  1. Re:Perl Is way better on Is Perl Better Than a Randomly Generated Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    It's like you just combined every Perl apology I've ever read into one place. ;-)

  2. Re:Hallelujah! on Justice Dept. Files Antitrust Complaint Against AT&T and T-Mobile Merger · · Score: 1

    I think what you meant to say was, "At last the DOJ does SOMETHING on the merger front."

  3. Linked article is plagiarism on Windows 7 Has Lots of "God Modes" · · Score: 5, Informative

    The author stole his text from a CNET article by Ina Fried. Update the link to point to the original article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10426627-56.html

  4. Re:Microsoft Security Essentials... on Microsoft Security Essentials Released; Rivals Mock It · · Score: 1

    If the Windows software you need is storing your data on the Windows VM, it really doesn't matter if it's running on your hardware or not. Assuming you subscribe to the belief that it's difficult to secure Windows, you would still stand to have your data compromised.

  5. Re:.006 micrograms? on Up To 90 Percent of US Money Has Traces of Cocaine · · Score: 1

    There's that and the fact that only 234 bills were tested. All from major cities? That's a horrible sample size. Based on that, the numbers appear to be grossly inflated to me.

  6. Re:And the "!" in the 8 to 1 is... on Middle-School Strip Search Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Seems like Thomas has a history of limiting the Fourth Amendment.

  7. Re:ATM != desktop computer on Cybercriminals Refine ATM Data-Sniffing Software · · Score: 1

    An ATM is not a desktop computer.

    That's not completely true. For at least the last 10 years, most ATMs have been x86 boxes running OS/2 or Windows 2K/XP.

  8. Pretty simple answer... on How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups? · · Score: 1

    Don't treat your backup/disaster recovery systems as any less critical than your production ones. I didn't find out anything about how their "backup" system worked from the forum post, can't think of a good reason to not lock things in both places or technical hurdle that would make it overly difficult to do.

  9. Re:More options are always better! on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    "The Open Source world needs to grow the fuck up."

    Right, because no closed source development team would have an argument over a seemingly mundane UI issue. *eye roll*

  10. Re:Is it faster? on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Beta 3 has one new feature that I've been waiting years for - you can now type shortcuts in the location bar to reference installed search engines.

    This has been in Firefox for quite some time. I use the feature on a daily basis in Firefox 2 right now. To create a shortcut to Google, bookmark the url "http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" and set the keyword to g in the Bookmark Properties.

  11. Re:Creates a good "I've been hacked" defense on The Story of the Pedophile-catching Hacker · · Score: 1, Informative

    Seriously, read the article. These people were actively molesting children and taking pictures of themselves while doing it. The pictures were turned over to the authorities.

  12. Re:Woz and Jobs on I, Woz · · Score: 1

    I would argue that the concept of Free Software made more impact in the computing world than the Apple I & II.

    That's a poor comparison. If we're talking about ideologies, then I would still maintain that the personal computer revolution had more of an impact on society as a whole than the free software movement.

  13. Re:Woz and Jobs on I, Woz · · Score: 1

    I would argue that the Apple I & II made a larger impact on the computing world than emacs. :P
