  1. I created a simple PHP script to solve that on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Passwords Transmitted As Cleartext? · · Score: 1

    I'm a sysadmin. I send lots of passwords to users (on account creation, that is). Got tired of sending them in clear text (since they don't do GPG/PGP), or spelling them on the phone. So I created a simple php application that, under SSL, will encrypt your message on disk and offer it ONLY to the first visit (the message is destroyed on first read). I've been using it since, best bunch of hours spend on code. There: https://onetimepaste.org/

  2. Re:How about play in USB mode? on Next Generation of iPods to have Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    As root, or with sudo:

    eject /dev/sdX

    where X is the letter assigned to your iPod. And you'll be able to play your Ipod while connected to your computer.

  3. Rich and stupid? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you don't know how to clean your computer and it's cheaper to throw it away, please find some charity or way to make your computer available to those that can't even afford one.
    Probably their new owner will be willing to do the cleaning job or won't have internet connection to make spyware such a 'big' problem.

  4. The one without a browser on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Or an email client. Those eat my time.

  5. Dell sales @ Spain on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    When you buy a Dell in Spain you:

    a) Must agree (in the web form) that:
    - It's you the one using the computer/PDA
    - You are not selling the computer to one of those bad countries

    b) Must inform them if you're controlling weapons or nuclear stuff with the computer (or printer, since the form is the same).

    Maybe some other stupid questions, that I can't remember.

  6. CRM114 works much better for me on Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout · · Score: 1

    I've been using it since March and the stats talk form themselves:
    My spamfilters stats.
    It's worth mentioning that I don't get false positives with SA, and CRM114 gets 1 every now and then. On a daily basis I get 70 spams caught by CRM114 and not by SA.

  7. /. just does the same on Spanish Internet Provider's SMTP traffic Blocked · · Score: 1

    All users of Telefonica's (spain biggest ISP) DSL service have to suffer their fucking 'transparent' proxies. And sites like slashdot insist on setting those proxies on their shit list. So It's quite frequent that lots of spanish 'Nerds' don't get Stuff that 'matters'.

    Thanks Telefonica, and the rest of the world, for nothing.

  8. I heard US people we self centric on Nuclear Powered Mission to Jovian Moons · · Score: 2, Funny
    But this is ridiculous!
    > designed specifically to search for liquid water and signs of life on Europa
    We are here! There's life in France, Italy, Spain, UK..... well maybe not there.. ;)
    Sending a 'space' mission to search for us... Oh! you said nuclear powered? So they call 'them' space missions now.
  9. Resistance is futile on Perens: Unite behind Debian, UserLinux · · Score: 1, Funny

    You'll be packaged (.deb of course)

  10. As long as... on Microsoft Money Leads To Street-Legal Porsche 959s · · Score: 0, Troll
    ... Gates plays the crash test dummy, it seems OK to me.

    Gates 'suggested to Canepa that perhaps they could federalize the car by buying a number of sacrificial 959s to "crash and test."'
  11. Scroll wheel on Top 10 Things Wrong With Linux, Today · · Score: 1
    The KDE 3 bug he's talking about is a user-interface change in konqueror: form elements can be changed by mousing-over them and turning the scroll wheel, which is very bad. Hopefully the KDE guys will roll this change back to the previous behavior.

    That's not a bug. If you don't want to change the list selection with the wheel. DON'T put your mouse ON it AND scroll the WHEEL! I don't want to open the whole damn list, so I don't click on the arrow and call it a bug. Duh!
  12. Re:SuSE 8.0 on SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping · · Score: 2, Informative

    > free security updates, unlike RedHat

    AFAIK all Linux distros offer free security updates. And even not security related updates. Including RedHat.

  13. Wake me up... on Organic Screens, Coming Soon · · Score: 1

  15. What about Peace? on Your Holiday Present Wish List · · Score: 1

    There was a time when (almost) everyone wanted peace in the world.
    Yopy and a MP3 player for my car are OK, but there's lots of people suffering out there.
    Let's make Peace one of ours wish list entries.

  16. Re:One site already gone on Yahoo/Geocities IP Trouble · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't mind, I copied your webpage and put it on my Geocities site.
    http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/8393/

    BTW, since the content owner of that page is Geonazis and the content owner of my page is Geonazis too, are they violating their own copyrights?
