  1. I actually go to O'Terrills on Homemade Robot Patrols Atlanta Streets · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And the bot is a hit. He actually talks to the cops that come in from time to time, and they love it. Rufus has to deal with these homeless wastes of space coming in, harassing the customers, and trying to steal shit all the time.

    He actually owns most of the entire block, and everyone supports him. That poor shitty homeless shelter down the street sure fucks things up all around the entire area.

    He has actually ran for Gov. I believe, and came in last every time, but hell.... I think cities need crazy old guys like this.

    Before you bother white knighting for the 'poor homeless chaps' down the road, you should hang out for a couple of hours, and watch them smoke crack, huff paint, and harass poor passer-by.

  2. Re:Undernet, is that you? on Trojan Analysis Leads To Russian Data Hoard · · Score: 1

    thats just a colo company here in atlanta. cyberwurx. shitty colo w/ bad routes.

  3. IPplan on Managing Lots of IP Addresses? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Hello 30 seconds on google:

    http://iptrack.sourceforge.net/

  4. Re:I thought it was generally known on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    because there is a huge difference between downloading 700m vs. downloading 4.2gb

  5. Re:BCS on Finding the Perfect Family Game · · Score: 1

    I think my brain just exploded.
    You referred to football and D&D in the same sentence.

    I for one, will enjoy margeritas in hell.

  6. open webmail. on Which Webmail Service Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    Totally perl based, and rather thourough.
    I use it on a medium end coloc machine, and it runs wonderfully.
    Here is the primary mirror site dealie. It has pop3 support, webdisk support, and a calander w/ reminder/notification support.

    Been using it since it was Neomail, and I haven't had a single problem.

  7. Hahahaha. on Getting Law Enforcement Action for a Large-Scale Hack? · · Score: 1

    You are afraid that the hacker will notice if you submit the information via a compromised httpd, but find no problems at all about your story making the front page of Slashdot?
    You'd be shocked to know how many times that I've been hacked and found most of my information on the hacker from their posts on /.

    Just my wooden nickel.

  8. Jazz on Slashdot? on What Jazz Records Would You Reccommend? · · Score: 2, Informative

    omg, has the world collapsed?

    regardless of the collapse, I'd recommend most anything from John Coltrane, and seriously recommend anothing by Liquid Soul. Its that kinda jazzy grooby jazz that make syou wanna get naked and find pictures of famous movie starts to Photoshop yourself into.

    Its serioulsy *that* good.

    They have a cover called "salt Peanuts" that may sound familiar to some of you old skool jazz ppls, but their take on it might open up a new avenus of swet sounds to all you "youngsters" ;)

    I have the mp3s available, but only to those that ask. I don't need an RIAA enema today =]

  9. Re:Toilet paper... on Caldera vs. Microsoft Court Documents To Be Shredded · · Score: 1

    Hey, I did say I was an asshole, didn't I?

  10. Re:Toilet paper... on Caldera vs. Microsoft Court Documents To Be Shredded · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hi, I'm just some asshole, and I'd like this to get modded up to a +5 just to continue this amazing trend.

  11. Seriously good sci-fi on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I am also a big sci-fi buff, end up reading about one book/week. My personal favorite is Nancy Kress, she has a serious on geneticlly altered children and how they cope. VERY good stuff.
    Also if you like sci-fi w/ a good sense of humor, try Steven Brust. He has a "Taltos" series thats kinda fantasy, but still damn good. Brust also has some more hard core sci-fi titles, but i'll let you find those on your own ;)

    Robert Asprin is pretty good, but again, hes more of a fantasy tilt. The best place to find new good sci-fi IMHO would be the Issac Asimovs monthly magazine. They have short stories, novellas, and novellettes. Thats where i've found most of the outstanding authors i've come across.
    Happy hunting!

  12. Re:Not the fault of P2P. on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 1

    What about ftp?
    They can't outlaw ftp across the board.
    Thats how most ppl i know get DivX and svcd anyways.
    p2p is for people w/o a good non-leech login ;)

  13. Re: This WILL screw up the warranty! on Casemodding Enterprise Hardware · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. If i was a Sun tech and i got called out to a site with these mad muvvas, i'd nut in my pants and then fall overmyself talking to the guy.

