  1. Pun Intended on Patriot Act Clouds Picture For Tech · · Score: 1

    Pun Intended

  2. Just Remove It! on Red Hat's Linux Changes Raise New Questions · · Score: 1

    What's to stop you from removing the system logger you don't like and installing whatever you want?? See: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=9

  3. Customize on Ask Slashdot: Networked Back-Up/Wipe Process? · · Score: 1

    You can write a script to SSH to each machine, copy whatever you need then wipe it. Wiping the machine remotely is the problem, there's a good article from Linux Journal by Kyle Rankin that describes a good way to do this. It's pretty recent (maybe two months ago), I haven't been able to find it on their website.

  4. RHEL 5 on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    I don't hate my IT department, I hate RHEL5. (They have good reasons for not upgrading to RHEL6 yet)

  5. Re:This actually makes sense on Intel Breathes New Life Into Pentium · · Score: 1

    Actually, a server is one of the few places I actually want an integrated graphics chip

    You don't need graphics on a server, just use ssh

  6. Re:Frequency hopping on Bionic Implants and Spectrum Clash · · Score: 1

    Receiver complexity and cost.

  7. Really?? on Google Upgrades WebP To Challenge PNG Image Format · · Score: -1, Troll

    Smaller images on the page mean faster page loads.

    Really?

  8. Re:Unlikely on Engineers Create World's Lightest Material · · Score: 1

    0.9mg/cm^3

    mg/cm^3 are the dumbest units, why not g/m^3?

  9. Not Really Possible on Steve Jobs Wanted an iPhone-Only Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    The article doesn't mention anything regarding how this would actually work. There's no infrastructure and just because you don't need a license to operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band doesn't mean you can just do whatever the hell you want, there are still rules.

  10. Re:At this point on German Copyright Group To Collect From Creative Commons Event · · Score: 1

    It has become necessary that we all ignore copyrights from this point on

    Yes, it's called piracy.

  11. Re:You are doing it wrong on Adobe Ends Development of Flash On Mobile Browsers · · Score: 1

    You are not supposed to use a browser on an Apple device. You have to download a 99 cent app for every webpage you want to visit.

    Fixed that for you.

  12. Re:Linux isn't untweakable on In Favor of FreeBSD On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Compiling a BSD kernel is actually most simple, and much more simple than compiling a Linux kernel.

    go on....

  13. Re:Use Gentoo on In Favor of FreeBSD On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I don't want to be bothered with some inconsistencies like Gentoo often has in their Portage.

    Like what?

  14. Re:Can you dual boot a phone? on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    I dual boot my n900 with Maemo and Android

  15. Source on Wi-Fi Cards Can Now Detect Microwave Ovens · · Score: 1

    So where's the source code for this?

  16. Windows Key on Decoding the Inscrutable Logos On Your Electronics · · Score: 3, Informative

    Does this guy realize that he just published his windows 7 product key?

  17. Re:Area? on Bill Would Make Carriers Publish 4G Data Speeds · · Score: 1

    The speed you can get also depends on the wireless propagation channel. If you're right next to a cell tower you get a lower error rate than if you're in a shadow, fade or something like that.

  18. Re:Seems to be the same as the Wired Article on Statistician Cracks Code For Lottery Tickets · · Score: 2

    You're right. I read the this article in wired earlier this week! Even all the images are the same and they didn't remove this line from TFA: "In one of his most recent trials, conducted at the request of Wired," This is real copyright infringement.

  19. Re:Only $8 Million ? on US Begins Sophisticated Wireless Jamming Project · · Score: 1

    Bullshit on you. This system isn't about jamming pagers and cell phones. That technology already exists and has existed. This is about jamming cognitive radios in war theaters and perhaps this is about jamming illegal secondary access users in dynamic spectrum access scenarios.

  20. Re:Documentation is very lacking on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    Man pages are only semi-useful if you ALREADY KNOW WHAT COMMAND YOU NEED.

    Try man -k

  21. So Just tunnel over HTTP on First European Provider To Break Net Neutrality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Someone mentioned that they would be upset if their SSH sessions slow down. Well, just tunnel ssh over http http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/

  22. Re:Ernie Ball on Why the BSA Is Less Reviled Than the RIAA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sure you can have lots of RAM for quite cheap, but most people won't ever need that much RAM.

    Yeah no one will ever need that much RAM, 640K ought to be enough for anybody.

  23. Re:The Irony on Is the Federal Government the Most Interesting Tech Startup For 2009? · · Score: 1

    way to answer my question. So as of now, only you are making these claims.

  24. Re:The Irony on Is the Federal Government the Most Interesting Tech Startup For 2009? · · Score: 1

    well-known clueless fraud? Who has said that besides you?

  25. Kundra's Credentials on Is the Federal Government the Most Interesting Tech Startup For 2009? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Kundra is at worst a fraud and at best someone who is clueless. Listen to some of the things this guy says. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2009/08/12/special-report-is-us-chief-information-officer-cio-vivek-kundra-a-phony/
