  1. Re:So which is worse? on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 1

    and thus it is the iPod and iTunes rather than AppleTunes and Apple music player.

  2. Re:Hosts file + GUIDs on Inside an Adware Company · · Score: 2, Informative

    Redirect to 0.0.0.0 instead, if you point to 127.0.0.1 you get to wait for every blackholed connection to time out against your own machine, while an attempt to connect to 0.0.0.0 is instantly recognized as an invalid ip and the conneciton fails.

  3. Re:I was bored... on Password Security Not Easy · · Score: 1

    I have found the TI-86PC font for the Texas Instruments graph link software is very good for that, the '1' is different from 'I' and different from 'l' as well as having the slash through the '0'

  4. Re:AOL Instant Messenger (one of the most widely u on AOL Locks Out AIM Screen Names · · Score: 4, Funny

    the real old schoolers telnet into each other's machines and use a chat daemon.

  5. Re:Obsessed with evil? on GIMP 2.2 Splash Screen Contest Revisited · · Score: 1

    actually the bible says that the beast will be marked with 666, not that all instances of 666 are evil.

  6. Re:Fails the balloon test? on Private Spaceflight Law Passes Senate · · Score: 1

    That is because even though having nothing to do with interstate commerce the federal gov't has usurped that right from you because some planes do cross state lines.

  7. Re:All true but you miss the point on "Dream Team" to Create Gigapixel Photo System · · Score: 1

    The chalange is finding a way to display the image data.

    simple, get a billion midgets with Red, green, and blue lamps on dimmer switches to fill the grrand canyon, then a spotlight flashes into the sky with morse code instructions to reference each midget and tell them the dimmer switch positions.

  8. Re:Could this be Legal? on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    Actually i would think, give the number of real and common uses for a modded XBox that are non-infringing Selling Xbox mod chips and pre-modded Xboxes would probably be ruled legal.

  9. Re:What if you got the disks w/ your $500 Super XB on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with a pseudolegal EULA and everything to do with selling pirated games for profit.

  10. Re:Yes, they were infringing copyrights. on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    intentionally and systematically violating your copyright

    Can my hard drive plead the 5th for me?

  11. Re:Aye... on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    There isn't much of a fence here... it's pretty much accepted by everyone except the pirates that Selling pirated works for profit is not only illegal but morally wrong as well.

  12. Re:I hope the plaintif prevails on No Honor Among Malware Purveyors · · Score: 1

    are you mentally retarded or just trolling? the GPL only applies if you are *Distributing* software, which you do not have the default right to do, you do have the default right to install and run software you have purchased because thoe copies made are necessary for use.

  13. Re: Exploit? on MD5 To Be Considered Harmful Someday · · Score: 1

    it hashes parts of the whole thing, skipping out rapidly as the file gets bigger, good for the appearance of speed when adding files to your shared directory, bad for not sucking hard with file corruption.

  14. Re:Windup power supply? on Photos and Commentary On AMD's PIC · · Score: 1

    If there was enough current available to run the monitor it would be somewhat pointless to wind up the computer itself. Now a two-tone LCD display for it would be pretty nifty with a hand crank generator

  15. Re:Cryptographic BIOS? on Photos and Commentary On AMD's PIC · · Score: 5, Insightful

    sounds to me like the point is to provide some serious virus/trojen/spyware hardening for sale in an environment full of new users and poor availability of tech support.

  16. Re:AOL's too expensive on Massive Layoffs At AOL · · Score: 1

    I've had roadrunner for a few years and everyone i have ever talked to with it has loved it, Had a minor issue with an unstable cable modem but it only took a call to tech support to authorize a replacement unit and the speeds with roadrunner are almost always blazing fast.

  17. Re:i m a l337 riter! on The Illiteracy of Corporate American E-Mail · · Score: 1

    *runs Spell Check* It seems that Windows is a Real operating system too

  18. Re:Exploit? on MD5 To Be Considered Harmful Someday · · Score: 1

    I think it takes a few corrupt bits to blacklist someone, not sure though (and can vary per client)

  19. Re: Exploit? on MD5 To Be Considered Harmful Someday · · Score: 1

    Moderately Broken!??? they only hash parts of the file to save timefreaking stupid should at least do a complete hash on all downloaded files since it is handling the whole file and complete hash all the files using spare CPU time, do a quick hash to start but only "trust" a full hash.

  20. Re:But for the Grace of Gabe... there go ye? on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Steam sure did stop me from pirating Half Life 2, and it also stopped everyone who has downloaded it from me from pirating it as well, so much for that one.

  21. Re:Somone get these ppl some free software! on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    It takes more time to convince them that there is no catch - "a better product for no money" seems too good to be true, so therefore it must be false.

    simple, sell them firefox for $50

  22. Re:So why did he do it? on Jeopardy! Whiz Becomes Encarta Spokesman · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the new editions of encarta but i remember the old version for windows 95 beina amazing as a kid, i not only used it for research on almost every essay in elementary school I also would sit reading through articles and the links between articles for hours at a time.

  23. Re:Encarta... Who Cares? on Jeopardy! Whiz Becomes Encarta Spokesman · · Score: 1

    I have not seen anything lower than 24x in a long time, aside from a 12x which was questionable as to whether it still functioned.

    What is "You Fail it" for $200?

  25. Re:It's not easy on Computer Forensics · · Score: 1

    usually tey don't need to hide everything, often enough they are proxied through either an untouchable foreign machine or a compromised broadband machine, which has little in the way of event monitoring which would point to the true culprit (or another 'splioted box in the chain)
