  1. Re:2002: The Year of Flying Pigs on Microsoft Stops New Work To Fix Bugs · · Score: 2

    Anyone want to guess what will be next?

    CmdrTaco will check the links in stories submitted to Slashdot, and will run his own commentary through a functional spell-checker before posting.

  2. Re:cheap solution on Recommendations for Digital Security Systems? · · Score: 2

    It might help if you could get your female employees to dress slutty, sometimes.

    If his female cow-orkers look anything like mine, I'd stay as far away from this as possible. The term "RCH" makes my stomach turn over now.

  3. Embedded Linux? on Oracle Switching To Linux · · Score: 2

    Does this mean that there is a chance our Oracle National ID cards will be running embedded Linux?

  4. Re:The war on The SEC and Fake Investment Sites · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because Bush is fighting for, rather than against, perhaps?

    Actually

    5:58 PM GMT January 28 to 6:04 PM GMT January 29 = 1446 minutes.

    Taken from that, 5372/1446 = 3.7150760719225449515905947441217 miles/minute = 222 mph

    ...ubiquitous .doc, .xls and .ppt files that are endemic in the corporate world.

    I think you misspelled "epidemic".

  10. gShield is very good on IPTables and Port Forwarding? · · Score: 2

    gShield is a nice package that uses well-commented config files and scripts to setup an iptables firewall. Quote from page:

    support for multiple NATs, configurable public service access, access control lists, routable protection, DMZ support, port-forwarding, MAC-specific filtering, configurable outgoing filtering, blacklists, support for transparent proxy, QoS marking of common transports and more.

    I use it at work and at home. One caveat since you are using Mandrake: gShield.rc is not a SysVinit script, so /sbin/ntsysv (or whatever SysVinit config tool you are using)will not be able to configure it into runlevels without modification. Personally, I am running it out of rc.local.

  11. Re:Wow. on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 2

    Search here for the phrase "Unlimited access".

  12. Re:How? on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 2

    Another post mentions that the isp can include a client-side script in web page that will return the client's ip address to the web server - which seems like a much better method to find multiple hosts hiding behind the firewall.

    Yes, but for that to work, Comcast would have to come up with content that actually is worth looking at. And, even if they managed that (in 18+ months they haven't), they'd make the script dependant on IE 6.0 "features", so that it would produce no result.

    could life on this planet be descended from alien spores?

    Shh. Keep it quiet, but you're on the right track. There's a documentary you should see, called "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". The government managed to spin-doctor it before it came out, but it ain't sci-fi, it's HISTORY man.

    Just paste 10+ pages of product names into a Word .doc, then sue anyone who complains when you email it to them. That should get the word out about you.
