    You should not be using Norton or McAfee. It is well known they are insecure and a ripoff.

    I suggest Sygate Personal Firewal (free but I encorage you to buy it too) and AVG Antivirus (free but I suggest you to buy it because it is such a great product).

    All that does is write over your data with a 0. It is complicated, but it is VERY easy to recover formatted data. What you need to do is white is 7+ times with random data.

    I made a guide to using eraser, which would do the same thing. http://mboverload.no-ip.org/tech/recyle.html

    But SkyNet was evil, remember?

    Since it is run by humans it must be totally innocent and for the benifeit of the human race in general, right?

    The problem is they "derobe" in the ISS, which brings those toxic materials inside.

    First we need download speeds that are even close to our Asian neighbors.

    It is pathetic that even poor people in South Korea have lines for 20 bucks a month at 25 mbps. America the leader in tech? I beg to differ.

    Remember alot of those IP's will be within a private network. I doubt they will be handing out static IPs to lightbulbs any time soon.

    The internet is not as robust as you think. Have a few DNS servers go down (as we saw some months ago) and the whole web is fucked.

    As long as there are retarded users there will be writers to take advantage of them. For god sakes, these are the people who ignore all the warnings on earth but still open pif files just to see whats inside.

    Jumping ahead 50 years to a train tour of the Easy coast... On the left you will see North Korea, which as been towed all the way from the Pacific Ocean to Washington DC because we just felt there was no longer any difference.

    To know they would even CONSIDER such a thing is disturbing.

    haha, Slashdot readers think alike. However, I took a screenshot of the desktop with and error message, photoshopped the error message to something really scary, set that image as the desktop. Man was my coworker tripping. The dumb tech support, too =)

    That's physically impossible. The only way to do that would be a fisheye lens...and it would look fucked up then.

    The guy takes a picture of his hand, the funny bag and the table, he edits it a bit and sets the picture as his desktop background. He then tries to align the computer to the original scenery, and he takes a picture of the screen and its surrounding! If it were a Photoshop job, he'd just have to cut a hole where the screen was and paste the iBook on the otherwise unchanged (everything lined-up) image.

    .... They take a picture, put it as their backround, and then put the computer where the picture was taken. You seriously didn't figure that out?

    Also because many people listen to their music with the 4 dollar speakers Dell gave them. I laid down $160 for my speakers and I CAN hear the difference.

    Agreed. They say the processor in the iPod can't even play OGG. It'll run linux though.

    I used to buy from iTunes then I realized something. "Why am I paying for 128 kbps quality music?" Suffice to say, I never bought a track again. Now I just use iTunes to preview songs I'm going to download on P2P.

  20. Re:apple.slashdot.org? on Microsoft's Tips for Buying an MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    The only way you are going to get CD quality is 320 kbps MP3. I'm not sure what it takes for OGG.
