  1. Re:Dear Micron, on 8 MegaPixel Digital Sensor Unveiled · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Canon seems to do just fine making CMOS sensors noise free for their cameras. I dont see why this should be any different. In fact canon CMOS sensors outperform their nikon rivals (which are made by sony). You should welcome your new CMOS brethren.

    JEEEEEENKIIIINNS! .. at least i have chicken

  3. Re:Yeah, but it's Raph 'SWG' Koster on A Theory of Fun for Game Design · · Score: 1

    yeah ive quit every game he got his hands on. UO was great until they hired that fool. then the whole company went under. then for some unknown reason they hired him to make star wars as big a flop as possible. hopefully blizzard stays away from him.

    long live richard garriot!

  4. have you ever considered.... on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the fact they might have installed some anti-spam filters when they were upgrading the mail server? duhhh

  6. Re:I'm curious... on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    actually there is metal attached to the motherboard. so theres a chance you can detach it from the mobo without breaking it.... but unlikely

  7. Re:Wire Cutters on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    just get bolt cutters and cut the lock... as close as possible to the laptop.. very easy. those things are so soft. comes right off.

  8. Re:Wire Cutters on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    heh... you know its actually quite easy to cut through the lock itself as opposed to the cable. with a nice pair of bolt cutters those things go down like a stick of gum.

  9. duhhhh on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    yeah... ive been waiting for this day for a long time. kinda like the day i got my leg cut off. maybe i can send them back that check for $12 they sent me so they can get this out the door faster.

    who would buy/use this. thank god for linux

  10. Re:i use windows on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    yes.. i was gettin the gumption up to do it again when sasser came out, but I didnt have the time to compile the cd and this outbreak wasnt as bad. People are definitely willing to spend $20 instead of $80 for an easy blaster fix that will also autopatch the entire system in about 20 mins. also the wait at the store to have a computer fixed was like a day or 2. It was so bad at one point that there were 4 or 5 people standing there with their laptops installing the CD. punks tried to share though =(. however, I did have a little script to install a little backdoor on all their systems though =). lol j/k. its hard to find good help sometimes and when you can make it easy and cheap people will eat it up.

  11. Re:Ignoring the root cause and fighting the sympto on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 2, Informative

    umm... as far as i know the reason microsoft took the course of action they had been taking up until SP2 is so that a lot of the older poorly written software would work on XP. they have since changed their direction and SP2 fixes alot of serious issues as well as renders some of the older crappy progs written for windows inoperable.

  12. Re:Big problem on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    if they would have installed the patch when it came out, which was a month before the worm, they wouldnt have had the problem. its either that or have microsoft set it up to install the patches automatically and everyone is against that. i think ill put more oil in the car after the engine burns up. maybe thatll fix it

  13. Re:The saddest thing about this... on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    well if the people had installed the patches when they came out (blaster patch was about a month before the worm hit) then they wouldnt have to worry. after all that people still dont install patches. its their fault...

  14. i use windows on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 4, Interesting

    and have a hardware firewall, run ie and outlook express and have never had a problem. it can almost always be chalked up to not knowing how to operate things properly. i have made similar cds that are all automated. i used to sell them around the time the blaster worm came out on the side of the streets outside best buy etc for $20 a piece. made a few grand off that. best buy was chargin $80 for the same thing that my cd did =). either way... windows is only as safe as you make it. the only thing required to keep viruses from getting in a windows box is running the patches, and even that isnt that necessary if you have a firewall. all of the rest of the viruses are contracted through user error. poo!
