  4. If they did it then it isn't illegal on Amazon.com To Accept Game Trade-Ins · · Score: 1

    If they didn't sell the game then it is impossible for you to sell the game.

    Examples:
    If what you are doing is called "buying a license" then you are selling the license.

    If they say you are borrowing it for your use for a fee, then you are loaning it for someone else's use for a fee.

    No matter how they phrase it what they are doing is what you are doing. If the EULA specifies that by you doing what they did is illegal then they should be arrested/fined/sued for doing it first.

  5. use what you know on Best Solution For HA and Network Load Balancing? · · Score: 1

    If you find the documentation for windows easier then use windows.

    Reading about Windows 2003 Clustering makes the whole process sounds easy, while Linux and FreeBSD just seem overly complicated. But is this truly the case?

    didn't Firefly & Serenity have great DVD sales as well

    I cant find the reuters article that backs that up but in 2007 it was in the top 10 for a long time.

  9. Re:Faux: canceling the shows you love on Billy West Says Futurama Might Return To Fox For 6th Season · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more like the people that go out and find good content line it up. Then it runs until the p.o.s. that owns the network watches enough of it to see it doesn't impose his world view on others then cans it but I like your version too.

    That would be bad ass for a torrent based backup restore idea I had. Thanks whitefox.

  11. Re:underground network on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: 1

    interesting idea but I wonder how many loops you would end up creating. ie. blocking traffic instead of "freeing" it.

  12. cool device on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: 1

    This is close to the way I'm expecting the cell processor to become popular. I'd prefer two nics instead of usb but with a usb nic you could put together a cheap linux firewall with it.

  15. Re:Oh great(!) on Gnome, KDE, LXDE, IceWM All Working On Android · · Score: 1

    That is so short minded and untrue. There are tiny builds of X. Like um... tiny-x. There is a plethora of libraries that can be used to make low resource applications. Who says a window manager HAS to have a tool bar at top and at bottom. Who says it has to have a "Click the bottom left of your screen to see a list of apps" crap windows users think defines a desktop. Think outside of the windows box.

    This as a chance to keep your data AND APPLICATIONS on one device.

    * guievict - a system for checkpointing and migrating the GUI of an X window application
    * the lbxproxy tool, which allows disconnecting and reconnecting[1]

  16. Sync is overrated and vnc suxdx on Gnome, KDE, LXDE, IceWM All Working On Android · · Score: 1

    I think the best part of this isn't using a window manager on your phone. The best part is running applications on your phone from another machine or thin client. You carry your phone around and do your email and PIM type stuff. Then, you get home and ssh -X in from your machine and start your email/web/whatever application. Boom! its up on your local machine. No "sync". No muss. No fuss.

  17. Re:Which is why they have other ways to measure yo on Is Flash Really On 99% of Net Devices? · · Score: 1

    Why would they make it complicated. It is better for them to show the browser is capable of playing ads numbers.

  18. Re:Ask Google/Yahoo/Baidu on Is Flash Really On 99% of Net Devices? · · Score: 1

    Flashblock is mandatory on machines at work and on the majority of our business clients networks. The odds are good that the majority of security minded large corporations do the same. I wouldn't be shocked if the number of browsers that accept the flash download but never display it is in the millions.

  19. Re:What ever happened to SSL and port 465? on Verizon.net Finally Moving Email To Port 587 · · Score: 0

    Agreed. Port 465 traffic is the standard port for smtps and should be the ONLY port an email client should be sending email. If anyone believes a cable modem's traffic can't be sniffed for plain text smtp authentication they need to share that good dope with a hippy.

    Ah the new and improved Windows DoS. Design a page to drop a binary that does absolutely nothing but create pid's on system boot and p00f. First person to design the 1 bit binary to brick a 1,000,000 systems wins!

    So that settles that. Microsoft is clearly using this to "teach" vendors not to use background process' and preloaders. It goes perfectly with torturing users with "Do you want to allow this" popups to "teach" vendors to write applications to run in user space.
