  2. 322 Tbit/sec until....... on Cisco Introduces a 322 Tbit/sec. Router · · Score: 0

    Until you put anything processor intensive on. You'd probably get no where near that.

  3. Re:Already opened? on NASA Astronauts To Open New Space Station Windows · · Score: 1

    Yeah that's what I original thought, but then the article says they are only preparing it. Mismatch reporting makes me a sad panda :(

  6. Prices on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Basic Model is $499. Wow, was not expecting that.

  7. "She wants all nuts banned from all airlines." on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And I want all nut-jobs banned from life. Good luck with that.

  8. Re:Errr Radius Authentication on UK File-Sharing Laws Unenforceable On Mobile Networks · · Score: 1

    Ah yes forgot about those. Your point is valid but they could just cut those SIMs off, if not do away with the scheme all together.

  9. Errr Radius Authentication on UK File-Sharing Laws Unenforceable On Mobile Networks · · Score: 1

    Some basic assumptions are that the ISP uses a Radius server to have people authenticate their mobile network devices on their network. Radius servers record the calling phone number of the sim card. Lookup phone number/sim number against the owner at time of given download? Or is that far too simple?

  10. After reading the tech specs I can see on Nintendo Announces DSi XL · · Score: 5, Funny

    It prints free money for nintendo.

  11. Re:Slashdot editor's demonstrate..... on Network Adapter Keeps Talking While a PC Is Asleep · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well you are on about a par with us.for correcting someone's grammar. P.S You are missing a double quotation mark.

    I thought my dupe senses were tingling!

  13. Erm.... on UK National ID Card Cloned In 12 Minutes · · Score: 1

    I thought with the departure of Jacqui smith, this diabolical scheme was being abolished? Why are they not listening, no one wants ID cards.

    Especially if key data is local to the card, then again they do it with pin's on credit/debit cards, I'd imagine 10000 combinations doesn't take that long to crack. Who thought that was a secure idea.

    Case Study: Phantasy Star online Ep 1 & 2. The character information was stored local to the user resulting in a mass of illegitimate items and characters.

    The whole concept of a secure card is crap unless it verifies against an external DB.

  14. Pretty sure this isn't new on Machine Condenses Drinking Water Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    Been around a while hasn't it? I'm sure it was on Dragons Den (UK Investment type TV show).

  15. Re:More driver distraction on New iPhone Apps Help Drivers Beat Speed Traps · · Score: 4, Informative

    Like the streets aren't dangerous enough without every iPhone user fiddling with their toy trying to "beat the system" while piloting a two ton juggernaut on public streets.

    Yeah because speech alerts are really distracting. Did you even read the articles?
