  1. OK ok.... on Microsoft Withdraws Linux NTFS Threats · · Score: 1

    Who fed the 800lb gorilla his bananna?

  2. Re:The Problem on Western Union Cracked, Credit Cards Stolen · · Score: 1

    Hey did you password the DB sa account after we finished the install? "Nah, I will get to it after lunch"

  3. IDS dependance? on Security Through Obscurity A GOOD Thing? · · Score: 2

    I for one think full disclosure is the only way holes will be fixed and systems secured. Where does he think he will get new attack sigs from?
    Report your new vulnerabilities to NFR only so they can keep it a secret and roll it into the next signature file version? Hmm strike NFR off my IDS solution list.
    Like those guys at NFR aren't all subscribed to bugtraq.

  4. Re:My main drive has been 80 for years on Maxtor's 80GB Drive · · Score: 1

    My webserver/SMTP server is on a 486/DX2 50. I have two 340meg IDE disks. Works great.

  5. Re:Hurray! on Maxtor's 80GB Drive · · Score: 1

    Rock on DONO! now where is my account on that sweet box of yours?

  6. Re:I e-mailed Woz once on Wozniak Interview In Failure · · Score: 1

    I found an apple IIe(?) with no power supply once. So I wired in a PC power supply. It never really ran quite right...but it did run. I couldnt hit a key and get just one character. It would spit out 4 or five depending on how fast I was. I suspect the keyboard controller was shot.

  7. RedHAt & dell. on Dell & IBM Both Shipping Linux · · Score: 1

    We just got a Dual Xeon Dell poweredge 6400 for statistical number crunching. I giggled as I found the contents of the box to contain an offical copy with documentation of RedHat 6.2. Which had been preinstalled by dell as well.

  8. distributed.net client on Recombinant DNA For The Home Hobbyist · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long it will take for ditributed.net to come out with dna crunching clients?

  9. Interfearance on AMD Announces 1GHz Athlon Imminent · · Score: 2

    Has anyone had any thoughts as how these chip frequencys might affect 900mhz phones? If at all? Maybe cause some problems if you have a phone near a fast box?

  10. Re:IBM PS/2 keyboards on 5GB portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I had a friend in high school that used to pop off the keys from is PS/2 keyboard and toss them all in the sink when they got dirty. He would wash them with some soap and water then dry em' and pop them back on his keyboard.

  11. for the car. on 5GB portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I plan to get one for the car that I can plug into my stereos audio in. Then just take it with me when I am walking around. I have a jeep so CD's get easily scratched and dinged up if the visor case migrates to the floor. At least with this I can make a shock mounting for it and just plug it in.

  12. cray desktops on Tera Will Buy Cray Research · · Score: 0

    I would love it if cray/tera came out with a 64 bit desktop. If they kept it in the affordable range I would love one. We have a few SGIs at my work place and I just love the things. It would be nice to have a few Cray workstations/desktops. What would they run though? CrayOS/linux hybrid?

  13. Redundancy? on AOL/Time-Warner Opens Cable Network to Other ISPs · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this add any more redunancy to the internet?

  14. Re:Jenny McCarthy needs to go away NOW on Review: "Scream 3" · · Score: 1

    I agree I am sick of her dumbass. She must have slept with a lot of people to get this much camera time.

  15. Kind of cheezy on Review: "Scream 3" · · Score: 1

    It turned out the way I thought it would, but after three of these it gets predictable. It was kind of annoying because these films are all the same. The same senarios just re-written in a new day and age.

  16. Glad I held out. on More on the Samsung Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    I have been holding out for over a year now waiting for something to come out on the market with color/linux/mp3 abilities. This looks like my wait is over. Hopefully they wont cost too much. $800.00 sounds good. Perhaps one day we will all have mobile computing devices running webservers or other services over an 30% wireless internet. So if I am in an air port and accessing a webpage it could be the guy sitting next to me with a PDA in his jacket. Hey where is so and so.. I dont know lets go to his webpage and see if he has updated his whereabouts from the taxi.

  17. Negitive? on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    How do you loose a negitive amount of money? Hey I am going to take -$20.00 dollars from you then do I give you $20.00? Or is this more of that accountant language I dont understand.

  18. Ick. on Competition for AIBO: Robo Cat · · Score: 1

    That cat got hit with an ugly stick or truck.

    Two reasons why I wouldnt buy it.

    1) My dog would chew its head off.
    2) Its ugly.

    Are they going to simulate bowl movements also? You could fill it everyday with a pint of RoboPiss(tm) and can of RoboSoftServeTurd(tm).
    Then train it to be house broken.

    What about static? Could you give your RoboPet a lobotomy when the humidity is low?

  19. Audit it. on SSH v. SRP · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the maintainers would care to post something on bugtraq? announcing their new package.

  20. Re:Nobody gives a shit on Muppets Sold · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ. You sound like you were born in the 80's am I correct?

  21. Re:Reruns are on cable on Muppets Sold · · Score: 1

    I saw this one too, my wife and I laughed so hard. I think the chef skits are my favorite.

  22. Re:The Odyssey Network on Muppets Sold · · Score: 1

    I used to like alf when I was a kid. I cant stand the jokes anymore however. I can still sit down and watch the muppets though.

  23. Muppet shows on Muppets Sold · · Score: 1

    You can still see the muppets at 6:30 on the oddessy channel in the northeast. My wife and I watch them when we are home. Brings back memories of when life was simple.

  24. Free PC usage on Free-PC Bites the Dust · · Score: 1

    My wife and I actually used the Free-PC to plan our trip to hawaii. We used it to purchase small gifts for Christmas and what not. It was just terribly slow and sometimes annoying to use. We often found our selves hopping on to a linux box on the cable modem. Atleast it was an interesting idea, and the presario 2285v is an upgrade compared to all the 486's I use.

  25. FREE-PC Cancelation letter (link) on Free-PC Bites the Dust · · Score: 0

    Here is a link to the letter (E-mail) I received.

    No more Win98 for me!
