  1. Re:Need a new metaphor on Next Gen Phishing Improves on Simple Spam · · Score: 1

    Social engineering like phishing is plain old black hat hacking too.

  2. Keylogger required on HSBC Online Banking Security Flaw Analyzed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So if i have a keylogger on my machine and i log into my online bank, it will log the details i put in and comprimise my online banking?

    no shit sherlock.

  3. Load Average of 84? on YouTube Killer (Media Portal w/ Revenue Sharing) · · Score: 1

    looks like they are a little busy after all this spamming they've been doing.

  4. Does anyone else think... on PS3 to Sell at Over $800 in UK · · Score: 1

    That this thing will sell at $800 _anyway_. Its the PS3, Playstation has enough fanboi's to sell out the console a couple of times over, no matter what it costs for a Q4 06 launch.

    People want these things, and _will_ part with $800 to get one, even just to stick it on ebay straight away - knowing that some daft bugger is going to pay even more for it.

  5. Easter eggs on OpenOffice Bloated? · · Score: 1

    Apparently the built in flight simulator easter egg in OO is slow too.

  6. Re:Indemnification on SCO Derides GPL, Will Revoke SGI's UNIX License · · Score: 1

    SCO actually has customers? I thought it's business model revolved around filing lawsuits against other three-letter-abreviations with the intent of improving thier stock price so thier execs could sell at a profit.

    Dont tell me they actually have customers now? Own up, who brought that Linux License?

  7. nice to see them using a BT link on Fanimatrix - The Matrix Re-done By Fans · · Score: 1

  9. PA Crash was casued by passengers on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    apparently a man on his cellphone called his family and told him about the WTC attacks, he took a poll of the male passengers on board and they stormed the cock pit.

    if they did that rather than allow them to hit the white house or soemthing - they deserve some sort of medal.

  10. Re:What is a Slashdot? on Sean In The Middle · · Score: 1

    Looks /.ed to me :)

  11. Frames on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    Patent frames... i did it first with two lynx browsers open side by side back in the days... i originated it - and i also have a film of me doing it, so i can patent the idea right?

  12. Re:hmmmn.... on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1

    solaris is solid enough on i386 too.

  13. Quake by ram. on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1
    Okay so its off topic

    Create a ram disk on a win32 machine and install quake to it - the dir only has to be like 70Mb so something - so if your running round with like 256 its no problem, then play quake.

    It flies :)

  14. cubicles vs open plan on What Kind of Office Space Do You Want to Work In? · · Score: 1

    How i long for my cubicle. I now work in an open plan office, which i hate - there is no availiable customisation of my workspace, plants get moved or knocked over, my monitor toys get moved or stolen, the layout of my desk is played with, i have to lock my drawers etc. I get blasted by other peoples desk fans, and blasted by thier heaters in the winter. I have no shelving, because there are no cubical walls around my desk. In a cubicle i was free to put up whatever posters calenders, userfriendly cartoons as i liked. i could control my environment with fans or heaters without affecting others in the office, i did not feel like my boss was watching over my shoulder, i was far more productive, possetions were much safer, and my machine was never ever used by others. How i long for my cubicle That fluoro lighting has to go... i just turned my office ones off and had a cheer. That says it all really. Why do my colleagues insist on having all the blinds shut? One day i am just going to take them all down. then see if they do anything. Why do people insist on having thier monitors facing the windows anyway if they can't see the screen - move it so you _can_ see it, dont shut out all natural light for fucks sake.

    its the ridiculous amout of users who think that internet = www + email

    they forget it all, IRC, ftp, usenet, even MUD's and MUSH's via telnet - who remembers gopher? and who uses it now?

  20. i want the camera one on MP3 Player in a Watch · · Score: 1

    okies so it doesn't *look* good but imagine the possibilitys :) you could get photos in all kind of places, anytime there is that kodak moment.

    didn't mention a port out for the camera watch though :(

    the idea of the mp3 watch doesn't appeal - i'd rather listen to an mp3 walkman type affair, rather than have my head tethered to my wrist, and i dont use MS Outlook, so i don't really have much use for the PIM one :)

  21. Re:I think hes probably correct on Scott Kurtz Blasts Comic Strips on Tech Support · · Score: 1

    not really... i work in tech support and it is not my job to teach people how to use their computers and hence i dont see my job as being anything like a school teacher.

    i can laugh at what and whom i like, people laugh at others misfortunes and misgivings all the time, why should us techs be any different?
