  1. Serial Ports on Real Time Vehicle Tracking Made Easy · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Is it just me or are there serial ports on this thing?

    look

    What are those for and are we allowed to play with them?

  2. Kinda stupid..... on ALICE vs. ALICE · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Alicebot already have an option in its java GUI where you can make it talk to it self?

    I remember doing this...why would I need a perl script?

  3. How about a tablet running a *good* distro? on New Tablet PCs With A Linux Option · · Score: 1

    We all know Lindows stinks like dead rotten fish, so how about one running Red Hat or maybe Debian, or another good linux distro... but Lindows?!?

  4. Galeon on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 1

    The question is....

    Did they rename another web browser to Galeon like they did with the word processor, or is it really Galeon?

  5. Is it just me..... on Windows Longhorn Screenshots Available Online · · Score: 1

    Or is microsoft focusing on UI only.

    I don't see any new features that are not GUI. Just new looks...

  6. Honeypots on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I consider myself pretty good with computer security. I even have a honeypot installed on my computer. To lure the crackers in, you must make it very easy to get into the honeypot. This all seems too easy...

    I don't think its a good idea for anybody to be jumping to conclusions about what his e-mail gets. That webmail account may have been created for the purpose of luring in crackers working for the US government. They may just forward all the junk and non-secret mail there.

  7. Re:Signed Hash on Encrypt Information In Images Without Distortion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course I could be completely wrong...but...

    If you resize the image, you get a different hash, but with this, you still get the authentication. And then when you have portions of the image changed you can tell what portions are changed... From what I can tell this is just a special "image hashing" and not Steganography at all.

    Of course, I could be completely wrong.

  8. Re:want to try one out? on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 1

    This is a JavaScript (or maybe a VBScript.)

    The window says its coming from Internet Explorer.

  9. Freeware version and I'm suprised.... on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 1

    There's already a freeware version called smbclient. You can get it from samba.org. Why pay $700? Knowing this, you can see that spammers can get a hold of a tool like this for little money.

    I'm also suprised somebody hasn't thought of this yet... With all those spammers trying to get by all the filters and everything...

  10. Re:legal? on Microsoft PR Rep is the Switcher · · Score: 1

    i stand corrected. wow. come to think of it, that assumption was really stupid.

  11. Re:All I can say is... on Microsoft PR Rep is the Switcher · · Score: 1

    Thats what watching 50 hours of UHF over and over again will do to you.

  12. the sick thing is.... on Microsoft PR Rep is the Switcher · · Score: 2, Insightful

    all the dishonesty.... its legal.

    they never made any connection from the woman to the article, they just placed it on the same page and hinted that she was writing it.

    (of course, i'm not a lawyer. so i could be 100% wrong.)

  13. Hillarious...... on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 1

    I wonder when they will make something like "why I switched from Linux to FreeBSD." (or vice versa if that suits you... I'm a linux person.)

  14. Re:Blender would be better accepted with a better on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is redundant, but....

    Blender has a pretty easy GUI compared to some of the other ones out there. Once you get the basics down its very easy. It *is* a one hand on keyboard, one hand on mouse kinda deal, but its just as complicated as say...maya.

    I too was once in a position of confusion... But then I went out to my local library and actually got a book on blender. The first chapter gave me a boost and I figuered out the rest on my own. Try it.

  15. blender.org not really slashdotted on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 0

    I was trying to view it before it was on slashdot and I got "too many connections" errors.

  16. CB or Ham? Piracy protection? on FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger · · Score: 0

    Yeah, this is pretty cool, but could it be adopted for CB or ham radio? Also, as things start to get digital, would you start getting copy protection, etc? That would be bad.

  17. first post on Google's Search Results Degraded? · · Score: -1, Troll

    first post

  18. Re:so then dr drew says on Interactive Fiction Competition 2002 Underway · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    thats the anthem, get your score not up!

  22. Re:Microsoft must love this. on New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder · · Score: 1

    O contrare, capi-tan!

    I think this is a great opprotunity for the good OGGs we all love and cherish.

  23. Re:Fix the keyboard! on Wireless Net on the Zaurus · · Score: 1

    You weren't using your thumbs were you?

    Hold the Zaurus with both hands, then use your thumbs like its a gameboy.

    Works really nicely.

  24. Re: When is the last time that you checked? on Is Red Hat the Microsoft of Linux? · · Score: 5, Informative
  25. Debian on Is Red Hat the Microsoft of Linux? · · Score: 1

    Red Hat, bahhh...

    UnitedLinux, bahhh...

    As long as I have my non-commercially corrupt Debian, I'm fine.

    Actually, I do have respect for Red Hat. They have by far the easiest distribution to set up, (my opinion, not a diss off) and I guess growing into a big company would worry people, and I think there should be some concern for making sure RedHat stays geeky and pure, but so far they have not forced you to use anything of theirs, for example you have choice between Tux and Apache.
