    It is "couldn't care less".

    The rest of your post is as accurate as your useage of that phrase.

    It says consumer, not average consumer. What is your problem?

  3. Re:One flaw with Mozilla & Firebird. on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    instaneously?

    How is it optimized for tabs? By the fact that random popups can force an entirely new window not just a tab.

    I use firbird and mozilla all day but your post is just some kind of wierd fanboyism.

  4. Re:Yay! on Evolution 1.5 has Been Released · · Score: 1

    Can you drag emails to the calendar where it will make an appointment automatically?

    Lack of that feature was really annoying last time I used evolution (admittedly a long time ago!).

  5. Re:Rich country? on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1

    Whats a homeowners association?
    I live in europe (uk), maybe I have just never heard of them.

    My house isnt particularly noisy except for extreme traffic noise, A bus passes about 8 metres away every 20 minutes (though not at night). Worse are the dickheads in their small cars that they have fitted a noisy exhaust to.

    "The people who benefit from these things should be the ones paying for them"

    This attitude is why I am glad to live in Europe, people try to look after each other a bit more.

  6. Re:But I am using it right now? on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Yeah its good, I wouldnt use normal kazaa.

    Now where am I going to get my 5mb porn clips from :-(

  7. Re:Broken already? on Yahoo! Develops Anti-Spam Architecture · · Score: 1

    I can think of better reasons it wont work, look at spammers using throw away ISP accounts, they get closed down too but the spammers just move on. So the spammers will do one or both of the following

    * Set up new accounts, spam the fuck out of everyone for 24/36/48 hours until their domain key is revoked (or whatever).

    * Steal other peoples domain keys/infect users with viruses to send on their behalf.

    An easier to administer solution is to have an MD5 hash(or even more expensive to compute) of the message and recipient(s) in the header. If the recipient has software to analyse this it will let them know for sure its not spam, if they dont then no difference for them they can see the spam as normal.

    They could still hijack lusers computers but their rate of being to email will be severlely lowered.

    "Just don't attack us"

    Iraq didn't attack you.. not very easy to live with after all.

    You have some of our UK citizens and aren't going to give them a fair trial.
    A couple of examples from the "US: Easy to live with!" book.

    Sounds like they had a weed grow :-)

  11. Re:Pretty boring on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1

    Agreed, its ugly as shit. Its also terribly unoriginal as we've seen the PC equivalent many times, and usually with a much better finish.

  12. Re:#1 on Ten Immutable Laws of Security on More Info on Debian.org Security Breach · · Score: 1

    That law makes much less sense on multiple user systems (i.e the subject of the article).

    On this subject I find http://uk.pricerunner.com very useful.

    I dont use kelkoo on purpose in protest at their blatant spamming and clogging up of google.

    Yes it was excellent seeing the changes a new CSS file could make.
    I think they have done a good job and I am normally too backwards to appreciate CSS.

    You said "has compromised thousands of machines across the globe? " lol, you have no idea what you are talking about do you.

  20. Re:Damn those lawyers! on GameSpy Sends DMCA-Based C&D To Security Researcher · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Yep they've really done it.

    The guys site is interesting I liked this paragraph about UT2003

    Papers->Unreal: Found the cd-key used by the demo of UnrealTournament 2003. UT2DEM-UT2DEM-UT2DEM-UT2DEM, this cd-key is not a standard key so cannot be used in the retail game (also if you skip the initial validation check) and has some interesting benefits (for example it can be used by more players in the same moment). I must continue my tests to see how to easily implement it because there is a problem with the generated hash and I don't know why. The right hash of this key is c44a7b7b1624e9d459c22fac61dc9dcc and I have already successfully used it to join an online retail server using a non-demo map through a modificated version of Unrspfed. I think this thing is enough useless but it is funny 8-)
  21. Re:Am I the only one? on Not Just Eye Candy At Freedesktop.org · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Agreed. I like to look at eye candy, once or twice - I might even spend 10 minutes going "ooooh" and pissing around with things but when I am working they will all get switched off if possible.

    I cant think of any eye candy advances (in windows XP, lol!) that help my productivity. Even looking at apples amazing new features doesnt impress me. The pseudo 3d user switching effect has already been done on a linux WM (when moving workspaces). Expose etc doesn't seem to give any more advantages than normal abilities - its just animated.

    Still... I'm not likely to start using ratpoison anytime soon :-o

    Never mind cost and the fact its unnecessary its actually detrimental, what fool chooses to pour another ~70watts of heat into a server if they can avoid it?

  23. Re:Concerned on Google Expanding To IRC? · · Score: 1

    Good theory, One of googles problems is finding the relevant link for search terms, this will help that.

    I imagine they would have to extend the processing to a few lines around the line containing the url to pick up the question or statement that prompted the url.

    Perhaps it would cause an increase in bots - to spam urls to increase their googlerank.

    Sure hackers write viruses. The quote actually makes sense or are you claiming that hackers can't write viruses.

    Crackers are mostly a subset of hackers.
