  1. Re:Can this possibly be secure? on Music Pirates Won't Rush To iCloud For Forgiveness · · Score: 1

    The RIAA are getting $150 million upfront and 56% of the $25/yr fee.

  2. Re:Call me... on Pentagon Says Cyberattacks Can Count As Act of War · · Score: 1

    Why does a critical system have unsecured USB ports? Fixing that seems more important than clarifying you'll bomb people over it.

  3. Re:No restart on plugin installtion/update? on Firefox Lorentz Keeps Plugin Crashes Under Control · · Score: 1

    No, restart-less extension installing and updating is a separate feature that's also in the works. I don't recall if they have a set release for that yet or not.

  4. Re:No on Google Chrome Extensions Are Now Available · · Score: 1

    No. For a lot of us, that's like asking, "Does the ability to run JavaScript put Chrome at risk of becoming bloated?"

    I don't know, judging from some NoScript fans, they certainly think so.

  5. Re:Or 120GB for $54.99 on Xbox 360 Update Will Lock Out Unauthorized Storage · · Score: 1

    Yes, you did. The 4.0 update from the beginning of this year added SDHC support as well as the ability to play WiiWare/Virtual Consoel games off of the SD slot.

  6. Re:Obscene on Video Games, the First Amendment, and Obscenity · · Score: 1

    I've always found it kind of amusing that it's basically all about sex and pooping. Of all the forms of speech that can be censored due to being offensive, of all the activities which we can't tolerate because they're too objectionable, we've picked out sex and pooping.

    We hate the Germans _that_ much.

  7. Re:Nice on Firefox To Get Multi-Process Browsing · · Score: 1

    You are correct. Apple was working on their new JS engine at the same time as well.

  8. Re:The problem... on ABC/Disney Considering Hulu · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem is the reverse actually. Whoever has the rights in your country won't let Hulu run the shows in it because it cuts into their advertising.

  9. Re:I help... on RIAA's Oppenheim Tries To Protect MediaSentry · · Score: 2, Funny

    I use a rock to keep away MediaSentry. It uses less resources than PeerGuardian and is just as effective.

  10. Re:Somewhat fitting. on Lori Drew Trial Results In 3 Misdemeanor Convictions · · Score: 2, Informative

    What I want to know is why Lori Drew started the whole thing in the first place.

    Because her friend (who the prosecution gave immunity) suggested it as a way to get revenge for the victim calling Drew's daughter a lesbian.

  11. Re:And unofficially... on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    They post the binaries so QA can test downloading and installing them.

  12. Re:Addons on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Been using it without problems on Ubuntu. I installed it via Firefox and not apt-get.

  13. Re:Addons on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 2, Informative

    AdBlock (with filterset.g) No, you'll have to update to Adblock Plus and use one of the built in filters which is for the best anyways since Adblock was discontinued some time ago and Filterset.g has some horrible slowdown problems.
  14. Re:The real enemy on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1

    Nope, I can turn around and walk out, Not anymore you can't. There's been a few cases over the past year where the real police got called in because someone walked away from the line, sometimes after talking with the TSA.
  15. Re:Not quite, Miyamoto also does hardware on Shigeru Miyamoto, The Walt Disney of Our Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Gunpei created the Gameboy, Virtual Boy and the Wonderswan. He also died in a car accident just as Nintendo and him were making up for blaming him for the failure of the Virtual Boy. It's possible he could've become Miyamoto's equal, or even surpassed him had he lived.

  16. Re:Propoganda or not - Let the truth be viewed on YouTube Refuses To Remove Terrorist Videos · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, look how well that's worked for Marijuana and Cocaine.

  17. Re:you suckz0rz! (just kidding) on Do Zebra Stripes Actually Help? · · Score: 1

    It's closest to the curb = go.

  18. Re:Though is some places? on Nevada Governor to Bill Fossett Widow For Search · · Score: 1

    Here in Texas if you have to be rescued and there were official warning signs up, you're billed the cost of the rescue. If you don't pay, they give their information to the local news who then hound them during ratings week asking why they were stupid enough to ignore warning signs then refused to pay for their rescue.

  19. Re:Same issue with the AwesomeBar on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    I believe setting browser.urlbar.maxRichResults in about:config to 0 will turn off the awesome bar. But really the solution is to get used to it, it's much more useful to be able to search page titles, tags and bookmarks instead of just domains in the history.

  20. Re:NASA vs America's Army on NASA Wants its MMO Created for Free · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, just imagine what would happen to the world if we were no longer able to start fights with other countries.

  21. Re:Makes sense on "Judicial Scandal" In Pirate Bay Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a good thing the TSA doesn't actually increase security then or we might be in serious trouble!

  22. Re:Not the last nail in the coffin by far... on Windows Live Hotmail CAPTCHA Cracked, Exploited · · Score: 1

    It has no vowels, so it's not pronounceable. Lynx and nth take exception to your remark.
  23. Re:Better in half-hour installments on New Futurama Movie Coming in June · · Score: 3, Informative

    On an unrelated note, I seriously hope they improve the media and packaging quality for the next DVD. My DVD player is barely able to play the BBS disc I got (no scratches or anything, just can't seem to stay focused on the disc, especially layer 2), and the packaging only manages tenuously, at best, to keep the disc from falling out and rolling across the floor. I'm told it's because they wanted the packaging to be carbon neutral or zero emissions or what ever the term is for what Al Gore's been talking about.
  24. Re:Proceeds of crime bill ?! on Hacker Could Keep Money from Insider Trading · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Probably, but he's in the Ukraine. The SEC not releasing his money for insider trading wouldn't require the support of the Ukraine government, prosecuting him for hacking would.

  25. Re:net neutrality on New Legislation Could Eventually Lead to ISP Throttling Ban · · Score: 1

    They don't sell voice, Comcast Voice Services* sells voice, Comcast Television Services sells television and Comcast Internet Services sells internet access. They break it up like that so regulations effecting one don't apply to the others.

    * I don't know what the actual names are and they all are DBA Comcast.
