  1. Re:Question on Court Sets Rules For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    The obvious answer is to rename all mp3s to .xlw, and then associate .xlw with your audio player. As xlw is an Excel format that the vast majority of users don't even know exist, it won't cause problems for most people, but the files automatically become "Documents", which the computer expert is not allowed to examine.

  2. Re:Hope it works on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    When reading Dreppers' comments, my browser died with a SIGEGOTOOBIG.

    Ah, the old SIGFAULT. You should recompile with Eglibc.

    Because when I buy gas to run my lawnmower, I'm clearly damaging the roads.

    Unless you walk to the fuel station, you probably are.

    2000 was never a home/consumer OS.

    I used psyBNC to do that - it works well (except when it crashes and nukes your config file :( )

  7. Re:Millenium 2 on Microsoft Not Ditching Vista Until At Least 2011 · · Score: 1

    ME was horribly unreliable, compared to 98SE, which, as far as I'm concerned, is the best home/consumer OS released by Microsoft to date.

    I think you're wrong. With the ease of information transfer and academic research that the internet allows now, but didn't for large portions of the previous 40 years, there is huge potential for growth in knowledge and inventions, compared to 40 years ago.

    Orange and white, Orange. Green and White, Blue. Blue and White, Green. Brown and White, Brown.

    Australian A standard is Green and white, Green - Orange and White, Blue - Blue and White, Orange - Brown and White, Brown, and the Australian B standard is Orange and white, Orange - Green and White, Blue - Blue and White, Green - Brown and White, Brown.

    For a straight-through cable, use either standard A or standard B at both ends. For a crossover, use standard A at one end, and B at the other.

    If it made VISTA mandatory; and outlawed use of BSD, Linux, Solaris, and Mac O/S by anyone with long term jail sentences at hard labor, Microsoft would be praising it as progressive, enlightened, and humanistic.

    and slashdot would be enraged, shocked. completely opposite of the reaction now. whereas both situations are completely equal: bias against a specific company.

    Wait, BSD, Linux, Solaris, and Mac O/S is a specific company now?

    How oftn do we have to see posts like this before Taco actually takes notice and fixes this issue? Really?

    I have created a Greasemonkey script that helps prevent this (link in sig), which is useful for FF/Greasemonkey users, but it's only a hack.

    Can we have this fixed already?
