    HP instead.?

    Same bird, different yolk.
    Hp is known also to guard their ink rights.

    Run, don't walk. Forget ink anyways. Goto laser.

    Stop spreading FUD against cats. You can get toxoplasmosis by eating raw meat or fresh feces, not just infected cat's, but any mammal's.

    It may take awhile for a parasite to
    propagate to humans by eating feces.
    That's just sick.

  4. John Lovitt and Gary Coleman on USB-Powered Linux Server Fits in Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    I can think of better ways to market this thing,
    a movie is not one of them.

    Give me specs, not a cheezy, 'z' grade movie.

    Damn, I watched the whole thing and cant get those
    minutes back.

    Crap Crap, Now i go away.

  6. Slashdotting and mirrors on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Now that his site is down, we resort to mirrors
    perhaps slashdot could host some of the
    mirrors and prevent this from happening?

    I hope he doesn't pay by the gb :O

  7. Re:Warning, urban legend stuff! on Scientists Solve Riddle of Unpopped Popcorn · · Score: 1

    if its placed in clean plastic bags, you could eat
    it afterwards.

    Some packers use bags of air to pack with,
    if one used popcorn instead of air you would
    have a good packing material and a snack.

  8. How about cutting 10 pennies in half.... on Hard Drive Cooling for 10 Cents · · Score: 1

    and gluing them on with superglue and thermal
    grease?

    Or finding a scrap piece of metal in the garbage
    or on the street and making a heatsink?

    I know some old microwaves would help cooling in
    a cinch, but would they compromise the magnetic
    field too?

    In otherwords don't be stupid and just randomly enter your password in sites asking for "updates"...

    For some phishes, I take the time to login with fake
    id's and passwords making sure to insult the scumsucking bastards.
    Then I do a network lookup on them and try to
    email the corresponding isp. Very easy to do
    and protects others.

    Vigalantism at its best! Everyone do the same.

  10. Ebay Idiocy on eBay Scrambles to Fix Phishing Bug · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I was sent an e-mail from ebay:

    PASSWORD POLL

    When I create a password for any of my online
    accounts, I use:
    let me check, it's written beside my computer
    a combination of upper & lower case letters and numbers
    the same password for all my accounts
    the name of my child/pet/spouse/secret crush
    some variation on my name or user ID
    a random word from the dictionary
    123456 or abcdef
    the word "password"

    After contacting Customer Support I was
    informed that it was legit. !!!!

    I tried numerous times to point this out but
    Customer service with ebay can sometimes be a
    struggle. I take it they assume everybody is
    an idiot.
    Even Ebay Phishes. Go figure.
