  1. Re:Elevator Garage? on Very High Tech - Elevator Garages in an NYC Hi-Rise · · Score: 1

    Plus with the right setup you could get a lot of that energy back when the car goes down again.

    If you're going to fill their logs, the least you could do is add inappropriate referrer urls.

    "Why are we getting hits from this .... tub ... girl. You'd better check out this site so we can send a cease and desist letter."

  4. Re:More details on how he did this... on Man Hacks 911 System, Sends SWAT on Bogus Raid · · Score: 1

    He also tried to do the same thing to someone else who was "cheating in an online game". So the next time you're speed hacking in CSS, some *real* counter terrorists might break down your door.

    5 free minutes at the internet cafe so that people can read and vote on their legislation I'm guessing you haven't actually read much legislation.

    "hey, we need some more power to run our iPods."

    "sure thing, realigning the transmitter."

    "A little further to the north."

    "Ok."

    "AAAARRRR, it burns, it burns. Perfect."

    Don't warn us, warn the server admins ;)

    I've got enough people on my list already. Now where did I put my stapler?

    LED's might provide light, but on the dark side of the moon heat would be your biggest problem.

  12. Re:Get with the times. on Orange Box In Stores Wednesday · · Score: 1

    In AU stores I believe the orange box is retailing between AU$79 and AU$99. But with the current exchange rate you'd be much better off buying direct from steam. When I pre-ordered it only cost AU$54 including VISA's currency conversion fees, and I believe the exchange rate has tipped even further in our favour.

    It's Monday here in AU you insensitive clod.

  14. Re:Obligatory on Copy Protection Backfires on Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Informative

    That was the *first* answer to AACS (see sig for the second, there may be a 3rd and 4th by now). Up until now AACS was used by *both* HD-DVD and Blueray. The same keys were used for both.

    Now there are disks using BD+, which of course we don't have a key for. Or AFAIK even a working implementation.

  15. Re:Terrible Write Up on Adding Capsaicin Improves Anesthetic Treatment · · Score: 1

    I wonder how it fairs against that pain ray that was on here a while ago.

  16. Re:It's back... on Federal Government Inadvertently Deleted Ca.Gov · · Score: 1

    But did you query their DNS while it was broken? Yeah it's probably filtered out by now, my point was merely that *some* dns servers *may* have whatever incorrect information was previously broken.

  17. Re:It's back... on Federal Government Inadvertently Deleted Ca.Gov · · Score: 1

    Some DNS caches may still take a while to purge incorrect data.

  19. Re:Ok on Survey Finds Canadians Support Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    No, the simple answer is; "give me the service I am paying you for". If the ISP is overselling bandwidth, and people are now starting to use the service they were sold. It's not the customers fault. Or the fault of the new services that are starting to crop up. Use the money I am giving you to build the infrastructure you need to provide the service you have promised. If you don't have enough money to build the infrastructure, charge more, or promise less.

  20. Re:Truecrypt on UK Government Can Demand You Hand Over Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    If you use truecrypt it is therefore plausible that there *IS* a hidden volume, especially if the first volume has not used the space at the end of the volume.

  21. Re:can we start talking nerf/buff yet? on Team Fortress 2 - From Old To New · · Score: 1

    Bring bank bouncing grenades, what's the point of defending with them if you can't kill by lobbing them around corners? Scouts all giving x2 to cap is a little overpowered especially against the last capture point. How about a +2 limit for any one capture point, so more than 2 scouts doesn't cap any faster.

    So apple would only need to allow customers to buy their hardware with no OS. AFAIK you can already buy the OS separately. They wouldn't be forced to change their OS to run on your beige box.
