  1. Re:Agree! on 400,000 PCs Infected With Fake "Antivirus 2009" · · Score: 1

    Have a look at PlanetCCRMA
    I have been using their repos for years for all my audio needs: Rosegarden, Ardour, Hydrogen, etc.
    It's Fedora/Redhat based, but worth the switch.

  2. Re:Think about how many shows you really watch on Time Warner Recommends Internet For Some Shows · · Score: 1

    What they should do is sell episodes *worldwide* (lots of people are willing to pay a reasonable amount to watch new stuff at the same time it airs in the US), at something like $0.25 per episode, or maybe $50 for all you can get.

    It would be nice if BBC did this as well, I'd pay the BBC for Top Gear Episodes if I could watch them realtime.

  3. Re:Why not? on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    Now that I think about it, neither my PSX nor PS2 seemed to care if I moved it while it was on.

  4. Re:just what we need on Google Chrome Is Out of Beta · · Score: 1

    "It makes far less sense if the two products aren't build using the same parts, of course, which is why the car analogy falls flat "

    I would have to disagree. The Chevrolet and GMC lines beneath the skin are made out of EXACTLY the same parts. Other than the body, there is not a single discrete part from a GMC that Will not fit a Chevrolet. (I own one of each). I take that back. The body as a whole will fit a Chevy if you change it all at the same time. The grill is a drop in replacement.
    Ditto between Holden Commodore and a few Pontiac GTO.

  5. Re:Do they run vista? on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Let me help you out

    It's a whole lot easier to shoot those who you disagree with than a) figure out what motivates a group of disparate individuals, and b) exploit those motivations.

    this is why we have wars and need killbots.

  6. YAAAAAAY! on Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526 · · Score: 5, Funny

    And that pretty much wraps it up. Now I need a new name...

  7. Re:To Steve on Apple's New MacBooks Have Built-In Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Incadescent lights are analog. Just ask a dimmer. A light switch is digital. The light itself isn't (except for many fluorescents that have a minimum "on" voltage)

  8. Re:Vote with a bullet. on Obama Significantly Revises Technology Positions · · Score: 1

    I would argue that might makes right as it stands now. Financial might, in this case.

  9. Re:If the IC hadn't been invented on Integrated Circuit Is 50 Years Old Today · · Score: 1

    I worked out that it would take over 200 relays to make a BCD clock like the one at think geek. 45 per JK flip-flop 1 flip flop per bit, and several carry gates.

  10. Re:China and Germany could be expected on Dead Space To Launch Early, Banned in Three Countries · · Score: 1

    Let them play Bioshock. Then they will know.

  11. Re:Access wants to be anonymous on Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com · · Score: 1

    I think you are grossly overestimating the motives and wisdom of the average teenager.

    They are on facebook because it is cool to be there. Going anonymous rather defeats the point.

  12. Re:I can't get to bugmenot.com at work either. on Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Websense where I work has all of sourceforge listed as malware...

  13. Re:Delegation of Powers on Don't Share That Law! It's Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    In Nevada we handed all power over to the Feds when we were made a state.
    ref - Paramount Allegiance clause of the Nevada State Constitution

    Sorry.

  14. Re:Check the current poll, man. on IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP · · Score: 1

    however hotmail, gmail and yahoo mail all are, and are typically reached via a browser.

  15. Re:New domains should be much more expensive on Scammers Riding the Gustav Wave · · Score: 1

    The FTC should handle all of the dot-coms. If you want a .com, register with the FTC. If you have an ORGANIZATION of underwater basket weavers, use a .org
    Then we need to add .npo for non-profits.

  16. Re:Notifications on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    5 Minutes? Discounting Holds and such, it takes damn near 5 minutes to type in the number they give you.

  17. Re:Ftw. on Solar Cells — Made In a Pizza Oven · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Female is also sexist, as it is a term applied to a single sex. As it dude, man, woman, lady.

  18. Re:FAT32 on Strange Ubuntu/Vista Compatibility Bug, Solved · · Score: 1

    which is fine of course, unless you are trying to use Linux to rescue data from a corrupted Windows install/damaged FAT.

  19. Re:Colbert on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1

    Only if it's officiated by Raptor Jesus.

  20. Re:UAV missions more demanding that you might expe on USAF Enlists Shrinks To Help Drone Pilots Cope · · Score: 1

    That sucks. I was assigned to Creech and the Predator program (back when it was ISAFAF not Creech, before the Predator had missile hardpoints) and I didn't get paid extra.

  21. Re:Disgraced Arthur Anderson on Non-Compete Clauses Thrown Out In California · · Score: 1

    Ah, but if it's shredded, how can they tell it was evidence? It could have been the company newsletter printed too many times. Maybe the files they were looking for were stolen...

  22. Re:100m? on New Olympics Scoring: No More Perfect 10.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I agree 10 seconds is FAR to long. Olympic Top Fuel racing! 1320 feet in 5 seconds. Besides, it's not a sport unless it requires protective gear. Otherwise it's just exercise.

  23. Re:This is for deriving information from Markov se on The Viterbi Algorithm and Quantum Communications · · Score: 1

    How much is a buttload as expressed in Metric Fucktons? I only deal in Metric.

    People get made all the time. (often on accident)

  25. Re:Series of Tubes on Sen. Ted "Tubes" Stevens Is Indicted · · Score: 1

    How about a car analogy? The internet is a series of interconnected highways. The packets are the cars, they all know their destination. Occasionally packet collisions occur, etc.
