  2. And I always thought that this was about spending$ on Daylight Saving Change Saved No Power · · Score: 1

    I thougth that this DST change was to get people "outside" enjoying the sun for a few more weeks a year, thereby spending more money for outdoor sports equipment.

  3. Re:Googleearth and googlemaps the same for me on Google Using Pre-Katrina Imagery on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Google has a special page http://earth.google.com/katrina.html for the katrina data, but now some of the links on that page report "Sorry! The Katrina Hurricane Overlay service has been suspended. To stop showing this message, please disable the Network Link you downloaded. For more information on how you can help the victims of the recent hurricanes, please see: http://www.redcross.org/news/ds/hurricanes/katrina _facts.html" in google earth.

  4. Re:What on Oracle Sues SAP for Spidering Their Support Site · · Score: 1

    I guess that depends on what you call "programming" - I know many engineers that have been writting embedded software that would have no reason to have to come across (in fact they would want to avoid) such software.

  5. so what happened??? on Spammer Can't Have Accuser's Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    The referenced order by the judge said the order must be completed within 20 days from the 9th of June, 2006. -- The article doesn't say what happened, never mind that the title is wrong, and hasn't been corrected!

  6. Re:cscope and Source Navigator on Source Code Browsing Tools? · · Score: 1

    Well, there were some comments w.r.t. snav, but I didn't see them because I often read at level 4.
    There weren't that many comments, and the worse that was said was it used TCL :-)

  7. cscope and Source Navigator on Source Code Browsing Tools? · · Score: 1

    I use cscope (and vi) as they are both curses based. Vim has a cscope mode too!
    I am surprised though that there wasn't a mention of Source Navigator http://sourcenav.sourceforge.net/

    What is Source-Navigator?:
    Source-Navigator is a source code analysis tool. With it, you can edit your source code, display relationships between classes and functions and members, and display call trees.

  10. Re:happened to me on Growth of Wi-Fi Opens New Path for Thieves · · Score: 1

    Would there be any way to listen in on what your laptop was doing when it was online - and use that info to identify the user?

  11. Re:ZigBee was not design for home automation on Coming Soon: ZigBee Control by PDA · · Score: 1

    I'd like to here more why the ZigBee design point assumes a relatively static configuration.

  12. backdoor on Author signs MyDoom virus · · Score: 1

    Why don't we hear more about the backdoor features, couldn't these systems with open backdoors be remotely patched to remove the virus, or do the backdoors have keys?

    Would anyone communicating to the backdoor be suspected of being the author?

  13. cast member with hands hidden in video 3 on Walking Animatronic Dinosaur At Disney Park · · Score: 1

    look at video 3
    and you can see one of the cast members with their hands behind their back the whole time

  14. anti-leach FAQ has banner add for an ad-blocker! on Slashback: Panama, Leeches, Comeuppance · · Score: 1

    I went the the FAQ and I got a very appropriate
    banner add at the bottom of the screen - sometimes they get it right :-)

  15. Re:That GUID on WMP? Yeah . . . on Microsoft to Focus on Security · · Score: 1

    I had the option turned off and the demo tool
    still was able to extract a UUID code

  16. they don't support lynx either on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    I just tried to access msn.com with
    lynx
    and I don't even get to see the rejected
    message unless I download and examine
    the text file they send.

  17. what about using rsync style checksums on Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse vs Spam · · Score: 1

    http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/
    and
    http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/tech_report/
    discuss the "rolling checksum" that is used in the rsync technology - as the file is checksummed in pieces, a counter would have to be placed in each piece.

  18. Re:Shooting the Messenger? The consumer pays... on MSNBC: Stealing Credit Card Numbers Online is Easy · · Score: 1

    I've seen this said several times now
    "it is not the consumer's problem"

    The consumer always pays...

    Any cost the merchant incurs is passed on to
    the consumer. So you pay for my losses, and
    I pay for yours :-) It's just averaged out.
