  1. Make: Electronics on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Make Magazine came out with a pretty good book last year. The component packs are pretty good too.

    http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=9780596153748

  2. I have a small list I'd like to see come back on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    X-wing and Tie Fighter have been listed

    Full Throttle

    But most of all, the game that they (the bean counters) said wouldn't work, because no one would pay a monthly fee to to play games online:
    Quest For Glory (aka HeroQuest)

  3. Like a few others I say Kettlebell on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    I'm doing a program right now, 4 days a week. It's called Enter the Kettlebell. Art Of Strength http://http//www.artofstrength.com has a good work book to do the exercises. The site has a lot of good stuff on it, like how to pick the right size bell, etc.

    As for the workbook workout, 2 days the work out lasts 22 minutes, the other 2, 15 minutes. You get worked hard in that time though. it's not easy. I'd using 24kg to do the work. That's the first 4 weeks. I haven't been able to make it to the second set yet (8 weeks).

    You can also get the AOS follow along DVDs, which take between 45 minutes to an hour to do.

    It's not hard to stay in shape. You just have to be willing to work hard, and eat clean.

  4. Re:Creating robots is a bad idea! on Small Robots Could Build Landing Site For Moon Base · · Score: 1

    "The Two Faces of Tomorrow" by James P. Hogan is the first thing that came to my mind.

  5. Re:I'm afraid they're too late on White House Ordered to Preserve All Email · · Score: 1

    They will probably simply find another way to communicate that has less of a trail.

    They already did using the blackberry's and other devices. It's already been documented that those devices went through the RNC servers instead of the White House servers.

  6. Astronomy Hacks on Entry-Level Astronomy? · · Score: 1

    browse a copy of astronomy hacks. I got my copy from amazon.com

  7. Re:Arggg! on Storm Botnet Is Behind Two New Attacks · · Score: 1

    Actually some Linux Distro's do have open ports. One of the first things I do when I install a distro at work is run nmap to get a list, and then start closing them ports I don't want open. Usually those are Redhat / RPM based distros.

    I do the same thing at home. Where I run Debian / Dpkg distros.

  8. Re:Yeah obvious FUD article on Forensics On a Cracked Linux Server · · Score: 1

    You don;t see Technorait or Bruce Perens' site posting garbage like this ever so why slashdot editors can't see thru it i dont kno.
    Maybe not, but I did see this on Bruce Schneier's Blog last week or so.

  9. Re:sendmail vs postfix on Linux System Administration · · Score: 3, Informative

    The argument they used in the book, page 22, is "...Sendmail has many of the security problems listed on the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) list hosted at http://cve.mitre.org./"

    I did a quick search on the site. Sendmail has 69 listed, while Postfix has 10. I'm not saying the book is right, I'm just saying how they made the argument.
