  1. Limewire strictly prohibits it! on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 5, Funny

    http://www.limewire.com/english/content/answerno.s html How can the RIAA make such claims? Limewire will NOT let you buy their product if you have malicious intent.

  2. You saw this comin',,,,, on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1

    A Beowulf Cluster of Ipod Nano's. They're so cute!

  3. Oracle on Oracle To Buy Siebel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I might be mistaken but, isn't Oracle a US company? The story makes it seem like Oracle isn't.

  4. Videolan on Open Source Streaming Media Software? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here is another good solution. This might be helpful also.

  5. Re:Failures aren't Important. on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 1

    Look at the Ipod. Not exactly groundbreaking either. The thing that makes this phone "special" is itunes. This phone, although a failure, will maybe make Apple wise up and make a phone of thier own next time. If apple makes a real ipod phone, you can bet on quality. and, they do make phones still that dont play mp3s. The PM-8200 by Sanyo (my phone) will not play mp3's (you can't even download them.)

  6. Failures aren't Important. on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Quite the contrare. Many faliures, although failures, pave the way for other things. The Apple Lisa was a failure due to price, but look at computers today.... all based on those concepts such as GUI's, icons, windows, etc. It is really hard to say if a product is a *failure* because it might lead to bigger and better things. In the middle ages, there was a process that used material and lighting to etch a pattern onto the material. such a process was said to create the Shroud of Turin by skeptics. Although it was not popular because it was a lengthy process, its general idea led to photography. this phone may lead to the next big craze.

  7. Pissed Off! on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    I'm pissed off because there is no lynx support. Now I know what Dubya means by the two internets: Ms-Internet and the rest the govmt doesnt support.

  8. Emulation on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    I find this all a bit ridiculous. This is the government! I find it cool that MSNBC reported this as well, given that it is a microsoft venture. Linux users can use IE via wine or crossover. There is also vmware. My question is: Why should people who use a non MS browser be punished?

  9. AOL Instant Messenger on New Online MD5 Hash Database · · Score: 1

    In the Windows XP registry (Start>Run>regedt32.exe), under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL InstantMesseger\CurrentVersion\Users\(screenname)\ Login, there is a config called Password1. If you have your passwords saved on the computer, a password will be there in an md5 salted hash. This site will take that hash and unsalt it. It will aslo attempt to crack it. If that fails, at least you have an md5 hash that is pure. I have always wanted to know how this site works, so if anyone wants to hit me with some knowledge, or maybe some code, I would love it.

  12. Spyware/Adware on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Considering the bar is Open Source, do you all think that malicious people can use this for bad and create adware bars based on this one?
