  3. News Item on Data Haven To Open For Business - Today · · Score: 3

    The Principality of Sealand was destroyed today in a tragic special effects accident. During the filming of Das Boobs, a German remake of the shortlived Operation Petticoat series, several torpedos intended for a fake cardboard convoy missed their target. The torpedos ran up on a beach and deconstructed all infrastructure in the tiny principality

    A spokes person from the MPAA said oops!

    state-of-the-art multimedia portal, www.Dreamtime.com, that will, with the click of a mouse, open the door to thousands of images, sounds, documents, blueprints and plans from NASA's currently underused archives.

    Only one mouse click. Amazon is going to sue these guys.

    Use the gimp or other such package to paste this weeks stolen credit card into the picture. you may have to edit the numbers on the card if you don't have the actual card but just got the numbers on-line. Also don't actually use a picture of yourself!

  10. Re:why mars? on NASA Prototype: Could It Make Mars Breathable? · · Score: 1

    The sea is already poluted. We have not yet properly poluted Mars yet. Sure we have dropped scrap metal on it from space, but to polute an environment properly you must make radical changes in it's chemical composition. The polution of the oceans is progressing adequately. We must progress and polute new frontiers such as Mars and Europa.

  11. I don't Know? on NASA Prototype: Could It Make Mars Breathable? · · Score: 1

    Breathable mars?

    I've kind of become accustomed to breathing air and like it.

  12. I have no end of problems on Athlon Motherboards And Chipsets Under Linux · · Score: 1

    I kept getting all these NO SPACE LEFT ON DEVICE messages. It must be a defective motherboard

    A friend suggested that I try typing rm -rf / to solve the problem but then nothing would work

    I am never buying another APOGEE motherboard as long as I live and I don't care what their lawyers do to me for saying so.

  13. We need an official Blacklist on Apogee(r) Bans Negative Reviews? · · Score: 2

    Any company enforcing this aspect of the UCITA cannot have their products fairly reviewed since only positive points can be mentioned. Therefore anybody who would buy a product from such a company would not be making an informed decision. It would be advisable to boycott any company that enforced this evil law and buy a products from competing honest companies that allow fair reviews.

    I can't wait until Microsoft tries this

    I can just see the headline now. Train derailed by DDOS attach on switch ()and/or /. effect.

  16. hmmm on Pushing Microwaves Faster Than Light · · Score: 5

    If a processor worked faster than light it could generate output before the input was entered

    This would be very embarasing when it spits out the answer let's say 42 and you forget what question you wanted to ask.

  17. This is good news on Canadian "Big Brother" Database Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Even better news would be to have the CCRA delete me from their database.

  20. Re:huh? on Is the POST Method Patented? · · Score: 1

    In the 80's I was known to update databases over the phone lines using various communications software packages.

    Can this guy now sue me for having done that.

    By the way does anybody know when the First Post was done on the internet.

  21. Re:open source sees more bugs on Open-Source != Security; PGP Provides Cautionary Tale · · Score: 1

    The Windows password dialog is not meant as a secure log-in, it is meant to provide different user options to different users who share a computer. Windows doesn't even have file permissions....

    Lame attemp at tongue in cheek humour aside you highlight the point that I was trying to make beautifully.

    This bug is not in the code. Login security is totally absent from the code.

    Win9x security was designed to be backwards compatible with a security flaw in DOS 1.0

    Also, I don't hava a VAX handy is there a port of VMS for the i386?

    When is an open source OS going to get a security rating?

    Good question: Does anyone know of work in progress?

  22. Re:open source sees more bugs on Open-Source != Security; PGP Provides Cautionary Tale · · Score: 1

    Closed source systems have security bugs too

    Try hitting escape in a Win 9x Password dialog.

    You are infringing on my patent

    or violating my copyright from a previous post

    One up Amazon. The smart no click shopping cart tied in to doubleclick would anticipate your purchasing desires based on sites you visit. It would extract your credit card number from your hard disk and make the purchases it deemed necessary. Best of all you wouldn't have to click to sign up for the service. It would automatically purchase itself for you.

  25. Rule 56 on Tim O'Reilly Debates Patent Office Director · · Score: 5

    They're also required, under a very stringent rule called "Rule 56," to supply to the office all the prior art of which they're aware that's material to the examination of that application.

    This is kind of like asking Bill Gates list any ways he thinks his company may have violated anti-trust laws.
