  1. I thought TPB (and proxies) were 'trying it out'. They appear to still be 'trying it out' weeks later. Malwarebytes (full version) already blocks them so meh!

  2. People with disabilities on Bill Gates Says He's Sorry About Control-Alt-Delete (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    We had an instance where one of our customers only had one hand. Pretty difficult to do the three finger salute with one hand. They were resorting to putting things in their mouth to get the third key. I bought a cheap USB keyboard, took out the PCB, figured out what to short out to get CTRL-ALT-DEL, and put it in a box with a single button. Problem solved.

  3. Re:Malwarebytes on 400,000 PCs Infected With Fake "Antivirus 2009" · · Score: 1

    Endo, you and me are Cwazy Ninja Muppets. Let's start a Ninja Turkle effort!, cos the corporations who do Anti-virus aren't listening! DAMN THEM!!!!

  4. The IT Crowd on Interesting Computer Science Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Download 4oD, and watch series 1, 2, and 3 of the IT Crowd, online. This will make you laugh and make you want to commit suicide instantaneously, unless you are a ginger good looking bird, or are Irish, or a geek with an afro with a parting. They even feature Slashdot in their shows! See if you can see which one!

  5. Re:Malwarebytes on 400,000 PCs Infected With Fake "Antivirus 2009" · · Score: 1

    If Malwarebytes doesn't work I'd be surprised. I sent CA/eTrust viruses and never even got a response! What I do is install ZtreeWin, log every file in every directory on hard drives, filter exe, dll, ocx, and sys files, tag all, search for 'UPX0' and decide if it should be there or not :P But then again, I'm a cwazy ninja muppet!

  6. Maths, Science and fun on Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    Become a CSI :-) TV makes it look glamorous and everything on TV is real! Isn't it!

  7. Books with parts lists on Best Electronics Kits For Adults? · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid I took two books out of the local library which changed my life forever. They're both by Tom Duncan, and they are titled 'Adventures with Electronics' and 'Adventures with Microelectronics'. ISBN numbers are 0719535549 and 0719536723. One uses a board called an s-Dec, the other a standard breadboard. You can still get the books from Amazon, and they're great for getting started with electronics. Highly recommended!

  8. Re:Obligatory on South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal · · Score: 1

    Just watched it in the UK. Funny thing is most people in the UK wouldn't get this episode until a satellite/cable channel airs it. Which is why we download things instead of watching them and complain about having to pay a TV license. The world has changed, the rules stay the same. Wake up UK! Nobody buys a 42" LCD for TV in the UK, it's either a big monitor, a babe magnet, or you're football crazy and need a lobotomy!

  9. Hushmail on Hushmail Passing PGP Keys to the US Government · · Score: 1

    I sent someone who shall not be named a hushmail and I hope they stand by their conviction and deny all attempts to get details. It's personal and has not in any way been criminal or civily prosecutable in nature. (#18826893) and BTW all charges are being dropped - according to my ex :P BITCH!

  10. QAM on Terabit-Per-Second Class Connections over FTTH · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is frequency based. It's 4 way (hence the 'quadrature thing) They're been doing way more than QAM in the last decade, they're doing 64-way amplitude modulation, with frequency spectrums (cable) for ages How the fuck are they using multi-frequency modulation techniques on light rays (fibre) ? This is either crap, very good or deserves a Nobel prize! Is this an early April 1st ??

  11. Re:Pat Benatar said it best on Major UK Child Porn Investigation Flawed · · Score: 1

    Vote! Mind you, the government allways get in, don't they, so what's the point. Make your own government, savour the power, and become like them. You'll never be free.

  12. Re:FP! on Major UK Child Porn Investigation Flawed · · Score: 1

    My ex-partner just accused me of downloading child porn and I haven't so FP back at you! First Pragmatist!

  13. Re:But it gets the votes! on Major UK Child Porn Investigation Flawed · · Score: 1

    I'm now in the unfortunate situation of being accused of being an attemptded rapist *and* having child porn. I have no child porn but it's scary. I don't know how to trust women anymore.

  14. Re:German anyone? on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 1

    This is probably redundant but it's Dutch, not German. Twente is in the Netherlands.

  15. Re:Journalistic Conflict of Interest on Conspiracy Theorists, Meet The Moon · · Score: 1

    That and the fact that there's a bloody great big international SPACE STATION up there with people in it. What does he think the space shuttle does ? hide behind the clouds for a couple of days ? Space radiation indeed! All those kids chatting to the astronauts on amateur radio are going to be soooo disappointed when they find out they've been h04x0r3d

  16. Give them some credit on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1
    They do provide a handy web tool here: http://www.anti-leech.com/index.php?option=securit y_test

    I tried it on microsoft.com and it gave me directories I wouldn't have known about while at the same logging anti-leech in microsoft's web-logs.

    Thank you anti-leech. I'll be visiting again :-)
