  1. Re:What Effect Will This Have on Shareholder Value on How Do You Fight A Dress Code? · · Score: 1
    Yes, because Nazi comparisons always yield positive and productive results.

    Boss: "Well... of course we don't want to be Nazis!!! Cut-offs and Phish T-shirts for everyone!!!!! No no, use my bong, I insist! Would a Nazi offer to let you use his bong? I THINK NOT!"

  2. Why stores? on Half Keyboard, Full Bore · · Score: 1
    Pull off the keys and rearrange them yourself.

    Voila, instant Dvorak keyboard.

    Ever hear of detecting a loss in signal strength?

  4. "...I happily run Linux on all of my desktops..." on The Linux Desktop Obituary · · Score: 1

    I take it you're not playing Diablo 2 on a desktop...

  5. Re:Hmmm... on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 1
    I read somewhere that one of the artists working on the Final Fantasy movie said they were at the point, technologically, where their renders were actually looking MORE real than film, which is why they look kind of odd when you look at them. Not because you can see the shortcomings of 3D animation when juxtaposed with the real world, but because you can now see the hyperreality of the 3D world.

    More human than human...

  6. Re:crazy on Wiretapping, The Year in Review · · Score: 1

    The CIA wouldn't do something like this. They're too busy propping up banana republics and fighting South American druglords (competition sucks). ;)

  7. This is disturbing news... on Wiretapping, The Year in Review · · Score: 2
    Considering the main deterrent to placing a wiretap in the past has been the number of hoops one has to jump through to get one.

    So, they're getting easier to get, or the Feds don't mind jumping through those hoops so much anymore.

    I'm not sure which I find more disturbing.

  8. Irony, thy name is... on Virtual Addiction · · Score: 3

    Coming soon from OmegaMan Industries, LLC, is Booze-B-Gon, the corn liquor that helps you battle alcoholism!

    ... you gotta love "Seperate Ways" in MIDI. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it... *sniff*

  11. One can only hope... on Akira Game for PS2? · · Score: 1
    That it's better than "Last Battle," the Sega Genesis adaptation of "Fist of the North Star."

  12. Re:Nortel... on Hacking Wireless 802.11b Nets · · Score: 1

    My company uses a Nortel VPN solution as well. Just seizing the opportunity to poke fun. :-p

  13. Re:THE RIAA IS RIGHT on Napster Judge Groks Filename Variation · · Score: 1

    The US is a FAR cry from "completely capitalist" and has been for years.

    Then your ISP is likely to find some other excuse to terminate your account, ESPECIALLY if you are "less than courteous" during rebuttals.

    AUPs are a wonderful thing. :)

  15. I'm pretty sure... on Hacking Wireless 802.11b Nets · · Score: 1
    ... that this would fall under the "unauthorized access to computer systems" clause of numerous anti-hacking laws, whether any physical access was made or not.

    Now, prosecuting, or even getting the feds to listen to your sob story is another thing, considering no damage was done. The FBI quotes (IIRC) a $5k minimum on damages before they'll even talk to you, but in reality, you'd have to approach $100k or so, and be willing to air your company's lackluster security in the court of law, and of public opinion.

  16. Nortel... on Hacking Wireless 802.11b Nets · · Score: 2
    A mile or so away from Sun, the men find a small network at a building belonging to Nortel Networks Corp., which, among other things, sells VPN software. They can spot the network from the street; when they pull into the Nortel parking lot, Mr. Peterson was able to sit in the car and surf the Web, courtesy of Nortel's network. (Nortel wouldn't comment.)

    When a VPN vendor doesn't even use it's own software, it looks like it's time to pick a new VPN vendor... ;-)

  17. KKK? on Send out the Clones? · · Score: 1
    "Just wait until the KKK can begin brewing their own perfect children."

    To have a perfect clone, wouldn't one have to start with a perfect original? Good like finding anything remotely resembling "adequate," let alone "perfect," in the KKK. ;-)

  18. Funny thing is... on Linux for the PlayStation2:It's Official · · Score: 5
    The Dreamcast has had this for a while, albeit in a less professional (and much cheaper) version.

    A) The Game Boy Advance WILL connect to the upcoming GameCube

    B) You have seen this before. The NeoGeo Pocket could connect to the Dreamcast via a special serial cable.

    My phone has a Breakout clone on it, which is infinitely more entertaining that the snake game. ;)

  21. Re:Super Mario Brothers 3 on Gameboy Advance US Launch Details · · Score: 1

    Nintendo wouldn't need Sega for anything Mega Man related, since Mega Man is a Capcom property.
