  1. Re:Keepass on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Ok then, I also have android and the port is down for that. Can anyone tell me if keepass will auto sync so I don't have to use any passwords? Lastpass type solution would be great but then again, looking for a free solution and probably open source is the best way.

  2. Re:Another Viewpoint on Film Studios May Block DVD Rentals For One Month · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Disney's attitude toward digital media has changed a lot for the better since Eisner fucked off out and Steve Jobs became Disneys biggest shareholder after the pixar purchase. ;-)

    I seriously hate this crowd, When I was to post something about why doesn't Jobs do something at Disney about DRM, I get modded down for him only owning 7% and has no say in the companies activities. However, when someone tries to put this to Job's name, everyone mods it up as fast as possible. Surely it can't be both ways?

  3. Re:What happens in a traffic jam? on Ultracapacitor Bus Recharges At Each Stop · · Score: 1

    IANAE (Engineer) but why couldn't you essentially load several capacitors up and have then dissipate energy in succession? I have no idea how much they cost or the practicality of it.

  4. Re:Who exactly are the going to be blocking? on Microsoft Blocks Pirates From Security Essentials Software · · Score: 1

    Translated article: MSE will use WGA checks in order to verify it is a legit copy. If you can bypass WGA or crack it this will not effect you.

  5. Mac Pro Cheaper? on SGI Rolls Out "Personal Supercomputers" · · Score: 1

    Hell, a Mac Pro is even cheaper with 8 cores. Who in their right mind is going to spend $8000 for a single core pc?

  6. Re:There Really Are Some Gems in This Article on Exploring the Current State of Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    I remember watching a video of the making of Halo 3. Microsoft used a new studio only for beta testing. They used input down to where players were being held up on the missions (can't find where to go to next). They had several instances of issues that I would have never thought about during development. I frequently get held up in games about where to go next but I figured I just wasn't paying attention.

  7. Re:Just use MPEG4 / H264 on Adobe Pushing For Flash TVs · · Score: 1

    I remember reading my Pioneer Kudos Manual with it listing several open source libraries to read movies and pictures. It even had the GPL within it.

  8. Re:What was that? on Time Warner Broadband Cap Trial Rescheduled In Texas · · Score: 1

    Yes and as I have pointed out before will still be capped!

  9. Re:Rochester on Time Warner Broadband Cap Trial Rescheduled In Texas · · Score: 1

    As another Time Warner customer in Rochester it has already been discovered that Time Warner will also cap Earthlink consumers. That leaves LocalNet which I have really never heard of and the choices you described. So basically we are screwed. Please support Eric Massa!!

    No big deal anyway Amazon US just followed suit Here

  12. Re:This is amazing... on Time Warner Expanding Internet Transfer Caps To New Markets · · Score: 1

    I don't want to be that guy, but Clearwire advertises a lot here also. Then again you do have to be within their coverage area.

  13. Re:Only 40Gb/month? on Time Warner Expanding Internet Transfer Caps To New Markets · · Score: 1

    Didn't they recently split those companies? Anyway I always said as long as they don't bring it here. I am in Rochester and I have not noticed any of this. Does it only apply to new customers?

  14. Re:Please develop Android apps instead on iPhone App Refund Policies Could Cost Devs · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the downside here (and several other locations) is that At&t and Verizon are the only providers and you can not become a subscriber to T-Mobile or other carriers do to them not covering the area. Just a little background: Both carriers here offer their 3g services and the closest T-Mobile is 2 1/2 hours away. Unless anyone knows a way around this I will ditch Verizon.

  15. Re:Well, well. on FTC Warns Against Deceptive DRM · · Score: 1

    I thought Sarbanes-Oxley actually deals with this. Company officers can no longer claim they didn't know.

    they covering up by keeping all of this secret?

  17. Re:Once again... BFD on Confusion Reigns As Analog TV Begins Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Maybe I stated that wrong, I only really started noticing them cause they got annoying. You still saw that national advertising but that confused people already. The commercials were local ones.

  18. Re:Once again... BFD on Confusion Reigns As Analog TV Begins Shutdown · · Score: 1

    The TV stations in my area started broadcast for only the last 2 weeks that the station was going down. They made the announcements annoying but they should have initiated this weeks ago. And now they are off the analog air, feel sorry for the people who still don't understand it.

  21. Re:Delete it & forget about it on Tricked Into Buying OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1

    This is also the case in New York State with people sending you something and request for you to pay for it. (Think Magazines!)

  22. Re:Very simple.... on Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    AAFD (As A Funeral Director) people hardly ever think about this kind of thing after people pass away, and often do not even know where the USB or other files are. I know one family that is still receiving packages from people they never heard of due to business contacts and just redirect to sender. I think the best is to just let the world figure it out on their own.

  24. Re:Transparency on Obama's Mobile Phone Records Compromised, Shared · · Score: 1

    I know a few "people" that work at At&t and Verizon shops. They constantly dig through records of friends, lovers, etc. I have contacted both companies on several occasions to report them but to no luck. Maybe something will finally get done about this. Some sort of approval process before they are able to just surf through these records.

  25. Re:Im sure.. on Microsoft Quietly Previews PC Advisor Repair Tool · · Score: 1

    They do it's just the fact they recommend drivers for non-existent hardware, and non-updated drivers (even previous versions than installed).
