    Its not non-compliance when a federal judge has ruled that you cannot be forced to reveal your encryption keys. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9834495-38.html

  3. Re:Wa wa what? on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    All you need is the certificate file from your existing install and the key that copy of windows was installed with from the factory (not the one on the sticker). Install with the 64bit windows dvd without using a key, install the certificate and enter the key.

  4. Re:DRM? on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    People who keep asking this are ill informed. DRM exists in whatever it is protecting not in the OS (besides a decoder).

    No need to wait for sp1, Windows 7 might as well be Vista SP3 with a new UI and more efficient code.

    If only there were a place where would could put large concentrations of them.... we could call it a "concentration camp", possibly the final solution to the sex offender question?

  13. Re:ban the man on P2P Network Exposes Obama's Safehouse Location · · Score: 1

    But placing rules (along with penalties) for using an unauthorized application when dealing with high level clearance materials just seems like basic security.

    Materials that require clearance are kept on machines that have no internet access.SIPRNet was created for just this purpose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIPRNet

    http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/378/16465_.html "About twenty years later the head of the Istanbul National Museum Halil Edhem found an old map while revising the library of Byzantine emperors in the old sultans palace. The author of the map depicted the Western coast of Africa, the Southern coast of South America and the Northern coast of Antarctica. Halil was astonished. The ice edge of the Queen Maud Land south of 70th parallel was free of ice. The author mapped a mountain chain at this point. The name of the cartographer was well known to Edhem. It was the admiral of Ottoman Empire Fleet Piri Reis, who lived in the first half of the 16th century." "Piri Reis himself explained on the margins of the map that the map was based on a lot of previous sources, some of which belonged to his contemporaries, while others could be dated with as early as the 4th century B.C. One of the sources, for instance, belonged to Alexander the Great. Thus Reis could not be made responsible for the data presented on the map."

  15. Re:Which seems to make sense over all on F-22 Raptor Cancelled · · Score: 1

    While air to air combat is no longer short range dogfighting,

    You should learn the reason why Top Gun was created before you say dogfighting is obsolete. This was the same mistake made when jet aircraft and air-to-air missiles became common.

  16. Re:Which seems to make sense over all on F-22 Raptor Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Thinking that air-to-air engagements would only involve missiles is why many of our aircraft were lost in dogfights early in Vietnam. Its also the reason guns were put back on our aircraft and Top Gun was created.

  17. Re:Poor Title on F-22 Raptor Cancelled · · Score: 1

    The F-35 doesn't have the same capabilities as the F-22. In fact the F-22 program should have got those funds but our NATO allies wanted a new fighter. Its all politics.

And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

  20. Re:Stupid Motherfuckers on NASA Releases Restored Apollo 11 Video, But Originals Lost · · Score: 1

    To be quite honest, NASA should be gutted again. They've got to use Russian built rockets to get the European and Canadian parts up to the space station, they don't know the difference between the metric system and the english system,

    You're one to talk when you don't even know the different between the metric system and the imperial system.
