• Commented on Device remotely destroys hard drive data
  If indeed this device is real it seems needlessly convoluted and aimed at people who have little knowledge of computers and who think that in order to deny someone else access to the information you have to fry the HDD....
• Commented on Companies that use Gmail abroad break the law because PATRIOT makes it possible for US spooks to spy on Google
  Jeff, At least in Great Britain, France and Canada they would have to work within the law, and if that wasn't possible they'd have to work pretty hard to change it. In the US, at the moment, all the government...
• Commented on Companies that use Gmail abroad break the law because PATRIOT makes it possible for US spooks to spy on Google
  I don't really see why Google is the whipping boy here apart from the fact that the media likes a big juicy name to throw into stories. This problem applies to all data being hosted by any American company, or...
• Commented on FoxClocks: global time plugin for Firefox
  Also, KDE has had this for years in the taskbar clock applet. It's pretty handy. Although I don't see how putting this functionality inside the browser is useful, except maybe for other platforms who don't have something like this in...
• Commented on BluRay's BD+ DRM broken
  No one actually knows if it has indeed been broken or not. All we have to go on is the press release from SlySoft, which of course has a vested interest in selling its products. They made the same statements...
• Commented on Torture playlist
  The music is all shit, unsurprisingly, and also pretty chilling stuff. Imagine yourself being waterboarded, beaten, sleep deprived and god knows what else listening to these tracks. Now imagine your screams being drowned out by them....
• Commented on Dancing man wearing a horse mask cooks wild mushrooms (video)
  The second I saw a half naked guy wearing a horse's head holding a poisonous mushroom with an anime character plastered over his wall and the intro theme to Final Fantasy VI playing in the background... I knew I'd better...
• Commented on (Guatemala) Google is sorry.
  I ran into this problem many times while traveling and using public access points (cafes, hotels, airports, so on...). Basically there's always someone that blacklists the public IP of the location, or in some cases entire IP blocks. I've found...
• Commented on David Lynch on the iPhone
  Didn't he kinda do just that? He was referring to tiny cell phone screens, the parent was referring to living room setups, which was what I was commenting upon. I don't consider a 3.5 inch screen to be a "setup"...
• Commented on David Lynch on the iPhone
  "everyone should have their lynch approved HD projector home theater setups by now" Oh get off the FUD, he never said anything of the kind. Apart from his perk of not putting chapter stops on his DVDs I never heard...
• Commented on David Lynch on the iPhone
  I'm a huge David Lynch fan and this is the first time I've heard him swear, the way he says "fucking telephone" with so much feeling behind it had me in stitches. And to all the people who think he's...
