  1. Tubes? on How The Internet Works - With Tubes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, now I know how to clean up after a DoS attack. Use a plunger!

  2. Re:Not targeting Digg... on AOL Targets Digg, YouTube With New Netscape Site · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, I didn't know about that. Thanks.

  3. Not targeting Digg... on AOL Targets Digg, YouTube With New Netscape Site · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They aren't targeting Digg, they are using the idea of Digg. Digg is a site for tech news, and AOL is using the same format for general news.

  4. Re:The Short Version. on Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped · · Score: 1

    As are most companies of that size. I am conviced that a company can only get so big before it hits critical mass. Too many high level execs that make decisions and promises that they don't understand are bound to cause a lot of problems for everyone.

  5. It doesn't matter on Scientists Respond to Gore on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    At this point, it doesn't really matter wether global warming is real or not. The fact is, the shit we are polluting the earth with isn't good for anyone. Anyone who doesn't believe it should take a little trip to their local poor neighborhoods in industrial areas. I used to make deliveries to the Delray neighborhood in Detroit. The air quality there is incredibly bad, the whole place has a sulfuric smell. If you park your car there for a couple of hours, there will be a layer of this rust colored dust on your car. The whole neighborhood is incredibly grimey looking, with that rust colored dust everywhere. I can't even imagine the health problems the people that live there must have. So really, everyone can argue about global warming all they want, but the fact is, something needs to be done about the disgusting amounts of pollution.

  6. Re:"The freedom to do what we want to do" on Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up · · Score: 1

    And that is beating each other up? Idiots...

    Seriously, why don't they just go out and do drugs like everyone else. Geez.

    Well, if that isn't just good old fashioned paranoia. I mean really, ....... *INTERRUPT TRANSMISSION* Need WoW Gold? Go to http://superwowgoldsite.com/ to buy gold now! *RESUMETRANSMISSION* what a load on nonsense.

  8. This is good..... on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    The more they sue, they stupider they look. Then more people will realize how greedy they are.

    Looks to be a little bit closer anyway. Of course you still can't run OS-X on it(yet anyway?), so that is kind of a bummer.

    He has stocked salmon in his house, but still gets it sent in from Alaska?

  13. Good Thing on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wow, good things the New York Times is there to tell us what is wrong with it. After all, I am sure they have direct access to the source code.

  14. Re:One line summary on The Mini-ITX Linux PVR Project · · Score: 1

    Knoppmyth is pretty decent, in that most of what you need is already there, including all the modules like MythMusic, MythWeb, etc.... The only major issue is having to set up the ivtv drivers for the PVR-350 (if that is what you have).

  15. So, you mean..... on The Physics of Friendship · · Score: 3, Funny

    ....having the creator of a social networking site add himself to everyone's friend's list isn't the way to create a social network?

  16. Re:I believe this is a feature on Root Password Readable in Clear Text with Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Informative

    But you can get the root password, as the default user has sudo access. 'sudo su -', and that is that.

  17. Available on P2P? on Microsoft Tricks Hacker Into Jail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I haven't exactly gone looking for it or anything, but isn't the Windows source code available on P2P?

    If so, that is pretty damn stupid to be selling something that is readily available like that. I am betting these undercover folks would be his only customers.

  18. Re:Wrong section... on Sweden To Be Oil-Free By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Or it could easily be put in Linux if they simply said....

    Not much to play Tux Racer, but if I wanted to ditch XP and play WoW using wine, I can't do that with my ATI card.

  23. Re:Fix Lung Cancer? on Tumor Suppression Gene Discovered · · Score: 1

    My great aunt died because of emphysema. It is really a horrible thing to suffer with. Unfortunately, seeing the effects of that didn't deter me from smoking. It was actually only until it was hitting my wallet a bit too much that I decided to quit.

    Ah well, whatever works I guess.
