  1. Re: Opt out if you're worried on Google Using DoubleClick Tracking Cookies · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's why Google is going out of business.... err wait. Quite frankly I don't mind ads and I won't block them. If I don't enjoy or trst the content I simply don't click the ads. If I do trust the content I will -consider- clicking an ad, but am only likely to if I'm actually considering purchasing a product.

  2. Re:Awwww. Poor Babies.... on USAF Enlists Shrinks To Help Drone Pilots Cope · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The "murder" is chosen by the president - why do you wish this emotional suffering upon the soldiers? We need soldiers and military for morally-just wars, too. Do you want someone traumatized or someone trained to handle their job defending you? Even if you are not from America your freedom was likely saved by them in WW1 or WW2. Unfortunately, the elections were stolen in 2004 and this (the Iraq war) is what we get.

    Killing something the first time probably has much more effect that doing it on an ongoing basis or even as an adult... By watching something else die you realize your own mortality.

    Screw the OS... write in PHP and charge the business to store and secure their information on your own web servers. Profitable and platform independent. :)

    I've been reading 'Warcraft' this entire thread - it's been a few.. hours.. and it's calling me. This time -again-... I read World of Warcraft. Thanks so much

    Everyone needs gold. There will always be grinding and farming. Automation of the human side should be outlawed - even your keyboard. I'm thinking a bayesian filter to know if the keystrokes are ACTUALLY you. Yes, it's impossible to stop.

    What part of the middle east are you from?

  9. Re:Easy Fix on MPAA Plans To Launch Movie Links Site · · Score: 1

    Agreed.. In fact, I don't even download illegally because the quality sucks. I use a Netflix-like service and I'm happy to pay for it. If DVDs were $5-$10 each a few months after release I'd probably buy a lot of them. $5 makes sense to me - I might only watch each movie a total of 5 times the first few years and maybe once a year, if that, after that. As it is, buying DVDs is far too rich for my blood.

    What if you one doesn't drive a car oneself? I would prefer that you do not drive yours so I don't have to inhale it's exhaust fumes, thanks... Too bad that will never happen.

  19. Re:There is no cleaning a rootkit on NSA Takes On West Point In Security Exercise · · Score: 1

    How hard can it be to secure a system -for real-? They could have done it with the right tools. Spybot S&D has a nice resident malware scanner and system settings change monitor. Combine that with an in and outgoing firewall program and a few other tools (alert with parent process id every time a file is written?) and you should be able to trace every last bit of a trojan.

    If we keep harnessing wind power, won't we run out of wind? The same thing goes for water power. Could we kill our atmosphere? I think solar power is the most sustainable... but then again if we block all the rays the earth could cool down.... we're doomed!!
