  1. Re:How does this work? on US Government Using PS3s To Break Encryption · · Score: 1

    Without encryption, it can be done with http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html/ which can be found on the ultimate boot CD as well. I've used it a few times to get into machines where users have forgotten their passwords. It will reset/eliminate the multi-attempt lockout. There's others out there as well that do the same thing.

  2. Meanwhile in Chicago... on Texas Teen Arrested Under New Online Harassment Law · · Score: 1

    Kids are murdering each other in the street using something other than words... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/13/record-36-students-killed-this-school-year-across-/

  3. Popcorn Hour on What To Do With a Free Xbox 360 Pro? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sell it, and buy a popcorn hour. Simple. http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/ With that said, I have a 360 and the netflix streaming is very very nice, but no substitute for a popcorn hour and torrents.

  4. Re:And California is releasing the "non violent" on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 1

    Watched "The Union" this weekend. Very very enlightening. Highly recommended (no pun intended). They really do a great job of explaining the whole history of the drug laws in the US and Canada. They also bring up a lot of great points in regards to organized crime and why it's so prevalent. and It is available via netflix "view it now".

  5. Re:Story? on Avatar, Has Sci-fi Found Its Heaven's Gate? · · Score: 1

    Coincidentally, I was at Universal Studios Hollywood this weekend and they still had that damn waterworld live show still playing! I didn't pay to go see that either...

  6. Re:Talk about your catch 22 on Real-World Consequences of Social Networking Posts · · Score: 1

    "The problem with racial profiling isn't when the people are actually criminals, it's when they're not. It's unjust for innocent people to be subjected to extra scrutiny just because people like them are acting badly."

    QFT.

    This is one of the most simple, yet profound explanations of why profiling is a bad thing.

    Now, if we can get the rest of our people to start acting right, maybe this profiling stuff will end....

  7. Re:Moon on District 9 Rises From the Ashes of Halo · · Score: 1

    I agree about Sunshine. However, If Danny Boyle hadn't turned it into a "slasher-flick in space" near the end it would have been much much better. The frequent camera flashes and other nonsense kind of messed it up for me. But overall it was a very good sci-fi film.

    Moon was spectacular, (Sam Rockwell....well, rocks :-) and I really look forward to Duncans' next film.

  8. Re:It's all in what you eat on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1
    Parent is 100% spot on right. Let me tell you about my situation. I had been steadily gaining weight since 1994. Started around 190 and ended up at 280 before I'd finally had enough. Switched to low carb (atkins specifically) and started working out a few times a week. I've lost 60+ pounds since Sep. 08 and kept it off. I went from 44" waist to 38" in that time. My health has improved drastically and overall I feel great.

    Cut out the sodas... if you have to drink something besides water, try crystal light or wylers light. Or if you must have the carbonation, try Coke Zero or Sprite Zero. Give low carb/ high protein a try and don't believe all those BS stories about it ruining you kidneys or stuff like that.

    Get the atkins book and the atkins cookbooks. There are tons of them around and people are selling them dirt cheap on Amazon now that the low carb "fad" is over...

    There's a lot of resources online. One I like to go to is http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ The lady has a ton of really really good recipes.

  9. Re:Screaming SSNs in a crowded store! on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod... That's my real SSN! And you've just broadcast it on the whole interweb!

  10. Re:pirate repellents on Mariners Develop High Tech Pirate Repellents · · Score: 1

    As a former marine, I can tell you this.... Marines will sleep anywhere. I used to catch a lot of shuteye under/inside a turning CH-53e while waiting for other birds to launch. A connex box would be a luxury. And as a matter of fact, we used them for shops (workspaces) a lot of times anyway. Easy to transport, they aren't too heavy to offload via 53e/ch46, pretty roomy inside and protected from the elements. As far as food goes, MRE's are delicious and nutritious. I friggin love 'em. Even as a civilian I "procure" them whenever I can for camping and survival rats. Problem solved.

  11. Re:IN KOREA on South Korea Joins the "Three Strikes" Ranks · · Score: 1

    It's been done before.... way back in the AOL days in the warez chatrooms. You want something, ask and then you immediately get like 20 1.44mb files in your email. I see a return to this someday maybe.

  12. Re:Fallen and can't get up... on Honda Assists With "Next Steps" For Mankind · · Score: 1

    It's made by honda... it'll never break down.

  13. Re:Scientific community? on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 1

    The Earth can be any shape you want it

    Any shape at all

    Dark and cold or bright and warm

    Long or thin or small

    But it's home and all I ever had

    and maybe why for me the Earth is flat

  14. Re:nas not really on Atom-Based Mini-ITX Motherboard Available · · Score: 1

    I highly recommend FreeNAS. I run mine on a 600mhz celeron w/ gig-e and a couple of old IDE drives. It has performed flawlessly for over a year. Boot from CDROM, save settings to USB...done.

  15. Re:I'm in the Navy; my perspective on this. on Convincing the Military to Embrace Open Source · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer- I am an Air Force contractor. We have many flavors of linux/unix running in our lab, IRIX/Redhat/Solaris etc... but the one thing that they all have in common is the fact that they are supported by a company. What everyone seems to be missing here is the fact that if something goes "horribly wrong," the government is going to be looking for someone to point the finger at and kick in the ass. We run a few open source applications, but only after they have gone through a pretty stringent code review. I agree that there is a learning curve for most personnel whenever a new product comes on line, but that's what they have us contractors for!

  16. Re:Peace of mind on Ham Radio Operators Are Heroes In Oregon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If James Kim had a $100.00 handheld GPS with him, things would have been different.

  17. Re:I'm no behavioral researcher... on Monkeys and Cognitive Dissonance · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would think that being a monkey and getting to eat M&M's all day would be reward enough.
