  1. vi on Review: The Mummy Returns · · Score: 1

    No thats just the basic list of commands for using vi. Hell O'reilly even published a book on it.

  2. Re:anyone know... on Wiretapping, The Year in Review · · Score: 2

    Don't do anything illegal since most people don't get their phones tapped for the hell of it.

  3. If you on Wiretapping, The Year in Review · · Score: 1

    If you had the power to spy on anyone you wanted without them knowing, would you? Everything starts out with good intentions but eventually gets corrupted.

  4. its a concept on Zero to Rutabaga in 6 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Its purely just a concept car made to show that its possible. Same with the hemp car and used french fry grease car.

  5. stealing on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    If its released under the BSD license then its hardly stealing. Its perfectly legal.

  6. Re:Yeah but... on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    And code means nothing to someone who isn't a programmer (management). I could care less about having the source. I care about what works now, and will continue to work. Not what may work now with this patch or in the next build.

  7. interesting on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    Would a r00t exploit in the latest linux kernel make slashdots front page? I've often wondered this.

  8. cell phone bills on Using Webcams as Remote Security? · · Score: 1

    With the current prices of cell phones its probably cheaper to pay someone minimum wage to sit there and watch it. Plus with a camera that means someone has to be watching or at least recording it.

  9. sure on Cryonics "Noah's Ark" · · Score: 1

    "The world would be a bleaker place without homosexuality"

    And they contribute what exactly....? I'm not aware of too many gay animals. Maybe you would care to point out some examples of them? If your whole point is to preserve the species then gay animals aren't going to help.

  10. big deal on Cryonics "Noah's Ark" · · Score: 1

    Spiritually and philosophically don't cure diseases or make plants grow better. Its technology that makes things better.

  11. easy way on Paper: Technical and Legal Approaches to Spam · · Score: 1

    Have all dialup ISP's block the outgoing smtp port. That will reduce spam by 99%. The rest will be the clueless cable/dsl loser who will get his account yanked quickly.

  12. Re:hey stupid on This Laptop Will Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    Your script must be run by some OS, correct? What if they use a boot disk? Or hook the drive up to another box for examination?

    The mechanism must be done in hardware.

  13. not for fiber on The Myriad Ways of Wiring Your Home? · · Score: 1

    Cutting and polishing the ends of fiber is no big deal. You have to know what you're doing and have good equipment. Every end has to be cut and carefully polished so light can pass cleanly through.

  14. sure ya did on Slashback: Flesh, Porn, Smells · · Score: 1

    Ummm you're not supposed to give out the names of people who you council dumbass. But then again this is quite a clever troll.

  15. hmmm on Why UDDI Will Work · · Score: 1

    Judging from the wording at everything2.com "world domination" its something that MS is working on.

    Since this site is clearly anti-MS the article will jusr cause a bunch of people to make posts and get VA more banner hits (money).

  16. oh well on CCTV - The Fifth Utility · · Score: 1

    Its nice to know that two guys will be watching you bleed to death while the attack(ers) are getting away.

    If your society is so crime ridden that the only solution is constant surveilence then you have deeper issues to work out. Heres a link stolen from another post showing just how well these cameras seem to be working

    http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057, 17 41225%255E1702,00.html

  17. question on CCTV - The Fifth Utility · · Score: 1

    Ok so you sign up for a license when you buy a tv or anything capable of receiving tv signals (tv card). What about if you buy a tv second hand, or find one sitting out for the garbage? What if you were to buy parts and build a tv from scratch?

    Sorry but stuff like that has always bothered me.

  18. Re:Never had a problem with my old zip on Iomega Settles Zip Drive Suit (With Rebates) · · Score: 1

    I watched three drives labeled IBM with maxtor chipsets die within a year period. All were 2.1 gig UW scsi. Same goes for those 1.2 gig low profile seagate drives.

  19. too bad on AI Movie Promo · · Score: 1

    I use the most hated OS on slashdot (nt4) and have no problems playing it. Maybe you should ask the guy who writes xanim to get some codecs. Cinepak was popular in 1994.

  20. because it runs linux on Agenda VR3 Review · · Score: 1

    No one would even consider buying this thing, but because it runs linux that makes it ok. Imagine the shock and horror if MS released a half assed palmtop computer.

  21. again on Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    How do you know?

  22. but on Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    Like I said before the camera CAN look into your windows. How do you feel about that?

  23. how do you know? on Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    If I was working that camera my focus would be on cute looking chicks. Screw looking for criminals. See how your argument falls apart?

    They ARE taping it. How else do they use the footage in court cases? If your society is so crime ridden that the only solution is constant surveilence then your have deeper issues to look at.

  24. then obviously on Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    You won't mind the camera looking into your window at night. Its a clear shot from the camera to the whole front of your house. But then if you don't mind that how about the one I install in your bathroom? You aren't doing anything illegal so whats there to worry about?

    Its not about being spyed on, its about my personal freedoms being erroded away without my consent. Was there ever a vote on this?

    Last night on TLC there was a story about cameras in england. Some guy was up late (4am) and went to the store a few blocks away to buy some smokes. When he gets back to his apartment the police are waiting for him and questioning his identity.

    Now he did nothing illegal, so why were the police ready to arrest him? If you let your freedom slowly be taken away one day you will wake up and wonder where it all went.

  25. nice resume on TCP/IP Over HTTP · · Score: 1

    you dumbass those links just point to a drive letter. I'm sure as hell not hiring you.
