  1. Paranoid government on Chinese Internet Censorship Proves Difficult · · Score: 0

    It seems that the Chinese government should focus more time and effort on the looming threat of North Korea than the petty problem of civilian censorship.

  2. Re:hehe, wasn't me.. on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 0

    My ISP's lease (ADSL) is 24 hours I believe.

  3. O thats really gonna work on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 0

    What are they gonna due, sue the computer? LOL!

  4. Re:Here's a Picture on Sweet Dreams Are Made By This · · Score: 0

    It's a broken link:

    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

    Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '9'.

    C:\INETPUB\JAPANTODAY\JTWWWROOT\E\../../jtinclud es /db.inc, line 73

  5. RIAA got screwed on P2P File Swapping on the Rise Again? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Perhaps it is on the rise because ISPs are no longer required to reveal the identities of subpoenaed customers.

    I was kidding, I'm not *that* paranoid

  7. I Smell MS on URLs Patented, Domain Registrars Sued · · Score: 0, Troll

    This company wouldn't have any affiliation with Microsoft would it???

  8. RH 9 on End of Life for Red Hat 7.x, 8.0 · · Score: 1

    Once my Redhat 9.0 subscription stops, I think I will try Gentoo, it sounds like a good OS, very unique with a long and challengin install.

    But then, I will have to change my /. nickname...

  9. Why? on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Why don't they just stick with mp3? From my understanding it is a far better format and has better compression (?correct me if im wrong on that). If this is the case, you will just have less songs with a crappier format that no one uses on your iPod.

  10. fp on Lego to Stop Producing Mindstorms · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  11. Checksums anyone? on Microsoft Word Forms Passwords Hacked · · Score: 1

    This hack allows someone to download such a file, edit it, and restore the password...effectively allowing changes to the file to go potentially unnoticed.

    And that my Dell friends, is why they invented checksums.

  12. On their website... on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 Versus Linux in Enterprise Computing: An Assessment of Business Value for Selected Workloads
    I'm guessing 'selected' means that they put linux on a 500MB HD w/ an i386 and tried to use it as a render farm, while the windows machine's task was to find the conundrum that has puzzled MS for so many years, but eventually calculated that 2 + 2 = 5.

    WinTel Server 10 Times Less Expensive to Operate than Linux Mainframe
    Gimme a fricking break, you're not kidding anyone Billy G.

  13. WHy not on Mini-iPod Mystery Drive Unveiled? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you're going for storage, why not get the full size iPod? If you are going for small, why not get a smaller player, there are much smaller ones out there that hold a considerable amount, albeit not as much as iPod Jr.

  14. Just a thought... on Has The Poincare Conjecture Been Solved? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But our universe is not 3-dimensional... it is 4-dimensional(so far as we know):
    Physical dimensions 1.length, 2.width, 3.height
    AND 4.time
    So it would seem to me that Poincare would describe only the physical aspects of our universe, but not the universe as a whole.
    One other thing, we don't know for sure that there is only one way to bend 3 dimensional space into a shape with no holes', the dimension number/num. shapes could be related to a different pattern, such as the fibbonachi sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8...)

    I am only a high school math student, so if there are any other mathemeticians out there that can disprove any of my 'conjectures', please post.

  15. The author is clueless on Will Security Task Force Affect OSS Acceptance? · · Score: 1

    Apparently the author is clueless recluse that has never heard of or used OSS/Linux (which is surprising, considering the guy they were talking about comes from C.A.)

    OSS fulfills every one of the criteria described in the article, if only there were some way to either get an OSS backer in a gov't position or to convince the US gov't to switch entirely to OSS.

    "Java was the first language that emerged with security constants inherent," Moritz said. "Maybe we need to go back to the drawing board and apply science to the languages." <- this proves my point, the author is clueless.

  16. good on XFree86 Core Team Disbands · · Score: 1

    Good, maybe we'll get something that doesn't suck now.

  19. Hmm... on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 1

    This isn't a hard quesiton, just go to ThinkGeek

  20. Linux on TIs on Free, Open Source OS For TI Calculators · · Score: 1

    I have been wondering about open source systems for the TI. I was also thinking one day if it would be possible to run linux on my TI-83+, but alas it only has 512K of memory I think. Maybe Linux would fit on the Voyager 200? Just a thought.

  21. WWIII? on High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions · · Score: 1

    If there is a war, the U.S. will obviously back Taiwan. But since China's army == huge, some U.S. allies would probably get involved.

  22. Re:Open Source Music on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 1

    Because we code, not sing. Unless we code our computers to sing....
    hmmm...
    it has potential
