  1. Re:What's the point? on Easy Throw-Away Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    I have one of those... currently I get 3k emails a day of spam. Does that clear things up?

    And yes, Ive only used it for web ordering.

  2. Re:Software Mindshare? on Microsoft's Battle For Software Mindshare · · Score: 0

    What is with these constant (and REALLY bad) attempts to turn a karma profit with these silly poems?

  3. Re:One word: on Safe Computing For the Elderly? · · Score: 1

    You do realize "Apple Macintosh" is TWO word, or am I giving you too much credit?

  4. Re:Am I the only one? on AMD Fusion To Add To x86 ISA · · Score: 1

    Except AMD bought VIA who had the MediaGX line which is exactally this, only about 8 years ago

  5. Cyrix on Slashback: AMD/ATI, Tokamak Fusion, Laptop Privacy · · Score: 2, Informative

    Cyrix already had a cpu/gpu/whatever else combo. It was the MediaGX

  6. Re:Even if done by M$FT, it's still spyware... on Paul Thurrott Bitten by WGA · · Score: 1

    You have to be out of your mind. Getting Quake2/3 native to work on a modern distribution is murder. I would imagine the same goes for most of the aged games on that list. They were meant for a whole mess of different kernel/lib/X configuration. Hell, Quake2 native uses svgalib.

    If you search around, most people recommend actually playing these games in WINE. They run better and "just work"

  7. Re:Absence of information? Hardly. on Mysterious Website Actually Social Experiment · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like http://zombo.com

  8. Problems on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1, Informative
    • I should NEVER need to open a console (How often do Windows Users need cmd.exe?)
    • The user doesn't care about the neat things they can get from /proc /dev and the likes. Hide these.
    • Coming from Windows all of my libraries are in windows\system32 or in the directory of the actual application. Linux could put them in /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, /usr/share/lib/, etc, and my application is almost certainly not going to have its own directory.
    • Permissions... In windows, if I want to give someone permissions, all I have to do is right click, go to the Permissions tab and add a user, tweak their access. In Linux, it suffers from the Owner/Group paradigm. I shouldn't have to change the user account (add a group to it) to access files.
  9. Re:Memory on Firefox 2 Alpha 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    When is it that you can not delete what you allocated?

  10. Re:DOA?? on DOA Coming to the Theater Near You · · Score: 1

    Movie's like resident evil are the PERFECT games to make movies from. The game revolves around an intricate story, else it would be no fun.

  11. Re:suprise :( on Seven Mobile ATA Hard Drives Compared · · Score: 1

    I'll take this opinion over that one:

    flammable Audio pronunciation of "flammable" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (flm-bl) adj. Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; inflammable

  12. Re:What happens on Seven Mobile ATA Hard Drives Compared · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Let me guess... this is the website for the kids dad that beat you up and took your ipod?

  13. suprise :( on Seven Mobile ATA Hard Drives Compared · · Score: 4, Funny

    tremendous boost in performance by upgrading this one component

    If you think THATs suprising, imagine my face when I found out that FLAMMABLE and INFLAMMABLE mean the SAME THING.

  14. Sure on Most Web Users Unable to Spot Spyware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One interesting conclusion from this study showed that even users with a high "Spyware IQ" have a nearly 100% chance of visiting a dangerous site during 30 days of typical online searching and browsing activity.

    Sure, we like to visit places like http://www.cracks.am, who actually write their own spyware. But I am not so sure that qualifies me as ever installing any of their garbage.

  15. Re:My Opinion on IP Addressing Space Management Applications? · · Score: 1

    If the system is layed out well, it will pretty much document itself, minus some scribbles on a napkin.

    What we really need is a fake Extacy detector. The world would be a better place.

    but what I want to know is, why is it when Im looking at a red digital clock and Im eating something crunchy, the lines in the numbers all jumble, but nothing else does?

  22. Re:Permissions? on Microsoft Bypasses HOSTS File · · Score: 1

    That is a good example, but I wan't specifically thinking of that setup. The problem is, said ActiveX control, at WORST, will run at the level of the user running it. If said user has the ability to say... install Explorer hooks, well then, I would say that justify my statement.

  23. Re:Permissions? on Microsoft Bypasses HOSTS File · · Score: 1

    You do know that The NT line of Windows IS NOT the same as Win9x, right? Security works fine. It is the design of applications that is flawed.
