  1. Re:Not a problem on What Should We Do About Wikipedia's Porn Problem? · · Score: 1

    he's also not very well endowed apparently

  2. Tornadoes on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 2

    "Southwest Airlines cancels more than 40 flights at Dallas Love Field in Texas in the aftermath of #tornadoes. " http://on.cnn.com/Hc37c4 Very next day. I think it's clear who the real terrorists are. Tornadoes.

  3. Accuracy? on Japanese CCTV Camera Can Scan 36 Million Faces/Second · · Score: 1

    i'd love to know how accurate this thing is. Finally, we can find Japanese Waldo

  4. Re:Turn signals are a good thing on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 1

    As do I. All these nut bags that refuse to use their signals are a danger on the road.

    Turn signals are dangerous. They provide your adversaries with advance notice of your intention; it's much better to take them by surprise. (I came to understand this when I lived in Boston.)

    You're going about it all wrong. Use your turn signal when you are overtaking your adversary. It's a warning/notification tool, not a permission slip. (I came to understand this driving thru Manhattan)

  5. Re:How many threads like this? on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    I use the WZR-HP-300N at one location, & the E2000 seems to fit all the OP's requirements.

  6. Re:Wua.la on The Pirate Bay to Become a Distributed Storage Cloud? · · Score: 1

    exactly, wua.la is exactly what this described already. They also have content that is shared such as video files that can be streamed back. Now if someone figures out a way to get parity blocks on p2p automagically, then you'll wow me.

  7. google flu trends on Twitter Considered Harmful To Swine-Flu Panic · · Score: 1

    but it looks like google's flu trends is based off who searches for flu and flu like words. how can that be accurate in the current situation we're in?

  8. switching over to lynx on Online Banking Customers Migrating To Lynx · · Score: 1

    ok fine, you caught me. still tho, lynx really isn't a bad browser, why you have to make-a the fun?

  9. Re:Try using XBMC to play MKV on DivX 7 Adds Support For Blu-ray Rips (H.264/MKV) · · Score: 1

    I had the same setup until recently. What I'm wondering is how bluray mkv rips play on Verizon's settop boxes.. the multihome DVRs should stream these, but how well? Does the playback depend on the hardware the settop boxes are running?

  10. Re:fairness on Bittorrent To Cause Internet Meltdown · · Score: 1

    It's 2008, (almost 09!!) wouldn't QOS solve these kind of issues?

  11. Re:It isn't just targeting the US. on Significant Russian Attack On US Military Networks · · Score: 1

    I take slashdot seriously. What kind of jab was that?!

  12. Re:Why bother? on Millions of Internet Addresses Are Lying Idle · · Score: 1

    Isn't that a good thing? I imagine there are going to be serious security issues when ipv6 is implemented and EVERYTHING is routable. The average joe who has no idea what a firewall is will suffer the most. I definetly think we should stick out with ipv4 a while longer, I don't know about the accuracy of this guy's "icmp probe of the internet" though.

  13. Re:Suprised this story made it here on Red Hat HPC Linux Cometh · · Score: 1

    surprised as well. slashdot is usually a redhat basher. what gives with the break in tradition?!

  14. Re:The ultimate geek toy on Neopwn, the World's First Pentesting Mobile Phone · · Score: 1

    The anti-iPhone: the Linux telephone that operates entirely from the command line! The Ultimate One-Dimensional Desktop! What can't you do with a bash prompt?

    (The v2 version will, of course, run Emacs and be programmed entirely in eLisp written on the fly.)

    looks cool but waaaaaaay too expensive. I'll stick to my first gen iphone, a wifi signal, and metasploit and i'm just as happy.

  15. Re:it's not about SSL.. it's about network securit on A Good Reason To Go Full-Time SSL For Gmail · · Score: 1

    EGGGG-zactly. even if you do use SSL wtf is the point if someone gets in between you and the gateway, and sends you a self signed SSL cert, you're still not safe...
