  1. Re:Proof on Download-only Single Becomes UK Number One · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ohhh, if it's Cee-lo and DangerMouse it's an entirely different story. The names are even more ridiculous.

    It's not the way he thinks should be used, it's the right way.

  3. I dont' know about the software package on Homemade Cell Phone Call Blocker? · · Score: 1

    But I can answer the other question. Phone makers have recognized the need for this feature years ago. All the Sony-Ericssons I've used in the last few years, including my present K700i allow restricting the incoming calls to numbers in your contact list. A few if not all of the Siemens phone do that too, and some allow you to restrict it even further to the VIP list.

  4. Re:What is your point? on GoDaddy.com Dumps Linux for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Because in the event You are using ad-supported hosting you're being provided a service free of charge, and it's admissible for the provider to limit what you can do. As an example, if you plaster the thing with ads their ads won't get noticed, and they'll probably lose revenue.

    Actually what the agreement says is:

    I find this rather funny. He's obviously a good programmer (excellent even...) How on EARTH can he have a problem finding 300 bucks??? I'm no programming god by any means (he's pretty damn close to being one.) Yet somehow, I've found a way to earn quite a nice living, filling a niche, doing something I love.

    I don't know, but maybe spending a lot of his time doing something he isn't paid for has something to do with that.

    Then the dumbass news site is right. Take a look at this, or if you don't believe Google go here and take a look at the address.

  8. Learn before you teach on File System Design part 1, XFS · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but if you really like file systems maybe you should try learning something about them before deciding to write this kind of articles. I've had less than 10h of classes on file system design, do not consider myself to know anything about the subject and still got the impression that I knew quite a bit more than you.

    I'm sure you'd also support missile training exercises on your house. After all, they might have to bomb a house or two (with civilians inside) when in war, and it's better to practice before.

  11. Re:Old news on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    Over here most cities do it for free since they win too.

  12. Re:What's a "potentially dangerous" animal? on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    In Portugal, dangerous dogs are those which have previously shown themselved to be violent and those whose breed is listed as a potentially dangerous one - Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Stafordshire Bull Terrier, Tosa Inu and a couple others. Plus, it's a matter of common sense: a rabit can be as violent as he wants, he'll never cause that much dammage.

  13. Re:PETA? on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    Why should they? In Portugal it is already mandatory that all dangerous dogs are carry an implanted chip, and it is encouraged for all animals. The animal doesn't really mind (mine didn't) and if they get lost it just makes it easier for me to find them, and easier for them not to be killed. Plus, if they were abandoned, it would make it easier for the police to come knock at my door. It's a win-win situation.

  17. Re:No case to answer on Electrical Shielding for the Homeowner? · · Score: 1

    The fluoridation argument was not a good one. I won't read the page because I really don't care about wether the man is right or wrong, as I don't believe that powerlines' EMF are generally harmful. But though it might have always been done in the US, a lot of european countries don't add fluoride to the water, and for a lot of good reasons.

    Damn that's really good emulation. You somehow managed to recreate both the workings and the memory consumption of the whole Windows XP OS in one line.

  19. Actually on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    Acording to someone, over the last 5 years there was only one event of a virus-infected instalation package for Mozilla, versus 35 infections for Microsoft.

    See, it's no big deal.

    I actually did like the FF fantasy movie, as opposed to the games...

  21. Re:Obvious on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    Of course people will (would) buy it. Believe it or not, for Microsoft this isn't a game, it's business. The cost of producing, distributing and stocking another version is far greater than the satisfaction of being able to say "But we've got cheap version if you want them", except maybe for people like Eric Raymond.

    Now if you tell me people won't buy it because they will pirate the premium versions, you're right.

  22. Re:Hacking never got anyone anywhere, right? on Microsoft Aims for Hack-Proof 360 · · Score: 1

    The obvious problem is that most modders do it not to run some application but to play pirated games, and nor Microsoft nor the game developers profit from that.

  23. Re:And emule is Fast?!!! on Australian Court says Kazaa Users Breach Copyright · · Score: 1

    Funny, that's not my experience. I'm on a 4000/256kbps connection and I can usually download a (popular) 600MB iso in a day or two... It hasn't always been like this, but give it a few months to gather credits and keep it running 24/7 with a decent upload speed and it will become quite fast.
