  1. Re:RouterStation Pro on Open Source Router To Replace WRT54GL? · · Score: 1

    Very attractive! My question, does it come with chassis?

  2. Re:Electronic Music Production on Apple iPad Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative

    You don't understand - the iPad will act as a controller (I would say MIDI controller but a lot of those apps actually use the OSC protocol) and is not meant to run a DAW like Ableton. People will still run their DAWs the usual way - on laptop/desktop machines.

    So it's the iPad not as a host, but a remote device for controlling software running in the host.

  3. Electronic Music Production on Apple iPad Reviewed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In the realm of electronic music production, the iPad is showing a lot of promise.

    This is sort of a big deal amongst electronic musicians, as before the iPad the only similar alternative was the US$2,000+ Jazzmutant Lemur.

  4. Re:No shit on Is the Line-in Jack On the Verge of Extinction? · · Score: 1

    not true in my case. i've owned a behringer mixer (eurorack) for some four years and did not have any issues with it whatsoever.

  5. Not Patience on Can You Fight DRM With Patience? · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can fight DRM not with patience, but with Reason.

  6. Re:this attack finally convinced me on Two Chinese Schools Reportedly Tied To Online Attacks · · Score: 1

    or Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region)

  7. Re:Minutely graphs? on Cacti 0.8 Network Monitoring · · Score: 1

    if you mean the polling time, you just change the cacti cron job to run every 1 minute (default is 5), and in your data source / data template set Step to 60 (secs). usually you also set Heartbeat to 2x that of Step (so 120).

  8. i don't understand on Sherlock Holmes and the Copyright Tangle · · Score: 1

    i don't understand.. why is one of his books being "sold" for free then?

  9. good news everyone! on Become Your Own Heir After Being Frozen · · Score: 1

    good news everyone!

  10. Re:Well... it WAS a problem... on The Machine SID Duplication Myth · · Score: 5, Informative

    Did you mean the SusClientId? AFAIK this is the only identifier WSUS uses to distinguish between computers (they also don't have to be on the same domain).

    On new clones you only need to delete the SusClientId key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate; the update service will take care of assigning the machine a new ID.

  11. Re:and in related news.... on Italian Scientists Put Robot Spiders In Your Colon · · Score: 1

    Or Salo, for that matter.

  12. I'm Thinking.. on Contest Winners Show Potential For Pressure-Sensitive Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Rhythm-based passwords which is also velocity-sensitive. Nice, password complexity determined by how good of a percussionist you are!

  13. Mention of Enigma on 60 Years of Cryptography, 1949-2009 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But none of Alan Turing.

  14. Re:Hrmm on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    Now we know why the Nazgul are afraid of water - they're cyborgs!

  15. Re:Uhh... No. Wrong perspective... on How a Team of Geeks Cracked the Spy Trade · · Score: 1

    Denethor was never corrupted. He fell into despair.

  16. Potential on How the Pirate Bay Will Be Legalized · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thinks this could be a good idea? It gives copyright holders a chance to adapt to the new - possibly better way - to distribute their material. I can imagine big studios (**AA spooks) vehemently demanding that the torrents be removed. But the smaller/indie ones would probably consider it. I mean, their stuff are being downloaded anyway, why not earn from that too?

    And who knows, if this system works for the small guys, the big ones might even change their minds.

  17. Re:Self promotion on The Emerging Science of DNA Cryptography · · Score: 1
    4. Bob reproduces original message

  18. Re:What if.. on Visual Hallucinations Are a Normal Grief Reaction · · Score: 4, Funny

  19. Re:fairness on Bittorrent To Cause Internet Meltdown · · Score: 1

    Random Early Detection sort of fixes this, for TCP and UDP both.

  20. GPS on Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station · · Score: 2, Funny

    The missing spider had GPS, but was unfortunately outside* the service range.

    *above

  21. Re:That's a terrible headline? on Oldest Nuclear Family Found Murdered In Germany · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This is Slashdot sensationalism at its finest.

  22. But.. on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1
  23. To Paraphrase Nick Hornby on Unhappy People Watch More TV · · Score: 1

    Do people watch TV because they are unhappy, or are they unhappy because they watch TV?

  24. Best Blackberry trick ever on (Useful) Stupid BlackBerry Tricks? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Trade it in with a Nokia E71.

  25. Re:Interesting... on Getting Started In Android Game Development · · Score: 1

    MMOs in mobile devices remind me of Charles Stross' Halting State. It also introduces the concept of "servers" as a cloud where data is passed around via a peer-to-peer protocol (fragments of data - encrypted - reside on all players' devices).
