  1. Re:Why does bandwith cost so much in the first pla on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 1

    I though it was owned by private co like Worldcom and Earthlink... I might be wrong

  2. Re:You're all idiots on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 1

    Who told you it didnt belong to them? I bough mine... And I bought my asdl modem to. Some people *do* hate to pay 10$/month in rental charges!

    ISP data tracking : 5000$
    Costumer data 'stealed' : About 7$ per months?

  4. FBI over an Uncap case? on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 3, Interesting

    *note to self : Do not switch to Buckeyes*

    Did they send them some kind of e-mail, letter of something? I know that uncapping is done by software in some case. Did they really do with unauthorized use of computer, cable, or telecommunications property or they only installed some sort of software on THEIR machine.
    I hope that case get trown out, cause otherwise a LOT of peoples are in trouble. I mean we see those uncap software ad banner everywhere on the net.

  5. Slashdotting on Case Mod Collection · · Score: 1

    Thats site was slow even before is was featured on Slashdot. I got the story from www.crackbaby.com, on oct 23 and it took ages to load even then.
    But that prop guy is truly amazing... Check out his other work when to page come back. I mean i'd buy his racer helmet with race google if he made more of them (and even that computer)

  6. Re:Slashdot editors rip off memepool.com on Case Mod Collection · · Score: 1

    I am sorry to say, but that story was posted on www.crackbaby.com on october 23, and the story about the ghost keyboard was posted there also yesterday morning, *way* before slashdot. So both memepool and slashdot are ripoff! (not really but Its a fun game to play)

  7. The CNET article is so flawed on ISP Sued Over Suspended Email Account · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Carter said she agreed to pay half, an arrangement the company initially accepted but later rejected. At that point, she terminated the account and signed up with an alternate provider, Carter said.

    Carter says this, Carter says that... I work in a cell phone service provider, and if I got a penny for every people that *think* their account is closed only because it has been suspended by non payment... Did she REALLY call to deactivate or just assumed that the compagny she was pissed about would do it?

    There is no comment from the ISP. I cant form an opinion on that lady, who goes 14 months using a service that she didnt pay. And then starting an holy crusade cause her ISP is not ethical...

    I worked at Nortel before, and I know co-workerS who don't pay their Inet service for the last 2 years (after the huh... crash?). They SURELY won't complaint if they get caught will they? The girl is PISSED about being caught and now CNET give her a tribune to be pissed on. Sure she will be objective and tell it how it happened.

    "You can't interfere with the mail. The post office has to return a letter even when it doesn't have enough postage." (Carter says)

    Hrmm Well as the employer paid SO much to send her that email, I dont see how its comparable. Post Office *DO* lose mail anyway, hey they "lost" my Stuff magazine 3 times in the last year now... Will we push the analogy if an ISP lose an e-mail? If a byte of downloaded file get lost between you and the server?

    It may be bad faith from the ISP but dont tell me its not bad faith from her part. She had 14 months to change her e-mail address, instead she act all surprised when her account get suspended... DUH LADY! Accounting departements DO catch up, its their damn job!

  8. The FBI?? Why? on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Can someone tell me why the oh so mighty FBI had a comment in that article? I mean its the Internet, its not owned by the US (well... hmmm no its not... I think) If the FBI as anything do say in that case, so do the Mounties, and huh the Croatian Secret Service. Blah. me is rantin again. But still. I'd like to know why the FBI is a reference in that case. Shouldnt they come up with an Int'l 'net Police or something?

  9. Re:PunkBuster is evil on Using MAC Address to Uniquely Identify Computers · · Score: 1

    Same reason why they need undercover cops, its because we have undercover criminal. If they have to become cheater to bust those stupid cheater, I say go with it! As long as no one show me that punkbuster send others stuff than game related info, I am all for it!

  10. huh? on First US Camera/Phone · · Score: 1

    it will have a built-in optional flash as well built-in optional? If you dont want the BUILT IN flash they punch it with a screwdriver and it become optional?

  11. Re:Rather wrong headed, in spots on Taking Aim At The Mod Squads · · Score: 1

    Yeah... As a proof we can look at SCEA. They released the PS2-Linux kit and suddently all mod chip sale for PS2 stopped, and heaps of new homebrew games just came out
