    Beam down Spock with a notebook to take orders, then broadcast the pages people want.

  2. Re:Hu? on Hackers Claim $10K Prize For StrongWebmail Breakin · · Score: 1

    Yes and no, but I'll not continue that. I merely found the concept "legitimate hacking" funny, is legitimate hacking a legitimate business in general?

    ...social engineering is a very legit way to hack a system

    interesting - are there more legit ways to hack a system? I'd like to hack into this bank but preferably without breaking the law...

    No one has been able to isolate a case - if you do it you can get your phd.

    Just make sure you have a ready explanation when your significant other peaks over your shoulder and asks why you have so many ads for ball-gags and jack-straps.

  6. say nothing on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    I gave this some thought when I changed position about 8 month ago because my boss/supervisor was behaving like a jerk. Not only do I have nothing personal against anyone else but also there is a good chance I will want to deal with them again in the future so I decided my best strategy would be to make personal farewells with anyone I knew well and say nothing to people I've rarely spoken with. I keep in touch with several people now, two who contacted me because I hadn't contacted them. Even when I think about the rest in terms of what impression they are likely to have of me, I don't think I could have done much better by talking to them. Surely a ranting email would have made things worse. I'm sure someone else could be in a different position but this is my experience - if they are not worth a personal farewell it's probably better to say nothing.

  7. Re:Count me... on Is Flash Really On 99% of Net Devices? · · Score: 1

    For what definition of "effective" is that? If you don't want to see the flash you don't see the flash in both cases. If you want to see the flash and have flashblock, then you see the flash with a single extra click. For me, at least, that would mean having flash+flashblock is more effective to my surfing purposes. Moreover if I don't have flash (as I recall but it was a long time since) sites and browsers are keen on bugging me about it.
