  1. Complete w/ the spyware? on Shareaza 2.0 Released Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Does the sourcecode come complete w/ the attached spyware (Gator, et. al.)? I don't want it if I don't get all sorts of worthless junk installed on my computer without my consent!

  2. Not at my work. on An Analysis Of Email Disclaimers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thankfully, we're not required to put such a disclaimer on e-mails at my work.

  3. I reiterate on OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop · · Score: 5, Funny

    I reiterate from the previous story. If OptInRealBig is a legitimate opt-in e-mail marketing service, then why don't they have a place anywhere on their website to opt-in?

  4. Re:Do people think we can rely on this list? on Third Largest Supercomputer... at Weta Digital · · Score: 1

    Notice that many systems on the list are listed as classified. In general, one way govt. agencies pat themselves on the back is by showing off on this list. I believe you can rest fairly assured that even the most powerful defense systems are listed here, although their locations and uses are probably listed as classified.

    Now whether the information on the list is useful is a whole other hornets nest of opinions, bruised-feelings, and religious zealots.

  5. Re:Insightful??? on Third Largest Supercomputer... at Weta Digital · · Score: 1

    Oops, sorry about that. I don't know why the site is password protected without the "www" at the beginning.

  6. Top500 on Third Largest Supercomputer... at Weta Digital · · Score: 5, Informative

    *cough* Top500 List *cough*

  7. Opt In on Spammer Sues SpamCop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does anyone else find it odd that "optinrealbig.com" has no place on it to actually opt-in?

  8. IMAP on AOL Mail To Be Accessible Via IMAP · · Score: 1

    I wish my ISP would provide IMAP access. Maybe then I'd actually use their e-mail rather than downloading it automatically into another account that does use IMAP.

  9. Re:Dumb Cracker? on Intrusion Cleanup Forces Delay For GNOME 2.6 · · Score: 2, Funny
    According to Waugh, the GNOME Web servers that are hosted by Red Hat were compromised by "a dumb cracker who probably didn't realise what they got into".

    Seems like he was smart enough to hack their system.

    So the dumb cracker was really a smart cookie?
  10. Re:Is 576bit big? on RSA-576 Factored · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You may be comparing two different types of encryption. For block algorithms such as DES and AES, 128 bit is still fairly reasonable, however not for RSA (and other public key algorithms). Currently, 1024 bit RSA is considered reasonably secure and 576 is, as we can clearly see, quite insecure. I won't go into the details of why different algorithms need such drastically different key sizes here, but if you'd like to know more, the Crypto-FAQ is a good place to start.

  11. Re:AT&T Wont UNLOCK EVER! on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 1

    If you have a nokia phone, go here and check out the forums to unlock the phone yourself. If you have a different brand, there are probably similar sites.

  12. Piece of Cake on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I switched from SprintPCS to AT&T Wireless without any issues at all. I ordered my new phone from the AT&T site, they sent it to me via FedEX, and my number ported later in the day that I received my phone. No issues at all.

  13. Great toolset on Better Than Bit Torrent, For Internet2 Users? · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see the LoCI guys getting some recognition. I've been using their tools for quite some time and they are useful well beyond downloading ISOs. Data movement is an important issue, especially in distributed environments, such as the Internet and grids. The packages that LoCI has released are a very strong solution to the data movement problem.

  14. Propaganda on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    This looks a lot like snake oil to me. No useful information at all in their description. They could just be doing an XOR for all their site says. I want serious specs.

  15. Non-standard displays on Qt On DirectFB · · Score: 1

    I've played around a bit with DirectFB and I think it has the potential to be a really slick solution for some users/applications. The problem I've had is that I have a widescreen display and I've yet to get any of the Linux FB drivers to display in its native resolution. I've tried the various formulas to figure out which numbers to use, but I've never gotten it working. Has anyone been able to use DirectFB on a widescreen display?

  16. Surprisingly Inuitive on Inkblot Passwords · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't often say this about a M$ idea, but this seems like quite a good idea. The passwords seem to lack numbers, misc. characters, and mixed-case, but they're still stronger than the average password. This idea has potential for sure.

  17. TRON on a PC on TRON: The Unknown Open-Source? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd like to see this guy's TRON pc. I wonder what software he's able to run on it.

  18. Multiple Calendars on Ximian Evolution's New Clothes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm really hoping that multiple calendars makes it into the next realease. This is one feature that I've wanted for a long time and have never had the time to code in myself. I guess time will tell. Thanks to those of you who work on evolution, it's a great product.

  19. And then what? on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Oh good, the landfills aren't full enough and this recycling fad has really slowed their growth. Throwing out every movie we rent ought to help destroy our planet all that much faster.

  20. Pay to unlist? on Cell Numbers To Be Added To 411 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to the article cell companies may choose to charge people to have their number unlisted. That sounds like a privacy lawsuit waiting to happen.

  21. sigh on AMD and IBM Working Together on Future Chips · · Score: 1

    Drat! I was really looking forward to buying a Barton chip! Oh well, I'll just keep saving, I suppose.

  22. Find a Billionaire on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's some filthy rich guy out there who wouldn't mind living in the space station for a year while NASA takes a break. ;o)>

    Where on Earth did you find an 80GB drive for $80? I can't find 40GB drives for that much around me!
