  1. I was thinking about using a "USB Memory Device" on What Would You Do With a New Form of Encryption? · · Score: 1

    As soon as I saw the USB memory "key" devices on the market I was thinking about modfying PGP to accept a very large key. I would store the public
    key on the server and the private key in the little
    device.

  2. Can someone say.. carcinogen? on Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. electromagnetism... High Frequency radiation, addictive device, radiation... CANCER!

  3. I don't think an 800mile diameter object should .. on New Frozen World Found Beyond Pluto · · Score: 1

    hmm I think it's too small to be a planet.
    Has the solar orbit been monitored? Could this
    just be an object that got caught up into an orbit
    around the sun?

  4. Time to boycott Microsoft! on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 1

    Let's educate the public and let them now why
    we use mod chips! It's not to steal. It's so we
    can develop and use our own games, instead of paying thousands of dollars for an official development kit, mod chips allow us to use Linux to
    develop games.

    MICROSOFT IS EVIL! BOYCOTT MICROSOFT!

  5. And thier GUI isn't X11 compliant! on No More Mac Tweaking? · · Score: 1

    The macOSX gui isn't X11 compliant. The very first thing I tried to do was remotely display an app.
    You can load up X11 for MacosX, but you can't
    remotely display those cool looking OS/X apps.
    So, what do I do, I get ideas to make our Linux
    Apps cooler. Apple take NOTE: I'm not using your
    schemes, or whatever. I'm just getting ideas on
    how to make my apps look cooler. So OS/X didn't last on the G3, Linux is going back online as soon as I get the latest release from Yellow Dog.

  6. Re:Fighting Robots (Battlebots) at Tech Circus on Lulu Tech Circus · · Score: 1

    Right now I have a fast fire fighting robot.

    I've played with the idea of building a fighting robot. It would have a Tesla coil and a hv lead all the way up it's gripper arm. Liquid Nitrogen
    will be sprayed on it's victims and then slammed
    with a hammer. Electronics jammed with a Tesla coil. I'd use a faraday cage around my electronics to protect me from the Telsa coil.

    I'd use a modified sumo wrestling algorithm.

    Modified as in it won't just be a shoving contest, I'd use on board weapons as well.

  7. we need to educate the dumb consumer. boycott this on Microsoft/HP to Market Crippled Entertainment PCs · · Score: 1

    We need to hit HP/Compaq in the pocketbook! It these stripped boxes are not purchased then supply and demand would remedy this problem.

  8. Life's too short to work like a dog. on Do Long Work Hours Affect Code Quality? · · Score: 1

    Haven't we learned from Loki Games? If all of
    you decide to work 12 -15 hour days to catch the
    project up, once it's on track, more of you would
    be let go, with nothing to show for it. I don't
    know, I would never work like that again. Life is
    too short. Don't rely on promises from this company. I don't know about you but I like my time off. Sure I have some projects here.. like the robots I build. But I also like to hang around with my wife and kids, go driving my Truck, fly model rockets with the kids, and working on the house.

    Are you going to get paid overtime?

    Good luck! I wouldn't do it.

  9. Time for your company to dump microsoft. on Is Win2k + SP3 HIPAA Compliant? · · Score: 1

    I've got new for you. There's a more robust OS
    out there. More secure. And you don't pay a per
    seat license.

    And you've got your choice! I prefer Linux myself!

  10. Townsend Brown Technolgy is better on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    Why don't we build on the work from
    Townsend Brown. 2% weight reduction.. big deal!

  11. Have a Pizza party (really a status meeting) FRI on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 1

    Well every Friday have a lunch meeting. Make sure
    no one is spinning there wheels and that they
    have the resources they need. Set daily/weekly
    goals for them. If they don't turn out code in a
    couple of weeks, let them go because they don't
    know what they are doing.

  12. cheap countermeasure! on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    Troops just need to wear Laser Gogle with Infrared
    protection, and take cover.

