  1. Re:So this is what our tax dollars go to... on DOD Kicks Up Cybersecurity Efforts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I had moderator points, you would be at -1 right now instead of 0.

    This is the best way to learn security, by applying the "book learned" concepts to the real world. In fact, this is exactly what we did for the final project in the Computer Security course that I took as part of my MS in Computing program at Marquette.

    It also reinforced a very important concept -- people are the weakest link. We got the other group to send us passwords by faking an email in the instructor's name!

  2. I give it to kids to get them to go to sleep! on City Officials Almost Ban Foam Cups · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize what I was doing! My wife and I have given this to our children at night to get them to go to sleep.

  3. Software Testing Class Site on A Bible for Software Testing? · · Score: 1

    Check out this class site:
    http://www.eng.mu.edu/corlissg/198.2001/
    T here is a lot of useful information including the required and recommended texts along with other resources.

  4. Re:House Calls on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    You are a far better person than I am. I couldn't do it and I hope if I ever need help the paramedic is as dedicated as you.

  5. Re:Life Imitates Jokes on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    When I was stationed in North Dakota we had a female pilot who demanded we use the term "flight deck" when she was flying. The alternative term we settled on was "Box Office"

    You can imagine the response when she called in that the crack detector light was illuminated on her aiplane! (At the time the -135 had an acoustical crack detection system because of cracking in the wings)

  6. AOL CD's on Favor Ideas for a Geeky Wedding? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You could decorate the entire hall with them and I'm sure you could get thousands and thousands of them for free!

  7. Re:Second post and... on How Looks Your Geekroom? · · Score: 1

    Hector wouldn't fetch, he wouldn't do much of anything, but he did like straight Tequila!

  8. Re:Don't worry about it on What Software Do Cable Installers Place on Your PC? · · Score: 1

    If you are really worried, boot your (Windows) computer from the floppy and type:

    fdisk/mbr

    That is a thermonuclear solution to termites but it is very effective!

  9. Just Going for a Walk on "Living robot" Escapes Lab, Makes It To...Parking Lot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps, Gaak, after recovering from his wounds, was feeling better and just went for a walk! (or roll)

  10. Cringley: Brush up on your clock skills! on Code Red! All Hands to Battle Stations! · · Score: 1

    Mr. Cringley states in his article that 7:00 pm Eastern time is Midnight (or 2400) Greenwich Mean Time. We are are on Daylight Savings Time so it is actually 8:00 pm Eastern and 5:00 pm Pacific time before the fun begins. Use your extra hour wisely!

  11. China in violation of international treaty on Hyperreality: The U.S-China Standoff · · Score: 2

    There are rules as to how interceptions of aircraft are to be conducted. These rules are part of the ICAO treaty (International Civil Aeronautics Organization) China has signed this treaty. It is the responsibility of the intercepting aircraft (the Chinese fighters) to stay clear of the intercepted aircraft (the Navy plane) Also flying two aircraft in close vertical proximity is extremely dangerous due to the the interrelated aerodynamic forces (THEY GET SUCKED TOGETHER AND COLLIDE!) Once again, it is the responsibility of the interceptor to stay clear of the intercepted.

  12. Electronic Price Tag Alteration on Electronic Pricetag Alteration · · Score: 1

    I can't believe that the on-line sellers weren't aware of this! This was clearly mentioned in the book "Hacking Exposed". A blind monkey having a bad hair day could pull this off!
