  1. Re:They must love Spam on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 1

    Hmm, boxtrapper is eeeeevullll - it sends a response to every incoming spam. It makes the problem worse, instead of better. That is just plain unconcionable.

  2. They must love Spam on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 1

    The even have href="mailto:contact@flock.com" right on their index page.

    Totally clueless losers.

  3. Mutating viruses on Common Malware Enumeration Initiative · · Score: 1

    Hmm, how long till the first virus that is designed to mutate in order to make the naming system get a numeric overflow?

  4. A plot to reduce the number of known viruses on Common Malware Enumeration Initiative · · Score: 1

    So now the number of known MS Windows viruses will go down 90% from 10,000,000,000 to only 1,000,000,000, while the number of Linux viruses will go down from 5 to well, about 5...

  5. Microsoft Support? on Common Malware Enumeration Initiative · · Score: 1

    Well damn, why are tax payers funding this - should it not be a function of Microsoft Support???

  6. Re:Did I miss something? on Bugzilla Delivered to the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I used to be with it, but then it changed. Now what I'm with isn't it and it isn't it either. The solution is easy though, just wait a few years for it to revert back the way it was.

  7. Re:Ahh, how amusing... on Dell Offering "Open" PC · · Score: 1

    Why FreeDOS? They need something on there to test the machine. Contrary to public perception, Dell does actually test their products very thoroughly before shipping them.

  8. Re:good start on Dell Offering "Open" PC · · Score: 1

    Not Ubuntu, but I got 4 Dells with free Red Hat discs, which as 99.999% identical to Ubuntu...

  9. Dell will ship machines with *any* OS - just ask on Dell Offering "Open" PC · · Score: 1

    Dell will ship PCs and servers with anything you want preloaded.

    All you got to do, is buy one, configure it the way you want, send them the disk drive and ask them to make more.

    I received four Dell machines with Red Hat installed a couple weeks ago.

  10. punter == mark on Sun Eyes PostgreSQL · · Score: 2, Informative

    American slang for 'punter' is 'mark'. A gambler, but more specifically, a loser.

  11. Re:Why would video stores want this? on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 1

    Not just that. It kills the return revenue and the late charge revenue. People who bring movies back sometimes rent the next one.

  12. Copy it first on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 1

    then play the copy as many times as you want, or make as many copies of the copy as you want. How is this better or more secure than any other bootleg reduction method?

  13. Re:When.. on Music Labels Charge Too Much For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "complete and total morons"

    Brought to you by the hyper intelligent makers of Hip-hop and Rap music...

    They need government protection to make money, since they are too dumb to figure out how to make money any other way.

  14. Re:DRM will never work on Intel Stands Up For Consumers in Next-gen DVD War · · Score: 1

    Yes but, pay *me* M$10 and I will gladly develop you a better DRM that will actually work this time, really, honest...

  15. Re:Google forgot to add a disclamer? on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    better: "this report may contain certain forward looking statements..."

  16. Re:Google Kowtows to China on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    I think what really irks the Taiwanese is that Google kowtows to the hoi polloi...

  17. Re:Solution on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    Hmm, how about GNU/Taiwan? Taiwan Roc(ks)...

  18. What's in a name? on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Germany is actually Deutchland. Greece is actually Hellas. The Sea of Gallilee is actualy the Kinneret. ... Yet, we all know who/what people are talking of.

  19. Re:Auto channel selection? on Wireless Positioning · · Score: 1

    The better ones do. Industrial grade APs have many more features than commercial grade junk.

  20. Re:You are 220 meters North of "Linksys" on Wireless Positioning · · Score: 1

    Whenever I do a scan I get several linksys boxes and all on channel 6. If only Linksys had the sense to make the default channel random - sigh...

  21. Re:Horrible headline on Linux Gains Lossless File System · · Score: 1

    I had a disk corruption on NTFS. Usually it works fine, but it sure isn't bullet proof.

  22. Re:Will be able to write a document without AdSens on Google & Sun Planning Web Office · · Score: 1

    Easy: Use Firefox with the Ablock plugin.

  23. V0.1 vs V1.0 on Linux Gains Lossless File System · · Score: 1

    I suppose the released version is lossless, compared to their first development version, which was a wee little bit buggy?

  24. Re:Horrible headline on Linux Gains Lossless File System · · Score: 1

    It depends on your reference. It is lossless compared to FAT and NTFS. In that context, it is a huge breakthough...

  25. A new identity on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    Actually, a total disaster is a good time to get a new identity and walk away from all your debt...
