  1. Re:Explain 1 hour access to the remote on Breaking a Car's Cipher · · Score: 1

    Who actually uses a valet key though?
    honestly, I dont even know where mine is.

  2. Re:If you have the key you can steal it? on Breaking a Car's Cipher · · Score: 1

    a valet would be perfect cover.
    set a device that could steal many keys underneath the box they store keys in...

    you also do not need to be in physical control of the key. Merely near it.

  3. Re:Not a Gentoo user on Linus Torvalds Speaks Out on Future of Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    There are no gentoo USERS. they never get to actually use the system

  4. Re:Can it be ignored? on Free Tuition for Math, Science, and Engineering? · · Score: 1

    Yes, look at how much crap the US takes for not doing anything about darfur (which is about oil too)

  5. Re:What about a re-install? on DMCA Means You Can't Delete Files On Your PC? · · Score: 1

    one word: intent.

    that is key to every law.

  6. Spanish version of slashdot? on Spanish TV Channels Vandalize Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    oh really?

  7. Re:Won't help on Watermarking to Replace DRM? · · Score: 1

    "Whoops, I dont know how that file got shared, someone must have hacked my computer..."

    Or the pirate groups that already do that just ignore the watermarks because they cant get in trouble because they are out of the country etc.

  8. Re:Why? on Building a Fast Wikipedia Offline Reader · · Score: 1

    Because I can

    which is one of the greatest motivations for human advancements.

  9. Re:Background noise on Does Going Digital Mean Missing Music? · · Score: 1

    The vast overwhelming majority do not have high end audio setups where they sit and LISTEN (and only listen) to music.

    it is quite simple, those people that do that are the tiny insignificant minority.

  10. Who the hell designed that scale on 3.0GHz Phenom and 3-Way CrossFire Spotted · · Score: 3, Funny

    It reminds me of an old SNL clip, the mcmacilin group.

    "on a scale of 22-46 rate ...."

  11. Re:Wasnt JOBS a PHREAKER getting free phone call?! on iPhone Can Now Run Apache, Python, Vim · · Score: 1

    Jobs never had the technical skills.

    That was woz

  12. ISPs should block smtp servers on US and China Top List of Spam-Relaying Countries · · Score: 1

    They really should have a default block of smtp servers, UNLESS specifically requested. I think that will take care of everyone nicely, it will stop the masses who dont even know what SMTP is from running zombies, and also accomidate the people that do want to

    The defaults should be sane for the masses, with options for those that dont fit in that category.

  13. What about GPS on cars on Will Security Firms Detect Police Spyware? · · Score: 1

    What about tracking systems on cars that police install, or bugs in your home.

    is it legal to remove them if found? I would destroy them all, uninstall it etc. But is it legal to do so?

  14. Re:This is a climate change thing. on Giant Squid Washed Ashore in Australia · · Score: 1

    And?

  15. Re:This is a climate change thing. on Giant Squid Washed Ashore in Australia · · Score: 1

    Normally? this could have been a fluke
    if it happens repeatidly i may agree, but since it a rare occurance that has been happening for hundreds of years i doubt it is anything new from climate

  16. Re:crap on Linux Gets Completely Fair Scheduler · · Score: 1

    Its not like MS ever bothered implementing either of those things.

  17. Re:Damn! I Want to Mod You Down! on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    There is only so many hours in the day, you have to pick and choose who you can spend the time with, and it might as well be extra beneficial to.

    It isnt the sole purpose, but it has that nice benefit.

  18. Re:Don't know about you on $499 PlayStation 3 Confirmed · · Score: 1

    MPAA perhaps?

  19. Re:Internal illegal sharing site ? on MediaDefender Denies Entrapment Accusations · · Score: 1

    "but i thought it was an MPAA site so therefore it was legal to download from them"

    and in this case that defense would work because it was an MPAA site ;)

  20. Re:Damn! I Want to Mod You Down! on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That was by far, the most ignorant response on slashdot I have ever seen..

    The receptionist is a key player, far more important that most managers in a building. He or she knows all, and usually they are nice people to talk to anyways because who else wants to do that type of job, and have to deal with the amount of crap.

  21. Re:DJs on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    Agreed,

    it is also useless for cue file/mp3 combos

  22. Check my inbox while saying good morning on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    My first half hours is basically:

    In the door to my inbox, say hi to the people in that area, and the receptionist.
    Usually have a convo or 2 depending on whats happening that day in the office.
    Go down, check my email, get a glass of water, check my voicemail.

    Respond to all that stuff that occurred, call clients etc, and then start my regular day an hour later.

  23. DJs on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only people i know that buy (and they download too, but they buy a hell of a lot) singles are DJs that spin them at clubs etc.

    I cant believe success is judged by singles.
    Albums are what they measure platinum records in

  24. Why does the BBC need DRM? on BBC Chooses Microsoft DRM Platform · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, what are they trying to "protect"

  25. If I were a graduate I would be pissed on Star Wars Takes Over Harvard Commencement · · Score: 1

    What a stupid commencement on a big day. Mediocre pop culture incorporated into a scholarly event at THE top educational institution in the nation
