  1. Re:Hold on a second.. on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 1

    The reference was subtle, it doesn't surprise me that it was almost missed, or that you didn't get modded.

  2. Re:And in this time of Celebration let us not forg on The Internet At 35 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Remember America, I gave you the Internet, and I can take it back! Think about it."

  3. Re:Hmm? on New Lubricant Leads To Faster Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Thank you, 2 digit UID. I was afraid that no one was going to get it.

  4. Re:FIRST ANAL "HARD DRIVE" LUBRICANT POST! on New Lubricant Leads To Faster Hard Drives · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    How can the first post be redundant!? He was the FIRST one to make a sex joke! If anything, all the ones AFTER this are redundant.

  5. Re:Wow... on New Lubricant Leads To Faster Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Funny

    Check, and check. Yup that's everyone.

  6. Hmm? on New Lubricant Leads To Faster Hard Drives · · Score: 4, Funny

    What are you selling? Hard drives or sex jelly?

  7. Re:Recognizable as an iPod? on HP To Start Selling Its iPod · · Score: 1

    Or they'll do what most iPod owners do and get their music for free. You might find this interesting, and this. I should also say that I own an iPod, and not only have I never used the iTMS, but I don't even have iTunes installed.

  8. Re:No tears over eDonkey on Grokster Decision Won't Stop RIAA, MPAA Suits · · Score: 1

    It's OS, so the chances of it having spyware and no one knowing is slim.

  9. Re:No tears over eDonkey on Grokster Decision Won't Stop RIAA, MPAA Suits · · Score: 1

    Should have went with eMule Plus.

  10. Re:I could really use a gmail account on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    5 actually. Google has been really giving out a lot of them in the last week.

  11. Re:A lot of you don't understand how Steam works on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    And THAT'S what is fucking retarded about steam.

  12. Re:Anybody remember the Quake I shareware disc? on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Exactly, there's no shortage of incentive to get people to try and crack it, and think of the fame the person/group would get for cracking Hl2.

  13. Re:Sure is nice of them... on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Probably closer to a week before it's released.

  14. Amount of protection schemes -VS- working ones on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    How many protection schemes do you remember that worked (never been cracked)? This could be potentially very dangerous for VALVe, I expect to see HL2 available for download before it hits the stores, just like D3, only this time it will be a <10mb crack, and much easier to obtain.

  15. Re:Direct Connect can never be brought down on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    I would say that the eMule (ed2k) credit system is a better approach. That way, you get rewarded for sharing files that people want, and not just gigs of junk you shared to pad your file amount.

  16. Worse... on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    It'll probably be 5 years before any of them see any of their equipment that was seized. The government is notoriously slow in returning "evidence".

  17. Re:That's all? on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    Although not truly lossless, a 320kbps mp3 file would be nearly indistinguishable from a lossless file.

  18. Why? on University Tests Legal File Downloading System · · Score: 1

    In a few months to a year we will have secure, encrypted, anonymous networks that are impossible to track. There are a few in development, and when they start reaching popularity one will pull ahead of the others, and it's game over for the RIAA/MPAA.

  19. Re:Yeah.... right. on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1

    No, he just watches ATHF.

  20. Re:But do they run Linux? on Fold Till You Drop · · Score: 1

    Only in japa...oh, never mind.

  21. Re:Warning on Fold Till You Drop · · Score: 1
  22. Re:UNIX on the desktop in 3 steps! on Linux Desktop Guide · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, what is this "mac" I can't find them at my Wal-Mart.

    No, not a troll. The point is that the people who end up getting a mac are people looking to replace their older mac or people coming from Windows, NOT people buying a computer for the first time. Those kind of people are likely to walk into a Wal-Mart and buy a PC.

  23. Re:Offtopic on MPAA Piracy Survey - Junk Research · · Score: 1

    It's a joke about how out of touch and crazy the RIAA has become.

  24. Re:Memo to all movie websites on South Park Creators Have A New Film · · Score: 2, Informative

    too bad I don't have cable, or even a TV.

    You got the brain implant too eh?
