  1. Re:hrmm on Work Around for New DVD Format Protections · · Score: 0

    not to mention syncing the audio!

  2. Re:Suggested name for the next line of processors: on Intel Names Upcoming Chips · · Score: 1, Funny

    I was thinking more Apple Core 2.

  3. Re:Ack... Global Dimming on Cleaner Air Adds To Global Warming · · Score: 0

    There was a study done (don't remember by who) on the concept of global dimming a few years ago. They have been measuring the amount of sunlight that hits the ground, and they compared those measurements to the amount of sunlight that hit the ground on the week or so that airplanes were grounded after 9/11. The planes being grounded reduced the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, resulting in a marked increase in the sunlight hitting the earths surface... Pollution actually reduces the amount of global warming by causing global dimming. I think that the earth is supposed to be a much brighter place, er.. maybe smarter is a better word.

  4. Re:Screenshots from article on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 0

    Funny - the only screenshot I get using Internet Explorer 7 is:

    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

          Most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.

          What you can try:
          Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
          Retype the address.
          Go back to the previous page.
            More information

  5. No way will my Grandma will be hip to this... on Keystroke Logging Increases · · Score: 0

    Do you really think that the non-geek members of your family will actually bother to boot to a CD and use a completely unfamiliar Os and web browser??

    My Grandma probably hasn't even rebooted her computer in months... Let alone run critical updates or checked her Antivirus!

  6. ...Working Lightsabers on Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical · · Score: 1, Funny

    Did you guys catch this line?

    "Ciborowski, who wields a working light saber, is most enthusiastic about the choreographed fight scenes. "They rock!" he said. A veteran performer of three dozen musicals over the past 10 years, he described "SWT: ME" as "the funniest show I have ever been in."

    They develop WORKING lightsabers at MIT and the only use that they could come up with was a musical. sheesh.

  7. Clicking Printed Hyperlinks?!! on Printing Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    Once they solve the "Clicking Hyperlinks in Print Form" problem I'm sure that this will be an amazing success! The scroll bar in print form would be nice, also.

  8. Lower power, but cooler? on Power-Light Power Chips · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I wonder if it will run cooler. TFA doesn't say.

  9. BES on Palm and RIM to Collaborate on Treo Software · · Score: 0

    It will be especially cool if the Trio will connect to a Blackberry Enterprise Server. I installed one a month or so ago and it's great. We use the Groupwise version. It was a really easy install, and the features are awesome. Live, wireless connection to Email, Contacts, Calendar. Also, no need to EVER tether the device. All sync is done wireless.

  10. Quick - Get Al Gore on the phone... on EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month · · Score: 1, Funny

    After all, he invented the Internet, I'll bet that he can keep it working!

  11. If that's the case... on Internet Power Struggle Reaching Climax · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... I'm going back to running a Wildcat BBS on a USR Courier 14.4 modem & a 386... who wants a login?

  12. Graffiti... & SmartPhone... on Palm's Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I loved Graffiti. Once I learned it with my thumb it was awesome. I has the Kerosera smartphone (the original BW one). I really liked the interface, I liked the fact that it synced with Outlook. The only downside was the size, but 5 years ago what do you expect.

    Now I use a Blackberry at work and I just installed the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) for Groupwise. It's pretty damn cool, I never have to teather the device, it syncs wirelessly. I don't even have Blackberry software installed on my local workstation.

  13. Waiting for the crack in ... 10, 9, 8, on Record Labels Release Software To Combat Piracy · · Score: 1

    Any bets on how long the program will remain uncracked?

    I'm guessing that you guys have more than 1 computer in the house, or else it would be WAR!!

  16. Me, too.. I have done some of this work.. on File System Forensic Analysis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's really profitable... I was charging $200 an hour. Spent a ton of time digging around on a bunch of CDs, a hard drive and thru a couple of email inboxes. Plus my client had a key logger.

    cool stuff.

    Who says that the FBI hires good people... retard.

  18. Wow on Zotob and Mytob Worm Authors Arrested · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    that was really fast! - I'll bet that they have jobs hacking for the FBI in about 2 weeks.

  19. Duh, It takes 2 to Tango... on Mambo CMS Dev Team Splits · · Score: 1

    So you can't expect them to Mambo with only 1.

  20. .XXX - It's not just for Porn! on Top Level .xxx Domain Concept Under Scrutiny · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think that I'll register www.MoonShine.xxx and sell stills, big glass jugs, copper tubing and straw hats. Maybe even coveralls!

  21. When they upgrade the laptops at work on When Should You Buy Your Kid A Laptop? · · Score: 1

    and IS gets the 1st shot at buying the old ones! (Or when 1 breaks and can be easily fixed at home with a little JB Weld)

    Vladimir "Pottie Poot" Putin quoted "I was originally against the idea, but George is paying us a shitload of cash"

  23. Duh, The story was posted from a MS box... on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes things get monkeyed up, you know, buggy software.
    - what is suprising is that the mistake placed it in the Apple side of /. Usually a Microsoft bug works in Bill's favor.

  24. Is that like Cosmic Rays? on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1

    It worked for the Fantastic Four.
    - what's the problem.

  25. Re:Guess I'll be signing up on Yahoo to Launch Blog Ad Network · · Score: 1

    Not me. I get over 15000 hits a day on my site. All of the goofy ad providers I've tried )AdSense included) haven't paid out a single cent. It's a total waste of page space and time.

    - though I think that I'll keep the ads for www.tshirthell.com up, they make me laugh. (What Would Jesus Do... for a klondike bar?)
