  1. Re:Definitely on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, although how does one know when a mouse is tripping? The only apparent effect we can observe is mild stimulation while unbeknown to us the mouse is trippin balls.

  2. reminds me of TPB on German TOR Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    This story reminds of TPB seizures. The real story is not that they were seized but rather what comes after the seizure. If they can't get any data from them they will only manage to credit TOR.

  3. Re:Irresponsible on Defeating China's National Firewall · · Score: 1

    I don't like the way our US government is restricting my rights and invading my privacy, but if I start to form a militia do you think it ever has the chance of becoming powerful enough to overthrow the US government? No! Of course not! They would just erase my ass and never think twice about it. There is only so much the people of most established governments can do. At least the people of China can move to the US to gain more freedom. To simply state that they should do something about it is much easier said than done.

  4. Avast on Best of the Free Anti-virus Choices? · · Score: 1

    I have used both AVG and Avast and find that Avast is the better choice IMHO. Avast has a nicer UI (again IMO), updates are automatic for both av defs and engine, and seems to use little resources.

    I liked it enough to acquire the Pro version for my wife's computer, and I'm considering using it for my company AV (currently using CA and it sux).

    Just my 1/2 cent.
  5. Re:I have to comment on this.. on What Can Mandriva Linux 2006 Mean for Home Users? · · Score: 1
    I have to say that you are right on the money with the comparison to win 95.

    I've read everywhere that WPA is still a nightmare (I haven't even gotten that far), I even upgraded to the latest flight of dapper because I read that the wireless networking was improved.

    Why does something as simple as wpa security have to be so difficult to get working? My router is linux based and doesn't seem to have any problems doing it

  6. I have to comment on this.. on What Can Mandriva Linux 2006 Mean for Home Users? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not a big poster but read slashdot daily. I had to post about my weekend with ubuntu... Let me first start by saying that I am a linux newbie. I'm a windows admin beginning to dable with ubuntu. I've been comfortable using Ubuntu as the default on my home laptop for about a month now. Over the weekend I decided to get the wireless card working, I had tried breifly before without success and decided to give it a real go. To make a long story short...I've read every how-to/wiki/forum on how to get wireless cards working and 2 days later I still don't have wireless. The point: With windows I would plug it in, it would ask me for the drivers and I would point to the correct folder. On Ubuntu I have spent 2 days at a command prompt typing all sorts of stuff and it still doesn't work. Linux has a way to go before it is ready for the average joe user.

  7. that's great on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    That's great until you lose the little device, or my kid unlocks the door by accidently puonding out the right sequence.

  8. Re:Customers might get shares too on Vonage IPO · · Score: 1

    interesting. I don't see how that is going to work, but I'll gladly take any shares they want to give me.
