  1. I am Spartacus! on U.S. Congress Authorizes Offensive Use of Cyberwarfare · · Score: 1

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_(film) Well I am!

    So how does the US defend or any other Country for that matter against a syn ack or my deep packet inspection back to GCHQ http://www.gchq.gov.uk/Pages/homepage.aspx I don't even work for them, as I am better and they use BT Integrated Accommodation Services Ltd.

    That is a company for spying! Nothing you do is private; but can I penetrate as a hacker? Maybe, and If I said I was a CDC member Cult of the Dead Cow and do anything illegal? No. Philosophy states; if I want in as a hacker; you would have never seen me coming and pulling an rm-rf of /var/logs is not where the real log files are stored!

    Thanks to my friend fydor http://www.sectools.org/ | might go unseen, but a true hacker... maybe he is spartacus. Remember it only takes 1 to get in! binary finary :P

  2. Correction fluid! on Russia Botches Another Rocket Launch · · Score: 1

    There are always problems with any Space Travel. The Rocket is nearly 50 years old for gods sake! NASA knows that they cannot continue with their space program or shuttle due to the amount of space debris it creates and this is a serious problem for all craft.

    Most people are not told about the knocking out of satellites and the threats. But the international space station is just a piece of space junk. Either way you shall see the Russians' excel in space travel.

    NASA needs to get a grip and tell the truth! The Russians are not afraid of telling the truth; besides if you want 6 people back to Earth in May 2012; I edge my bets that in February 2012 there is an emergency and they all have to bail out of the ISS.

    As always everything regarding space travel is risky.

    I have said enough but hope it does not come to the bailout in Feb!

  3. OVH Networks on Ask Slashdot: Best Inexpensive VPS Provider? · · Score: 1

    OVH Networks is the best unless you are in London and can use the LinX network. I know because I am called up in the middle of the night to fix issues for British Telecom Tier 4 and know all the exchanges in the UK and main hubs.

    OVH is your bitch! Merry Christmas :)

  4. Re:Spellink chekers. Duh! on The Curious Case of Increasing Misspelling Rates On Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Every web browser as auto spell-check capabilities these days. Most of them correct as you type.

    Auto-correction based on your language pack or your failure to completely comprehend the English language. You are American so you are excused.

    Therefore I rest my case!

    So why should there be any misspellings on something that is managed strictly from a web interface?

    Is it part of the arrogance of those electing themselves to write and editing articles on wiki that they refuse to use a spell checker, or
    is it that the words are simply unknown to the normal spell-check dictionaries?

    I find occasional misspellings in mainstream news articles as well (and I am by no means a natural born speller).

    But most maddening to me is the "they're their there" errors, and similar wrong word usage.
    Spell checkers offer little help in catching these, but a 6th grade education usually suffices.

    Maybe the same people who wont waist there time checking they're spelling also cant be bothered to use the write word. ;-)

  5. Re:GoDaddy as a matter of fact on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 1

    Anyone in the industry has known to avoid GoDaddy for domains. Their sole existence is based on commercials and advertisements, not good service. It's a perfect example that advertisements works too. This news isn't exactly surprising and will do nothing to GoDaddy's market share.

    Use Domain Registry of America / Domain Renewal Group / Grey Hare Inc / Brandon Grey Internet Services / Wild West Domains / dba / Namejuice.com all in cahoots with Enom Inc.

    Stay away from the domain slammers marked above and no Enom Inc will not sue me because they actively steal domain names with the above companies Banned in the US but still operate. I will go one further and have created a .pdf and uploaded it for you so you can read the really really small print http://www.fluxradio.org/droa.pdf

    Do not get caught out as many have!

    All the best NSN

  6. Re:I would not worry on Ask Slashdot: Ideal High School Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    In fairness to computer scientists who do discover new techniques and algorithms that can have a substantial impact upon humanity, what does adding a new element onto the end of the period table really accomplish any more? Dmitri Mendeleev has certainly been proven over and over again that his "discovery" was very useful and some profound insights can be found from a purposeful study of that table, but most of the new elements only have dozens or fewer atoms that you can play with.... assuming you are the lead researcher in a team which has access to the equipment necessary to push on toward the end of the periodic table anyway.

    Heck, discovering a new element isn't even a place where you can make an impact in terms of physics. I would suggest that discovering a new planet is something a whole lot more worthwhile, and something that perhaps even a classroom full of kids in high school could accomplish with some of the tools that are available now for astronomical research. It certainly is a field with more data than researchers can keep up with, and something for which a room full of budding computer technicians and researchers might be able to come up with new ways to cope with that fire hose of data spewing forth. Folks who are working to find new elements are happy if they provide a new data point for some physical property of elements, like discovering that Bismuth actually has a half-life.

    You need a serious modding up for your post thank you for saying what I wanted to!

  7. Re:Only me! on Do You Have the Right Stuff To Be an Astronaut? · · Score: 0

    In the United States, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and many other English-speaking nations, a professional space traveler is called an astronaut.

    So what part of that did you not understand?

    I understand correctly; but appreciate your uncanny below the belt comment. If you truly understood what you were talking about you would be dangerous. That is a below the belt reply. Obviously that was not what you were expecting anonymous coward!

  18. Is this a bad thing? on Upcoming EU Data Law Will Make Europe Tricky For Social Networks · · Score: 2

    http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/en.html Lets face it social networks are scum. I do not do face palm, twitter or any other social networking sites. It is better for you not to follow the sheep for publicity use either as an individual or a business.

    The best overview of Social Networks based on my life experience of well over 40 years, is simply like real life friends and so called friends. When you have money, a nice car, a nice house etc people want to know you. The same if you are famous. When all your money and fame disappears, so do the "flies around shit" and you are only left with a handful of true friends :)

    Just like politicians and most media; they will run from one "Crisis to the next". Once you can get your mind around that truth... truly it really does help you feel more at peace with yourself and others.
