  1. Re:Show of hands... on How Do You Land a Nuke-Powered Mini-Cooper On Mars? · · Score: 1

    So if I have to ask who Colm Meaney is, which card will I be required to turn in?

    We apologize [citation needed] for the inconvenience [citation needed] this has caused [citation needed].

  3. I learned a lot from this article on The Dark Side of the Web · · Score: 4, Funny

    The author explains that there is a lot of content behind password protected sites. I had no idea that google didn't know your password!

    I heard something about a robots.txt file somewhere before, but I thought that all robots where smarter than me anyway.

    I also learned about something called freeweb that may or may not be used for good or bad things. I then learned about TOR which also may or may not be used for good or bad things.

    This article really opened my eyes to the vastness of the Internets

  4. Not only insecure, WORTHLESS on Why "Verified By Visa" System Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    I recently made a purchase through newegg.com. Used my trusty VISA, was redirected to the VbyV site, realized I didn't know my password, clicked cancel and figured the transaction was done when I canceled out of the VbyV. Got my Discover and completed the transaction. Low and behold, what shows up in my email, but two tracking numbers for identical shipments with both my Visa and Discover getting charged!
    After some investigating with both newegg and my bank, turns out that the merchant can choose what to do when they get a failed VbyV transaction.

    Talk about a perfect "no it's their fault" situation

    Next on "security theater"...

  7. Re:5 Microsoft versions of Linux on Microsoft Buys Teamprise, Will Ship Linux Tools · · Score: 1

    Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious wouldn't work as a version name, b/c it's more than 8 characters. Somewhere it would be chopped to Supercal, which coincidentally is also the name of the only CAL you can by for Server 2013.

  8. PBI has always been free. on Google Gives the Gift of Free Airport Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    West Palm Beach (PBI) has always been free. Paid for by the county / city. I've flown in and out of there several times.

  9. Marking the occasion on Geocities Shutting Down Today · · Score: 5, Funny

    Based on the design, it looks like slashdot is marking the occasion too....what....it always looks like this?

  10. What's the assumption? on Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    Is it assumed that the Windows PC Is running Windows? I have a couple of HP d51s P4 machines running different flavors of linux and a Dell Optiplex something running MythTV. All of those have OEM Windows stickers and might or might not qualify as a "Windows PC", while none of them are actually running Windows.

  11. Re:Queue the Microsoft OS Jokes on CA City Mulls Evading the Law On Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Making fun of using the wrong cue by a Microsoft basher is like shooting fish in a barrel.

    This is wonderful news! I should have the backing of environmentalists behind my plan of attaching lasers to sharks!

    so that's not my wife's emergency feminine hygiene product in my glove box? Smart, very smart.

  18. Re:Art school or no... on Keeping a PC Personal At School? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the art school knows about laptops and chooses desktops on a cart as technically comparative but sturdier and slightly more inconvenient to encourage students to purchase and subsequently abuse their own laptop.

  19. Re:Servers... on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1

    Amen to this. We just built an annex to our building and I relocated all the servers there. I was asked by administration when I was going to relocate the rest of the servers so the janitors could have their closets back... Nevermind that someone before me thought a good location for network closets are janitor closets, or the fact that there are several hundred wires in these rooms... They are all servers.

    FWIW:

    This works great on machines that don't have windows firewall active. If windows firewall is active, you get a "no response" from the script.
