  1. Re:Does the - on Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, it can be done... I did it here. The weird thing is that it was metamoderated 95% fair.

  2. Re:Perhaps on SCO On the Rocks · · Score: 1

    I've heard that it may be a possibility.

  3. Re:Difference on UK Record Industry Starts Suing Filesharers · · Score: 1

    I'd guess that they would screw you over less than the British Phonograpic Industry...

    I guess I know which I'd rather be screwed by...

    You forgot servicing porpoises, or is that just me?

    What does a website maintenance service have to do with text editing? You gonna pay them to do it?

    I prefer:

  8. Re:All HELL is breaking loose ... on Fingerprints Replace Credit Cards in Seattle · · Score: 1

    What one could do is, since the fingerprint must be represented in digital form, is run that data through a hash, perhaps stored on a magnetic strip, a flash memory key, or something easily portable, effectively allowing you to change the hash (through your financial institution) to create a "new" fingerprint identifier. For extra security, have a PIN that you can enter, giving you a combination of what you are, what you have, and what you know. Works out fairly nicely.

    Methinks you searched for the wrong type of Boobie, Boobie.

    But it fixes your computer when your 3 year old pounds on the keyboard with a rubber hammer. Isn't that great?

  11. Your head a splode! on Pair Arrested After Telling Lawyer Jokes · · Score: 1
    " 'Shut up,' the man shouted," Lanzisera said. "'I'm a lawyer."
    What's the deal with this statement, and why haven't the grammar nazi's torn it apart yet? Though it may technically be correct, I don't think it's very easy to understand who said what. Sounds like some sort of lawyer-speak to me...

    That's why we need to replace buracrats with computers- so that one day we can have a culture where no man ever has power over another man's life.
    It's been done. Haven't you ever seen the documentary, The Matrix?

    Yes, when your expectations are that low, taking a dump would be an everyday, positive surprise.

    I think the holiday season is making me dyslexic or something. I misread Satan as Santa. I was trying to figure out what you were doing trying to sell your soul to Santa... I guess you might get what you want for christmas...

  18. Re:So. on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    I can't speak for the GP, but I've found that in most cases, people don't. This may explain the amount of viruses around the internet.

  19. Re:It's a joke! on Using GPS to Track Teens · · Score: 1

    Yes, but I would assume that the GPS records the speed of the cell phone, not the sctual speed of the car. If you hit something, the kinetic energy of the phone would keep it moving, unless it was secured to the car somehow. It would then fly into an object, and may stop when it hits that. That makes the calculations pretty complicated, I would think...

  20. Re:Two hundred and forty seven thousand?!?! on Inside an Adware Company · · Score: 1

    Very nice StrongBad reference. I see a strongba in there, but it's getting eaten by some linux or something. By the way, it's 423,827 viruses.

  21. Re:AOL is sadly the standard on AOL Locks Out AIM Screen Names · · Score: 1

    In my area (Minnesota, near minneapolis), many people use AIM only. There are a few who use yahoo. My mom uses AIM, and had her account locked for no reason, so she was one of the affected.

    On a side note, this past weekend, I, in my capacity as a youth leader at my church, was attending a speaker about sex and STD's. A casual acquaintance came up to me, and asked if I had AIM. My reply, of course, was "I don't know, I've never been tested."

  22. Re:SingleWindow extension? on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    I get the same thing. Who would have thought that the convienince of having javascript links open in a tab would also make it more secure. Perhaps it is vulnerable, but it could be security by obscurity or something. They may not think that is a common configuration, so they don't work around it.

    It seems to make a new tab in the window of the securia page that says that the other popup was hijacked. This all while the actual popup is still there, as well as the popup being in a different set of tabs. It also claims that I don't have a popup blocker.

    If you haven't heard of the Single Window Extension, the homepage is here.

  24. Re:Win2k & Server 2k3 on Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I haven't seen actual statistics on XP, but I'd say it's at least as stable as W2k with SP6.


    Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that Windows 2000 only has service pack 4. This "Service Pack 6" may be some ill-meaning program, sounding like it is helpful, like an internet speeder or something.

    I know you just mistyped, and I'm being a real jerk. I understand why that mistake may be made. First, NT, which 2000 is upgraded from, is on version 6a. Internet Explorer, the default browser on 2000, is also at version 6 something. Same with outlook express, default mail application. WAIT! 3 programs all at version 6? That's 666.
