  1. Re:Huh? on VM Enables 'Write-Once, Run Anywhere' Linux Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering I've never ever installed a program from a cd under Linux dont you think autoplay would be useless? :P

    I think package management is far superior to cds. For one you cant lose your package management and spend half a day looking for it.

  2. Re:From TFA: free pr0n! on IPv4 Unallocated Addresses Exhausted by 2010 · · Score: 1

    Nothing stopping you from using NAT, Mr. Paranoid.

    Heck if you wanted to you could use NAT and change ips in your block once a hour if you wanted to.
    Thats increased anonymity.

  3. Re:How do you fix it? on Survey Finds Most WordPress Blogs Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Dude mod_security *is* a joke. Its a band aid solution.

    What would do if a security flaw was found in your blog?
    a) Update to the latest version.
    b) Make a mod_security rule to block it.

    If you choose a) then mod_security is redundant.
    If you choose b) then your a idiot.

    Its better. You'll be giving money to us (Australia) rather than the middle east. :)

  5. Re:palm interface on a linux kernel? on The Palm OS Ends With a Whimper · · Score: 1

    I think they mentioned that the LifeDrive would be compatible with it. Not the TX though.

    Doesnt matter too much. Bluetooth support in Linux now works and wifi will come soon.
    Homebrew ports rock.:)

  6. Re:Brand new attack vectors on Attack-Proof Power Line to be Installed Under NY · · Score: 1

    Thats ironic because there will be lots of spare copper wire lying around from the old powerlines. ;)

    What the hell are you on? GP is completely correct and your just ranting.

  8. Re:Why? on Microsoft Announces OOXML-UOF Project with China · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There probably should be a 'Get OpenOffice' campaign just like the 'Get Firefox' campaign when Firefox 1.0 was released.

  9. Re:Gallium too expensive for this. on Aluminum Alloy Releases Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 1

    The thing is that the gallium isnt used in the process. Its comes out as a by-product which can be recycled.

    Oh the common interface is there. Its just that people (like you) dont know about it.

  11. Re:Typical Microsoft response on Malware Hijacks Windows Update · · Score: 1

    Nope. This was using Active Directory.

    You'll find that it will only stop programs from being executed the usual way (e.g. Run, Explorer, Shortcuts, etc...). There are other ways to execute a program.

  12. Re:Slow News Day Indeed on User Created Content is Key for New Games · · Score: 1

    Heh. I still play it without the user created stuff.

    The gameplay is second to none.
    Plus with a Dual Core processor we can finally hit the 5,000 unit mark and just swarm our enemies with Peewees. :D

  13. Re:Just... on User Created Content is Key for New Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey what about a flight sim in pre-2001 New York with realistic collisions and explosions.

    Or is that taking it too far? ;)

  14. Re:Typical Microsoft response on Malware Hijacks Windows Update · · Score: 1

    If my security policy disables the ability for the user to execute anything but the trusted apps I have on their machines

    Yeah my old school tried that one. So goddamn easy to bypass.
    Took us a week or two to find half a dozen ways to get around it. The admins eventually gave up.

  15. Re:Typical Microsoft response on Malware Hijacks Windows Update · · Score: 1

    Your giving examples of Windows security but they mean nothing in the real world.

    Read only flash disks? Meh. A virus can still jump across and screw up the entire network.

    Completely useless 'security'.

  16. Re:Attempted Infection == Infection on Click Here To Infect Your PC! · · Score: 1

    Usually I would agree with you.

    But keep in mind that these people are virtually ALL running Windows and they just clicked a ad which promised to install malware on their computers.
    They arent the brightest cookies in the jar.

  17. Re:Halo's popularity on Bungie Vs. Miyamoto - Fight! · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. I've never played it and I've only seen it once and it was a real meh game.

    The rocket scientists dont look after the blueprints. The janitors do.

  19. Re:That is insane. on Norway Moves Towards Mandatory Use of ODF and PDF · · Score: 1

    IMHO its better choosing one specific format rather than every man and his dog having a 'open' document format and noone being able to open anyone else's documents.

    Try using ODF. You might like it.

    than raising the dead, resurrecting themselves three days after a brutal execution and ascending to the heavens? Mind telling me who these people are? I love that one. His body disappears (e.g. stolen or deliberately moved) and they say he resurrected.

    Usually yeah its pretty light but I do occasionally thrash them badly. Mucking around with 200gig databases is one example. :)
