  1. New Meaning on FairUse4WM Breaks Windows DRM · · Score: 1

    DRM=Draconian Rights Management, Down Right Mean, Don't Reuse Music, Don't Record Music, Delete Rights to Music, Digitally Restricted Music, Damn Rippoff Music, Damned Retarded Media.

    Digital Rights, who's rights, Oh yes we have none. Go Pirate Bay!!!

  2. Sweet and Simple on Storage System for Thousands of CDs and DVDs? · · Score: 1
  3. Dell Bios on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    On a serious note, how will anyone reset the NVRAM in a Dell Bios without the caps lock key? Why can't we have choices on Keyboards anyway? I think I will start a new business, Custom Keyboards Inc. Don't want that key(s) on your custom keyboard, no problem! Too late.... http://www.fentek-ind.com/keyboard.htm

  4. I need it on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 5, Funny

    What? Get rid of it? How will I make posts on EBay and Craigslist? ;-)

    Those who sacrifice privacy (constitutional rights) for saftey DESERVE NEITHER.

  6. Very effective on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 1
  7. Sux Max on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    Stopped using Symantec starting in 2003, just bloatware.MacAfee is even worse..

  8. Tiny XP on What Processes are Necessary for Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    Tiny XP words from the hacker himself, can be found on bittorent, second edition is out. "Thank you for you interest in this stripped out (112Mb) Edition of XP. I clocked mine in Task Manager using only 39.5Mb of RAM. Windows XP usually uses 300Mb of RAM at the very least. This "TinyXP" not only runs fast, but takes up only 400Mb total space on your system hard drive. Thats the "WINDOWS" folder, "Documents and settings" and "Program Files" By using only 40Mb of RAM, this allows your PC to run fast, I mean VERY fast! All important hardware drivers and other essentials have been kept in this release - You have joystick support, printer support and other bare essentials. "Microsoft SideWinder" support has been left in. NOTE: You cannot use Microsoft Office with this tiny edition of Windows XP. You still have one Microsoft application left in Windows - MS Paint. The Calculator is gone, as is Wordpad. GONE is that nasty Internet Explorer, it does not exist in this Edition! Whats nice about this TinyXP is this... When this XP has installed, (the install takes just six minutes) you will have a link on the "Start Menu" under "Programs" to a standalone internet browser that takes up only 358Kb on the CD... This "OffByOne" browser is a great space saving alternative to the usual browsers everyone uses. Because WinRAR is also installed with this TinyXP, it is easy to click the browser shortcut in the "Start Menu" and simply drag the file "OB1.exe" out of WinRAR and to any directory you choose. This really is a "standalone" internet browser, would work even on Windows 95 and possibly as far back as Windows 3.11. This browser does not require I.E. or any of the DLL or OCX files I.E. would be using. Hats off to OffByOne! Also included is a standalone BitTorrent client, uTorrent. This tiny BT client is only 105Kb! All the programs included use "nearly zero" resources. Windows Media Player is NOT included at all in this install. You will have to grab some kind of player from somewhere if you want to play movies and audio files. To play WMV or WMA files you will probably have to install some version of the proper "Windows Media Player". It is OK in most cases to then uninstall it and it will leave behind those essential files that were missing, neat trick, but hey we don't want this crap on our system! Things like this just slow it down! GONE also are all Windows noises like startup and shutdown noises, but audio DOES work. You cannot use Microsoft Office, but you DO have support if you want to install a printer... you can see below what devices are supported in TinyXP. This XP Pro SP2 Unattended is so tiny at just 112Mb"

  9. VMM's can be detected on Microsoft Research Warn About VM-Based Rootkits · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here is how you detect any VMM on linux or Windows,no such thing as undetectable if you know how to find it. http://www.trapkit.de/research/vmm/scoopydoo/scoop y_doo.htm

  10. Re:A different question remains. on Intel Stands Up For Consumers in Next-gen DVD War · · Score: 1

    Your not getting old, your getting it right, they are peddling nothing but garbage..
