  1. Re:New Name for Windows Explorer on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    "You can literally, cruise the vista!" - Red Foreman

  2. Re:firefox is kinda worthless lately on Don't Click on the Blue E · · Score: 1

    I would suggest installing PrefBar, just so you can easily turn off Flash and Java (you do have to Customize it to add the Java button to the bar). This would let you see if it's a Java/Flash problem that others seem to think it's related to.

  3. Re:About to install XP... help antivirus! on The 12-minute Windows Heist · · Score: 1

    AVG Antivirus ( http://www.grisoft.com/ ) is another good, but free, antivirus program.

    Really, it doesn't matter so much what antivirus software you use, so long as they update it regularly, and you update it regularly as well (if it doesn't automatically do this).

    Combine that with using Firefox/Mozilla, a firewall, and you're good-to-go.

    Also, it can't hurt to get both Spybot Search & Destroy, and Adaware. Definitely get these two if you're going to be using IE at all.

  4. Re:"It's coming back!" on Greatest Beams In Movie History · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it a razor-wire grid in Cube?

  5. Re:They still don't get it on Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, but this would be admitting directly that they were wrong, and they krunked it up. This way, they're just saying "oh, the timing was off."

    It would be like Lucas admitting he did a shitty job with Episode I and II, they're too much on their high-horse to admit such a thing. It's always the fans' fault, or a marketing/deployment fault, or anyone's fault other than their own.

  6. Re:Hmm... makes sense to me! on Major Aussie ISP Disconnecting Trojaned PCs · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstood his cake analogy. He was using that against their idea to add more nightly DNS servers, implying that it's a temporary [and somewhat ineffective] fix to the symptom, instead of trying to address the cause.

  7. Re:For those to lazy to read the blog on Firefox Improves Pop-Up Ad Blocking · · Score: 2, Informative

    Prefbar has a "Kill Flash" button, as well as allowing you to turn flash on and off in general.

  8. Re:Other uses? on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 1

    Well hopefully you're not using the same ball for security that your child plays with either. :)

  9. Re:What else to say ? on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 2, Funny

    That man really knew where his towel was at.

  10. Re:But...... on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    In that case, you'll have to use the honour-system, and manually delete some stuff, and maybe write some arbitrary files.

    Thanks in advance.

  11. Re:Why is everything an iPod killer? on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 1

    but a difference of a gig (even though it's 25% larger) won't make or break a sale for most people

    They should have made the volume go up to 11, so iRiver owners could say "it's one louder!"

  12. Re:Hidden Image or Subliminal Ad? on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses · · Score: 1

    I could never get those to work. Can someone take a screenshot? :)

  13. Re:China needs to join the ISS on China Plans 5-day Manned Space Mission · · Score: 1

    Plus, they're not exactly concerned if, y'know, their guys make it all the way back.

  14. Eh. on Australia Vulnerable to Korean Hacking Army · · Score: 1

    Not such a big deal...
    I mean, it's mostly outback anyway, right?

  15. Re:Grammar Nazi on William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series · · Score: 1

    I think you meant to say "Kirk wioll haven be born in Iowa, not Shatner"

    Well, you see Star Trek was a STORY written in the past and NOT REAL, therefore he won't actually be born.

  16. Re:Evil Dead: The Musical on The Last Starfighter--The Musical! · · Score: 2

    Slashcode appears to have stripped my link:

    http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/

  17. Evil Dead: The Musical on The Last Starfighter--The Musical! · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought I would take this moment to mention a play that was here in Toronto last year called Evil Dead: The Musical.

    I am not one for musicals. But this was godamn funny. With such musical numbers as What The Fuck Was That? and (All Of The Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By) Candarian Demons, you really can't go wrong.

    I hope to see it again.

  18. Re:Awww, that's so romantic on Man Stalks Ex-girlfriend With GPS · · Score: 1

    I've got to show this to my girlfriend. She things that its bad that i hacked her hotmail and friendster accounts ;)

    I hope you're joking...that is bad.

  19. Do you use some common dummy email IDs too on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    My apologies go out to whomever actually owns blah@blah.com, I didn't think anyone would use that...

  20. Still gonna bring my laptop on Jumping From Computer To Computer · · Score: 1

    I don't wanna chance getting that computer, you know, the one with the stuck Shift key, or gum under the mouse...

  21. Re:827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b! on Online MD5 Cracking Service · · Score: 1

    I've noticed this too, but I don't find any that were the same joke as mine...of course mine's a little involved and takes the humour out of it, if you run "echo -n '12345' | md5sum" you get 827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b

  22. 827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b! on Online MD5 Cracking Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    "827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b?? That's the same combination that's on my luggage!"

  23. I want one... on China Deploys IPv9 Network · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...that goes to eleven!

    Where can you go from 9? I want one that's at least one louder.

  24. FOOLS! on Big Bang of Convergence · · Score: 5, Funny

    Doesn't anyone remember what happened last time when the Cylons attacked, and all of our computer systems were linked together?

  25. Requirements on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know what the system requirements will be for this? In particular, the video card?
