  1. Re:Recovery... on Stolen VA Laptop Recovered · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage spyware must have called home with the portable's serial# and IP address. Of course now 24 million veterans will receive a free month offer from MSN in the mail.

  2. Re:Canadian ISPs are all Bell on Canadian ISP Shoulder Surfing · · Score: 1

    When using another ADSL ISP, the local phone company is just providing the last mile. All traffic is sent via ATM from your central office to your ISP and routed from there.

  3. Limewire is a Lemon on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 1

    www.limewire.org's download link sends you to www.limewire.com . On the download page there is a "Guaranteed No Ads or Nagware" checkmark for LimewirePRO and no checkmark for the Free Limewire.

  4. Re:Preaching to the Choir on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, but do you know about Service Pack 2?

    - Pop-up blocking
    - Local machine lockdown
    - Add-on Manager
    - Information bar instead of Active-X installation dialogs
    - a bunch of holes closed in Windows and its TCP/IP implementation
    and more. Overall a significant improvement in security. A fair comparison of browsers should be with IE+SP2.

    But Mozilla is still better, I'm addicted to tabbed browsing and the customizable search box.

  5. Better yet... on Fido Launches New Broadband Wireless Access · · Score: 0

    Now can I get cell internet *without* the voice service and run VoIP ? :^)

  6. Re:Random ramblings. (Ignore this post.) on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 0

    (10) Maybe they mean wwitv.

  7. Re:Fake? on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 0

    Maybe Donald collected it himself?

  8. Re:Allende? You're backing Allende over Pincochet? on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    South America and Europe both had their first elected Socialist government removed: around the same time in Italy, Aldo Moro was murdered as he was about to form an alliance to bring the Communist Party to power.

  9. Saddam lookalike captured on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Capture one of the half-dozen Saddam lookalike =
    Morale drop for the Iraqi resistance + Re-election prospects for W.

  10. Expired business model? on Movielink Snubs DRM-less Macs · · Score: 1

    The expiring movie business (DIVX) was a failure. Expiring downloads will fail for the same reason. And even if the DRM was 100% perfect I could still tape it with a digital camcorder.
