  1. Re:But...but...but on Electronic Transaction Reporting Slipped Into Senate Bill · · Score: 0, Troll

    Da Bush IS the incompetent root of all evil.
    Look around you, the proof is indisputable.

  2. Re:Not the same, but similar. on Internet Pirates In France To Lose Broadband · · Score: 1

    search for "port knocking"

  3. Re:things you may need/want to have Flash on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Haven't found one yet. Why would anyone want code written by marketdroids running on their machine?
    If they can't get the their concept, let alone the information I seek in plain HTML, they probably do not have anything useful on the site, like say pricing.

  4. Re:Thats what they get on Mass Effect DRM Still Causing Issues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Attribution was correct, just incomplete. Should have been "Lady Vader". See the 1st Timothy Zahn Trilogy. Zahn has done an excellent job of extending and supplementing the SW milieu.

  5. Re:Has Mozilla managed to fix PDF yet? on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    Why futz with Acrobat? Get a better reader from foxit.com, loads quickly and even has a checkbox to turn of the self-aggrandizing advertisement in the toolbar.

    Ben: That's not a mouth that's RECTUM!
    Han: Chewie get us out of here!

  9. Re:You want to be really scared? on SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    One might also note that there is no actual war in progress.
    Congress has made no declaration of war, just appropriated hundreds of billions of our childrens and grand childrens tax dollars for TWAT (The Weaseling Against Terror).
    One would think that a member of the SCOTUS would be a little more aware of such legal considerations.

  10. OT: your alias on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 1

    Inspired the visual of Shatner impacting the dome on the Enterprises saucer and breaking his neck. Leaving us to follow the misadventures of a 171cm actor for the rest of the post.

    Alternatively: Uhura squeezing one of his buttocks in the Turbolift. Maybe Spock would be more amusing?

    Well it would make me feel better.
    Does that count?

  14. Re:My Stewped Bank' "Website" on Adobe Flash Zero-Day Attack Underway · · Score: 1

    I use FF and block flash with National City.
    I think it does need JS enabled, though ...BRB... yup password page needs it, sigh.

    Add "https://onlinebanking.nationalcity.com/OLB/offers/*"
    to adblock.

    From their FAQ, not really a recommendation, more of a suggestion with alternatives, although I, too, would prefer an explicit and preceding mention of FF.

    Q. What are the system requirements for Online Banking via the Internet?

    A. To bank online with National City via the Internet, you must have Internet access, and a browser that supports 128-bit encryption such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Netscape Navigator 7.0 or higher or Safari 1.0 or higher.

  15. "Art of War" is gutenberg.org/etext/132 on Microsoft Reaches Out To Blender · · Score: 3, Informative

    You may find a copy of Sun-Tzu's "Art of War" at your local [bookstore]
    Since it has been out of copyright for a couple thousand years, it is far cheaper to get it from Project Gutenberg, though a small donation wouldn't hurt. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/132

  16. Re:It is not going to happen. on Microsoft Reaches Out To Blender · · Score: 1

    What makes you think MS is afraid of a breach of contract suit from a penny ante organization like the Blender folks? Even IF they were found guilty and IF the punishment were more than a token slap on the wrist, any awards for damages would be paid out of petty cash.

  17. Two OSs that compete on Windows XP SP3 Creating Havoc · · Score: 1

    "compete", I don't think that word means what you think it means.

  18. Re:Linux on In Australia, XP Cheaper Than Linux On Eee 900 · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the eee uses non-conventional vendors for hardware and the standard distros do not have the full-spectrum of drivers yet. The latest Mandrake is supposed to support it out of the box. I have downloaded and burned the iso, just haven't tried installing to to my 704 yet. There are mostly one-man-band attempts to create feeedora, eeebuntu and geeentoo distros, but they don't seem to have made much progress when I looked a month or so ago.

  21. Re:The executive should have a "secrets budget" li on Senate Proposal To Clarify 'State Secrets' Doctrine · · Score: 1

    It's not necessarily in the best interest of the country for the Vice-President to have a vested interest in the demise of the President More othen than not, though given the recent example.
  22. ... sauce for the gander on FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone · · Score: 1

    Pre-requisite would be that all U.S. Mail and internet history of FBI bureaucrats in that chain of command and every congress critter that votes approval for this be posted publicly so that it can be combed for evidence of corruption and conspiracy to abrogate the constitutional rights of American citizens that is certain to be there.
    Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

    I make no attempt at determining source of the light I see in the atrium on the other side of the window, yet I am reasonably confident that it originates primarily from the sun.
    I haven't RTFA, but what other plausible source would these spurious resets come from?
