  1. Am I missing something? on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, I could play wmv's on both MacOS and FreeBSD/Linux (mplayer). Have the tools that do this gone away now?

  2. Re:What privacy issue? on Dispute Continues Over Posthumous Yahoo! Mail · · Score: 1

    Exactly.
    I see no reason that email, or any other electronic communications, accounts, blogs, etc, would not become a part of the deceased estate, and be treated just as anything else. How is this different than a regular mail box? Or a lockbox, or a P.O. box, or that safe hidden behind Aunt Erma's picture? It's not. Unless it was specifically willed otherwise, it should be a part of the estate and dealt with appropriately.

  3. Re:1.0 right now on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It doesn't crash. It simply disables extensions that are not compatible.
    You're still thinking in Microsoft terms.

  4. Re:Do you really watch fox news? on Third-Party and Independent Ballot Status · · Score: 2, Insightful

    eh? You just proved his point for him. How do you call that flat out wrong?
    292 vs. 15,000?

    Even worse,
    Badnarik on foxnews.com
    6, yes 6 damned hits.

    Kerry has 5,000 hits.

    I think it's more than obvious Fox does not care to cover the other candidates much.
    So lets recap here.
    Bush=15000
    Kerry=5000
    Nader=292
    Badnarik =6

    You're right, that's not biased in the least, is it?

  6. Re:easy workaround on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 1, Informative

    So if these bytes are ignored, what happens if somebody inserts a trojan at that spot? The MD5 is already ignoring it, so no one would have any clue.

  7. Re:Yes, but who's fault is it? Not MS'! on Shattering Windows · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Log onto your w2k box as "guest". Open the "computer management" window. Go down to users and attempt to add a new one. The dialog opens up. Yes, even guests can at least open the dialog. This dialog runs as system. I can use this exploit now. Thank you.

  8. Re:Please clarify on ATT Raises Prices for Cable Modem Owners · · Score: 1

    I strictly use a cell at my home. Have not had a land line for over a year. (sure cuts down on the telemarketers!) I use Voicestream as my carrier, so for about $40 a month I get 1500 weekday minutes and free nights/weekends, free long distance. I'm on the thing constantly and have yet to go over on this plan. So it's definitely worked out better for me.
    Of course I'm still using ATT for my broadband, but it's alright. Cheaper than the DSL's around here.

  9. Fuck 'em. on Fair Compensation For Non-Compete Clauses? · · Score: 1

    Basically, if you're 1) dumb enough to sign a non-compete contract, and 2) crazy enough to actually abide by it, they don't have to compensate you, they've already bent you over and greased your ass.
    But really... what can your EX-company do? Get a court order saying you have to quit your current job or else? Have any of you ever met someone who was forced out of a job because of a previous employers contract?

  10. Re:intels biggest screwup on Top Ten Intel Slipups · · Score: 1

    not bad considering [snip] all i had to replace during that time was the mboard, cpu and ram So basically, you bought an entire new computer. And your whole point of staying with socket7 was what...?

  11. Re:Slashdot Icon?? on Judge: eBay Not Liable For Bootleg Recordings · · Score: 1

    Obviosly, it's "We The People..." The script used is just slightly ambiguous.
