  1. Re:that's the reason I prefer the pirate version on DVDs, Blu-Rays To Show 20-Second Unskippable Govt. Warnings · · Score: 1

    Can you share what tools / scripts / arguments you use for this?

    I've not found any way to do it without a massive headache. These days I just DeCSS and keep the otherwise pristine ISO file around (I don't do blu-ray, mostly because drives are too expensive for my taste)

    Groping.

    Cancer can kill you. Your personal space being violated can not.

    Apparently you only looked at my first sentence and jumped to reply. Go back and read my whole post, please.

    Kevin Mitnick might disagree. Replace curiosity with malice... the techniques still work.

    No it's not. It just has political ramifications.

    Seems I'm the only person I know who actually uses an alarm clock to wake up with. Everyone these days seems to be using their cell phones.

    ... but there is reason. There has been reasons in the past. It's just that nobody wants to tell NK "Fine, that's it, you want to play, lets play."

    North Korea needs a good regular peppering with anti-radiation munitions it seems.

    Wow. Fail.

    "Heh, we already have missles for that. Just have to work the same idea into a bigger payload :P"

  13. Re:A triumph! on Russian Superjet 100 Crashes During Demo Flight, Killing All Aboard · · Score: 1

    Safety mechanisms cannot magically impart energy into the craft. Nor should they take automatic corrective action, because what if the sensors are wrong?

    Reword it to 37 passengers (mostly representatives from future clients, and journalists).

    Please tell me you don't actually think the people in charge were on board?

    The EGPWS aims straight down, doesn't it? Wouldn't a nose-dive exaggerate any sensed altitude? complicate this further if it's a downslope towards the rear or the craft (the radar would be shooting down the hill)

    So, by that same logic we should never have left the ground.

  17. Re:could this decrease interference in high-rises? on Anti-WiFi Wallpaper Available Next Year · · Score: 1

    Yea, it's the firing electronics (not necessarily the plugs) or the fuel injection. That's not multimode though, just vanilla RFI.

  19. Re:How well does it run on VMs? on Bug Busters! OpenBSD 5.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Last I had to play with it ('cause something moved and broke stuff in... i think 2.6.32?) there was a lot of kernel-specific stuff in those open-vm-tools. Porting that away from Linux would be quite a chore!

    No idea if someone's done it. If so, kudos to them!

  20. Re:Is there an app for blocking app requests? on Facebook Announces App Center · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The most annoying thing is, there's this ONE app that I want. Which means I can't just disable them.

    Go figure, there's not a whitelist option. You can only block ALL apps, or specific ones.

    I've started reporting every "activity report" an app puts up from other people as spam. I'm hoping other people will do so as well.

    Panic!

    Because either the world is ending, or there is going to be a massive flamewar. Decide which one you want to panic over.

    Hell, you even email the guy and the issue doesn't get fixed.
