  1. Re:Everybody knows why... on Why We're Still Stuck On Earth · · Score: 1

    I'm not too hot on the mindbeams protocol, but that's only because it's a closed proprietary protocol...

  2. Alternate link. on FBI E-Mail Wiretaps - The Carnivore System · · Score: 1

    For those of you who don't want to supply anything with "MS" in the title, look up the article on Crpytome

  3. Everybody knows why... on Why We're Still Stuck On Earth · · Score: 3

    The only reason the New World Order doesn't want us in space is because then we'd see all the UFO's trying to make contact with us, all the spy satellites, the secret bases on the dark side of the moon, and we'd be able to get a clear view of the face on Mars from space... They don't want us to be able to look down on Area 51 and intercept the MIND BEAMS they use to control earth's population!

  4. Good for benchmarking? on For The Overclocking Junkie · · Score: 1

    I think this should be the standard benchmark. I'd like to see all those speed freaks with 800 Mhz computers having a benchmark program compare them to a 2Ghz 386 being cooled by liquid nitrogen...

    It's just a shame their coolant started to solidify.

  5. Open MS Kerberos? Just a thought... on Microsoft Openly Provides Kerberos Interop Specs · · Score: 2

    Afaics the copyright notice does not prevent you from writing a SAMBA-style hack that interops with MS Kerberos. It does however prevent anyone writing commercial software which takes advantage of this. Preseumably that means that you wouldn't find an MS-kerberos workaround on a Red Hat CD, but for free off the Net? That ain't commercial.

    I think this is M$ trying to put an end to the bad PR they recieved when they stuck their hand in the pengiuns nest, so to speak. Still, it's a step in the right direction... First open MS Kerberos, next... World Domination! (er...)

  6. Useful for campaigning? on Internet Law Journal Launched · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome a site like this: It provides a focus for new leglislation affecting the Net. Although I didn't see anything like DeCSS (I think Cryptome has that one sewn up), this could be a useful sight for lending focus to the whole DMCA/UCITA/RIAA/MPAA/allthatstuff type of issue. I just hope that they keep the reporting impartial and not too biased towards the men in suits.

  7. BT have truly lost it. on BT To Enforce Patent On Hyperlinking? · · Score: 1



    As a Britisher, one who thinks that BT have done more than any other company in the UK to hold back the development of cheap, reliable and fast internet access (doing all kinds of damage to our economy in the process), I think BT have truly lost it this time. One more bad move like that and they might as well change their name Microsoft.

    Seriously, that's what comes of listening to your lawyers - witness MPAA vs 2600, M$ vs /. and M$ vs Doj, etc...

  8. Will you sign on? on The Few, The Proud, The Geeks · · Score: 2

    Out of interest - how many /. readers would/will consider signing on to a scheme like this? Personally, at 19, a M$oftie and no exp. I'm probably not qualified.

  9. Kudos to Lars for aggreeing to be interviewed. on At Last And At Length: Lars Speaks · · Score: 1
    It's fairly obvious this is something Metallica have chosen to do. How many PR types would agree to have a band in Metallica's position be interviewed by /.? I just wish he'd get to the point instead of talkinglike a machine gun.

    Crypress Hill present - ODB and Machine-Gun Mouth!

  10. Great. on MP3Player/Cell Phone in One · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that instead of jerks saying in a really loud voice "Yeah. I'm on the train. Tell soandso to get xyz the abc" and all the stuff which should be done in the office, we'll now have tele-clubbing. Does the phone come with a free whistle and some pillz?

  11. Nice one Mr Torvalds... on Open Source Leaders Speak About Napster · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with the stance taken by Linus T. Although Napster is a usefull program, it's users for the most part are kidding themselves - Napster is about trading copyrighted music. OK so technology advances regardless of the law, and in this case the law is miles behind. The RIAA do have an ulterior motive in shutting Napster down, and the motive is the same as most lobbying groups - maintaining the balance of power to ensure the income of the people they represent. Napster may get shut down, but in the long term, the RIAA are fighting a battle they can't win. Good thing too IMHO.

  12. Blocking all VBS attachments in Outlook on New, More Destructive Love Bug Variant · · Score: 1

    It's quite simple to write a small piece of VBA to delete all e-mail with .vbs attachments on arrival. We've had this on our company for a while now, and it does the trick...
