  1. Re:It wasn't the police. on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 1

    The headline would read: "Ninjas Own Pirates".

  2. Re:PERSONAL WEB SITE on 2006 Webby Award Winners Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should disable the "Allow sripts to: Move or resize existing windows" option. I hate it too.

    For Firefox 1.5
    ->Tools
    ->Options
    ->Content
    ->Advanced (next to the "Enable JavaScript" checkbox)
    ->Uncheck "Move or resize existing windows"

    In older versions, you have to open the configuration file and disable from there.

  3. Re:Another problem on SF Wifi More Than Flipping a Switch · · Score: 1

    When I worked as a carpenter, our stucco guys used a plastic mesh which is probably cheaper than chicken wire.

  4. Re:Answer is easy. on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 1

    That's a shame too, because nobody gets rich from working 40/50/60 hour work weeks. It's just enough to pay taxes, take those 10 vacation days, eat fast food, and die.

  5. Re:Will the media stop calling them missing links? on Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors · · Score: 1

    This is true if you read it as "the missing link", but it very well could be "a missing link" -- one of the many links, as of yet, not found and are, therefore, "missing" in the "chain of evolution".

  6. Re:I had plans for those CPU cycles anyway on Aero To Be Unavailable To Pirates · · Score: 1

    This is true. It also makes a noticable difference when connecting via VNC.

  7. Sensitive Data? on Military Secrets for Sale on Stolen USB Drives · · Score: 1

    FTA: A shopkeeper interviewed by the Associated Press news agency said he was not interested in the worth of the information on the memory drives.

    I guess those copies of Mambo_No_5.mp3 arent so popular at the bazaar?

  8. Re:as if this will have any effect on chinese pira on The End of Naked PCs in China? · · Score: 1

    Oh no, I didn't pay $5. The was the initial pre-haggle 'fahrang' price was 200 baht (slightly more than $5), but I wasn't even interested. I got all the software I need, and besides that would be against the law ;) I leave for Pattay on Friday, in fact. Now I'm interested, and I'd bet saying something like "lot noi dai mai" would instantly drop the price to 100 baht. I could use an extra copy of Windows ME anyway ;p

  9. Re:as if this will have any effect on chinese pira on The End of Naked PCs in China? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can't speak for China, as I've never been there, but in Thailand, you can go to the mall and find stores (actual stores, not booths) that have nothing but spindles upon spindles of CD-Rs with 'pirated' software. The disks go for the equivilant of $5 US and probably cheaper if you're Thai. It's quite an interesting thing to see.

  10. Re:It's Not The Applications That Matter on Bunk Camp - Apple Gets It Wrong? · · Score: 1

    He should look at the ipod -- is that the only mp3 player out there or anywhere close to the cheapest? People want Apple's because of the trend and the way the hardware looks.

    Personally, I bought an iPod because of the availability of accessories -- past, present, and future.

  11. Lawsuits on More Music File-Sharing Lawsuits in Europe · · Score: 1

    Only in Americ... err wait
