  1. Re:So, Fanboys... on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 1

    [Anyone have a pool going for how long Apple will stay afloat after the rapidly deteriorating Jobs shuffles off this mortal coil?]

    It survived without him for about 12 years; no reason to believe it can't survive without him permanently if he shuffles off.

  2. Attack on Has HavenCo's Data Haven Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    I suspect an attack by sea-monsters.

  3. Re:... and miss your plane. on Examining the Search and Seizure of Electronics at Airports · · Score: 1

    And, you think the solution won't be to remove your bags from the flight; if you're delaying the plane?

  4. FUD on Apple 10.4.11 Update Can Brick Macs With Boot Camp · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I'd have to call FUD on this story.

    I use bootcamp, I've updated to 10.4.11 and everything still works fine for me.

    I don't know why some people are getting errors; but, it can't be purely down to bootcamp.

  5. Wow on Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, Latest News · · Score: 1

    Suddenly, I feel very cool for not knowing or caring anything about this news.

  6. Re:What's All the Hubub? on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 1

    Ah, but I don't publish my Private Key to a repository. I publish my Public Key; my Private Key stays with me. But, there's no problem with it; if people trust freenigma to hold their Private Keys, that's their choice; I don't.

    And anyway you're not restricted to gmail with FireGPG; you can encrypt/sign any text (hotmail, yahoo, online forums etc...).

  7. Re:What's All the Hubub? on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but an important difference is:

    Frenigma - frenigma.com holds your keys,
    FireGPG - you hold your own keys,

    Some people don't like to trust outside parties with their private keys and thus care.

  8. Re:Only Gmail? on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 1

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yep, seems to work on anything(select the text & you can sign, encrypt etc... from the menu/toolbar button); for example this post. Quite a handy extension. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGZFlAppR1ZjsrA4ERAtrCAJ4mrnBVJZmZA+dJpEMyP+ k9MK99FACeIEas ulV5Ow4IdeiY8mm+tgVpuiA= =imK1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

  9. Re:Here's how it works from another perspective on How Image Spam Works · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You know, I've always wondered how true that really is.

    What sort of a brain-dead moron would actually fall for spam? There can't be many people that dumb surely?(I hope....)

  10. In other news: on Mouse Brain Simulated Via Computer · · Score: 1

    Later that very same day, the lead-researcher's cheese sandwiches disappeared mysteriously....

  11. Re:gmail signing and encryption on Must-Have Extensions for Thunderbird 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm reading this wrong but, basically I allow http://freenigma.com/ to hold my Private Key; so that it can encrypt/decrypt my webmail via their extension?.

    Call me paranoid but; no thanks ^_^.

  12. Re:I'll Answer This Later on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 2, Informative

    hmmm? The Math's not that far off; certainly not enough to whine about, here's an example: Vista Ultimate Upgrade in the US(we'll use CompUSA): $259.99 = About £132.06 Vista Ultimate Upgrade in the UK(We'll use PCWorld; may be able to find it cheaper, who knows; I'm not biting yet): £249.99 = About $490.37 So yeah that's not 2 times; but ~1.89 times the price is bad enough.

  13. Yet another example of great parenting skills on The BlackBerry Orphans · · Score: 1

    Ok, maybe its just me being traditional here; But if she's letting her kids dictate to her like that she has bigger problems than a 'small bladder'.

  14. Ah a breakthrough! on Laser Turns All Metals Black · · Score: 2, Funny

    So the Alchemists have at last achieved the long sought goal of transmuting Gold into Lead. Oh wait.......

  15. Ah but the big question is... on Second Life Hit By Massive In-Game Worm · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you get 100 rings do you turn into Super-Sonic? ^_^

  16. Coming Soon! on Singing Dolphins Do Batman · · Score: 1

    Coming soon to an ocean near you! Flipper sings 'Singing in the Rain'

  17. Re:Basic version? Yes, please! on Time For Anti-Trust 2.0? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I for one, welcome our new basic-empowered overlords.

  18. Re:Darwinism? on FTC Looks To the Future · · Score: 1

    relax, committee's are the safest place to put stupid people.

  19. Control freaks = bad on A Security Guide For Non-Technical Users? · · Score: 1

    Let the poor non-technical people roam free; over the hills, toss cookies to the botnets, run off giant cliffs etc... Sure for a system with sensitive info I'd protect it(still wouldn't give you a guide cos im evil like that) but I don't give a toss what people do on their own home systems.

  20. Re:OK, answer me this.. on Hitch-Hackers Guide To the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Never trust a guide bearing cookies