  13. Here's a reply from my state rep! on Red Hat Asks for UCITA Reversal · · Score: 1

    I have opposed UCITA since it was hijacked by the BSA in 1995. I remain
    on the standby drafting committee to try to moderate its effects. The
    Massachusetts delegatiion, supported by the Governor's Office, the
    Attorney General and many legislators, oppose UCITA and are unlikely to
    adopt it. I do agree with the view that it establishes a certain business
    model (1992 shrink wrap) that is inappropriate at this time of change in
    business models, both to new ones and back to old ones, and that it is
    important to oppose UCITA at the national level.

    Thank you for your input.

  14. How about all the Digital Cameras on the Market. on ISO Could Withdraw JPEG Standard · · Score: 1

    Forgent has no clue. They didn't invent jpeg.
    I think this should be settled in court.
    JPEG.ORG should win as a prior art and the Royalty
    that was filed should be discarded.

  15. Either switch to a decent OS or ... on SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's your bed you lie in it.

    It's time for this guy to get a clue and dump
    windows!

  17. Tax Dollars to fix Microsoft Security Holes? What? on U.S. Gov't Planning To "Help Us" Secure Computers · · Score: 1

    I think this is a joke. Microsoft should fix their own security holes, and if they can't they
    are liable. Or... the public should switch to a real Operating System like BSD, Linux, or OS/X.

    What a joke.

  18. It's almost how IBM's ADSM Backup works on MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's how ADSM backsup

    Clients are installed on the Hosts Enterprise Wide. These can be a mixed platform. AIX, HPUX,
    Linux, Windows NT (Cough), Mainframe S/390 (VM)
    and so on. The Host running ADSM server has a ton of disk space... a snapshot is taken across the
    network to the ADSM server DISK from the Client filesystems to be backed up. The snapshot gets backed up to tape while the snapshot is taken of the next host.. and so on..

    This works great across a fast network.

    But.......

    I use Amanda to backup my Linux Servers at home.
    It works in almost the same manner.

  19. Media Hype! on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 1

    First of all, most critical systems are either on the inside of a firewall, or not connected to a
    public network. Second of all, if you have a system that needs to be secure, don't run a microsoft OS!

  20. I won't buy a palladium piece of shit. on Analyzing Palladium · · Score: 1

    Ah.. I'll just make my new box.
    I won't need a new box for at least 6 years.

  21. There's no legal leg to stand on to stop xmodders! on No Love From Microsoft For Xbox Modders · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is a joke! The hardware does not belong to Microsoft. When you buy the hardware you should be able to do what you want with it. You are not bootlegging software, you are opening the box so that you can run open source code. there is no
    way Microsoft should be able to stop users from doing what they want with the hardware.

    So.. why not boycott the piece of junk and build a
    true opensource product?

  22. I'd rather run Linux than Windows! on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    The long uptimes without a reboot, and the
    security speaks for itself. Windows Suck, Linux Rules. This is just a lame propoganda ploy on
    Microsoft's Behalf.

  23. SSC has no clue to what Linux is all about! on LWN on the Patent Encumbrence of SELinux · · Score: 1

    When will people get it?
    Linux isn't about patents.
    I don't need their close source security.

  24. We will be able to sue them for flase advertising on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    I bought my cable modem 2 years ago to get a cheaper rate. remember the boradband ads?
    download streaming video! etc...
    Well If they charge by the bit we sue them.. and
    no damn dumb ass lawyer who gets a large cut of a class action suit. we find someone who gets a fair cut... and nail these bastards.

    I'm putting together an alternate solution. I might go frame relay, or T1. First I need to sell
    bandwidth to my neighbors and see if I can get the
    line to pay for itself.

    Argh!

    If they put rate caps or charge by the bit this will kill broadband.

  25. I'll drop cable, get commercial frame relay, and on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    I'm a Unix/TCP/IP network admin by trade. If the
    cable company does this I will get a fractional T1
    feed and sell off access to my neighbors via 802.11b. I believe I have enough people interested to pay for the line.
