  1. You nailed it on Nvidia to Buy ULI Electronics · · Score: 4, Funny

    It says right there in the article that they plan not to make their products better, ever again. I think it's a bad move for the company.

    Also... what the hell are you talking about?

  2. Re:Stop the stupidity on Unpatched Firefox 1.5 Exploit Made Public · · Score: 1

    Enjoy your stay in spyware hell.

  3. Imagezoom on Favorite Firefox Extensions? · · Score: 2, Informative

    With right=click+thumbwheel zooming. Best feature ever.

  4. Re:Maybe you're unclear on the 1st ammendment on Forbes Goes After Bloggers · · Score: 1

    I think what they're trying to do is track down and prosecute people commiting libel. Libel is already illegal. It appears that they're trying to change the laws to make it easier to gain access to blog hosts' user information, which I'm against. I think that anonymous speech is very important (not to mention that you can always create a free account using your local cafe's WiFi.

    Yeah, I probably could have said what I said in my previous message without getting graphic, but everyday, people are confusing the 1st Amendment with things like company's rights to refuse service to people, etc.

  5. Maybe you're unclear on the 1st ammendment on Forbes Goes After Bloggers · · Score: 1

    It starts with "Congress shall make no law". Are they lobbying congress to ban blogs? I doubt it. Therefore, take your invalid alarmist argument and insert it horizontally in an orifce (yours) of your choice.

  6. Have you looked into Sharepoint? on Software for a Virtual Office? · · Score: 1

    That's what it does.

  7. What about the Mexican government... on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 1

    stationing officers on their side of the border, redirecting people around the Minuteman project volunteers. They weren't telling people not to cross, they were telling them (essentially) how to evade our law enforcement and our Neighborhood Watch. Or demanding that illegal emigrants be given Driver Licenses or preferably full legal status? Sounds like they're trying really hard to keep people from crossing.

    You're right though, I should have read more of the thread before posting. My bad on that one.

  8. Total bullshit on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 1

    I guess you haven't heard about the pamphlets the Mexican government hands out suggesting the best places to cross, what to bring, and how to evade US Border Patrol.

  9. No, Mexico doesn't put up with illegal immigration on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yet those fuckfaces have people in their government whose job it is to encourage and assist their poorest citizens in crossing OUR border illegally.

    But it's RACIST and CRUEL to consider deporting their lawbreaking asses back to their shithole country. I love double standards.

  10. When they quit announcing it and start selling it on Flexible Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    wake me up.

  11. Correct download link on Interview With Gary Edwards of OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    The 2.0 RC download link does not work, it's got an invalid hostname. If you change: http://download.services.openoffice.org/2.0.0rc/in dex.html to http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0rc/index.html it will work.

  12. Scooters and Dust on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 1

    Dust, at Burning Man? Suck it up for god's sake, you've done this before. Any attempt to reduce dust from your experience will be wasted effort.

    Embrace the dust. Become one with the dust.

  13. Hmmmm, that's a head scratcher. on The Greying of the Mainframe Elite · · Score: 1

    Threaten the entire industry with outsourcing, and then wonder why noone wants to study IT anymore.

  14. Re:Featureful does not mean works better on Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days · · Score: 1

    The grandparent said the results were better, but did not concede that it had more features. I've never used Keynote, and Powerpoint very infrequently, so I couldn't say.

  15. I've got an abacus that still works! on High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup · · Score: 1

    Of course it doesn't put out any heat, and has nowhere near the data storage capacity as modern hard drives, but while we're comparing apples and oranges...

  16. Coincidence? on Extra Daylight Savings May Confuse the Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Doubtful.

  17. It's also absolutely worthless on Governmental Servers Wiped? Never! · · Score: 1

    Do that, and anyone can recover 100% of the data on that drive using any data recovery tool. People have been known to buy used PCs and hard drives specifically for the purpose of data mining. The drive needs to be overwritten with random data, preferably multiple times.

    I just use them 'till they die, then destroy the platters.

  18. Local Area Security on Assess System Security with a Linux LiveCD · · Score: 1

    L.A.S. is another network tool oriented Live CD. Check it out.

  19. Re:Turn off CPU throttling on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well their goal is to be able to boast longer runtime, not the ability to process more data on one battery charge. Since most people's computers are waiting for them more often than the other way around, it works for some.

  20. Server - server's bandwidth on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    typo

  21. All hail Sysinternals on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    Using a few of their tools, I was able to track down exactly why a customer's server had suspiciously tripled over the past 2 days. There's no reason the nVidia driver should be transferring packets with a german dialup account. Ever. Especially considering this particular machine had no nVidia hardware in it.

  22. Worked on one today with 122 Days on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 3, Informative

    2k3 Server. Then again, I built it from scrach and installed the OS, so it had half a chance :).

    (FreeBSD admin by choice, Windows admin by necessity)

  23. Turn off CPU throttling on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    The reason it's slower on battery is because it's slowing down the CPU to conserve power. If you turn this feature off (usually in a systray icon or BIOS setup), it'll boot just as fast.

  24. SpaceShipOne on Shuttles Grounded Once Again · · Score: 1

    didn't seem to have problems shedding parts while winning the X-Prize. Granted, they're designed and built for different purposes, but I think the shuttle needs a bit more modern replacement.

  25. It's called NAT on How Should One Respond to a Network Break In? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just because their NAT router has a port forwarded to an Exchange server doesn't mean that the Exchange server was necessarily the machine where the attack originated. It could have been that machine, or any other machine on the network.
