  1. Right... on California AG Says He'll Sue Diebold · · Score: 1

    "Claiming a produuct is fit for a purpse when you know it isn't is fraud."

    You mean like using a Linux distro as a Key Distribution Center via Kerberos 5 ? "But they said that it was a secure!" Yeah so what. If you sued everyone who had vulnerabilities in their "advertized as secure" software we wouldn't have Mandrakesoft, SUSE, Windows XP, OSX, FreeBSD, etc...

    All software has security flaws!

  2. Really... on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    "Anyone can look around the room and see who is not participating."

    You mean like when your in the bathroom and everyone is getting high but you? Why is it that religion or patriotism is looked down upon and stopped right away for our own safety but I can't go anywhere on campus without seeing people on hard illegal drugs? It's not just the students either, because our football coach regularly buys his coke from one of the players(also a dealer). It just seems to me people get way to upset about the wrong things...

    Stop teaching history?

  4. Yeah but... on Step By Step: Building a MythTV PVR for $635 · · Score: 1

    Can you get a dual-layer DVD Burner in your Tivo so you can burn stuff when your HD fills up?

  5. Stupid... on No Secret Ballot for Military Personnel? · · Score: 1

    Why does it surprize anyone that large businesses usually like the Republican Party better? They usually want less restrictions on business and lower taxes. People should know by now just about any large business like that will be more Republican leaning.

  6. All based on trust on Vote Tabulator Security Hole Exposed · · Score: 1

    Well we have always had to trust "the guys who move the machines, the voting site admin people". Just because it is electronic doesn't change the trust part of it.

  7. Television? on 10Gbit to the Home by 2010 · · Score: 1

    I haven't watched TV for years after getting cable internet. I won't have to wait for some new speed boost for that to happen.

  8. Rediculous on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 1

    I am an American highschool student and all of these books were required reading. Obviously you haven't the slightest clue what your talking about. Not only that but the top 20 books on the list can be found in almost all local book stores. It is so scary how many foreigners think American's don't know about life and culture in other countries yet go on spreading idiotic lies that they heard about American's without even knowing for themselves or atleast trying to validate these statements.

  9. Actually... on Microsoft Patents sudo · · Score: 1

    "Where would we be today Wine makers had patented the fermentation process before beer had existed?

    Actually historians are not certain which beverage came first. Although wine was found in 7000 year old Babylonian pots, a recipe for beer was found on a tablet from over 6000 years old. There isn't any real proof that wine came first.
  10. You mean... on Two Strikes for Eolas Plug-In Patent · · Score: 1

    "Sad, I guess Universities are just like any other for-profit corporation these days."

    You mean they want to make money?

  11. Eh? on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    "I'm a liberal because the Founding Fathers were liberals."

    I'm not sure if you are aware of this but liberal and conservative and relative terms. For instance in Australia the people with Republican ideas are what they call liberals and the other way around. Well you are right...The founding father's were liberal...compared to England. But then again even liberals in the US would be considered conservative in Europe.
  12. Wired Magazine on Telly MC2100, a Linux-based PVR/Media Center · · Score: 1

    According to Wired magazine this PVR is "Pricey. Crashes frequently. Lackluster, awkward operating system."

  13. What? on Aruze Develops Linux-Based Arcade Machine System · · Score: 1
    Am I the only one who judges a game on how fun it is and not what OS or platform is uses? I'd take a fun game over a game that runs on Linux anyday.

    P.S. If you think you can't make Windows secure you guys really need to read the NSA white papers on securing Windows.

  14. Missing anything? on Wi-Foo: The Secrets of Wireless Hacking · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Steps to securing my WLAN:


    1.Change default router login password
    2.Enabled firewall
    3.Mac address filtering
    4.AES encryption with non-dictionary 15 charcter passphrase
    5.Disabled SSID broadcast
    6.Updated to latest firmware
    7.Disabled remote router login
    8.Enabled 802.11g only
    9.Updated to latest wirelss network card drivers

    Am I missing anything really obvious?


  15. Wow! on Fun With Passwords? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nice I just added everyones passwords from their stories into my personal dictionary. Who knows it might save me tons of time when trying to crack a system and the dictionary attack actually works!

  16. What have I been saying?! on Amateurs Pushing the Dreamcast's Boundaries · · Score: 2, Funny
  17. This joke is just plain dumb! on SGI & NASA Plan 10240-Processor Altix Cluster · · Score: 1

    Doom 3 is not "that" hardware intensive. The latest beta plays just fine on a Radeon 9800 Pro that has been out for quite some time. These jokes are getting so old!

  18. System Specs on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 1

    The latest Doom 3 beta played alright on my Athlon XP 2500+ with 512MB of DDR PC2700 with my Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT. Although the framerate dropped very low during some firefights I don't think it ever really reached the point of "unplayability". Just FYI.

  19. What?! on Sega Dreamcast Gets Rogue RPG Conversion · · Score: 1

    Dead? Where have you guys been the last 3 years. DC is bigger then it has ever been.

  20. Interesting... on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've got a wireless network home media device...It's called a PC!

  22. I'm hoping... on Dance Dance Revolution Hastens Heart Attack · · Score: 1

    The jokes don't start coming for this one. Come on guys heart attacks are serious and I don't think you would want us laughing if you were having one.

  23. When will? on Spider-Man 2 Reviewed [updated] · · Score: 5, Funny

    When will the Indian version hit theatres in America?

  24. Two words! on DoJ - Making Data Public Would 'Crash System' · · Score: 1
