  1. Re:and its only half the machine too! on NNSA Supercomputer Breaks Computing Record · · Score: 1

    Holy shit. WTF are they going to use that kind of power for anyways?

  2. Hahaha on Yahoo and Google to Merge? · · Score: 1

    Hahaha. Bullshit.

  3. Re:Internet access and accessories on PSP Launch Coverage · · Score: 1

    How are you supposed to use all these great programs? Through the d-pad and buttons.

    With one of these

  4. Re:It won't work on IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers · · Score: 1

    Not to mention it will double the spam traffic on the internet. The computer sending he spam will get the information but it will simply discarid it because, like you said, they won't have an SMTP server listening. Either way, the mail servers you get your email through will get hardest hit with 2x the spam.

  5. Re:Anyone got the copy of the article? on 'Spamalot' Subscribers to Get Spam ... a Lot · · Score: 3, Informative

    And for other websites, use BugMeNot, the firefox extension. Quite helpful.

  6. Re:hasnt the ipod line abandoned firewire? on Was the Mac mini Intended to Have an iPod dock? · · Score: 2, Informative

    From what I heard, they haven't abandoned firewire, the cable is still available but they only ship ipods with the USB cable now.

  7. Size? on Li-Ion With 300% More Power, Minutes to Recharge · · Score: 1

    Sure they last 3 times longer and charge in 10 minutes which are both great features but what about the size?

  8. Re:I can't read the editorial on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    Another wonderful service provided by google, their ranslation tool.

  9. Long time on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 1, Informative

    Wow that's a while for a Windows machine to go uncompromised online. Last I heard, 15 seconds was how long it took.

  10. Re:spam? Whats spam? on Eisenstadt's Analysis Of 8 Years' Worth Of Email · · Score: 1

    Even checking that, I didn't have spam. I don't know how I'm doing it but I seem to be able to keep spam away from my inbox. Except for my Yahoo acct.

  11. Re:What's the likelihood it would mutate? on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    You have a point there. Unless made in such a way to prevent that mutation, it could take on a mind of its own and do whatever it wants becoming more deadly than the cancer itself.

  12. Like I've said before...... on MPAA Developing Digital Fingerprinting Technology · · Score: 1

    Like I've said before, the only way to stop people from copying the music is to prevent them from playing it. Ever.

  13. Re:Easy way to kill a PC? on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of that guy who hosted a webpage on his George Foreman grill. That must've killed it!

  14. Re:Firefox basic design is simply better. on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    But if it came down to it I'm sure it would be trivial to add a configuration setting to Firefox that allowed you to prevent all XPI/Plugin installation full stop. And I for one would welcome it.

    There is one to disable that feature already. Go to Tools -> Options and under Web Features, uncheck "Allow websites to install software"

    Once that's done, whenever something tries to install from a website, you'll get a little bar at the top telling you what the website tried to do after it blocks the action.

  15. Re:Houston, we have lost a S.W.O.R.D.S. unit on Household Emergent Behavior? · · Score: 1

    How amusing that would be.

  16. Physical Keyloggers on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    Ever see the physical key loggers that connect directly to the PS/2 cable (in-line style)? They are 'undetectable' by AV scanners and Windows won't even know it's there. If it's a computer running under a desk, only a very close inspection will reveal its presence. The way to get it in is by typing a very specific message and ending it with some sort of password.

  17. Re:*yawn* on Review: Burnout 3 - Takedown · · Score: 1

    6-7 hours? Within two months of playing, I had over 250 hours of accumulated playtime.

  18. For PS2 also on Review: Burnout 3 - Takedown · · Score: 3, Informative

    I don't know why so many reviews I've read say it's for the Xbox and not the PS2. It's equally as great on the PS2 and the online play is free no less. What the hell?

    It's a great game none the less.

  19. Re:Pie Gate on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    Nice.

  20. Re:Can we run servers yet? on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    Same here. I don't have a problem with people getting to my site.

  21. Re:The No.1 feature I want in Firefox on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    Definately would be nice. Maybe someone will figure out the code required to make an extension.

  22. Re:The No.1 feature I want in Firefox on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    Those sound pretty nice actually. The download manager I wouldn't need because I'm on broadband but the one about when it crashes sure would be helpful for the once-in-a-blue-moon time it happens.

    I was looking at the graphical version of the graph.

  24. No math skills on Build Your Own BSD Beer Brewing Control System · · Score: 1

    How much has he drank already? He says the X axis is temperature and the Y axis is time. It's the other way around. Last time I looked at a graph, the X axis was across the bottom and the Y one was going up and down.

    Instead of:

    X axis: temperature.
    Y axis: Time. This should be the local time (Australian CST, 9½ hours ahead of UTC in winter, 10½ hours ahead in summer), but currently it's still showing UTC.


    It should read:

    X axis: Time. This should be the local time (Australian CST, 9½ hours ahead of UTC in winter, 10½ hours ahead in summer), but currently it's still showing UTC.
    Y axis: temperature.

    Good for them. One less computer to be harvesting spam from.
