  1. !story on MIT Tracking Campus Net Connections Since 1999 · · Score: 1

    how the fuck is this news? this is extremely basic monitoring for simple diagnostics and troubleshooting.

  2. Re:So much for pirate ethics on How Piracy Affected the Launch of Demigod · · Score: 1

    every single DRM'd game I have ever seen is on the torrent lists on the day of release or the day after, so stardock didn't lose jack shit over their decision to skip the DRM, but they did gain the licensing costs of the DRM software by not buying any.

  3. Re:All sounds very Windows like on The Secret History of the FBI's Classified Spyware · · Score: 1

    firefox+noscript should protect you, unless you are running untrusted active content i doubt there is anything that they could hook to.

  4. Re:Why???? on Grad Student Project Uses Wikis To Stash Data, Miffs Admins · · Score: 3, Funny

    because if you fill the onion tubes with torrents how are the pedos going to trade their child porn?

  5. Treason on Voting Machines and 'Calibration Drift' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if this were the 70's and touch screen was brand new tech I would believe this.

    however it's not the 70's and every touch screen device i have ever seen holds it's calibration or doesn't need to be calibrated. From ATM's that are exposed directly to outdoor weather to late 90's production eBook readers to the Nintendo DS I have never once seen one lose calibration in any reasonable time and it's rare to need to calibrate at all except when combining a touch sensor to a system not built for touch sensor use.

    this is outright election fraud and IMO it is treason and should be dealt with accordingly.

  6. Sage on Linux On Netbooks — a Complicated Story · · Score: 1

    Sage goes in every field

  7. Re:FAT on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 1

    actual verdict: we have no idea what to do with anything that doesn't spin, but we'll take your money anyways

  8. Re:quote on 97 of Top 100 Classified Sites Are Craigslist · · Score: 1

    that's the point. CL makes plenty of money on their charged ads and gathers a large enough crowd with the rest.

  9. Re:Craigslist has a HUGE amount of scams. on 97 of Top 100 Classified Sites Are Craigslist · · Score: 1

    and if the originating bank was a color laser printer that don't mean shit.

  10. Re:Next Gen Arm based netbooks. on Microsoft Boasts 96% Netbook Penetration · · Score: 1

    do you have any evidence of this?

  11. Re:Their country, their loss! on Thai Gov't Sets Up Site For Snitching On Royals' Critics · · Score: 3, Insightful

    if you go to foreign countries and publicly insult their leaders you are kind of a douche bag.

  12. Re:Moving parts are the main problem on How Do I Provide a Workstation To Last 15 Years? · · Score: 1

    you could also use a small chunk of battery backed up SRAM that mirrored itself to a block of flash every hour or so and on shutdown.

  13. Re:Suspicion? What about other less suspicious ide on Windows 95 Almost Autodetected Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    so you confuse the shit out of the user by having ghost floppies show up every boot?

  14. Re:Proof! on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    nope, that one is just creationist bullshit.

  15. Re:I think its infected my car. on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    the other stations are not as biased as fox news

  16. Re:Stolen Laptop, yes. Data, No. on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 3, Insightful

    wouldn't it be easier to encrypt the drive and have the wireless kill system hold the key?

  17. Re:I stand corrected on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 1

    what's wrong with people selling a car wanting to get paid? it's not like the people getting one of those units have a good repayment history. these are people who would otherwise not get a loan at all.

  18. Re:It's because on Cold War Standoff Over ISS Toilet · · Score: 1

    over is less suitable because when pulled straight out the paper is pressed downwards with gravity, creating marginally more resistance and a higher break % than if the paper goes under slightly lifting the roll when pulled straight out.

    in addition when there is a draft paper placed over is farther from the wall and more likely to be blown around.

  19. Re:Odd that we're seeing this again on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    control doesm at lest mine does. it's shaped a little different than a regular cap. maybe different years were made slightly differently.

  20. Re:Usability is the problem, not bandwidth on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    you can already do that with a ? after the URL.

  21. Re:Yaaay for capitalism! on iPhone App Refund Policies Could Cost Devs · · Score: 1

    and you would get sued by your competitor, probably banned from apple store, and a horrible reputation so nobody would want to do business with you.

  22. Re:Usability is the problem, not bandwidth on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    i saw one site using a scheme of example.com/000000/articletitle.html where the numbers were the document ID and the article title could be any valid URL and get to that document.

  23. Re:A great symptom of poor design: eBay v TradeMe on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    ebay is a giant active database serving real time data and images in every direction. if they can save a small percentage CPU or memory load by having long URLs it will be worth it.

    in addition if they can expedite diagnostics when problems arise by having meaningful (for the devs) urls they save on s/downtime/money

  24. Re:My model M rules on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    i think your experience proves more about the wisdom of spending money on ebay than it does the quality of model M keyboards.

    you may want to work on your fine motor control. i haven't accidentally hit the windows key in years.
