  1. There are plenty of hosts out there on Record Label Infringes Own Copyright, Site Pulled · · Score: 4, Informative

    I mean, the market for hosting is so huge they shouldn't have a problem finding a company that actual understands CC and won't pull their site right away. I hope they do.

  2. Finally on Vendetta Online Lets Users Create New Game Content · · Score: 1

    Game developers harness the zealousness of their fans!

  3. I know what to do on Schneier Calls Quantum Cryptography Impressive But Pointless · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone encrypt his hard drive with quantum encryption...see how pointless it is then!

  4. Re:soforkit on Android Also Comes With a Kill-Switch · · Score: 1

    But your using the phone which means you agreed to the agreement which means...you can't really sue...can you?

  5. Re:CDE? on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 1

    Yea thats the *precursor*, aka the thing that came before.

  6. Good News Everyone! on e1000e Bug Squashed — Linux Kernel Patch Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hwwaa? Oh yes...the kernel does't corrupt your EEPROM anymore!

  7. Rockbox rules on After 3 Years, Rockbox 3.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've used it on my iRiver h120 player and it is 100x better than the stock firmware for that player. It boots faster, clean file browser, better power management and it can play OGG and FLAC and all that good stuff. Its awesome.

  8. Where are the terrorists at? on Spy Agencies Turn To Online Sources For Info · · Score: 0

    Just Google it Agent Smith.

  9. Re:Slackware on Server Optimization For Newbies? · · Score: 1

    This advice is awesome. I use Arch Linux myself which is very similar to slack, with better package management (pacman!). You start with a base install, you add what you need on top of it. This is the best way to get to know your way around the system.

  10. Re:I don't know if I fully agree with that on Fire Your IT Boss · · Score: 5, Insightful

    (timing, resource allocation, cost, etc..)

    Yes, but the people who actually see those resources and money at work have a *much* better better idea where they actually go. A manager who has a history lower down will make better choices, instead of just throwing money at something, they might throw it at the project, but aim it a bit better.

  11. Re:It's going to have maintainability problems. on Examining Chrome's Source Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hate it when this happens. Its all shiny on the outside for the user but its a nightmare for the developer. SDKs and software distros don't need to be that big. Look at most open source projects. 50M is considered *huge* for a source tarball. I wish when companies released their big "open source for publicity" software they would do it right.

  12. Re:Sounds like something I know... on New Details For Battle.net 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Silly, I'm talking about the ever-popular Steam.

  13. Sounds like something I know... on New Details For Battle.net 2.0 · · Score: 2

    Sounds alot like some software named after vaporized H2O!

  14. Re:What's with the TSA apologist BS? on To Boldly Go Where No Mento Has Gone Before · · Score: 1

    But the medium *is* the message!

  15. Re:Intel isn't aiming at gamers on Nvidia Claims Intel's Larrabee Is "a GPU From 2006" · · Score: 1

    You forget one critical thing. We (linux geeks) are the people that fix PCs for our family, neighbors, customers, etc. I've seen both nVidia's and ATI's linux history, and nVidia has come out on top imho. Now when someone wants to upgrade their video card or buy a new computer I'm going to recommend an nVidia card simply because I like them better :P.
    Linux support means more than just that, it means the more informed people out there will like that company better, and recommend it when given the chance.

  16. Re:Programmers, help me out here.... on The Future of Persistent Worlds In MMOs · · Score: 1

    This is a perfect plan!

  17. Re:Cross Platform? on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

  18. Cross Platform? on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    Well, is it?

  19. Re:Why don't they... on Amateur Scientists Seek Fusion Reaction · · Score: 1

    Good news everyone!

  20. Re:Hmm, it is and it isn't... on Why One-time Passwords Suck For MITM Attacks · · Score: 1

    I agree. This is what SSH does, just cache the server's key and complain when it changes...this system works well (as long as your certain who your talking to on the first connection).

  21. Re:Why go halfway? on Why One-time Passwords Suck For MITM Attacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...they were then fired for their incompetence.
    ...then they were taken out and beaten to a pulp.
    ...then they were ground up into this powder!

  22. Re:xkcd comic on Why One-time Passwords Suck For MITM Attacks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To answer your question, I though the link was quite appropriate, it was an xkcd that I had missed, and quite enjoyed it.

    Also, do you think you own this space or something? I mean your post sure took up alot of room with 0 useful content, while the parents one-liner was a much better use of space.

  23. Re:TrueCrypt on Secure File Storage Over Non-Trusted FTP? · · Score: 1

    Oh, well on linux just use fuse to mount the ftp volume. Not sure if you can do something similar on windows, mount an ftp site as a "network drive" maybe with some third party software.

    Sorry if my answer offended you.

  24. The Love Triangle... on Why One-time Passwords Suck For MITM Attacks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Alice and Bob's relationship will be at stake when an unknown interloper...Larry...arrives on the scene. Is this love line segment about to become a love triangle? Will the self-signed certs be accepted?

    Coming to you this fall...Larry is...The Man in the Middle.

  25. Re:TrueCrypt on Secure File Storage Over Non-Trusted FTP? · · Score: 1

    I provided information which some people seemed to think was usefull. I addressed the cross-platform part of his question.

    Your post, on the other hand, doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
