  1. Re:Institute for /. server trauma... on The Institute for Backup Trauma · · Score: 4, Informative

    The nyud.net mirror seems to be holding up for me at least.

  2. DNS down on Inspecting MSN Search · · Score: 1

    Both DNS servers for gsharma.com seem to be down at the moment, or at least not responding properly to DNS requests. Web site's still up, though -- if you're having problems, add the following to your hosts file:

    207.58.133.70 www.gsharma.com

    Just finished downloading, and the official file does match the posted torrent.

  4. Download Link on Exeem Open Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Download link did not appear on the linked download.htm page for me, but is apparantly here: http://download.exeem.com/eXeem0.20.exe

  5. "Frank" not a member of Matine on Online Groups Behind Bulk of Bootleg Films (& Games) · · Score: 1

    Apparantly "Frank" as interviewed in the article is not a Matine member, see here.

  6. Re:conection to landlines? on VOIP Meets Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I'd venture to guess that outgoing calls made to the local calling area of their datacenter(s)/incoming switch(es) would be sent via the landline network... In other words, if they have their equipment located at their offices in Wayne, PA, any outgoing cellphone calls to Wayne, PA and surrounding areas (Villanova, Bryn Mawr, etc) would go out over standard phone lines instead of VOIP, since it's cheaper for them.

  7. Mirror on Recycling Gone Wrong: The AOL Throne · · Score: 5, Informative
  8. Usenet post on Are Your Peripherals Monitoring You? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Original usenet post from comp.periphs.printers on Google Groups here, or here for a news: link.

  9. winwarez.jpg on Warezed SoundForge Files In Windows Media Player · · Score: 2, Informative

    In case the linked JPG goes down, mirrored here: http://img41.exs.cx/img41/9093/winwarez.jpg

  10. Site not looking up on Is "Marketingspeak" Killing Technology? · · Score: 1

    www.sys-con.com isn't looking up for me. You'd think that with 4 DNS servers on their domain record, one would work.

  11. Ikea on Chairs that Won't Wreck Your Back? · · Score: 1

    My Allak chair from Ikea is pretty comfy, and only cost $89.

    I can't seem to find it on the Ikea USA website, so it could be that it was cheap because it's a model that's being retired. Bought it 2 weeks ago at the brand new Ikea in CT.

  12. Colossal Storage Corp.'s Website on 100 Terabyte 3.5-inch Optical Storage · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.colossalstorage.net/ -- it's pretty ghetto, in a circa 1996 sort of way. Animated GIFs abound.

  13. Graphics inaccuracies on 100 Terabyte 3.5-inch Optical Storage · · Score: 5, Informative

    The graphic in the article says 10 petabyte, not 100 terabyte. That's a factor of 100 different.

    Also, the second graphic refers to Seagate and "Maxstor"... perhaps they mean Maxtor?

    If Colossal Storage Corp. can't even get their infographics right, I don't know what that says about their ability to make these drives.

  14. Re:Updates on CERT Warns Of Multiple Vulnerabilities In Libpng · · Score: 1

    I mean FF1.9.3 of course. Lack of coffee this morning :P

  15. Re:Updates on CERT Warns Of Multiple Vulnerabilities In Libpng · · Score: 1

    Correct - FB1.9.3 has a fix for bug 251381.

  16. new channel lineup? on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 1

    I have Comcast (have had them since they bought Storer Cable back in 1988), but have never gotten (or even seen) TechTV. Maybe they'll add it to my channel lineup, it sounds like an interesting channel.

  17. Mirror? on Can Your ATM Play Beethoven? · · Score: 1

    Site slashdotted...anybody have a mirror?

    I took a look at the videos, looks like Baker Hall at CMU (where the PNC ATM used to be). They have two shiny in-wall Mellon Bank ATMs in the University Center (which most students use), so it shouldn't have been as major a security problem as if it was the only ATM on campus.

  18. Like Word's AutoSummarize on Computers Paraphrase English · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This reminds me of Microsoft's AutoSummarize feature, which has been a feature since for quite some time (I seem to remember using it in high school with Word 6)... That feature basically tried to keep the first, last, and topic sentence of each paragraph, more or less, and you could give it a percentage value to shrink the text down to. (ie. 50% to excerpt half the original text)

  19. Re:VPN on Comparing Wireless Internet Services · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem isn't bandwidth, it's latency. Cellular links have a minimum of 300ms pings and a fair amount of packet loss. Interactive applications like VPN and VNC are more affected by this than simple downloads, unrelated to bandwidth requirements.

  20. Re:Transporter Speed on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even one single lepton out of place in the reassembly and you've materially changed that person's psychic makeup.

    Jeez... what do you think the Hiesenberg Compensators are for?

    Image server became non-hosed, so images are up. Full page mirror now at http://pages.cthome.net/strom/mozillabranding/.

  23. HTML file mirror on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    HTML mirror here. Image server is hosed, so I couldn't get the images.

  24. Re:What about Paypal Virtual Debit Cards? on Paying for Apple iTunes with PayPal · · Score: 1

    No, I'm 100% certain you can use it anywhere. They do have a shops section which lists all the online stores that take paypal payments directly, but there's a link which says "Shop Anywhere" and goes to the virtual debit card page... I've used it to buy stuff from random pricewatch vendors, for example.

  25. What about Paypal Virtual Debit Cards? on Paying for Apple iTunes with PayPal · · Score: 1

    Why should you need this "service"? Paypal already offers a virtual debit card service (see here, requires paypal login) where their system will generate a mastercard number and expiration date which you can use to buy items against your paypal balance from any online store that takes credit cards...
