  1. welp.... on Virgin Media UK Begins Throttling P2P Traffic · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And this is why all traffic should be obfuscated, if not encrypted. The ISPs have no business knowing what the content of the packets going across their wires are.

  2. Umm on Swedish ISPs To Thwart EU Data Retention Law · · Score: 1

    , wouldn't this royally screw up incoming connections unless they used some kind of rapid renewing PAT?

  3. Re:Filed by Ken Cuccinelli on Judge Declares Federal Healthcare Plan (Partly) Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    True, but the flaming crazies on the other side of the fence challenge the other half of things. It all balances out.

  4. Now! on Deep Packet Inspection Set To Return · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Everyone needs to get off their asses and enable https.

  5. Re:Well... on Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? · · Score: 1

    You're correct, it's the opamps I was thinking of, I remember doing some reading up on them when I was reading about soundcards and technical papers 5 years ago when I was bored.

  6. Well... on Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I would like it point out that a good card lets you recieve certain inputs that a normal card would not, such as both coax and optical SPDIF. I also would say that much of the audio quality comes from the DACs and Sampling rate conversion.

  7. Not really... on Hiding Backdoors In Hardware · · Score: 1

    I love how all this is called "undetectable". When you could pick it up with a simple network monitor.

  8. Not again... on China Now Halting Shipments of Rare Earth Minerals To US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Kids, pay attention, this is how wars get started. (I'm not suggesting we are about to start lobbing nukes at each other, but this historically causes issues, see Japan and WWII)

  9. Well... on Julian Assange To Write For Swedish Tabloid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is he looking for support from the laws that protect journalists?

  10. It's been bought on Xfire Purchased, Team Leaving · · Score: 1

    By who I don't know, go look at xfire's main page.

  11. Anyone who is stupid enough to work with the RIAA on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 3, Insightful

    deserves to get screwed. Seriously, go publish the songs yourself as an independent band. You don't need to be a record label to get it on itunes either (I think)

  12. Well.. on Is PC Gaming Set For a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    This happened with the PS2/Xbox generation too, if some of the older (25+) of us remember.

  13. Am I the only person on The 'Back' Button the Most Clicked Firefox Icon · · Score: 1

    who just uses the backspace key?

  14. Re:Firewall it on HP and Yahoo To Spam Your Printer · · Score: 1

    It's going to connect outbound I'd bet. Most people have routers with NAT so it's not going to be inbound.

  15. This on HP Gives Printers Email Addresses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    could never ever be abused in any way.

  16. Re:That's basically what we did on File Sharing Remains a Perk of College Life · · Score: 1

    Greetings my UC brothers

  17. Sympathy on Ubisoft DRM Problems Remain Unsolved · · Score: 1

    I sympathize for the people who bought this without knowing about the DRM, and hope they hold it against Ubisoft only and not PC Games in general. I have no sympathy for the people who knew about it and bought it anyway.

  18. PSNR Graphs on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 5, Interesting

    http://www.on2.com/index.php?603 I found them on on2's site. I assume those VP8s are at maximum quality, but if those are real, and this is fully open sourced, Theora AND H264 are in for a beating. I imagine that this will replace a lot of the internet... video if it's really that good.

  19. Well on New Legislation Would Crack Down On Online Criminal Havens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And by Cyber-Threats, they mean that they fail to encforce the DMCA.

  20. fail on Western Digital Launches First SSD · · Score: 1

    Possibly a Jmicron, and worse performance than ALL Intel/Indilinx/Samsung/Sandforce controllers and DOUBLE the price? hahahaha, no

  21. Nope on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    I disagree, this DRM will not slow hackers down by more than a day or 2. Additionally, you're going to get a MASSIVE loss of sales due to this. All in all the pirated version is FAR better. /Personally I don't really care about ACII. Also for every new DRM it takes a little longer to break, then every time thereafter is shorter (see Securom)

  22. Really? on Citibank Cancels Bank Account of Objectionable Blogger · · Score: 1

    Why does anyone use Citibank?

  23. ABP on Tynt Insight Is Watching You Cut and Paste · · Score: 1

    I popped up ABP on a wired story page and it was trivial to block tynt's scripts. Stop whining and do it.

  24. How it works on Razer, Valve, and Sixense Working On Motion Control For PC Games · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jeLjaSa0bA&fmt=22 It's a base with magnetic coils, and the controllers have the sensors. They have their absolute position in all six axis at all times, so it's not relative like the Wii.

  25. Speed on Colossus 3.5-in SSD Combines Quad Controllers · · Score: 1

    I'm just speculating, but wouldn't it be MUCH faster to rip out the 2 internal drives and RAID those using your mobo or software? 2x SATAII vs 1xSATAII seems pretty obvious.
