  1. Re:No Idea at All on Viacom Yields to YouTuber Who DMCA Counterclaimed · · Score: 1
    According to TFA they do tell you that you can counter-claim:

    "YouTube should be commended for notifying their users when they get take-down notices," von Lohmann continued. "They tell you that a notice has been received, and they tell you that you have the right to counter-notice. Not everyone does that."
  2. Re:A rational response from a provoked man on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 1

    The interviews were removed from the programme. All you get to see is footage of them not speaking (while sweeney asks questions etc) and Sweeney describing what they said.

  3. Re:Strange way of killing someone on Former Spy Poisoned By Radiation In UK · · Score: 1

    No it's real. The owner of the site was on CNN today. You'd need to order about 50 000 from him to get a lethal dose though.

  4. Re:Not a bug, but a design change that throws me. on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1
    got to about:config in the address bar and find browser.tabs.closeButtons
    change the value to one of these:

    0 Display a close button on the active tab only

    1 Display close buttons on all tabs (Default)

    2 Don't display any close buttons

    3 Display a single close button at the end of the tab strip (Firefox 1.x behavior)

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButton s

    Or you can install Tab mix plus which gives you these options and more.

  8. Re:It's not surprising on Man Cures Himself of HIV? · · Score: 1
    Arian may refer to one of the following:
    * Obsolete spelling of Aryan, Aryan race.

    I took it to mean the above. As in white european. The term is used by Nazi's and KKK people when talking about the "master race" etc. Hence "We proud [Aryans] are a superior race."

    you've lost me there. The GP spelling is correct.

  10. Re:Computer on acid on Software Predicts Music Success · · Score: 1

    Well both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have admitted to doing acid. I don't know if Linus has done it though. Maybe windows and OSX can handle it but linux can't.

  11. Re:You're right, the GNOME file selector has to go on Dapper Drake Hits Ubuntu Servers · · Score: 1

    lol that is so funny! Both of your links are to the same pic - the firefox dialog. So it seems both apps do use the same dialog ;-p

    "That's why Bush was re-elected. It's also how Hitler rose to power in 1930s Germany, but I'd better not mention that, or people will think I'm comparing Bush to Hitler."

    Because no one has ever done that before, hehe

    I've got a couple of used Linux licenses knocking around if anyone wants one. At $349.50 that's 50% below the retail price! Offers to cheaplinux@mailinator.com

  14. Re:Slightly trollish, but I can't resist... on Former Apple Exec Speaks Against DRM · · Score: 1

    That is not ironic, it is fitting! It might be ironic if he was the director of secrecy, i.e. contrary to what his name suggests.

  15. Re:Me too on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't - no where near.
    2^128 = 3.4e38
    atom in universe ~= 3e78 which is way way way bigger. IPv6 would allow 7e23 IP addresses per square metre on the surface of the earth.

  21. drink and drugs on China's Internet Addiction Clinic · · Score: 2, Funny
    In my opinion, the internet is way better and safer than alcohol and drugs any day.

    But drink and drugs can be a lot more fun and can involve bumping into real life horny drunken girlies and having even more fun.

    You still got the percentage wrong though. My advice is stop digging the hole deeper.

    I'm not locked into iTunes (I use foobar2000) but all my ogg aspirations went sour when I found out oggs reduce the battery life on my iRiver h320 at twice the rate of MP3s which is deal breaker. So at the moment I'm back to ripping Lame MP3 -aps again.
