  1. Actually, on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 2

    Sesame Street has stopped the `bart is evil` website!

  2. Re:This is bad why? on GOVNET In the Works · · Score: 1

    Not only that - not doubt it`ll be impossible to surf/post anonymously. Slowly everything will be shifted onto it, and the `old` net will be where all the porn, warez etc it. Guess what will happen to that?

  3. Re:My favorite part... on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, they`re not gay!

    http://www.snopes2.com/radiotv/tv/gaymupp.htm

  4. perhaps an Anthrax attack on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Well, there was one guy dead, from around the same area that Atta came from. Looks like a classic `we can do this - heres proof`. But the US government have said its not. Hell, thats proof enough for me. Its GOT to be a coincidence!

    `Shop as usual.....and avoid panic buying` - Negativland.

  5. Re:Not useful in a loud nightclub on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately my only attempt at using SMS in such a situation (Carnival, a couple of years ago) just showed how easy it is to saturate a network if 80%+ of the revellers all have phones turned on at the same time!

  6. Re:SMS messages... on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 1

    How about a method of converting speech into SMS? That way, instead of spending 10 pence on a 5 minute off-peak phone call, you could instead spend it on a 160 characters text message. Now thats progress!

  7. Telepathy on UK Issues High-tech Stamps · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Theres been a bit of a hoo-ha about the fact that the accompanying booklet has stuff about telepathy in it.

    http://www.observer.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,5 60 604,00.html

  8. Re:I'd boycott but... on NSync Copy Protected CD · · Score: 1

    "won't let you return an opened cd"

    How long do i have to stand in the front of the queue and make a big loud fuss before they change their mind?
    Also, depending on where you live, you may be entitled to your money back. In the UK we often get shops saying its `not their policy` to give money back in certain situations. Fortunately, the 1979 Sale Of Goods Act means you get to tell them exactly where to stick their policy.

  9. Re:No more epic albums on Music Industry Forcing WMA standard? · · Score: 1

    Moby? Underground? His most recent cd was the first one *ever* to have every single track licensed for adverts, soundtracks, trails etc.
    I think you meant `michael jackson`. His early, experimental work with Cage and Riley is awesome...

  10. Re:Bush's Orwellian Address on What's Now State of the Art in Encryption Technology? · · Score: 2

    What does a piece of badly written fiction have to do with...anything?

  11. Deniable encryption on What's Now State of the Art in Encryption Technology? · · Score: 1

    Such as www.rubberhose.org

  12. Re:They would get my $120. on Gameboy Advance Frontlight Success · · Score: 1

    Get a Glowguard. £10 in the UK, probably $10 in the states.

  13. Re:VERY IMPORTANT: Mori poll was dodgey on Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... mori or a website....mori....website...

    its a tricky one, isnt it?

  14. Re:while we're at it on Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words · · Score: 1

    `Suicide bombing art show`

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/a rt s/newsid_1564000/1564188.stm

  15. Its a thin line between on Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words · · Score: 2, Funny

    fighting for privacy, and wearing a silly hat!

  16. Re:reality mediator on Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words · · Score: 1

    On the downside, he looks *absolutely ridiculous*! Or is this some post-modern thing?

  17. Re:32-bit system on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    oh yeah, make sure you remove the space which slashdot helpfully adds to URLS. its just before the equals sign. anyway, there should be no spaces in it.

  18. Re:32-bit system on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    I`ve seen movies of 4x4 (which you can download, possibly from that very site) and it IS 3d!

  19. Re:But does it make it right? on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    The right to not *have to* carry a piece of identification if you dont want to.

  20. Re:32-bit system on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    GBA will support 3d as well as 2d games:

    http://www.smallrockets.com/gba/offroaders/
    http://www.computerandvideogames.com/story.cfm?s id =3161

    If you think the GBA isnt very advanced...well, its the most advanced handheld console around. So not very advanced compared to what?

  21. Re:Name `PGP` on Philip Zimmermann and 'Guilt' Over PGP · · Score: 1

    Good idea (about `security`) - except of course that its possible to have `secure` (ie untampered with) emails by digitally signing them.

  22. Re:Taleban! on Philip Zimmermann and 'Guilt' Over PGP · · Score: 1

    Lars, please, theres a time and a place for Metallica lyrics, and frankly I dont think its *this* thread on *this* site...

  23. Name `PGP` on Philip Zimmermann and 'Guilt' Over PGP · · Score: 1

    Do you regret not calling PGP something like `Knife` or `Law`, so the clueless would perhaps be more likely to be aware of the fact that it could be used for good AND evil?

  24. why blame PGP on Blaming Encryption · · Score: 1

    Why stop there? Why not blame the guy who created the HTML format. Or blame the US gov for developing Arpanet. Or Turing?
    The word `algorithm` comes from an Arabian guy a long time ago...perhaps this will be used as an excuse too? Wouldnt be too suprised...

  25. Deniable encryption on How Would Crypto Back Doors Work? · · Score: 1

    "So, anyone who wants Internet privacy under this regime must hide the fact that they are hiding data"

    Or hide that data inside a file which contains multiple encrypted data streams. Sure, theres encrypted data in it - you can even decrypt one stream to show that its just something harmless, but how many other streams are hidden in the same file? Check out www.rubberhose.org.
