  1. Re:So in order to Not Track Me properly on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The FTC may ask everything they want, but the internet is not limited to the USA. Once again, they fail to understand the scope of what they're asking.

    The FTC should instead recommend a technical solution about disabling cookies, going through proxies, etc.

    The real question is: how much disabling and routing would it take to be 100% anonymous, at least as far as websites/marketing is concerned?

    ...auto-detects a user's browser and then imitates the relevant malware warning pages from Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome.

    What about Safari and Opera users?

    I get asked every month or so to help someone fix their bloated windows zombie machine. I always suggest switching, but nobody has tried it yet.

    Keep suggesting switching, help people switch if necessary. But for crying out loud, stop doing free technical support for Microsoft.

    What's funny is all those fake warning boxes trying to trick me.

    "Windows XP has detected a problem!" ...really? I thought my Mac mini was running Snow Leopard!? I guess I was wrong!

    Do not try to gouge your eyes out with it — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no spoon.

  10. Re:mac mini / front row on Video Appliance For a Large Library On a Network? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The remote isn't included, but it has the infrared port required for one. You just need to buy the remote separately, unless you want to use an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad to control your media (free "Remote" app).

    The new Mac mini has both HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs.

  11. What? on GameStop Pulls Medal of Honor From Military Bases · · Score: 1

    GameStop has decided it won't sell the title at its stores located on US military bases

    I'm more confused by the fact that there is commercial stores inside USA military bases in the first place.

    You're confusing stickers with speed holes.

    Now that I think about it, it might explain the speed of the Mac Pro...

    However, Slashdot lacks a "fight" moderation choice, so you got modded "Troll" instead.

    I'm just waiting to see rental season passes like they have (had?) for buying the episodes.

    If they cut the price in half for SD files I'm sure a lot more people would go for it. And since not everything is 44 minutes long, cutting the price in half yet again for 22 minutes long shows would be perfect. Single episode, 22 minutes long, SD resolution: 0.25$ rental.
