  1. Not a new idea on Open Source Moving in on the Data Storage World · · Score: 5, Informative

    so it's sort of like parchive http://parchive.sourceforge.net/ which is software splits every file you backup into small slices, any majority of which can be used to perfectly recreate all the original data

  2. Re:Booooring... on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 0

    A remote exploit just from watching a DVD? I'm shure glad windows doesnt' come with a dvd player at all, that way I know I'm safe.

  3. Good News on US Ranking for Broadband Falls · · Score: 0

    Comcast is now in the process of upgradeing all 3Mbit customers to 4Mbit prepare to get excited ;-)

  4. more then ethical on On the Ethics of a Code Split? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Of course useing some code from the fork is ethical. the whole idea of the gpl is to give out the code and let anyone modify it with teh understanding that and modifications can be broght back into the orriginal to improve it. in fact to my understanding you dont' even have to give the patch's writers credit at all. Your going beyond your obligations to give credit to those that deserve it. there is no question in my mind your use of this code is ethical.

  5. brand new from yesteryear? on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 1, Insightful

    From the discription this sounds like nothing more then recording multiple sessions on a cd. This is something that has been done for years by companies that sell mac and windows software, allowing them to put the mac and windows software on one disc for distribution.

  6. mmmm trippy on KDE Running On A GameCube · · Score: 3, Funny

    maybe it's just me but I like the fist picture better, or maybe it's just the mushrooms talkin

  7. I HATE decisions on Microsoft Bringing TV to Xbox · · Score: 1

    hmmmm should I pay $X for microsofts PRV adapter and media player for the xbox and deal with whatever DRM they through in, or just flash the TSOP and upload XBMC to my xbox. Oh well I guess that wasn't to hard a decision after all.

  8. Alternative Browsers? on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 1

    So this works in alternative browsers huh? What about say wget? or lynx? I for one would like to see the DRM they've come up with that prevents me from copying out of a terminal window, or even better yet couldn't be automated wiht a little sed/awk/lynx -dump action

  9. Re:Cable Companies and Bandwidth Abuse? on TiVo and Netflix Hook Up · · Score: 1

    Comcast's Magic number isn't necessarily aound 100G a month, it depnends where you live. I pull down ~250-300G per month and haven't recieved a letter since RCN started competeing with comcast in my area ( I did recieve one before they did though)
