Thank you for your reply. I'm humbled that you are so willing to help others in your personal and professional time. I'm learning so much from you and everyone else in Slashdot. I hope I can be qualified to pass on the favor one day to other people.
My apologies. Clarification: "porridge" refers to rice porridge (aka congee) eaten by Asians. "Plain porridge" is made from rice, water, and nothing else.
Another gripe: Times New Roman overused, for both text and headings. I once had to study such a History textbook. The poor font choice (a Times-like font) and warm-white pages made me sleep every time I open the textbook.
(No, it's not the computer games and SKIRT CHASING in school that made me fail History... I swear!)
The next year, the textbook was changed. The new textbook had colored photos and pages, and the font choice (a Helvetica-like font) and cool-white pages made me feel more alert. I still failed History, but at least I liked it!
When I got home, I got a hold of the network security admin for the casino. I sent him the logs, the floor I was on, and exactly what I did. He thanked me for finding the mistake and not taking advantage of it.
You are very, very, very lucky that he did not report to his management.
The casino is very lucky to have a smart network administrator like him.

Trust me, the guy who would have gotten fired over it would prefer to know about the problem first so he can fix it.
You are still very lucky that he didn't let anyone else know. He probably had Caller ID on his office phone. Also, he was able to retrieve Internet email from you.
My only questions: How did you manage to get through all the receptionists/secretaries, and how did you assess that he's smart and non-idiotic?
And Vegemite too. This strong-tasting food paste is good for plain porridge only and nothing else. When a tiny teaspoonful is added, the porridge is absolutely delicious. When misused on other foods (especially bread), it is torture.
I think Comic Sans is a brilliantly designed but greatly misused and misunderstood product. I sympathize with the creator.
If there's an easier way of obtaining more fonts via the Internet, and including them in the documents distributed, users will be happy to try other fonts.
I remember Terminate, but I didn't use it. As I recalled, its version number jumped from v3 to v1+, so v1+ was newer than v3.
My all-time favourite easter egg is "and now, the moment you've all been waiting for". Because I found Clouds.mid nice. Of course, it helped that I had a wavetable card.
You need a new moniker. Or are you trying to be funny, like the guy who is 7 feet tall and nicknamed "Small"?
I was trying to be funny, but over the past few months, some of my messages were marked "-1, Troll/Redundant/Off-topic", and quite rightly too. I learned a lot by being marked down.
My parent message might be modded "3, Insightful", but the last line "I just wasted 15 minutes on you" is pure flame, and I should have STFU. "My tongue weighs so little, yet I can't hold it."
I will change my moniker or create a new one, when I can write well, default to 1, and get modded 3 to 5 all the time. Especially "Funny".
This is mencoder making its way through the access restrictions on the disk, but encountering a lot of resistance. It is succeeding, though. For these disks, I let AcidRip run overnight.

How does the system deal with traffic accidents, protests and roadblocks?
These are good advice. Please ignore the post from that 4-digit Slashdot poster.

His girlfriend and him frequently use the words einparken, einen Harten haben, Scheide, Fotze, geil and sexuell together.
We on the other hand interact with virtual characters.
... unlike the hate for Comic Sans.

Rest in peace, Gravis Ultrasound.
Xandros Presto will be a product that I'll be watching, to see how many copies it'll sell (US$20 per copy).
Of course, what with all the eels from South Dakota that have spread here.
Does this Half-Life 2: EP3 come with ... um ... downloadable graphics for one of the characters?
To, um, enjoy the higher resolution, of course!
You so deserve +5 Funny for this. It took me a while to realize the reference.
Don't understand the bold typeface. Which one are you saying?
My daughter will know how to execute SQL injections by the time she is 10!
Just be careful if you enroll her in Boston College, okay?
Parents, be careful with this plan, you wouldn't want to have your records swapped with (notorious threat of the day) for grounding your kid.
Either you buy me a pink VW Beetle when I turn 16, or I'll turn you into a federal wanted criminal!
Darn, you are making me excited about the future possibilities of smart map applications! (Keyword: Smart)
You should be a lecturer. You'll inspire students greatly!
I too loved Telemate. (And ProComm Plus for Windows too.)

Pardon me, but ...
How often does your DVD drive work overnight?
... and Linksys "rt2500usb.sys" driver for its WUSB54G network adapter.
Seriously though -- save $100 million and run a separate network.
Do me a favor - go read up on military networks in Wikipedia. You can start with the 25-year old MILNET network.
You can also bet that there's networks that nobody in the public (or low-to-medium levels of military) knows.

The idea that if I had the right combination of addresses and credentials I could launch a nuke right now is ludicrus.
You're right, it's ludicrous. That's why the idea is never pursued, except possibly for honeypots/misinformation.
Man, I just wasted 15 minutes trying to enlighten you!
Hi there, Cylon Number Six. If I give you candy, will you give me ... ?
Cylons do it with candy in their mouths!
and there is really only one reason to take a girl out on a date....
To bribe them to set you up with another girl?
Amen, brother!
I mean the safe travel, not the webdev...
I, for one, find the $2 video very interesting. At 0:29~0:32, the video showed clearly how the physics worked.
"Learning = linking the unknown to the known, so the unknown becomes known."
Most Slashdot readers are smart - they know the $2 version is non-durable, unlike the $350 version.
You, on the other hand, do not recognize the related technologies between the $2 and $350 versions.
I shouldn't be making jokes at a time like this. I'm sorry. Please mod my previous comment down. Thank you.
