    As the parent of a first grader and a kindergartener I dread the day I'm must do this. I'm as clueless about how to handle it now as I was then.

  7. Re:grocery stores do this too on Pay Dirt in Scanned Driver's Licenses · · Score: 0

    Nearly every time I enter one of those stores I fill out an application with bogus info to get a new card. I must have a couple dozen cards on the floor of my car. I costs me a little time, but itcosts them $$.

    Their 'proprietary internal protocols' are the reason you haven't heard about any news stories about AOL being cracked.

  10. War is bad for the REAL economy on The Drone War · · Score: 0

    "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
    This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, and the hopes of its children."
    --President Eisenhauer from April 16, 1953.

    HitBox runs on Windows not Linux, Mac, or BSD. Operators of websites using IIS & Windows do not target Mac & Linux users. They probably don't know that anything exists outside the Wintel world.

  14. Header Munging on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 0

    I've been playing with Proxomitron lately. I's a free Windoze "Personal Proxy" that lets you do all kinds of filtering and header/cokie manipulation. I have set it to change my User-Agent only in the *.msn.com domain. This lets me use Mozilla with MSN (I've never had the need to do so), but give the real User-Agent to all other domains.

    Find Proxomitron at:

    I just wonder where he got the number 60 from. Are they registerd somewhere? If not, how can one prove any particular cell culture predates 8/9/01?

  22. Re:OK, this has been bothering me for years on "Lord of the Rings" Quicktime Preview Available · · Score: 1

    Hobbits have a unique tendency toward level-headedness and a shallow practical view of the world. They are not tempted by power for power's sake. Gollum only used it to hide from Orcs and to catch fish. The other races would be quickly corrupted by the ring.

    An army of elves might just attract a bit of unwanted attention. Don't ya think?

  23. While we're on the subject.... on Letter to the Community on Andover/VA Merger · · Score: 1

    So, when is /. going to drop the .org and get a .com domain? Don't you think it's just a teensy bit dishonest to pretend to be a nonprofit?
