  1. I remember these guys on 100-MPG Air-Powered Car Headed To US Next Year · · Score: 0

    They used to have the (now defunct) site zeropollution.com. I was psyched by them then, but am still waiting for their ideas to materialize.

  2. Block Images From This Site on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 0

    What happened to the "Block Images from This Site" context menu option for images?

  3. Are these still around? on How Prevalent Are SQL Injection Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 0

    More and more, sql engines are becoming, themselves, resistent to sql injection attacks. The simple '; select * from user attacks simply no longer work in oracle, mysql, and possibly others. These databases are configured to accept only one sql query at a time, thus ignore the end-string ; other sql attacks.

    What other attacks should we worry about?

  4. Shannon Limit? on New 25x Data Compression? · · Score: 0

    Pardon my ignorance, but what does the Shannon Limit have to do with compression? From WikiPedia, the Shannon Limit describes the maximum bandwidth on a channel, comparing signal to noise, but nothing about compression.

  5. I know this is a troll, but... on Why is Java Considered Un-Cool? · · Score: 0

    I spent an hour yesterday trying to find out how to get the process id inside of a java program. Just writing a simple daemon and thought, what the hell, let's store the pid somewhere so startup/shutdown scripts can handle it. Well, little did I know that you have to write a JNI wrapper around a C program calling the POSIX getpid(). The daemon was soon ported to perl.

  6. eh? on Attention Bonds Gain Momentum · · Score: 0

    What the heck are attention bonds? Sounds kinky to me.

  7. Word and IE? on Will Vanderpool Make Linux More Popular? · · Score: 3, Funny

    since when does internet explorer and word run easily together?

  8. KMart Already Knows... on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Remember those self-checkout machines at Kmart? Well, they're pulling those out and putting real people back in.

  9. 7200 Series Only! on Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices · · Score: 1, Troll

    The title of the document states, and I quote "Cicso 7200 Series Routers..."

    The problem only occurs in the 7200 series router!

  10. Sounds like IPFILTER to me on SCO Threatens to Press IP Claims on Linux -$99/cpu · · Score: 1

    So, what will happen, if this is true, is that the SCO code will be ripped from the distros and a new POSIX layer introduced.

  11. I sure hope no one calls here at home! on Chocolatier Fights PanIP Uber-Commerce Patent · · Score: 1

    Walker, Kathleen M
    3421 Thorn

  12. There are only 9 unix problems. on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Looks to me like the ran out of ones to include in the unix list and decided they wanted to be fair to the poor windows people and add weak passwords as a security vulnerability.

  13. Already been done on The Ultimate Universal Remote Control · · Score: 1

    What about the X10 Universal Remote?

  14. Epoch time on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think we should use epoch time for daily usage.

    Me: Hey bob, what time is it?

    Bob: About 1 billion.

  15. Kinda funny, though on Drawing For The Blind · · Score: 1

    don't you think it's kinda wierd that this guy's site uses colors that aren't suitable for reading by colorblind people?
