  1. pcmcia during install on Gentoo Linux Announces Gentoo Linux 2004.1 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if pcmcia works during the install for 2004.1? I tried using both the universal and unversal-minimal images for 2004.0, and had no luck. (Don't happen to have the hardware to test with in front of me, or I'd answer my own question.)

  2. In other news... on Israeli Super Drone Stolen · · Score: 2, Funny

    An Israeli webserver cries.

    I think I can provide a port based DDOS attack against them. Aww yeah!

    I need to get out more.

  5. I get it on Open Code Has Fewer Bugs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Open source has fewer bugs.
    Bill Gates: bugs are cool.
    Ergo, open source is not cool!

  6. shakespere on Beware of Fake Monkey Automatons · · Score: 1

    Ok, so I'll be careful when picking up Shakespere stories created by an infinite number of monkies that *actual* monkies were used.

    Thanks Slashdot!

  7. Re:The problem with strong passwords... on Passwords May Be Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    so how exactly is this a problem? Are you able to get it from his pocket? No. Let's say you rob him. Are you going to assume that these random barcodes are passwords, and what systems they belong to? No. I've heard this argument before, but I don't understand what the threat is.

  8. I've already got realtime keying w/o color bg... on Video with Depth · · Score: 3, Funny

    it's called a dumb terminal.

    Thank you.

  13. Re:www.callmeaconsumerandillkickyourduff.com on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 1

    Amen, brother! Consumer is such a demeaning way to refer to a person. You hit the nail right on the head. As if we are powerless slaves. We not only have a conscience, but we can act on it as free humans, larger than the issues that affect us. Our role is not to make others money.

    My english teacher in college once commented that he heard us (the class) refered to as "consumers" and that this made him afraid, because he thought that meant we were going to eat him!

    What a silly word, consumer.

  14. As in Computer Hacking on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 1

    "Of course, there are people out there with enough time and knowledge to do it and spread the info, but I doubt if an inexperienced or unmotivated person could do it."

    This is the same situation with computer hacking: one person creates the exploit, many use it. It happens all the time. The only difference is that chipping requires money whereas the money required to use exploits (ISP connection fees, time) is largely invisable.

    Much of the original specification for carnivore is still considered classified (see redactions here: http://www.epic.org/privacy/carnivore/foia_documen ts.html). So just what will the FBI allow you to disclose in this interview?
