    Yep, good news for the dyslexics.

  2. Re:Not funny at all on Netgear's Amusing "fix" for WG602v1 Backdoor · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with the password that the user selects.

    The fact is if you go to _ANY_ netgear router of this make and model you can type that password in and gain access.

    A backdoor is something that a programer adds to make it easier to administer the product at a later date. and it is a Major risk.

  7. Adult Swim new linup? on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    I keep seeing these ads for a new line up on adult swim, with shows that in my opinion do not match FG.

    Has anyone else heard about these?

  8. Re:I don't pity them on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 1

    A big problem was the patch was never released as a critical update until a few days ago. I work support at a small-medium college campus and we generaly have our users install the critical updates. (And even then most dont listen).

  9. Re:All About the Same on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    Avoid any stores that sell batteries in adition to products that they have. Like toy stores or electronic stores. Large chains like Walmart and Target or Bulk stores like BJ's or Sams Club generaly have the lowest price per battery.

    I personaly use either the renewal alkines or the pansonic nickle metal ones.

    A local tv station ran a story a few years back durring one of those cute kids toy stories and found that the generic batteries, ones that normaly carry the name of the store lasted the longest. Durcell and Energizer both had about the shotest life span. If i find the link ill post it. The toy that they used to test was that shakey ball with rubber spikes around it.

  12. Re:Oh lord the humanity! on Airships Tested As Two-Way Telecom Beacons · · Score: 1

    Actually, the problem with the hydrogen airships WASN'T the hydrogen. It was the coating used on the skin that burned so well. I'm sure that surrounding the flammable skin with a flammable gas didn't help... If the airship was filled with a inert gas (like Helium) the incident would of been less of a disaster.

  19. Re:How much? on Slashdot Updates · · Score: 1

    Do you own the house? If you dont you have no right to put a ad on the house. There is nothing stoping you from putting ads on your own house.

    If you own a website then you should be allowed to post ads on your website, these ads cover the cost of running the website and therfore are a nessesity. If you dont like it then start you own website...

    and then see how long it takes before you put ads on it.

  21. Re:Baseball hats? on Star Trek: Enterprise Premieres Tonight · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In most sci-fi worlds Spacecraft are always deemed as Navy. Look at the recent out in space movies/books:
    wing commander
    The reality disfunction
    starship troopers
    and many more that i cannot get my sleep deprived brain to think about.

    Personaly I always thought of it as old saliors sailed useing the stars, now they sail to them. So for me useing naval terms in space is cool...
    as long as there isnt a combined sea to space movie...that could get confusing.

  22. Re:Smash 'em up! on Why Can't LEGO Click? · · Score: 1

    I did this with boats...at the back of my friends house there was a slow moving stream and the idea was to build a boat that would a) move the fastest down the river, b) get over the "rapids", and c) keep the driver dry.

    We were not allowed to use the premaid boats, only our own imagination.

    Pools where much more fun though, lego docks, lego subs (ever try to zero balance a bunch of plastic) Engines where rubber bands with lego tecnic parts.

    I wanna be 10 again!

    Linux has much better controls for prevention of data loss and hardware missconfigure. At my old high school the background was always a nude or near nude picture that reflected whatever intrests the last person had who sat there.
