  1. Re:Sup? on Inside Australia's Data Retention Proposal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From what I understand, the parties in Australia are so evenly split that in order to win votes, they have to appeal to the christian right, and is doing so with a "somebody think of the children" approach.

  2. Re:I haven't used DIVX in years on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    No hardware acceleration for OS X, either. And the beta plugin still sucks pretty hard.

  3. Re:The Onus Should Not Be on the Nerds on The US Economy Needs More "Cool" Nerds · · Score: 1

    The team is always the problem, unless you're an Arkansas fan. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4583642

  4. Re:So it's down to.... on Wind Farms Can Interfere With Doppler Radar · · Score: 1

    I think it would make much more sense to redesign the tornado. There's so much wind energy there waiting to be harnessed!

    Posted February 23rd. Get with the times, /.

  6. Re:The US needs a modern system on Voting Machines and 'Calibration Drift' · · Score: 1

    Is it really necessary to post the same thing four times under one topic? Sounds like someone's Karma-whoring.

  7. Re:A quick peek at the picutres says a lot on Google Reveals "Secret" Server Designs · · Score: 1

    If you look closely at the pictures, (or RTFA), you'll see that the power supplies are indeed custom, or at least parts that I've never seen on store shelves before. Same with the motherboards, they're made to only take 12V power and do the 12V>5V conversion on the board.

  8. Re:Upgrading on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: 1

    It DOES have that little Apple logo on it.

  9. I suppose they're helping.. Kinda? on Symantec Support Gone Rogue? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As a general rule when working with badly infected systems, the only guaranteed way to get it working again is to nuke and reinstall. Symantec is, I suppose, doing them a service by trying to help, but if a system is too far gone to allow Norton to be installed, it's most likely too far gone to save. Every client of mine that insists on going through the motions about not wanting to pay for a data backup or to get all of their programs reinstalled signs a waiver that states that I offer no warranty on the system or any of the work done on it. Surprisingly enough, most of the systems I get that are so bad that they require a nuke and reinstall were running Norton to begin with.

  10. Re:Very tempted to get this on Amazon Announces Kindle 2, With Slew of New Features · · Score: 1

    Or at that speed, you could just read them.. There's $350 saved!

  11. Are these images really necessary? on Scientists Discover Cows Point North · · Score: 1

    Oh look! A picture of a cow! Golly, I almost forgot what they are, thanks for reminding me, Slashdot. Here, just in case somebody needs it, Taco should edit this into the OP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle . Oh, and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North . And just in case anybody gets lost, you are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet .

  12. Re:That whole story is a myth on Microsoft's Most Successful Failure · · Score: 1

    If you don't have a virus checker how do you know the system is clean?

    What the hell does that mean? /\/\/\
