    I havent RTFA but..
    sending over 280 million illegal spam emails. Under state law, the ISP was entitled to $10 per illegal e-mail sent.
    280000000 x $10 !=11200000000 Am i missing something?
  2. Re:won't install for me on Google Desktop 2 Live · · Score: 1

    I got the same problem. Is there a way to install the app onto another drive other than C:? My C drive is down to about 500mb but its been like that for over a year. I got about 250GB free on other drives. Although i would hope this wouldnt take up that much space. No dodgy environment on my box..bog standard XP SP2 w/ latest patches.

  3. Re:"Service Pack" on Slashback: DRM, MPAA, ADSL · · Score: 1
    Oh, and don't bother to use Firefox to try to download the "Service Pack": it's IE only.
    How else do you think they're gonna install the latest rootkit?

    ...which is a 300MB download!! WTF! That's bigger than some Linu distro's!

  6. Re:Wait a moment... on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1
    It's no different than uninstalling Windows from your PC and installing Linux instead - should Microsoft be able to remotely destroy your PC in such a case?
    You dont need to install Linux for Microsoft to destroy your PC. You don't even need an Internet connection for Microsoft to destroy your PC - they can do it with a CD these days!

    Anyways, a few minutes with tcpdump and IPTables should stop the player giving you any grief ;)
  7. Whats it like? on Linspire 5.0 Free For Limited Time · · Score: 1

    Has anyone had much experience with Linspire/Lindows? What makes it better than all the other distro's...Fedora, Mandrake, Ubuntu, etc

    Or is it just the same as the rest but with a shiny box and a pricetag?

  8. Re:Considering what we know... on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1
    The neanderthals had funerals
    Are you sure? I seem to recall one of the main differenes between us and the neandertals was imagination. The whole idea behind funerals relates to religion/faith/spiritual belief/etc whereas they didn't have any concept of such things.

    Thinking about it, the world might have been a better place if we hadnt invented a God to fight for.
  9. Re:Heard this before... on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    The BBC also did a really good documentary about the evolution of man with plenty of info about Neanderthals in the last few episodes. "Walking with Cavemen" if anyone's interested. It's floating about on a torrent somewhere no doubt.

    Anyone know the name of the Discovery one?

  10. bugger.. on King Kong vs. Movie Pirates · · Score: 1, Funny

    ..and theres me getting all excited, thinking there's an early rip of King Kong out.

  11. Re:The Cost on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 2, Funny
    I'm not willing to pay the same price to see "Bewitched" that I am willing to pay to see Star Wars Ep III.
    Me neither, Star Wars Ep III sucked.
