  1. Re:You can't on Tasmanian Dept. of Education Wants Anti-Virus for Linux, OS X · · Score: 2

    The only thing a positive scan tells me, is that it is time to rebuild which is a pain in the ass and I have skimped on it before.

  2. Re:Always wondered where these came from... on Russian Payment Processor Runs Massive Scareware Operation · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is how to get them patched with a non-admin account. I want to allow already installed apps to update themself without allowing new aps to be installed by the user or being able to make other changes to the system.

  3. Re:Pointless fight on Activists Seek Repeal of Ban On Incandescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    This has ben bothering me a whole deal as well. I could never understand why it was legal to use tem in cars, as they are so distracting. Niw i see you posting that a lot of people do not notice the effect. I have always figured everyone did, but just didn't care. I have always hated CFLs at offices, grocery stores etc. and now they are invading every home.

  4. Re:No. on Retro Browser War: IE6 Vs. Netscape In 2011 · · Score: 1

    This is a plausible theory, but I am curious are there any references for this?

  5. Re:All about features, not stability on Compared and Contrasted: OpenOffice V. LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, LO crashes randomly when saving a document while OO does not. Maybe it's a fluke on my system, but that's how it is. Drove me crazy until I decided to try OO, not believing that it would actually help. Using OS X SL.

  6. Re:Printable version on Compared and Contrasted: OpenOffice V. LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    There are plugins for this in Chrome, which last time I checked weren't without some imperfections though. Also great for reading forums etc.

  7. Re:We don't use sudo? on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    Just tiny technicality, what's wrong with "sudo su root" ?

  8. Re:Obligatory.... on Crysis 2 Leaked Over a Month Before Launch · · Score: 1

    Citation or looking for a funny mod?

  9. Re:Money on An Open Letter To PC Makers: Ditch Bloatware, Now! · · Score: 1

    That must have been the last time I attached my old 3.5".

  10. Re:Can't see it on Mark Zuckerberg Makes Surprise SNL Cameo · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are a turd.

  11. Re:For documentation purposes on Example.com Has Changed · · Score: 1

    I've always been under the impression that it is fine to use anon@example.com as a fake email address for sites that require my to enter an email address to prevent spamming real mail servers.

  12. Re:Best story ever. [citation needed] on Spam Text Prematurely Blows Up Suicide Bomber · · Score: 1

    In Russia? I doubt it.

  13. Re:And that was that site... on Makerbot Thing-o-Matic 3D Printer Review · · Score: 1

    They should have made a few more web servers with the Thing-o-Matic *ducks*

  14. Re:Steepest learning curve ? on Foundation Drupal 7 · · Score: 1

    Oh yes. My theory is only the developers them selfs actually know how to use it.

  15. Re:Bad interpretation on No More Version Numbers For HTML · · Score: 1

    mod op up

  16. HTML ME on No More Version Numbers For HTML · · Score: 1

    Awesome no numbers. Can't wait for HTML Vista or HTML Hardy Heron!

  17. Re:Duh? on Facebook Opens Up Home Addresses and Phone Numbers · · Score: 1

    It seems like to me you have never been to http://www.whitepages.com/

  18. Re:Think of the children too on Man Mines Facebook For Security Questions, Nabs Nude Photos From Email · · Score: 1

    You are kidding, right?

  19. Re:Founder Hoax on The Biggest Hoaxes In Wikipedia's First Decade · · Score: 1

    Thankfully, this is not 4chan.

  20. Re:If only the world worked like this.... on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 1

    I agree, I think this could actually make a viable system. It seems similar to what Stream does with their constant sales and package deals. I doubt they ask the developers every time they temporarily adjust sale prices. Of course you as the developer could adjust the price yourself, but I really think that would be a too big of a burden and few devs would actually do that on an ongoing basis. Let's also assume that Amazon (like Steam) wants the highest possible return on app sales so they will probably work towards your interest in pricing schemes. I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

  21. Re:My 2010 spam graph, ~15k users, ~1k domains on Spam Volume Spikes After Holiday Respite · · Score: 1

    Between greylisting, filtering out dynamic ips and some sanity checks with postfix there isn't really much spam getting through. So little in fact that I have stopped scanning email content which means absolutely no false positives.

  22. Crack instructions, 1994 on What's the Oldest File You Can Restore? · · Score: 1

    There is something to be said about the Net never forgetting. This is the oldest file I can think of and it was originally uploaded amongst others to the crack section at WUArchive: http://www.gamers.org/pub/games/uwp-uml/romulus/cracks/dark-legions-crack.txt I am surprised it has survived this long.

  23. Re:Uh on Google's Next Challenge, Spam Results · · Score: 1

    Because, in an unprecedented way, editors at /. do not actually edit. Meaning it feels like all they do is aggregate news, instead of moderating, proofing, and yes, editing submissions.
