  1. Re:You're wrong. on Microsoft Responds To 360 Hackers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sorry, but you are the idiot for not seeing through a very clear joke...

  2. Re:I'd call AVG... on Alternative Enterprise Anti-Virus Solutions? · · Score: 1

    AVG Free edition is ruled out by the licensing which doesn't cover non-home users pretty much. Even libraries are excluded from using it legally.

    I'm glad someone else pointed this out. When I read the summary I sat there thinking, "But the free AVG license doesn't even cover nonprofits..."

    Play with patent fire...

    Is that anything like patent leather?

    That's the British way of saying it...

  5. Re:Hint: if the most common search phrases on Google in Trouble for Suggesting Illegal Software · · Score: 1

    If you're building a home network that needs enterprise-grade monitoring then you probably have the skills to create a monitoring system yourself.

    Gah! Should've linked to their full product listing.

  7. Re:Hint: if the most common search phrases on Google in Trouble for Suggesting Illegal Software · · Score: 4, Informative

    Their pricing doesn't seem to be particularly out of line. If you find their software useful, it's certainly reasonable.

  8. Re:Does that mean... on Google in Trouble for Suggesting Illegal Software · · Score: 1

    From the Google Suggest FAQ linked to below: For example, Google Suggest uses data about the overall popularity of various searches to help rank the refinements it offers. From this, it sounds like 'serverscheck crack' is the second highest search term with 'serverscheck professional' coming in third.

  9. Re:No Surprise. on Virtual Land, Real Court, Real Money · · Score: 1

    He didn't circumvent a copy-control, there's no DMCA violation.

    IIRC, the wording of the DMCA refers to access control devices, which could conceivably cover a URL.

  10. Re:No Surprise. on Virtual Land, Real Court, Real Money · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Watch what happens next--Linden Labs will slap a countersuit at him alleging a DMCA violation. Sad thing is, their case will have a whole lot more merit than his does.

    Not true, a lawyer will represent your claims, as long as he can ethically do so.

    Bwahhahahahahahhahahah!

    Ahem. That's Wiin and More Wiin.

  13. more alt headlines on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A sampling of real headlines courtesy of Google News:

    Gr-ape lengths made in human DNA study
    Men mated with chimps for 1m years (now that's endurance!)
    A chimp off the ol' block
    Chimps & Early Man couldn't stop lovin'
    Grandma Manimal

    And they keep going and going...

    I liked my headline a whole lot better:
    Was Your Ancestor a Monkey F**ker?

  15. Re:Can We Get the NSA involved in F/OSS? on NSA Chose Invasive Phone Analysis Option · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exactly! Perhaps they could come up with a descriptive name that alludes to the level of utility and usability of the program. In which case, they'd end up calling it...The Gimp!

  16. Re:Retraction? on Slashback: Sony Blu-Ray, Phone Records, Korean Cloners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seems like he'd fit right in with those groups since they're pretty good at doing half-assed work and pushing their agendas.

    Hate to break this to you, but upon closer scrutiny, you'll find that a disturbingly large portion of the world does things half-assed. You usually only notice how bad it is when you happen to be well-versed in a particular subject or if, as mentioned above, you scrutinize someone's work or findings.

  17. Re:Of all the things on Immersion Queries Lack Of PS3 Controller Rumble · · Score: 4, Funny

    (shoving the damn thing down your pants doesn't count as making it useful)

    No, but it sure does increase the fun-factor for a whole lot of games...

  18. obvious on Immersion Queries Lack Of PS3 Controller Rumble · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought that Sony's losing battle with Immersion was a pretty obvious explanation for why the PS3 control doesn't feature any sort of rumble feature. The sad thing is that I didn't see this mentioned *anywhere* last week in the articles about the new controller. Journalists everywhere seemed to take it at face-value that rumble and tilt was an either/or proposition.

  19. Re:I don't trust a book that lies in the title on Google: The Missing Manual, Second Edition · · Score: 0

    I'm assuming your post was supposed to be a joke. But if it wasn't, the point behind the "Missing Manual" series is that these are substitutes for the manuals that don't come with software anymore.

  20. Re:Spying on The Ultimate Net Monitoring Tool? · · Score: 1

    Most people will only care if it influences thier ability to watch American Idol, and if not, oh well.

    Oh, but it does affect American Idol. The votes are handled via a call-in system. The NSA now has a record of who you voted for!

  21. oh, in that case... on The Ultimate Net Monitoring Tool? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh. Well, since the NSA bought the software that it's using, then that makes everything okey with me... :-/

  22. Here's to hoping... on Lower-Price PS3 Mostly Upgradeable · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here's to hoping that the lack of HDMI on the low-end model will keep content providers from ever implementing the ICT flag on movies. There's a slim chance that this move by Sony will keep that from happening.
