  1. Waterproof on Wristwatch USB Drive · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is this thing waterproof? If so, how deep can it go before it cracks under pressure?

  2. Historical? on Radio Shack Selling Subway Cars on eBay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shouldn't something like this belong in the Smithsonian or something? From the links offered on eBay, it has quite a history behind it.

  3. Pleading the 5th on Klingon Interpreter Needed In Oregon · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if someone said "I plead the 5th in Klingon" in court, but no one would understand but then somehow the case end up as a mistrial because no one properly understood what the defendant was saying?

  4. Lousy on T-Shirt Cannon · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or was this story reallly ... unnecessary? The maker of the t-shirt cannon was on an episode of Monster Garage and I have to say, that was definitely much cooler than just this lousy t-shirt launcher. At least with them, they were rapid firing newspaper bundles. Talk about extreme paperboy :-) (Where is Atari when you really need them!)

  5. April fools on RFC 3514: New Bit Defined for IPv4 Headers · · Score: 1

    Is this just me, or is this April's fool RFC kind of lame? I personally like the IP over Avian network. Anyone out there has a personal favorite?

  6. Firewall on Web Server Packed into RJ45 Connector · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they can slap a webserver into such a small device, why not just slap ircop or some other small footprint firewall and hook it up with a pass through on the back end so you can hook another system behind it. Then, you can just slap that baby in and now each time you plug in your computer into the network, just slap that baby in the front of your RJ45 and whala, instant firewall for you and just do NAT for you. Now that would be really sweet.

  7. Blowup Doll on 100mbps Fiber Service To Your Door · · Score: 1

    Mod this down for a troll, but if their TOS states that someone has to be in front of the computer then just go get yourself a blowup doll and put its hands on the keyboard and stare away while you are away. Simply push the doll aside later on when you return. This way, someone will always be in front of the computer.

  8. Millionaire on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that Microsoft is one of the few companies that you will millionaire secretaries. If their secretaries are millionaires, it would only be logical that inters are not too far behind them. Maybe not millionaires, but the fact that you get to live off Microsoft for the duration of your time there and learn some cool stuff is not half bad. Not to mention the perks that Microsoft is still somewhat 'Bell Atlantic-esque' where they definitely hire really gorgeous secretaries. Bottom line: you get experience + monay + stare at hot chicks all day.

  9. Go Hokies! on IsoNews Ostensibly Shut Down By The DOJ · · Score: 1

    Well, too bad this hokie got caught. :-/ Bummers.

    At least you can send your donations to him directly or drop him a voice mail.

  10. Re:Windows on BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's a great idea. Maybe someone should get in contact with the folks from the TV show "This old house" and get them to take a bunch of photos of windows that are used from their shows. They have a lot of windows that are shipped directly from the manufacturers and sometimes I am sure some have to get shipped back. Put these images on a CD and make it into an ISO. Call it: Windows2003-TOH-RTM.iso. I'm sure the BSA will get a great kick out of it. (TOH in the file name is for This Old House.)

  11. Debian on Linux in High School Labs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Debian runs on just about every configuration for x86 and has a good support for drivers, it is definitely cheaper in the longrun if you have a lot of older machines. Though that does assume that the individuals setting up Debian know what they are doing. If they don't, they certainly will run into a thick brick wall since Debian has a learning curve that shoots up like there is no tomorrow.

  12. off topic, but on AMD's Athlon-64 Benchmarked With UT2003 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Did anyone notice that the location of the video, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, cd-rom,, and power cable are opposite from the pci slots? I have worked with quite a few different rack servers myself in the past, but this sure is one strange looking monster. Not to mention that it really does have some massive heat sinks and the RAM slots appear to be staggered around the motherboard, somewhat like the Sun's motherboards.

    Perhaps someone has some insight into other types of rack mounted systems and motherboard configuratioins they can share?

  13. Two batteries, one problem on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    I have two IBM 600 series laptops and I guess others are having the same problems. One of my batteries stopped working one day and not too soon after that the other battery stopped working in the other laptop as well. Funny thing is that one is a 266mhz model and the other one is a 366mhz model. Weird...

  14. Re:MIT Guide to Lockpicking on AT&T Identifies Widespread Security Hole - In Locks · · Score: 1

    Aww man. Good cite. I was going to post the same thing. Sure brings back some memories though. I still have a copy of it somewhere in my collection of DAT tapes. There are lot of copies around on google, though a lot of them have sense removed "MIT" from the title of the article and simply call it "Guide to Lockpicking." Too bad I am not a level 20 thief.

  15. domain available for .com and .org on SCO Group Hires Boies After All · · Score: 1

    I just checked network solutions and it appears that scosucks.com and scosucks.org are both available for registration. Any takers to start an anti-sco website?

  16. Read the court's decision on Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The alleged user was not sharing 600 files, he downloaded 600 distinct files. As to how RIAA came up with that number, I presume they must have 'shared' a good amount of stuff and that particular person just so happen to have downloaded A LOT of stuff from them in order to see what was uploaded from their treasure chest.

  17. Social Engineering and Woman on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 1

    With all the computer-relate questions that are out there, I pose the following to you. With your skills in social engineering and the simple fact that you have been away from society for the good part of the last decade, do you have a girlfriend? If so, how did you two meet?

  18. Geek to the bone on RFID: The New Big Brother ? · · Score: 1

    Good thing I have my stash of the old dotcom t-shirts that I can wear.

  19. Re:I'm not anorexic... on For Those Long Coding Sessions: The Food Patch · · Score: 1

    That's funny. :-)

  20. Geek Fantasy on Xbox Private Key Distributed Computing Project · · Score: 1

    This may not be do-able, but what if someone wrote an application using Pollard's Rho, the Elliptic Curve algorithm, the
    quadratic sieve or the number-field sieve algorithm. On top of this, use .Net or better yet, C# to implement the algorithm and god forbid, actually come up with the key? That would be funny though if someone actually used their own technology against them... :-) Is there any links on MSDN documenting any hidden API, i.e. boolean get_xbox_private_key()? Wishful thinking I guess.

  21. Re:You Bastards! on Xmas Lights + X10 + Webcam = Fun · · Score: 1

    Slashdotting the Griswold? Hehe. That's really funny. :-)

  22. Re:Not as impressive as this modded house on Modding A Paper Shredder · · Score: 1

    LOL! One look at the picture of that house I almost crapped in my pants :-) That is pretty funny.

    I am thankful that I have a job. And for those that do not, visit odd todd.

  24. NAMBLA on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Over use of tobacco and alcoholic products kill people. General pornography of the mainstream such as playboy does not. However, taken to extreme, organizations as NAMBLA is something of another stinch. While funny portrayed by pieces of paper and whacky voiceovers on Southpark, the organization raises several moral issues regarding its primary goals:

    NAMBLA's goal is to end the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationship...

    You can search for it on Google and surely enough, it's right there on the top. So what does this say about Sergey Brin? Things that make you go hmmm....

  25. SPAM the SCAMer on eBay Customers Targetted by Credit Card Scam · · Score: 1

    I say let's subscribe postmaster@ebayupdates.com to a bunch of OPT-in mailing lists. Also, we can also let the credit card companies know that who ever lives at 1742 Bolton Village Lane, Niceville FL 32578 is open for receiving junkmail. We should also send qspam52@aol.com lots of junk email as well as subscribing it more junk email lists. Though, it would appear that it is just a spam email account someone used. Though we could, however, call 713-552-6332 at all odd times of the day just to bug the crap out of the person. Or better yet, let's just go down there and TP whoever lives at that address and put a bag of crap on their doorstep and light it on fire. :-)
