  1. Thank Dog!!! on Slashback: Squashing, N'Synch, Yopy · · Score: 1

    Everybody I know had a negative reaction to the news that they would be included in Episode 2.
    This news is better than I'd ever hoped to hear. I admire those that are responsible for this outcome.

  2. Re:Password on New Microsoft SQL Server Worm · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you always leave your front door unlocked, you can expect to be robbed/vandalised, whether you deserve it or not. The perpetrators of the crime likely do not consider how deserving their victims are. All they need is opportunity. I think that we realize that this type of threat is a fact of life, and the idea should be to safeguard against it, since we are not going to snuff out this type criminal activity any time soon.

    If you are responsible for a house, you should know well enough to lock it.

    Maybe the problem is that MS software often ends up in uncapable or unaware hands.

    Is mine good enough to make the cut?

  4. Re:How did the police identify him? on Florida Surveillance Cameras Claim a Victim · · Score: 1

    Haven't you watched Law & Order? I know it's television, but... Hopefully the wife remembered his name and mentioned it to the police in Tampa. Which isn't useful to them anyway. So... start at the picture in the newspaper, and work you way backwards to the cops that demo'ed the surveillance... oh and they knew the neighborhood and had a picture to flash around..

  5. Log of any interest? on Code Red II: Shells for the Taking · · Score: 1

    Some stats I ran to see how many times my personal firewall blocked access to my computer on port 80 on a daily basis. Just your typical computer with an always on connection. Very many of them originating from 24.*.*.* Oh, an there currently isn't (and won't be because who cares) a script for generating these. And I grabbed an username that's appropriate. I hope somebody cares. Wait, no I don't.

    78% of all statistics are wrong!


  7. By then we would have... on Could Mars Be Habitable In 100 Years? · · Score: 2

    I'd like to believe that within 100,000 years humans would be exploring the deepest reaches of our solar system, if not our neighboring stars. We will have inevitable learned to survive on Mars, despite the lack of oxygen and abundance of Canadian weather. Rushing to heat up a planet so we can water our gardens on Mars without breathing aids in 100,000 years from now might sound a bit silly. Will terraforming a planet still be a human priority? Maybe. We gotta live somewhere. (Or do we?) We should at least check the place out ourselves before we move in and start rearranging everything. Our feable 20th Century brains shouldn't be planning that far ahead.
    Besides, if it's atmosphere your looking for, we've got lots of it in our drinking establishments here in Canada, eh!

    Aw, come on. Just one probe?



  9. Re:Who Cares? on More Super Cool Overclocking · · Score: 1

    Top Fuel Drag Racing. 0 to 300+mph in less than 5 secs. Why? They're only going 440 yds. You don't have to understand overclocking, but you can admire it in a way.

    "...frequently use such statistics to advance their point of view,..."

    I here that 78% of all statistics are wrong ;)

  11. Elections for the masses on Survivor Winner Revealed By Bad Web Site Coding? · · Score: 2
    I've got an idea. You could use the Survivor format to elect your next President, except having the public vote who'll be 'off the island'. No doubt it would raise public interest in the event. Just imagine what you could get them to do in the challenges.

    Your challenge is, move amongst these children, pick the one you think is an orphan, and make him laugh with any of these three items.

    • The Declaration of Independance
    • Ross Perot's hat
    • The purse Monica Lewinski made from Tom Green's parents bed matress
    This is for immunity.

  12. Why I like it... on Anandtech Looks At 'Celeron 2' · · Score: 1

    My first computer is Celeron 333A, [stop snickering], I wanted to have a nice monitor so that left less cash for other components. The motherboard was to get a PIII proc when they became more affordable but now I think I'll just get a new computer and save my Cel for the purpose of overclocking. It's the computer for poeple who buy cheaper cars and hot rod them into something a bit (or alot) faster. This sounds like alot of fun, and as soon as I don't need to rely on my Cel everyday, I'm crawling under the hood to speed things up. CaNuK When you hear the bell, GO!

  13. Re:Sorry on Hope for Mars Polar Lander? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the explanation is the alien virii all those Seti cpu doners are picking up from all that static out there. There just isn't any place for that here.
