  1. Re:I believe this was designed for specific use on Security Flaws Allow Wiretaps to be Evaded · · Score: 1

    Well that was a bit of a streach, but I am confident that those that are in power, and their minions know all about the features of even the newer wire tapping systems. There will be for shure ways to disable it or detect it for those whom are in power.

    I bet the politicans were the first to know about this "feature".

  3. Ya right, save me money, I remember ... on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When we had analog tv via the air, and the big thing about having cable and paying for it, was to be no or fewer commercials. Well today, we pay for cable, the show, and have more commercials than ever before. I dont believe it will save any money, but instead cost us at least 25% more than we pay now for the same thing.

    If I keep looking at it. I think I see smerfs? But then I decided to run it in Adobe and play around a bit. It looks like bubbles on a blue background.

  7. Not bad on Super Door of the Future · · Score: 5, Informative

    Looking at the video, it is a good idea. Their opto sensors which are in the ends of the slides are not as responsive as they should be, but this is a minor diffculty.

    Good applications would be between walls of warehouse and shipping. Which could still maintain as a firewall sould one occur.

    Additional sensor could be added to detect object other than those centered on the door. Software even in the example could tell the ones above or below to open for at least a 2" minimal clearance.

    Again, good concept, just needs a bit of polish.

  8. They will see.... on Disney World Collecting Fingerprints · · Score: 5, Funny

    My middle finger for sure.... before they see me.

  9. Hrumpfff on Keeping a Data Center Cool on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    Currently we have 12 servers, running inside an warehouse in Texas, with NO airconditioning. Proper ventlation of the servers and room, and we have experienced NO problems for over two years.

    Of course these are older servers, that have plenty of room and clearance in their cases. Those super compact R1 servers with a ton of heat in a small area are just asking for problems. All of that is due to centers thinking they need to have a 40LB cat in a 10LB bag.

  10. Maybe you could be the first! on BPL: The Internet's Fool's Gold · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, PLC/BPL does indeed create interference. No one questions that. The question is--is it sufficient to interfere with essential services? So far the answer appears to be no

    Maybe when your in the meat wagon, and they call in to the doctor, and cant understand the medication quanity they will shoot into your heart, you could be the FIRST to say BPL is crap, and it does interfere.

  11. To bad LinuxWorld doesnt get it... on LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns · · Score: 1


    Instead of viewers going to see whats happening and declaring a /.ing a DOS attack, they could have held up some some integrity, and they would be saying BUY MORE SERVER'S NOW! and jumping with joy over the exposure.

    I thought this was why scox went up, but when we looked at the time it went up, it didnt conside with the error. Oh well, guess its just a pump/dump for monday.

    PJ's take lets move on:

    Authored by: PJ on Sunday, May 08 2005 @ 10:45 AM EDT
    I agree. The person who originally suggested you all
    go and look used a Long Island, NY, IP address, and
    guess where you-know-who lives?

    If we make the above assumption, we may deduce that
    this was done for one of the following reasons:

    1. to get you guys mad so you would act like "extremists" so
    MOG and the mob can attack you again;

    2. to get me mad so I sue her for slander, thus revealing
    where I really live;

    3. to set me up for the next "suicide" -- over my
    "distress"
    over "losing" my privacy. I have had some, including one
    ex SCO employee, suggest this latter scenario as being
    plausible. It seems not everyone in Utah thinks the
    "suicides" were suicides.

    Just in case 3 is true, let me state for the record that I
    couldn't care less what MOG thinks of me, even if what
    she wrote were true. I also don't care what anyone else
    thinks. I'm proud of who I am and the choices I've made
    in my life. I don't even care if Groklaw came to an end
    tomorrow. I have no ambition, never have, didn't do
    Groklaw to become famous or rich, so I truly don't
    care. I would never commit suicide over anything, because
    I think it's wrong, and I surely wouldn't over anything MOG
    wrote, for I hold her in the deepest disdain, when I'm not
    laughing at her.

  17. Your so wrong on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    First, as others have pointed out, most of what you say is mute. In your reference to using a 50$ bill to say pay for a bus ticket, actually they will gladly take it. What is stated is "we will not make change for more than a 20$ bill" So yes, you can still purchase the ticket, but dont expect change.

  18. Congrads Theo! on Theo de Raadt gets 2004 FSF Award · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I use Linux every day, and appreciate the fact that I have a good method to connect to my servers in a secure manner, thanks to Theo.

    And I want to thank him for his other contributions, as it has made me some good cash, installing BSD boxes in front of Windows email servers with packet filtering!

    Again Thanks Theo. I wish this type of stuff could reach more mainstream news, but we can all know just like other major happenings in the world, there is a army of unsung heros who make things happen.

  20. Why region coding when their all made in asia? on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Tying a price to any currency, is strange. Just because the main co is from usa, they want to be able to calcuate in dollars for some reason. Since the majority of cartridges are made in asia anyways. Mabye they could tie it to Singapore dollars. That way they will feel even better.
