  1. Re:Here's a tip to avoid this on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: 1

    knowing ebay and its users, far too much...

  2. any hand movement? on A Humanitarian Engineering Problem · · Score: 1

    so the bell is less effective, but that would mean that there needs to be some, even if barely useful, hand motion... to work with just the eyes reminds me of mouse gestures in web browsers... three eye rolls for emergency...

  3. heh on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    Higbee and Davis perform penetration tests, and developed their game box cum attack tool after finding themselves more than once with physical access to a client's facilities

    ... he said "cum"

  4. Re:How would students get their PIN? on Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised · · Score: 1

    Most schools send a response in receipt of an application, and this receipt could contain the PIN. Alternatively, the schools could send an e-mail to the applicant as well with their information, as is the case with a number of colleges and universities.

  5. Re:Nice price comparison on Plug-n-Play Server And Network · · Score: 1

    damn mornings... you're right... nonetheless, the windows2k CAL's aren't necessary for the server, and I doubt that everyone in this small business will be running linux on their desktops. Not to mention that the prices they use aren't even competitive.

  6. Nice price comparison on Plug-n-Play Server And Network · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's nice to see that they have under the traditional listing a server with every possible expensive option, while the opposite is true for the iMass.

    Honestly, if you're going to have an IDE disk in the iMass, then clearly the "traditional" server you're comparing it to should also have an IDE disk. And what network of 2-150 users needs 25 mail servers? Clearly having a tape backup and a hard drive backup are vastly different in scope as well. They don't seem to be providing a way to keep the last year of daily backups on a shelf; or even the last week of backups plus the monthly.

    They're just looking for the idiots who don't know what a CAL is or maybe once have seen the IBM linux commercials and look solely at the provided bottom-line.

  7. Re:The "free" library is a misnomer on Publishers vs. Libraries · · Score: 1

    Re: getting a card: I don't know what happens if your township lacks a library.

    Okay, so after using my school's libraries for years, I got a library card for the Bucks County (PA) library network.

    So here's the deal. If you're a citizen (resident) of the state of Pennsylvania, you are entitled to free access to any library in the state, as part of the Access Pennsylvania program. Of course, this is usually based on your local library card (my BCLN card, in this case), which is all well and good since you can get a BCLN card for free even if you live out of Bucks County.

    I know that Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Chester counties in PA all have similar systems to this, and as long as you live in PA, you are guaranteed free library access.

    hey, I'm a radioshack employee!! come to my store, I'll take care of ya :P as long as you buy MSN, change your long distance to sprint, sign up for a credit card, and use your PowerZone card with your purchase of 5 12-packs of D batteries.

  9. Not just for windows on Free Barcode Reader From Radio Shack · · Score: 5

    About four days ago, a few people I know and myself cracked the simple cipher the reader uses, so don't bother trying yourself. Just go to this page and see it and try out our PHP beta translator and whatever-er at this page. If you wanna help, send an email to jackw@users.sourceforge.net and let me know, as this is completely a GPL project designed to make the most out of this reader.

  10. Re:Nice Screenshots? on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 1

    Read on IGN, though... they say that Anti-Aliasing will be on it soon. It's just not there yet. Although, when has MS ever released a finished product?
