  1. Re:finally, one big enough for regular use on Samsung's 64-GB Solid-State Drive · · Score: 1

    I would need to buy like 10 of these for my pr0n collection, no thanks! The easiest way to fix that is to get married.

  2. Re:Easy enough, Jupiter is Jewish on Cassini Probes the Hexagon On Saturn · · Score: 1

    Heh, except for one small problem. We're talking about Saturn, not Jupiter. Saturn...Shmaturn...Vot's the difference? Oy Vey!

  3. Re:Hogwash on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Linux gets orphaned processes all the time, and you'd be blind without a method to view what's running on your machine. Thus ps , or the more useful top . Top is a little long in the tooth. Htop is where it's at.

  4. A little CEO... on AV Software Isn't Dead, But It's Not Healthy · · Score: 1

    Over a course of pesto-drenched gnocchi and sauted mussels with Trend Micro CEO Eva Chen...
    I love a little CEO on my mussels. Yessiree!
  5. Re:Anything we can do to help? on Microsoft Temporarily Closes Video Site Soapbox · · Score: 1

    ... to get soapbox shutdown permanently?

    Just say the word.

    And by word I mean; Thunderbird.

    "What's the word? Thunderbird. What's the price? .40 twice." Bums like you wine too much: see for the details.
  6. Re:For all you no-book response people on C# Book Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    Did he ask 'should I get a book'?

    No. Perhaps those of you that don't read books simply have a reading comprehension problem?

    He asked what books to get. He didn't ask what your opinion of using a book to get a jumpstart on a language is.... To recommend no book is to recommend all books.
    Hyakujo.

  7. Too Soft... on MS Security Guy Wants Vista Bugs Rated Down · · Score: 1

    Vista making microsoft became microsofter... More like Microflaccid.
  8. A Little Too Candid on Microsoft Admits to Serious Problems with OneCare · · Score: 1

    By Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Mr. Arno Edelmann, Microsoft's European business security product manager, will be separated from his career with Microsoft Europe.

  9. Understatement on Microsoft Admits to Serious Problems with OneCare · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft is not a security company. Security is important, but it's just a little part of Microsoft," said Edelmann. Now there's an understatement.
  10. Re:webmail is not the most important problem on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    ... Explain how they can recognise suspicious files and web sites. Explain them that they should be careful with their passwords. Explain them that they should do so not only at work, but also at home. You can explain all you want but they will still click on "OK" when the message, "Do you want to download a free gift." comes up.
  11. Re:Just wait.. on Enormous Amount of Frozen Water Found on Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's already happening. TFA has a link entitled: * Sun Blamed for Warming of Earth and Other Worlds... Why do they blame only Sun? I think that IBM and Apple are just as guilty, if not more.

  12. Re:Video link on How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People · · Score: 1

    Could we please get video and flash links in stories tagged "(video)" or "(flash)" like is done for PDF links? Especially things that will generate audio which might be disruptive in a work environment and when it isn't necessarily apparent in the URL. No! Don't surf at work. Let your boss know that you don't surf at work during company time and keep away from it. Surfing is a terrible time-waster and makes you look inefficient.
  13. Re:FOSS details from TFA on Looking Inside the Second Life Data Centers · · Score: 1

    ...Which is nice. However, not open-sourcing their server code is somewhat disappointing. Oh well, at least the client is open, someone else can create a FOSS server if the interest ever arises. Work, by a third party, has started on that. See http://openmetaverse.org/wiki/OpenSim for details.

  14. Re:Debian build daemons on Alternatives To SF.net's CompileFarm? · · Score: 1

    Get your software packaged by Debian

    How? I have two floss projects that I would like to do that with. Got a link?

    Sure! http://www.debian.org/

  15. Re:*Cough* Microsoft *Cough* on Worm Exploiting Solaris Telnetd Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Since when was Microsoft known for usability? Microsoft is the king of usability:

    Put a CD in the drive and it will run an installation program (or a virus or rootkit). Man, that was easy.

    Open a MS Word document and a VB script (or a virus or rootkit) will run automatically. What a time-saver.

    etc, etc.
  16. Re:Watch out! on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 1

    Here come the lobbyists.

    Who knows, maybe in Canada they can even manage to implement a Vista Tax on computer equipment, you know - to make up for all the lost revinue because of people using vista without paying for it (equivilant to the 15cent tax on all blank cd's that RIAA's lobbyists had imposed a few years ago) It's a levy, not a tax. Actually, due to that levy, file sharing was ruled legal a while back. No idea if it still is.

  17. Thickness? on Reflectivity Reaches a New Low · · Score: 1

    How thick is this stuff shown in the picture?

  18. MediaMax problem on Online Storage 2.0: Six Sites Reviewed · · Score: 1

    MediaMax's generous 25GB of storage is limited by a odd download limit of just 1GB/mo. That means it will take two years and one month to download all 25GB.

    The other services offer monthly download limits that are five to ten times the storage provided or even unlimited.

  19. Re:I've got a bad feeling about this on Star Trek To Return Christmas 2008 · · Score: 1

    Why bother if they all suck? Sucking is irrelevant if the movie pulls $50M in its opening weekend.

  20. Sign of Troble Brewing. on New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation · · Score: 1

    When a company like HID gets this jumpy it seems to me that they are hiding something. Perhaps there is a security flaw in their active cards: perhaps the crypto-algorithm is incorrectly implemented, perhaps the private key is the same for all cards at a site or perhaps the algorithm is crap (xor!) in a lower priced product. It is cause for investigation, no?

  21. Re:How did HID find out before hand? on New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation · · Score: 1

    The problem seems to be with the conference people. If everyone had kept their trap shut, then HID (and the world) would've found out AFTER it occurred. Good luck stopping that, then. This is a "Black Hat Presentation", after all - so why are they passing out notes beforehand? Are they _trying_ to get it shut down? No! They are trying to get people to attend. How many people would/could attend a conference with no specific information about the talks?

  22. Re:Security through Risibility? on New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation · · Score: 1

    "He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called?" She's called... 'Incontinentia'. 'Incontinentia Buttocks'.

    > What is a grue? A grue is a fat, balding, middle-aged man who likes to throw chairs and curse at companies that offer better employment packages.

  24. Re:Aren't there laws against this? on Software Deletes Files to Defend Against Piracy · · Score: 1

    ...Besides, if the author sells activation keys, he knows who bought which one, and thus whom to sue when one of those keys gets posted on warez sites....
    Just because my key is misused doesn't mean that I posted the key. It could be a coincidence or it could have been stolen by someone with access to my computer.
  25. Re:Will they actually do it? on AACS Device Key Found · · Score: 1

    I, like most Americans, don't have the time or interest to watch most movies more than once. That's why Blockbuster Video exists. Therefore, I couldn't care less about DRM.... With the crap that is coming out now, my mates and I don't even find it worth putting a downloaded movie onto a DVD-R disc. It is a waste of 50 cents and 30 minutes of our time.
