  1. Re:Beurk on Sun Slips Firefox Extension Into Java Update · · Score: 1

    It's using the `Windows 2000` theme, so it's 9 years old. How was Linux/Mac/OS-of-choice looking back in 2000?

  2. Re:A DRM ban clause should be added as a constitut on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Unless your firewall works at a lower level in the kernel than Microsoft's bypassing code, it won't get involved. I wouldn't put it past them to use rootkit technology for something like this...

  3. Re:Were they made by Sony? on Walmart Photo Keychain Comes Preloaded With Malware · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Technically, kernel level debuggers can be classified as rootkits, as they use rootkit techniques to gain the level of access they need to be able to work.

  4. Problem? on ICANN Proposes New Way To Buy Top-Level Domains · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Anyone want to try buying .php, or .exe, just to see what happens?

  5. Re:Loaded question on Will W3C Accept DRM For Webfonts? · · Score: 1

    Would that include SQL injection/XSS?

  6. Like the warez scene has done for years? on Amazon Rolls Out Release-Day Game Delivery · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So, Amazon have finally caught up with 0day warez. Shame most games can be obtained at -1day, or more, if you know the right websites. And it doesn't cost an extortionate amount..

  7. Re:expired equipment? on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    They expire if they've not been checked by a certified person in the last year/2years/etc, depending on how fussy the people are.

  8. Give them here on Online Website Backup Options? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Send me your FTP details and some cash and I'll...backup...your data.

  9. Re:They have a point on Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Graphics stuff is a large part of the problem for Vista's speed. Just because Compiz is well codeed, and thus efficient, doesn't mean that anything doing flashy effects is.

  10. Re:really ? on Are There Any Smart E-mail Retention Policies? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what happened with that massive Media Defender email leak a while back: someone forwarded it all to a gmail account and failed to secure it properly.

  11. Re:More communist lies on China Launches Antitrust Probe Vs. Microsoft · · Score: 1

    If Windows cost $1000 in the US, how many people do you think would buy legitimate copies of it? Consider ontop of that, that people in China are much poorer, on average, and maybe you'll start to see why people pirate.

  12. To make a point on Why Buy a PC Preloaded With Linux? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So that companies realise that people want Linux, which will encourage them to start making drivers/software compatible. If people buy, then add Linux, companies just assume no one wants Linux. However, if you read the Windows EULA, you can get a full refund from the retailer for the copy of Windows, so that proves a point, and saves you a lot of money.

  13. Re:Definitions please on Griefers Assault Epileptics Via Message Board · · Score: 1

    It's what the people who know nothing about the internet call a troll, or, if ingame, a lamer...

  14. Re:This is why I backup my Gmail with G-Archiver on G-Archiver Harvesting Google Mail Passwords · · Score: 1

    More likely he just created an account for the logs, as most people do when they pull tricks like this...

  15. Re:host header? on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    My website shares it's IP with ~360 other people. But you can only do it for smallish sites.

  16. As a hacker... on The Fine Line Between Security and Usability · · Score: 1

    I'd just like to say thank you for making my job easier.

  17. Re:Personal experience in the UK on UK Schools Will Fight Cyberbullying · · Score: 1

    Would that be the equivalent of hitting the 'cyber bully' with a massive DDoS?

  18. Re:Great publicity stunt on World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps · · Score: 1

    Imagine DoSing someone with a connection like that. Or if you could get half a dozen of them into a botnet....

  19. Re:Idiots on National Archive File Format Time Bomb · · Score: 1

    With almost any kind of text document (not spreadsheets and the like), you can open it up in notepad(++) and access it fine, you just lose most of the formatting.

  20. Re:Is Ubuntu good? on Ubuntu Dell $50 Cheaper Than Vista Dell · · Score: 1

    You should have just got him a copy of Kaspersky/NOD32.

  21. Re:Too little... on Microsoft to Offer Free Online Storage · · Score: 2, Informative

    Gmail is currently at 2869MB, so that's almost 3GB.

  22. Re:Come on, dont be paranoid on China Taking on U.S. in Cyber Arms Race · · Score: 1

    I wonder where those CPUs are made....

  23. Re:One thing they don't address... on F-Secure Responds To Criticism of .bank · · Score: 1

    You'd be amazed at the number of people who use the same email/password combination for stuff like that and their Paypal account....

  24. Re:High scores for Norton on Microsoft OneCare Last in Antivirus Tests · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, I have serious trouble getting rid of Norton. It crashed half way through the uninstall, an them became impossible to delete. I had to go into Linux and manually remove it. Kaspersky seems better, but occasionally takes up 98%CPU, for no reason I can see.

  25. Re:Norwegians, I'm ashamed of you on Vista DRM Cracked by Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    Actually, someone in America published it first. Might have been cracked and going round the hacker underground for weeks.
