  1. Wheres the .torrent? on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 1

    Really, this could work.

  2. One thing annoys me... on FCC Forum Divided on Future VoIP Regulation · · Score: 1

    All this talk about bridging VoIP with the phone system. I dan't care about the problems with that, I don't want to do it, I have no interest in it, and if somehow telemarketers start hitting me up on VoIP over it, I'm gunna go Bun Bun on them.

  3. Re:bah. i hate these. non-x86 users suffer. on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 1

    I'd think it would make reverse engineering easier not having to reboot all the time to test how it reacts to various situations.

    Heck, running the real NTFS on a loopback would prolly be a wet dream to the people working on the free NTFS implementation.

  4. Re:They seem to have som problems though... on Linux 2.6.0 Expected In Mid-December · · Score: 1, Funny

    Its a feature, don't use it,
    enjoy everything else, merry christmas!

  5. Re:Wow on DRM From the Viewpoint of the Electronic Industry · · Score: 1

    Then all we need is some wicked device to shove in the victims, err, music licensees mouth to prevent them from reproducing what they hear in any way.

    Heck, just shoot me and take my money. Very secure.

  6. Wow on DRM From the Viewpoint of the Electronic Industry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All that talk on making unbreakable DRM, and not one nod towards the fact that its a free-for-all at the headphone jack. :-)

    Sad.

  7. Re:Ha Ha on 64-bit Laptops Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Oh, yes, I see that now.

    Umm, weighed in an aquarium then?

  8. Re:Ha Ha on 64-bit Laptops Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I'm sure without batteries and weighed in a vacuum it could be 8 pounds. :-)

  9. Re:easy loophole on MPAA Close to Another "Stealth Victory" in Ohio · · Score: 1

    "But you were seen pressing a button."

    "Up yours, your honor."

    You are so screwed. :-)

  10. Re:casual desktop users may want to try Knoppix on Debian 3.0r2 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm looking at Bonzai Linux for installing Debian.

    Much cleaner I figure.

  11. Re:Why Gentoo is Better on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they should use OpenBSD, because it doesn't use passwords and is therefore immune to the security flaw that plagues everything else.

    Now for the next stop on the lets not RTFA tour...

  12. Re:prefabs are great on Pre-Fab Homes? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Edison was the first person in the world ever to do that... .. Since he was so busy running around proving AC power deadly by inventing small furry creature electrocution death, yay.

    He also invented the airplane and ball point pens, and created the first mars colony (which you don't hear much about because of that whole "space goat ate it" scandal, which he invented FOX News to cover up).

    Yeah, I never tire about hearing all the things Edison single handedly invented. :-)

  13. Re:Why Gentoo is Better on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All I want to know is what compromised packages?

    That and why you don't bleep want to get bleeping flamed and yet you bleep bleeep bleep bleepbleep didn't bother reading the article before posting. :-)

  14. Re:If this were Microsoft... on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 1

    If this were Microsoft, it would have been the 142nd time, and you wouldn't know about it.

  15. Re:What a crappy "article" on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Windows also has a larger installed base and thus a larger possible base of testers. How does that factor in?

    I'd say it allows more people to have a hatred of Windows based on experience. :-)

  16. Re:It all makes sense now on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    You don't need a godlike Neo to hack a pathetic Windows-based Matrix...

    You miss that in the real world Neo isn't very god like, he is just god like within the poor security model of the win-matrix.

    I'd like to see the Linux matrix:

    Gates: "I'm annoying I'm annoying I'm annoying!"
    (Gates segfaults and is reloaded)

    Agent Tux: "I'd uninstall or kill you, but you are no threat to the system."

    Gates: "I'm annoying I'm annoying I'm annoying!"
    (Gates segfaults and is reloaded)

    Agent Tux opens a door with a devil character behind it, and conversationally asks "I thought you were dead" as he leaves the room, closing the door on Gates.

  17. Re:Isn't this just a network censorship device? on Stopping Malware Before It Hits · · Score: 1

    I bet it does on the fly decryption using keys pulled out of a quantum vortex too, so it doesn't miss anything even if for example, noone wanted to have people/machines spying ot their data and took steps to prevent that.

    Yeah, this won't merely raise the bar and get everyone using trivial fixed key encryption (or of all things, compression!).

    Sarcastic people aren't viciously mocking this.

  18. Re:Should design for security on Hackers Track Down Banking Fraud · · Score: 1

    You call IE modern?

    If you look at all the bugs and holes in it, how can you believe that its actually being maintained to the point of justifying it as modern?

  19. Re:Has always worked for me ... on Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software? · · Score: 1

    I just dump blank files (generated with dd if=/dev/zero) onto the partition until they won't fit, erase them, then do the dd thing with a bzip2 on the side (or lzop for the rushed).

    Copying unused blocks or not, any worthy compressor should mash blocks of runlength compressable data into near-nothingness.

  20. Re:Cortana on Search for Miss Digital World · · Score: 1

    I'm also wondering if Tex from RedVersusBlue counts. Technically, she looks exactly the same as the guys but, from the way she sounds, she's gotta be sexy out of that armour.

    I didn't know you were into sharks.

  21. Re:I nominate the babe from Final Fantasy! on Search for Miss Digital World · · Score: 1

    I tried watching that for the first time a few days ago on the SciFi channel. I had to turn it off after the first half hour when they they started talking about "Gaia, spirit of the earth". I am glad that I never wasted money on a ticket or video rental on that piece of garbage.

    You realize that they came up with a fairly original way to destroy the world. You may not appreciate it, I do.

    I'm tired of the usual nuclear, biological, and really-big-rock scenarios.

    They pushed the technology, they did it without just scanning everything in, they MADE a story, and they put it out there. Effort just isn't appreciated any more, I guess thats why the entertainment industry has gone to heck.

    But will you devour my body during intercourse?

  23. Re:Stability on Mac OS X 10.3 vs. Linux · · Score: 1

    I'd never think a poptart in the CD-ROM drive would cause a kernel panic...
