  1. Re:So lemme get this straight on First Use of RIPA to Demand Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    Volume size permitting, you can nest hidden volumes indefinitely (afaik).

  2. Re:You forgot the first step... on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1

    You were probably joking about the White House and Pentagon. On the off chance you weren't, it's extremely easy to build bunkers that can safely contain nuclear waste. It's hard to build bunkers that can safely contain nuclear waste for a long time.

  3. Tiger? on Leopard Claims Half the Japanese OS Market In October · · Score: 1

    Why was Tiger being sold at all, and why the hell would it cost more than Leopard?

  4. Re:Admins to blame? on Call For Halt To Wikipedia Webcomic Deletions · · Score: 1

    Non-notability is not a criteria for speedy deletion. No claim of notability is.

  5. Re:server? on Apple to Allow Virtual Mac OS X Server Instances · · Score: 1

    If the sysdadmin has nothing to do, he could play a pretty badass game of Tetris.

  6. Re:Maybe this stems from... on Vista Runs Out of Memory While Copying Files · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Forced down your throat?
    • Buy a copy of XP (and tell the company you bought your laptop from you disagreed to the EULA - you can get a refund)
    • Use an alternative OS (whether it be Linux or OSX or whatever)
    • Buy a laptop that has XP preinstalled (yes, companies still sell them)
  7. Re:Psychology on James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But that's ok. If Speaker Cable A sounds better than Speaker Cable B to me, why souldn't I buy it?Because you're a sucker if you do.
  8. Honestly... on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 1

    No. Did you honestly expect any other answer, especially from the Slashdot crowd?

  9. Re:Just one question on English Wikipedia Gets Two Millionth Article · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't use *any* encyclopedia on a paper for college. You can use one to get a general overview of a subject, but stick to other sources for actual citations and fact-checking.

  10. Re:Why isn't SCO in on this? on Copyright Alliance Says Fair Use Not a Consumer Right · · Score: 1

    Not that it doesn't excuse Microsoft from its other problems, but wasn't there an article earlier about how Microsoft was helping to *defend* fair-use?

  11. Re:Lies, damned lies, and statistics on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 1

    Mostly that "1 in 6" is somewhat inflated (but more importantly, incorrect). It is incorrect to say that Apple is now selling "better than one laptop in six" when you aren't counting all laptops sold. If you factor in online sales, direct marketers (e.g., Dell), and the stores that NPD doesn't include, the sales numbers will be lower (although, iirc, Apple's sales have increased significantly - which to me seems more important than % of laptops sold).

  12. Lies, damned lies, and statistics on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those too lazy to read the summary, this doesn't include online sales.

  13. Re:Question... on Will Pervasive Multithreading Make a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    Given the amount of time ME runs before crashing, I think it's more like William Henry Harrison

  14. Re:stupid article writeup on Bank on Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm missing something, but this doesn't have anything specifically to do with the iPhone.

  15. Re:The site in question? on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

  16. Chairs? on MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers · · Score: 1

    I'd hate to see the Ballmer way.

  17. Re:repossessing on MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers · · Score: 1

    In this case, it wouldn't be state property. The computers would be the property of MegaCorp which offers the computers for free in exchange for the users watching (and paying attention to) adverts. Honestly, this has little to do with schools (e.g., it could be used ANYWHERE) This does NOT apply in any way to computer purchased by the schools (or whoever the end user is)

  18. Re:um, no? on MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Did you even read the patent? This is for situations where a company gives a person a computer for free in exchange for looking at their ads. This isn't going to be a standard feature in Windows / something end-users install.

  19. Honestly on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Did anybody seriously expect the Zune to gain a lot of market share?

  20. Re:The CS Community on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    Yes, but as I was saying, strategy shouldn't depend on weapon prices.

  21. Re:The CS Community on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    If Clan X was good, changing prices in weapons would only minimally affect them.

  22. Re:Default mode on A Visual Walkthrough of New Features in Vim 7.0 · · Score: 1
    You seem to be very easily annoyed. Use vi or ViM for a while and the dual mode system becomes second nature and you miss it in other applications
    Seriously. Only a few months after I used vi(m) for the first time, I would often type "i" and ":w" in OpenOffice and wonder for a second what the hell was wrong.
  23. Jesus on Integrate iPod with Car or Risk Death · · Score: 1
    We suggested to Borchers that Apple should allow drivers to use their car steering wheel as a giant Clickwheel interface, so that you can change tracks by changing lanes
    Better hope the drivers around you aren't indecisve.
  24. Re:"undesired words and phrases " on Microsoft Seeking to Patent Automatic Censorship · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Bill of Rights does NOT protect against censorship by non-government entities. If you are using some Microsoft service, Microsoft has every right to censor whatever you say.

  25. Pretty cool on Awesome Multimedia Technology Heads for KDE · · Score: 1

    KDE 4 may seriously cause me to switch from Gnome.
