Call yourself a nerd? Alice is Dilbert's violent cow-orker and Bob is a large green dinosaur they found behind the couch when they correctly deduced that dinosaurs didn't go extinct but just went into hiding. Sheesh, I thought everyone knew that.
I have to agree that Cuil is a pretty lame name. However, I think Google is already so well known that, even if another search engine grabs a significant chunk of the market, people will still refer to any web search as "Googling". Just as vacuum cleaners from Electrolux, Panasonic or Dyson get called Hoovers and public address systems get called Tannoys even though Tannoy haven't built PA systems for years.
If he's a spammer and a geek, I'd suggest the public would be a danger to him if they get to him first, the baseball bat with nails in approach to the problem of spam.
You might find this document interesting http://www.fai.org/gliding/system/files/tech_spec_gnss.pdf it is a spec for devices doing more or less what you want to do. And there are lots of applications to process the.igc files generated by these secure recorders.
I don't play WoW. I do, however, run Zonealarm. Now, a fresh Zonealarm install will tell you that loads of Windows services are asking to open ports on to the big bad internet. All of these are open by default on the Mickey Mouse Microsoft firewall, because "they're Microsoft services and none of them could possibly be a security risk". As I recall there have been a metric fuckton of patches for many of the default Windows services since SP2.
I rest my case.
I'd mod you funny if I had modpoints. I think he probably meant no router/firewall, Microsoft's toy firewall enabled by default in SP2 is about as effective protection as a wet paper bag would be against a rocket propelled grenade. Or for the Slashdot crowd who only understand car analogies, as good a protection as a Ford Pinto crashed into by an express train.
Yeah, I used to use OpenDNS, then someone on/. pointed out that www.google.com resolved to an IP address in an OpenDNS IP block if looked up through OpenDNS. I checked and it did, don't know if it still does. I don't particularly fancy anyone spoofing, proxying or logging my Google searches, thank you very much.
Does anyone know if the backdoor has been made a little more user friendly? The current one takes like 3 minutes to decrypt without the password.
I don't know, why don't you examine the source code for yourself? You can download it here: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads2.php
Or you could just quit trolling and spreading FUD.
You're right, and if you'd RTFA they did mention CSIRAC, it's just that no one thought to make a recording of CSIRAC and TFA is about the oldest recording.

They are dicks, but don't deserve to die quickly and painlessly.
There, fixed that for you.
We have already. They are called Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
They would be insignificant specks in the ocean compared to Project Habakkuk if it had been built.
Low gravity causes loss of bone density, muscle atrophy ... weakened immune systems, and gastrointestinal complications.
And those are about as welcome as a fart in a space-suit.

Ah, but no documentary on beans would be complete without the clip from "Blazing Saddles". Would it then be G rated?
Are you suggesting they promised him cake?

I'm glad you were joking, maybe sufficiently advanced sarcasm is indistinguishable from FUD?

Oh, how I wish I had mod points right now.
Hmmmm, pointy.
Well, I have to call bullshit, every business meeting I ever went to in France was conducted in English, and I was working for a half French company!
I don't know, 260 posts about silicon spheres and no one has mentioned Horta eggs. Kids these days, now get off my lawn.
Instead of "Dos ain't done until Lotus won't run." how about "Hotmail ain't done until Firefox won't run."
Good point Marc, I hadn't noticed, there's so much terrible spelling on /. puns can fade into the background.
Really? I would say his sig implies he's a sockpuppet since a UID > 1.2e6 wouldn't have been around in 1999 (not as a moderator anyways).

Hey, it was funny and on-topic, more or less.
Aargh, my first Rick rolling, nice one. Please mod parent funny. (Note to self, don't click links during or after drinking fine Single Malt).
I thought they changed their name from "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha"?
