    If you yell fire in a theatre should you then set the place alight to avoid prosecution for causing a panic?

  3. GPL?? on Will Security Task Force Affect OSS Acceptance? · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that programmers can put themselves under the GPL to be considered FOSS developers? and would this circumvent anti-cloning laws and human genetic engineering restrictions to have people under the GPL?

  4. CAN SPAM act eh.... on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

  6. Why not find a way to encrypt XviD data on Tech Titans Prepare to Battle Over Next DVD Format · · Score: 1

    Seeing as a damn near DVD quality XviD file fits nicely onto a CD-R they should find a way to use XviD for the next standard possibly having an option for FLAC audio so that studios can release movies with super HQ sound if needed (also would be good for videos of concerts and music videos)

  7. Re:exponential or incremental improvement? on Tech Titans Prepare to Battle Over Next DVD Format · · Score: 1

    Both Speilberg's and Lucas's movies are available in DivX;) format, although XviD is nicer

  12. Re:'cause ripping != encoding on Cultured Perl: Fun with MP3 and Perl, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    Why do it in two steps when CDEX will rip and encode with LAME, it also will put the files into a folder named with the artist name

  13. Re:Liability on Dumpster-Diving for Your Identity · · Score: 1

    I think that if identity theft occurs due to the creditor failing to take acceptable precautions the thief should not have to pay back the money at all, if the credit card companies had to take the hit themselves they would care alot more,

  14. Re:no different than a cable modem... on Cable Box Piracy Ring Busted · · Score: 1

    I think if you have a modded cable box then you probably are using it, i'm fairly sure that a box that doesn't get you channels you didn't pay for is legal

  15. Re:The time problem has nothing to do with the pat on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 1
    Several times, 3rd party volunteers have demonstrated the ability to test Microsoft's software more thoroughly than the publisher ever did. (Server software though, which can be easily tested by software, not the browser)

    the problem is that most volunteer testing of microsoft software is done on systems owned by one person, and 0wnz0r3d by the "tester" I like that Politically correct term for Cracker.... "Volunteer network security field test engineer"

    and if there was it would be a USB mouse

  20. Re:Why oh why.... on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    AFAIK they are USB 2 ports, since that is what they have on their other machines (even their $400 unit has 4 USB2 ports)

  21. Re:Why oh why.... on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    Scratch the card reader, eMachines has a multi-card reader on the front of their new machines and they also put some of their usb ports on the front (they have had the frontside ports for alot longer than most companies)

  22. Re:Why? on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    The shameful part is that their newer models include easy thumbscrew so you can easily remove the case cover and he hard drive bracket thus making you not have to tear the whole damned thing apart for a simple upgrade thus removing the geek factor of having a ripped apart computer all over your desk,

    Motherboard is different and they loaded up on video and hard drive space along with who knows what else

  24. Re:finally has a toy we'd all like to get for Xmas on Emachines 64-bit Athlons Now On Sale · · Score: 2, Informative

    Emachines changed quite a while back, at least as far back as the 533id2 (was the first new computer i ever had c.2000) The only part i found totally unacceptable was the crystal Audio integrated sound which i replaced within a few months with some I/O magic card for $35 I later upgraded the video from intel 810 onboard to a GF2MX400 for ~$100 and upgraded the RAM from 64 to 256 for some unknown amount for christmas(I assume around $100 since it was pc100) so for $500 upfront with a total upgraded cost of $735 I had a machine that lasted 2 years before i felt it neccicary to replace it and it still is being used by my brother although he wants a new system it runs all the games he plays quite well. My new emachines it the T2200SE which i have had for a little over a year now (bought it last november) and it has totally kicked ass. It seems to me that since eMachines had a bad rap in the past for bad products and bad service they have the most to lose if they release crappy stuff now or have bad customer service, of the 8 eMachines systems i have seen/worked with (3 of their new case design, 5 of the older design) the only one that had trouble was owned by someone with no computer experience and seemed to be infected with a virus or a load of spyware. They also have in their parts depot a detailed list of components for their systems going at least as far back as their 266mhz cyrix model and a list of components available to upgrade each model (good for christmas lists lol). as for system upgradeability and maintainability, unlike a certain company *cough* HP *cough* eMachines doesn't find it nessesary to rivet the thing together or use cases so cramped that you cannot upgrade without a full dismantleing.

  25. Re:Tinfoil hat or not? on China Releases Own WLAN Security Standard · · Score: 1

    I would guess that the 11-2003 part of the spec name refers to it's completion date (or original target date) and it sounds to me that this makes sense in light of China's recent drive for standards independance, That new chip they designed and work on their own flavor of linux.
