  1. Re:April First Post on Microsoft Buys OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    What, this "Internet" thing is, like, actually useful on other days?

  2. An PC, AMD Athlon 1500+ on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    So I am sorta kinda still young, so what? ;)

    ... though the first machine I really used was my fathers olb box, some IBM thing running DOS.

  3. Well great! on New .XXX Top Level Domain · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More TLDs noone is going to use because ".com" just sounds cooler.

  4. XFCE on Microsoft Developing Windows for Low-End Machines · · Score: 1

    So? How about XFCE? Or fluxbox? Those should still work pretty well.

  5. Re:Food-force website slashdotted. on UN Food Programme Releases Game · · Score: 1

    Well, torrent anyone?

  6. Virus Filters on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    IMHO doing some filtering at the provider could help. My mail provider uses a Spam/Virus filter that works with black/whitelists for each user and a global blacklist created by the provider (Which can be overridden by my personal whitelist). Haven't seen a virus in my inbox for 2 years and counting.

  7. They had it coming... on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 1

    ...He smiles and says: "this technology makes us to the premier station-independant city-bike-sytem. the code is unbreakable and we are really proud of"...

    Unbreakable, is it? Like banking via BTX?

  8. I dont care thet much... on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    All trackers I use are still there. Google filetype:torrent finds basically everything. And if nothing else works, usenet does.

  9. This is what is needed... on Futures Markets Face Trading Patent Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...to kill software patents, suing guys with lots of dollars and lawyers for patent infringment.

  10. Re:Suprnova now a pay site on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    There happens to be a difference between suprnova.org and .com/.net. (See .org title)

  11. Disclaimer on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A bittorent tracker disclaimer:

    None of the files shown here are actually hosted on this server. The links are provided solely by this site's users. The administrator of this site cannot be held responsible for what its users post, or any other actions of its users. You may not use this site to distribute or download any material when you do not have the legal rights to do so. It is your own responsibility to adhere to these terms.

    Can anyone who knows about legal stuff probably explain to me if such a disclaimer is of any use for a BT tracker?

  12. I don't nknow if that's a good thing on Decentralizing Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    IMHO having a tracker is a good thing. My problem with kazaa, emule and the like is, in fact, that you can effortlessy search the whole network. With BT, there is no such thing as 'The whole Network'. When you download stuff using a small tracker that only tracks like 10 files, what is the chance of having it scanned by the *AA? True, this application will make it easier to find soething, but that also makes scanning the network easier.

  13. Re:ANY REASON to even try it? on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    The GUI, for one, is unique. Friggin ugly, yeah. But unique.

  14. What? on Sun's Activity Levels Reconstructed · · Score: 2, Funny

    They've been around for so long and their Java-Interpreter is still not... Oh, wait, you mean that other sun, don't you?

  15. Re:Ah, yes on Government Linux Gaming Supercomputer · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think they will likely use a more advanced System, probably something like a Double-WOPR.

  16. Re:So when... on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    What? Dilitium? Why are you using ancient technology? Trilitium, if anything!

  17. But what happens... on IBM Introduces Biometric Thinkpad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I break my Finger? I need my files, you know...

  18. I think this is authentic on Soviet Space Shuttle Found In Bahrain? · · Score: 1

    I live in germany, and guess what is in our local Newspaper? Seems like the Technik Museum Sinsheim, a Museum a few kilomters from where I live, bought this thing. (Since they also have a Concorde, I think they quite do have the possibilities to do so.)