  14. dot tk!! on Tiny ccTLDs - Who Should You Register With? · · Score: 1

    dot tk is fairly cool. Not only super cheap @ $10USD/year, but they also have that whole jeweled isle feel to it. Slap a rather decent webdeisgtn on it and check out the online interface dealie, and you don't have that bad of a package for your buck. I've had my domain with them and even registered a fre of the free pointer domains. All in all a good setup.

  15. Re:A good test case for the 'Marketability' of pir on Eminem #2 on Gracenote... Before Release · · Score: 4, Insightful
    *near* perfect. Thats the whole issue really. Sure i had a copy of the new Eminem, and yes, i've allready bought the new one. Theres just something about having the actual pressed disk with all of the liner notes and etc that make buying it worthwhile. The main reason that i think people pirate cds so much is because honestly, $15 for 80 mins of music is insane. I remember buying cassette tapes for $5 BRAND SPANKING NEW at the Turtles down the road.

    They increase the price of new music in order to make up for supposed piracy, which in turn makes people more likely to pirate. Its a catch22 of the WORSE kind.

  16. Re:Contemplate that on Music 20 Cents a Track in India · · Score: 1

    $16 plane ticket as opposed to a $3.50 bus pass mebbe?

  17. Re:Jar Jar Has Been Removed from Episode One on Star Wars Episode II Trailer Tonight · · Score: 1

  18. xfce on Lightweight Window Managers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Aside from it looking a bit like CDE of pre-gnome Solaris fame, its actually a nice little wm. Totally configurable, fast as hell, small footprint, everything you could want or need. Even has its own desktop background and sound apps. I actually use this on one of my high-end Dell machines @ work, and haven't had a single problem with it.

    www.xfce.org is where its at!

  19. Re:Another one to the list on More Copy Protected CDs? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can usually get around this by going into the Winamp "Options" by clicking in the top left, and going to Play: then "Audio CD $CDROM" where $CDROM is the correct drive letter. This lets me play 99% of the Enhanced cds i have.

  20. Re:Simposons Reference on Wil Wheaton Responds to your Questions. · · Score: 1

    D'oh. I stand corrected.
    You are correct about the episode.
    man.. there goes all of my self induced simpsons-leetness... :/

  21. Simposons Reference on Wil Wheaton Responds to your Questions. · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did no one else catch the Simpsons reference?

    The important thing is, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time

    It was said by GrandPa simpson where he was yammering on and on and did nothing but segue...

    From the story about how hitler had stolen the number 20 and they had to use the word dickety.

    I throughly enjoyed the interview, and Wil Wheaton on ST:TNG. Reading his website and this interview just goes to prove how cool of a guy he is.

    My god Wil. Just think, you just aquired yourself an army of geeks to do your bidding!!

  22. ok, i'll bite. on Quirky Engineers Gone the Way of the Dinosaur? · · Score: 1

    I'll bring up soemthing that i haven't seen yet about this story. Most of the guru/quirky type people we have at my shop are usually the potheaded hippy types. If i walked down to our NOC and asked around, i could probably find almost any drug i wanted for purchase. I didn't really notice this untill i had been to a few sysadmin nests/NOCs. Something about how insane you are is directly proportional to your skill, which is directly proportional to the amount of pot you smoke. Hey, gotta love it!

  23. http://www.asu.net/wtc/wtc56.jpg on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    http://www.asu.net/wtc/wtc56.jpg

    For the gruesome in you.

    :(

  24. I am crackheaded.. on Tom's Looks At The New P-III · · Score: 1

    Am i the only one who spent the first 30 secs reading that as "Tom looks at the new Pill" ? Mebbe i've watched the Matrix too many times. I dunno. It made me laugh.

  25. Yanno what? on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 1

    For once, i think i see some good in the usless army of script kiddies that are around. Just convince them that by posting this so called "copywrighted bullshit" to all their neat little hacked pages. Wouldn't that be fun? I've read off and on about these freaks and it amazes me how much pull and power they have. I mean THEY CONVINCED JOHN TRAVOLTA TO DO A BAD MOV.. er.. wait.. nm. he does that all the time. bah. oh well, screw scientologists, and screw their wacky little machines, and ESPECIALLY screw their bullshit church dogma.
