  2. Metalhead Border Agents on Homeland Security Changes Laptop Search Policy · · Score: 1

    The US Border Patrol advertises it's job openings on a local Metal radio station (Washington State). These are the people that are seizing your data.

  3. Re:Freedom to take pictures in public spaces on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    I was recently approached and asked by 3 security guards to leave the area because I pointed my dSLR in the direction of a hotel building in downtown Seattle. I was standing on the public sidewalk!

  4. confirmed on NSI Registers Every Domain Checked · · Score: 1

    I can also confirm this. If I search for a random domain availability at Network Solutions, then search the same domain again from another registrar, that domain shows up as unavailable within seconds or minutes.

  5. Doubt it. on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    Just like most of Microsoft's plans for future OS's, I doubt this one will actually come to fruition. The typical mom and pop computer user isn't going to run out and replace their good ol' 32bit system anytime soon.

    I see that nothing has changed.

    And how exactly does quoting a movie qualify as 'stealing a joke'?

  10. Uh... Bill? on Hilf Claims Free Software Movement Dead · · Score: 1

    So, wait..

    "When I talk to open source developers, at least half are talking about Windows, from SugarCRM, MySQL, PHP. Every single one"

    So which is it Bill? Half? Or Every single one?

    "Japan does not exist in 2007."

  12. Denial on Hilf Claims Free Software Movement Dead · · Score: 5, Funny

    Colonel Sandurz: Prepare ship for light speed. Dark Helmet: No, no, no. Light speed is too slow. Colonel Sandurz: Light speed is too slow? Dark Helmet: Yes. We're gonna have go right to...

Colonel Sandurz: [Wimpering] Prepair ship! [Calms down] Colonel Sandurz: Prepare ship, for Ludicrous speed. Fasten all seat belts. [everybody fastens in their seat belts and locks all of the doors] Colonel Sandurz: Seal all entrances and exits. Lock all stores in the mall. Cancel the 3-ring circus. Secure all animals in the zoo... Dark Helmet: [Takes the intercom from Sandurz] Gimme that, you petty excuse for an officer! [speaks into the intercom as Sandurz puts on his seat belt] Dark Helmet: Now hear this, Ludicrous speed... Colonel Sandurz: [Interrupts] Sir, you better buckle up. Dark Helmet: [to Sandurz] Ah, buckle this. [Into the intercom] Dark Helmet: SUPER speed, go!

    You're right. So what're we gonna do about it?

    Screw it, lets kill those war-mongering bastards!!

  19. PSB on Novell and Microsoft Claim Customer Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From the article: "PSB is a strategic communications firm that specializes in research-based recommendations for its clients. PSB has conducted research studies for Microsoft over the past 8 years." Wow, a POSITIVE survey that was commissioned by Microsoft, to the customers of Microsoft, by a company who regularly does commissioned reports for Microsoft. Who woulda thought?

  20. Re:Damnit... on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    That's easy, they're employed by Sony.

  21. RTFM on 10-Day Gentoo Installation Agony · · Score: 1

    The Gentoo documentation is extensive and very useful.. RTFM. I can do a Gentoo install in about 2-3 hours, minus Xorg.

  22. Tor speed on The Drawbacks of Anonymous Surfing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Tor concept is a great idea, and seems to work okay, but the last time I tried it, it was so slow that it was mostly unusable. Has much changed in the past 6 months or so?

  23. Site Hacked? on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    Either Nintendo's site got slashdotted, or the whole "Wii" thing was a hack/defacing in the first place, and Nintendo has brought it down for repairs. The whole name-change sounds pretty fishy to me.

  24. Proposal on Japan's New Supercomputing Toy · · Score: 1

    "The institute will ask the public to propose specific themes of research activities using the supercomputer system." Seti@Home! Duh...
