  1. Original on Voltron Headed For The Big Screen · · Score: 4, Funny

    My god, I can't believed that I found the PowerRangers original when they came out... It's the "same" thing as Voltron!

  2. Re:math question on Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because the summary isn't right.

    They used 18 test cases, Watchguard got only one : 1/18 = 5.55%, rounded = 6%

    All from the spreadsheet available at http://virus.untangle.com/

  3. Re:Odd numbers. on Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well examining the Excel sheet here http://virus.untangle.com/, they used 18 test cases, so they got 5.6% for Watchguard

    The summary was wrong, it's either 18 test case or 35 test case, depending of the section you're looking at...

  4. Re:Bogus question. on Federal Agents Raid Homes for Modchips · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well let's say you bought a game and make a copy of it for backup. One day you lose the original so you want to use your legitimate backup, for that you need a mod-chip.
    Your backup is "legal" since you bought the game and made a copy only for yourself, but you need something "illegal" (ie. the mod-chip) to play it.

    Could the use of a Mod-chip only for legitimate backup be legal ? If so how do you tell if it's a legitimate backup ?

  11. Re:So basically they made a loss? on Who Needs a Satellite Dish When You Have a Wok? · · Score: 1
    The article says that they first made the wok antenna for themselves, to be able to connect their computers together :

  12. Re:just got it working on Wii's Opera Browser Now Downloadable · · Score: 1

    Also tried it, it's relatively fast, faster than dial up at least

    Things i noticed :
    - When you type in a password field, you see every characters, not stars or dots...
    It's kind of annoying when you want to check your e-mail with other people around.

    - When i tried slashdot.org it brought me to a search page (a bad one, it didn't have slashdot), i had to type WWW.slashdot.org do get to it.

    - You can't set your own start page

    - It's very small on a 27" TV, i always have to zoom in to read.

    Appart from those points i found navigation quite easy and fast.

    [...] he was stunned how fast the log of probes filled up. He'd never used a firewall before on his old XP machine.
    [...] it just seems like no government is interested in doing anything about it.

    You have your answer in your post: the majority of people don't know about it, so why would the governement bother doing something about it if it won't give them something back. People would prefer seeing the government use that money on a problem that they know, not on some obscure internet thing appening.
