  1. Just use the tried and true. on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 1

    ROT 13 works for me, but I have had some trouble with encrypting the same information an even number of times.

  2. It can be a good thing on Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All of the people that I do PC support are now running Firefox, Thunderbird and OO. In a few months I will set them up dual boot with Linux and ween them off of M$.

  5. Used a great one, but that was 15 years ago on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1

    I use to be in mid management at a software house, I had hire/fire over a group of programmers I used one headhunter for a few hires then ended up just calling her. She did a great job, never over selling a canidate, and giving 90 to 180 work hire contracts for entry level programmers. One days she asked me if I was happy, I told her no that the job stank. She placed me in a great job that paid well and had no overtime. I think it is all about working with you recuriter. If you think they are anygood, let them know that they are the only source you are using, or atleast the primary source.

  6. Re:CompUSA Prices on IT's Most Outrageous Markups? · · Score: 1

    You need to look in to the sport of dumpster diving. I know guys who have scored CPU's Hard drives, working systems that were running well enough to load linux on. Sure 30 bucks ant much, but a stack of 6 Gig hard drives can be fun to play with.

  7. Re:yea well on Eric Raymond's Homebrew SCO Poison · · Score: 0

    It's not Kool Aid, it's Grape Kool Aid. Do a google on grape koolaid and jim jones. Damn I am getting old.

  8. Re:Without specifying which it is ... on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Your Given Name · · Score: 1

    I am rather tall, well over 6' and have the same exact name first middle and last as a man that has killed a few and done time in jail for possesion of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute. He is rather tall within an inch of me, born the same month and year. This can be fun when he is out of prison and the police are looking for him. Only thing that saves me is we are of diffent races and I point that out to the officer as they are handcuffing me.

  9. May be they could base it on this site. on Web-based Road Monitoring · · Score: 1

  10. Read the review not the editors summary on Tuxedo Park · · Score: 1

    The reviewer said he made RADAR a reality not that he invented it, even stating that he got information from the british. The summary said he invented it.

  11. Re:I like spending less for things.... on Tuxedo Park · · Score: 1

    Or you can buy it from your local bookstore and not support the people that brought you the "one click patent" Don't support the IP robber barrons

  12. Line Printers on Old Computers Exhibit · · Score: 1

    In the US Line Printers are still used to print multicopy forms like W2's and 1099's. Atlease until they come up with a laser printer that can print though 9 sheets of paper at once.
    Yes I know that some companies use laser printers for W2's, but ask your forms suppiler how many people still use multipart carbon mailers.

  13. Re:You know what I'd kill for? on Working Bayesian Mail Filter · · Score: 1

    I have played with Norton Internet Security 2003 and it has pretty good spam filtering routines. I also run Pocomail to set up for what Norton misses, but NIS will get about 95 percent of my spam. I have had the same email address for over 8 years and I get between 60 and 200 pieces of spam a day. It is nice to have to only deal with 3 to 10 pieces of spam. I am migrating to my own domain, and will use temporary email addresses. Have people found that this helps with the spam?
