  1. Re:MSN's new search will be HUGE... on Microsoft Employee Allegedly Hacked AltaVista · · Score: 1

    Seems to me a good way to gather evidence of distributing RIAA, MPAA etc. protected intellectual property. Before you imagine me with a tinfoil hat, don't put it past M$, think WMPs unique identification registry entry, and it calling home for DVD TOCs for DVDs which allready have TOCs.

    Or maybe it's just coincedence....

  2. Re:Don't watch TV on FCC to Require Broadcasters to Keep Tapes of Shows · · Score: 1

    You compare something as frivolous as TV to the situation in Iraq??? What color is the sky in your world? There is a difference between caring for other people and being judge/jury and executioner.

    Yes, sitting in front of a CRT typing to /. is so much more productive and creative....I'll tell you what's offensive, busy-bodies who can't even keep their OWN family and homes in-line, yet feel they have a right to waggle their bony fingers at the rest of us.

  4. Re:I don't understand ... on FCC to Require Broadcasters to Keep Tapes of Shows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe because this isn't about TV or decency, this is about the self-preservation and validaton of the FCC (they were only meant to divy up frequencies once upon a time), this is also about the systematic removal of the freedoms we enjoy so much, when you control what a man sees, you control him.

    First they came for the Jews
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for the Communists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Communist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left
    to speak out for me.

    Then they came for the messangers(broadcasters)...

  5. Re:The Worst. on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    Here's what I use in a mixed network (windows/linux): http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ (It doesn't have to be a mixed network, however)

  6. Re:Worst computer accident? on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thinking I could save space on my (at the time) harrdrive I tried:
    cd /lib ; strip *.so
    cd /usr/lib ; strip *.so
    It worked, saved all kinds of space, until the next time I tried to run a program and boot :\

  7. Re:Not just NO but "Hell NO!" on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    Look at it this way, it will be easier to tell the moronic from the not-so-moronic, having that logo next to your moniker is as good as waltzing onto #bsd with an AOL address...

  8. Re:Novice Computer Repair Man on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 1

    One of the scariest parts of New.net is what their website states at the bottom:

    174,661,619 New.net enabled Internet users worldwide*

    oh my...

  9. Another bit of info... on BIND Strikes Back Against VeriSign's Site Finder · · Score: 1

    There's some phone numbers on the bottom of that too...

  10. I called their number and got this... on BIND Strikes Back Against VeriSign's Site Finder · · Score: 5, Informative

    I got a rep on the line and he seems oblivious of what was going on, after a bit I got a superviser and she gave me this email telling me that this is where the complaints are going to:
