  1. A simple way to get around this. on Software To Stop Song Trading · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I didn't read the article, but on first glance I'd say that if what you sent was encrypted, there would be no way for a program to sniff and see what was being sent.

    I mean if the Segway was every 3rd object on the sidewalk, yeah it'd be a problem. But my guess is that maybe it's like 1 out of every 5000.

That's why I think that the Segway will never be that popular, it's too expensive and only the super rich and those that have advertising revenue streams will be able to use it.

  9. Re:The subject says it all on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

  10. Re:"Salaried" usually equals "hourly" anyways on IT Workers Not Eligible for Overtime in New Rules · · Score: 1

  14. I doubt it's all that low. on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    My first job after college was under 30k a year. If you were offered under 24k a year, I might be sympatheic.

  15. Re:Then and now... on WebCrawler Turns 10 Today · · Score: 1, Insightful

    In all fairness if the majority of the websites today that are Slashdotted would not use a mySQL dynamic solution to serve pages, they'd be okay.

    Oh man. I could drive around get all my Gentoo boxes up to date so much faster.
