  2. Re:this should not be possible on Staged Hack Causes Generator to Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    This has been around since the 90's through LonWorks/LonTalk developed by http://www.echelon.com/
    Supports communication over twisted pair and power line netowkorks.

    This technology is more of a niche offering still at this point though.

  5. From the 2003 article: on eBay May Lose 'Buy it Now' Button in Patent Case · · Score: 1

    eBay must pay $35 million in patent case A federal jury has ruled that eBay's model for selling fixed-price merchandise violates a patent filed by a Virginia attorney...
    http://edition.cnn.com/2003/TECH/biztech/05/28/eba y.lawsuit.ap/ So, attorney's sell merchandise, and for a fixed price? Now if only I could find these prices somewhere.
  6. Re:Ah well on Gaping Holes In Fully Patched IE7, Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    If you view source on the page you will see that the buttons use javascript to execute their demo, so you would need to allow the malicious script in order to be vulnerable to these attacks.

  7. Re:The advantage then of buying real CD's on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the people that care would be those that use portable music players with solid-state memory devices (iPod nano) because they can use them in situations where they would be jostled alot (running) and don't want bad things, like the head to crash on the 80gb from that use.

  8. Re:WTF on The First Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Considering that the information is already up top ill tag it on here since it was asked again.
    When they said 1MB = 220 bytes, they meant 2^20 or 2<sup>20</sup> Bytes.
    Bring on the -1 Redundant.

  9. Re:Activity time! on AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release · · Score: 1

    we could have them host an extremely small program, or source file to generate this file rather than host the file itself.

  10. Re:AACS? on AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release · · Score: 4, Funny

    Normally this would be the perfect place for a "You must be new there," comment.

  11. Re:FingLonger on Making Fingers Work With Touch Screens · · Score: 1

    This still doesn't solve the being able to see the cursor problem
    The FingLonger just lets you hit the "Cancel or Allow" from another room.

    Sticking with the seeing the music.
    You can do this with your digital collection on Amarok with the moodbar plugin.

  13. Microsoft is Silly on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    "Naming them would make it either clear that Linux isn't infringing at all (which is quite possible, especially if the patents are bad), or would make it possible to avoid infringing by coding around whatever silly thing they claim." FUD, its freaking everywhere.
  14. Re:Have they fixed the startup time? on Sun Debuts JavaFX As Alternative To AJAX · · Score: 1

    I don't know the exact time, but its long enough for my browser's UI to hang while waiting for Java to load that I have Applets blocked universally.

  15. Re:...and in related news, on Proposed Legislation Is Mooninite Fallout · · Score: 1

    2 things 1) its now ~/.purple 2) check your tools->privacy options

  18. Re:Pfft. on Pidgin 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    From what I have heard is that during these secret discussions with AOL the pidgin developers had to refrain from major code changes. That is what has set back much of new features.
    Things like MSN are still back on protocol 7 (currently 14 AFAIK), partly due to the terms of AOL's compromise, and the fact that the person working on it did't finish the work last SoC.

  19. Re: That's not what Yahoo is saying... on Yahoo! Photos to Shut Down · · Score: 1

    yay for not reading the post directly above the one you replied to, gp was referring to the link http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-6084601-7.html being nearly a year old [June-2006].

  20. Re:IBM: on IBM's Snowflake Microchips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its time for the 11 O'clock news:
    Global warming is showing signs of 30% growth with 15% decrease in greenhouse gas production.

    The global flooding theories are proven incorrect as the polar ice caps are turning directly into steam.

    great, a screen shot like that is worse that most conspiracy nuts pictures.

  22. Re:Not very long... on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    yeah, but the one I linked was an actual post.
    I could go dig up any random article from weeks ago that someone put the key in their .sig today and say it was posted before it was found.

  23. Re:Not very long... on Censoring a Number · · Score: 3, Informative

    actually it was posted before this article even came up. http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=233015&cid= 18945309

  24. Re:Keyhole was really cool on How Google Earth Images Are Made · · Score: 1

    speaking of keyhole, notpron references this in one of the levels. IIRC the hint involved "keyhole" and coordinates to a shape which describes the user/password to the next level.

  25. Re:preference on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1
    Sounds like the DS:
