  1. A great free solution for you. on Am I a Spam Zombie? · · Score: 1

    Try this.

  2. This isn't just a VA Software problem. on The Vanishing Act of VA Linux Hardware Docs? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We're potentially just a few EMPs away from losing a lot of information that's increasingly being stored on the Web in lieue of hardcopy.

    Not being able to find server documentation is one thing; not being able to find, say, Planck's Constant is quite another.

  3. Think of the rhyming possibilities for 'Ruckus'! on University Tests Legal File Downloading System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Without knowing any further details, I'll bet that'll about sum it up. ;>

  4. The one thing it's obvious you can't live without. on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 4, Funny
  5. Looks like the Fed's upgrading from DOS to DDoS. on Federal Reserve To Use Internet For Money Transfer · · Score: 1

    Silly bureaucrats, just because there's an extra 'D' doesn't mean it's better!

    If only we could get the IRS to follow suit, life would be good. ;>

  6. NetFlow. on Managing Huge Networks with Open Source Tools? · · Score: 3, Informative
  7. Re:Personally, I'd recommend on Life Behind the Firewall Curtain? · · Score: 1

    No - with a Cantenna plus a nearby business with a T1 or such, you're in the clover! ;>

  8. Personally, I'd recommend on Life Behind the Firewall Curtain? · · Score: 1

    one of these.

  9. I just read Slashdot. on Sleeping Problems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Works like a champ . . . ::yawn:: ;>

  10. All heat, no light - sound familiar? on Integrated Reflector Could Lead to Ubiquitous LEDs · · Score: 1

    Just think what this could mean for online forums in general, and Slashdot in particular! ;>

  11. 'Secret history'? on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One way to handle this would be to work the plot out so that Romulans are actually seen by Terrans and/or allies, but that those who see them are either a) all killed or b) that it's all hushed up (I like this latter option, as there are all kinds of cool foreshadowin things which could be done).

  12. 'Semi-literate' Slashdotter? on On Afghanistan's Thomas Edison · · Score: 1, Troll

    Say it isn't so!

  13. I'm happy to help out . . . on Internet Accessible Home Security Systems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just give me your home address, and I'll be happy to swing by and check out^H^H^H ^H^H^H^H^H check on those thousands of dollars of servers and PIXes you have lying around. ;>

  14. Don't use infrared; Keyspan wireless works well. on Wireless Control for Presentations? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Infrared generally requires line-of-sight, and you don't want to have to turn around and point your clicker at your laptop when in the mist of a presentation.

    I've had great luck with the Keyspan Presentation Remote - it has a little USB wireless dongle which attaches to my PowerBook, and it works well with PowerPoint & Keynote.

    It looks like a USB mouse to the system, so no additional drivers are required; it provides mouse-type functionality, so you can do remote demos, etc. I haven't tried it on Windows or Linux, but I'm pretty sure it would work in Windows with no drivers and in Linux if you have your XF86Config file set up properly (this should be tested, though).

  15. The real innovation of this game on Chronicling Riddick - Making A Decent Movie-Licensed Game? · · Score: 4, Funny

    is that it allows one to participate in a prison economy, to kill other inmates in exchange for packetts of cigarettes, drag (and toss!) bodies around, shiv guards, etc., all without committing a Class C felony in the first place. ;>

  16. New acronym - SINALF on Circuit Boards + Soldering Iron == Terrorist? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot Is Not A Law Firm. ;>

  17. Re:You could always use IPv4 Anycasting. on DNS based Website Failover Solutions? · · Score: 1

    It's best-suited for stateless stuff, but you don't get stateful failover within load-balanced Web clusters and such most of the time (unless the content-provider has gone to a lot of trouble to support it, using the right software and hardware and coding), so it's sometimes better than nothing.

  18. You could always use IPv4 Anycasting. on DNS based Website Failover Solutions? · · Score: 2, Informative

    More information here.

  19. Those wacky Japs! on 2ch: Japanese Web Forum As Social Vent · · Score: 1

    Venting their frustrations anonymously on a Web-based bulletin-board system? Who would'a thunk it?

    What will they think of, next?!

  20. So tell me, little shaver, on Security and School - How Should One Speak Up? · · Score: 1

    just where did you say you go to school? ;>

  21. Re:Need to move to PEAP ASAP on Cisco's LEAP Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    Show me a PEAP implementation for Linux, or Mac OS/X, if PEAP is so 'open'.

  22. For starters, on Surviving the Chopping Block? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I tend to concentrate on my work, rather than slacking around and posting inane questions to Slashdot.

    Heavy drinking, incessant womanizing, and general debauchery also answer quite nicely, I've found. ;>

  23. I -knew- it! on Women Over 40 Biggest Online Gamers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, that explains why that choad who keeps kicking my ass at CounterStrike uses 'MrsRobinson' as her handle, and keeps making off-the-wall references to Botox and estrogen therapy while she's fragging my ass into oblivion!

  24. What nakes you think it's a precursor? on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1

    My guess is that it's there already, it's just that nobody has poked around enough to discover it.

    Yet.

  25. Re:Lotus Sametime on Enterprise IM? · · Score: 1

    Just so that you know, Samtimes sucks on non-Windows platforms.

    I mean, it really chews ass.

    Just so that you know.
