  1. Re:Some of the best things come from Estonia on Estonian Internet Voting Called a Success · · Score: 1

    My High School German teacher was from Estonia, she was pretty damn sweet. Well not really cool, but she was actually a really good German teacher. And she worked for the CIA doing "translations" since she knew English, Russian, Estonian, and German.

    Yes, iPods are for listening to. Except the Nano also has the same abilities as the ipod photo. So if your screen is wrecked and you can't look at photos then this is a problem.

    Because we don't need someone saying the same thing every article about an MP3 player... Every article some troll says wow this MP3 player is useless to me because it doesn't play OGG... Ok buddy we got it the first time you posted it when the IPOD came out, and when the IPOD v2, 3, 4 and the Creative Players and the Dell players, you don't need to tell us about OGG every article about a player that is titled an MP3 player for a reason...

    Why did this take so long to figure out? MRE's have been self-heating for a long time and the heater in them gets really hot in less time...

  14. Re:Uh ... on 64-Bit Windows Releases Now Available · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Because they have gotten alot of bad press about being behind Linux on the 64 bit release schedule for ~2 years. Now it is "released" but it is still sortof a closed release. Remember Microsoft has a really good marketing division, this is one of their achievements.

  15. Wow... Ohio State Blocks it on Spyware or Researchware? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Marketscore is Spyware
    You have been redirected here because your computer attempted to contact a Marketscore proxy server. While it is undetermined whether or not you intended to sign up for the Marketscore service, you should be informed of the following:

    * Your communications through Marketscore are not secured:

    Even though your browser displays a lock or key and indicates that you are using a secure connection (the URL begins with https://), your traffic is being tunneled through a Marketscore proxy which has direct, unencrypted access to your "secure" connections. Secure connections should always be made directly to the intended target. The Marketscore site certificate could be used to masquerade as any domain, even after being uninstalled.

    * Proxying could threaten University security:
    Your confidentiality, and that of other OSU services, students, staff and faculty could potentially be compromised since usernames and passwords could be recovered from data collected by Marketscore (previously Netsetter) or its future owners or management. As a student or staff member of The Ohio State University, you are granted access through your login name and password, which could be accessed by unauthorized third-parties through your use of a proxy such as Marketscore.

    * Proxying does not improve internet connection speeds: While Marketscore or any similar service may claim to improve connection rates, this is not shown in research.

    * It can be construed as a violation of Resnet and the University's Acceptable Use Policy: "Users will not attempt to circumvent the ResNet firewall or any other established network services" [AUP, ResNet]. Proxying through a third party such as Marketscore does just that.

    * Marketscore can update itself: Marketscore software can quietly (without user notificatation/intervention) update itself. This means arbitrary code can be executed on your machine at any time.

    In order to resume normal web browser activity, you must remove Marketscore from your computer. Below is a guide for removing this Spyware. To be certain that Marketscore is fully cleaned from your system, these instructions must be completed in their entirety.

    Remove Marketscore:

    Uninstall Marketscore
    Open the Control Panel
    Click Start->Control Panel (or if Control Panel does not appear, Start->Settings->Control Panel), click Add or Remove Programs
    Find the Marketscore (OR Netsetter) item in the list, and click to Remove it.
    Note: If Marketscore/Netsetter do not appear in the Control Panel, then you are infected with a self-installing variant of the spyware which you will have to remove using a "hidden" uninstall feature:
    ResNet marketscore removal batch tool
    Download and run MSremove.bat

    If, after following these instructions, your machine has not been cleaned of Marketscore, please contact the ResNet Support Center at 2-HELP (2-4357).

    Equip your computer with software to protect against other Spyware and remove possible lingering elements (registry entries, etc.) of Marketscore:

    In order to assure that your computer is free of other elements that can compromise your privacy and security, ResNet highly recommends that you install software that will detect and remove Spyware.

    The two leading applications are:
    Ad Aware - The personal edition is available for free download at http://www.lavasoft.com
    Spybot Search & Destroy - This software is freely available at http://security.kolla.de
    Install one of these (installing both can cause conflicts), be sure that the spyware definitions are up to date, and scan your system periodically. Doing this, in addition to protecting your privacy and security, will help keep your computer clean and running efficiently.

    This lameness filter really sucks.... I'm not sure how i feel about OSU blocking it. I guess they do it because it hurts their network, but what if they block something else?

    I can already compile KDE in under an hour with a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ and a gigabyte of ram.
