  1. Ouch! on Virginia House Passes UCITA · · Score: 1

    Looks like I won't be buying any software licenced under Virginia state law any time soon.

  2. Re:Big deal on Detecting Stealth Planes · · Score: 1

    This is a slightly fuzzy memory but it is worth the read.

    The Australian radar that picked up the stealth planes is a backscatter radar (over the horizion). It works by bouncing the radar signal off the Ionosphere and then hitting the topside of the plane. (rumor)The stealth plane that was orginaly picked up by the radar was the B2 not the F117. If you look at the difference in the crossection profile of the B2 front on and from the top you will see a huge differnce and that is why it got picked up. (/rumor)

  3. Re:'Linux Desktop' is too ambiguous to be meaningf on Linux in the Enterprise: Fact vs. FUD · · Score: 1

    Damm where are those moderator points when I need them.

    I have to say you are (unfortunately) correct on everything you have said, although there is a hospital/medical managment software package that appears on freshmeat every month or so. But I can't say if it is ready for the bigtime yet.

  4. Quicken Clone on G4 Bug Keeps Them at 500MHz · · Score: 1

    Check Gnucash in the feature list I found this "Quicken files are automatically merged to eliminate duplicate transactions". Let me know if it is what you need.

  5. Re:The Charon Filesystem on Ask Slashdot: Distributed Filesystems for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link, I was looking at Kerbos for my network. But this looks like an option to keep an eye one.

    Nice name,

    Does this mean you will be using an authentication scheme like Kerbos??

  7. Re:Convince your ISP to join MAPS on ISPs and Spam Enforcement... · · Score: 1

    One of the ISP's in Australia has a good idea for this. They own their name in both the .net.au and .com.au domains. One is RBL's and one isn't, you give the Non-RBL one to your friends and your RBL'd one to the web page forms and usenet etc..

  8. Tinkering in the Lab....... on More Moderation Madness · · Score: 1

    I like your "Hey moderator" idea, but with a small twist. Also have it float up towards the top of the list (for the current moderators only), so it makes it easier for them to pick up or smack down your post. Which ever is more apropriate.

    There are times I worry for Commander Taco. He must have the most demanding customers, with an annoying tendancy for wanting feature creep.

  9. Mainstream lurkers.. on Sun's StarOffice Release: Not Open Source · · Score: 1

    Yeah they lurk alright.

    When the Hotmail backdoor hit the proverbial fan, BBC World (the BBC's international news/etc channel) had a story on it complete with Slashdot sitting in the background. They where reasonably accruate to explain just how simple it was to get in.

  10. Re:Linux == Unix, Linux != W2K on Home Depot tests Linux for remote mangament of PCs · · Score: 1

    Nice story link you put there...

  11. Re:Contact Lenses on Retina-Scan ATM Machines · · Score: 1

    But what about those novelty contacts? You know cat slits, biohazad symbols and alike that completely obscure the iris. But as long as it can handle the full eye chrome set I'm looking at I will be happy.

  12. Re:Alternative... on Retina-Scan ATM Machines · · Score: 1

    No need to worry, even evil twin brothers have different fingerprints. Fingerprints are influenced by your development in the womb rather
    than your genetics. (Warning this information was retrived from an unreliable source, my memory).
