer, based on mplayer. The End.

  6. Re:Some suggestions: on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    The Force is strong with this one.

  7. Re:I am tired of UK being a EU member on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    Precisely. Keep your money, make your own laws, don't invade the continent, we won't invade you.

    Sounds like the recipe for a perfect friendship.

    I am portuguese, btw.

    Wait i know this one... Infinite!

  14. Re:Why are OSes expected to do more faster? on Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista · · Score: 1

    You sir do not understand computers. The availability of extra features should have no performance impact on the use of old features. Furthermore, refinement of old features should make them run faster. And if it is not so, then you have an architectural problem.

    The problem may be more or less tricky, but the situation is really that simple.

    Then you are blessed.

  19. Re:Switch DNS Servers, NOT ISPs on Patch DNS Servers Faster · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I used OpenDNS and gave it up because it replaced firefox's feature to search google with what you type on the address bar with its own crappy search.

  25. Re:Watt?! on The Pirate Bay's Plans To Encrypt the 'Net · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That sounds good but its just not true. I run on encrypted root and home and there is no noticeable performance difference, even in big file copies. Network encryption is very very little work for the cpu.
