    Vista is not so bad after all!

  3. Re:It's done right in Ubuntu on Microsoft To Disable Autorun · · Score: 1

    And you don't read TFA to put a proper comment.

    Windows does this too, but it is deem

  4. New Slogon for Department of Defense on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 1

    Closed Gates, Open Windows!

    You know it's bad when its secretary has a name "Gates"...

  5. Face it, the law will change on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    No matter what you like, no matter what the constitution says, the fact is that online shopping WILL BE THE MAJORITY in the future. Then where does the state get the money? They are already bankrupt. The law has to allow them to tax more.

  6. On another news on Microsoft Won't Vouch For Linux · · Score: 1

    Redhat isn't vouching for Windows either.

  7. The OS the cops are familiar with is on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 1

    black screen with GREEN characters flowing from top to bottom.

    I hear they call it the Matrix OS.

    Black screen with white fonts is NOT authorized.

  8. Re:Common sense on China Denies Role In US Grid Hacks · · Score: 1

    Actually, it was the US who publicized the "conflict" in the international waters, not the China. Looks like an intentional leak from the Pentagon to pressure the new president.

  9. They just want more taxes on When Politicians Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    ..for whatever reason.

    "Protecting the children" is often a convenient one, but there are others.

  10. I am not sure you should blame monopoly on Linux On Netbooks — a Complicated Story · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am no fan of Microsoft, but it's not like they are doing anything illegal or unethical here. Even Redhat's CEO commented he didn't believe in Linux's desktop future.

    Frankly, netbook looked like worth a shot for Linux. If it fails, then maybe desktop market is just too hard for Linux to win.

  11. "Cloud BitTorrenting" on Privacy In BitTorrent By Hiding In the Crowd · · Score: 1

    You know, this is a much more VC-pleasing term. Let's use that.

  12. Re:Died in a fire on Researcher's Death Hampers TCP Flaw Fix · · Score: 1

    Firewalls won't protect against internal breach. The killer must be someone in the inner circle and familiar with his work (and vulnerabilities).

  13. Re:Very convenient ... on US Electricity Grid Reportedly Penetrated By Spies · · Score: 1

    While I was reading it (well I didn't really, but pretend you believed me RTFA), I had a hunch that these officials really got all the threat ideas from certain hot anti-terrorism show. Power grid attack? That sounds too familiar. What's next, I guess a bunch of armed terrorists are just going to break into the white house?

  14. So once a while on US Electricity Grid Reportedly Penetrated By Spies · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Some officials" come forward and warn about threats from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. "Ya know, Sir, we need funding for enhancing national security, so please make sure you get your budget right."

  15. Give the president a break! on Obama Administration Defends Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Don't you all watch 24? Next Monday there will be a bioweapon explosion! You insensitive bastards!

    Village of the faceless screaming hicks

    There you are just being stupid. How could you tell people are screaming if they are faceless?

  18. This April Fool thing is starting to piss me off on IPv6 Over Social Networks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Serious, does every posting have to be a joke?

    No, that was BillBill and now SteveSteve.

  23. So I remember an old Microsoft joke on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    It was said by replacing "Microsoft Office" by "MSOF" will make certain office releases from 10 floppy diskettes to 9, saving tremendous manufacturing cost.

  24. It's Racism! on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    Unconstitutional, isn't it?

  25. Re:It is technically very easy on Google Engineers Say IPv6 Is Easy, Not Expensive · · Score: 2, Informative

    most of the software has this type of stuff abstracted away by the operating system

    The OS doesn't abstract IPV6. The application has to use the proper APIs to support IPV6 directly. For example, it cannot assume sockaddr is ipv4 only, and ultimately support both ipv4 and ipv6. It's never that easy.
