  1. Well... on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1

    ...someone said that the human mouth is a sexual organ that some perverts use to talk with.

  2. Re:Print to PDF on Getting Around PDF Rights Restrictions? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sadly no, it doesn't. But at least it lets you keep a copy of the form with the actual content that you filled in. It sure beats a hardcopy, and you can make minor changes in any part of the file.

  3. Print to PDF on Getting Around PDF Rights Restrictions? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Easy. Print to PDF. Re-edit. Rinse. Repeat.
    In windows, try PrimoPDF -powered by Ghostscript- to get a new PDF with the form filled out, so yo can keep an electronic copy around. If you need to make minor modifications use a PDF editor like Foxit.
    In linux a straight print to file and a ps2pdf will do for the first part, and you can edit the filled-out PDF with scribus.

  4. Miranda IM on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I use Kopete under Linux, but I recommend Miranda IM to every Windows user out there. Miranda has a plethora of plugins for everything from IM protocols to a very useful boss key, including message encryption and voice support.

  5. Linksys WRT54G on Wireless/Wired Router Solutions for 2 Networks? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can get two Linksys WRT54Gs for about US$120. Configure one as a router and keep your inlaws in the wireless segment. Configure the other one as a bridge to be your firewalled network zone. If absolutely necessary, you can give them access to the wired segment in the outmost router and still keep them out of the innermost, trusted network.
    If you have some spare time reflash the WRTs with OpenWRT for extra flexibility. While you're at it, you might want to score a few extra points with your inlaws by migrating their PCs to Linux, or at least installing Ad-Aware and Spyware S&D ;-)

  6. OpenWRT+meshdog on Rental Home Wireless Networks? · · Score: 1

    Once I get a spare WRT54G I'll install an open hotspot using OpenWRT and meshdog. You can set up OpenWRT in a snap (the Wiki was *very* useful) and the packages are installed using a debian-like tool aptly named ipkg.

  7. Sabrent enclosure on External Hard Drive Enclosures? · · Score: 2, Informative

    After I upgraded my laptop's HD I got a SABRENT SBT-EKU25 External Enclosure for the old drive. It's USB powered, it's incredibly lightweight and works great under Linux and Windows.

  8. Does this mean... on CertainKey To Pay $10,000 For MD5 Collision · · Score: 1

    ...that these same guys found cost-effective means to crack not just one, but *two* widely-used hash algorithms?

  9. Does it run under WINE? on Bejeweled 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Has anyone had success running it under WINE?
    I get

    err:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW cannot set directory L"C:\\Program Files\\PopCap Games\\Bejeweled 2 Deluxe\\Install.log"
    fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAcl A 1 0x43fa0ff4 (nil) 0x43fa1074
    fixme:shell:Stream_WriteLocationInfo writing empty location info
    Wine failed with return code 10

    under Debian's wine 0.0.20040716-1

  10. Not a bad name... on Lindows Agreeing to Change Name · · Score: 1

    In Spanish, "Lindos" is the plural for "cute"... But it does have other meanings as well...

  11. Re:The consumer wins! on Microsoft's Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    ...but only while as Microsoft Tunes (msTunes?) strives to get everyone else out of business. Observe what has happened to every other segment that Microsoft has got a monopoly in. Now extrapolate what will happen as soon as Microsoft becomes the monopoly in the music download market.

  12. There's more than one way to do it on Open Source Software for Print Tiling? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Little known fact: inside the distribution for the DBIx::SchemaView perl module there's a PostScript::Poster module. You can write a one-liner with it:
    perl -MPostScript::Poster -e 'print PostScript::Poster->new->posterize(-infile=>"mozil la.ps",-outfile=>"poster.ps", -scale=>2)'

  13. Dallas Semiconductor's 1-Wire Weather Station on Low-Budget Home Weather Stations? · · Score: 2, Informative
  14. Protect freedom by destroying it on What's Now State of the Art in Encryption Technology? · · Score: 1

    What hits me as immensely ironic is the fact that if the congress starts restricting civil liberties arbitrarily, the terrorist attacks will finally achieve their apparent objective: to destroy the Land of The Free.

  15. He on Intel to Release Pentium 1.13Ghz · · Score: 2

    I guess you'll be able to toast bread on that wafer. Can't wait to get my hands on one...
