  1. Re:RTFA on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 2

    Because most likely nobody else read it.
    Are you surprised?

  2. Re:Google on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 2

    Do you always click on I'm feeling lucky? Maybe you should switch to Yahoo. You might be able to find more results that way.

  3. Fit geeks on Games Controlled By An Exercise Bike · · Score: 2

    All geeks are going to turn into very fit health freaks.
    Being boring and dumb won't be synonym to being fit anymore.

  4. Re:SSH on Flaw Found iIn Ethernet Device Drivers · · Score: 3, Informative

    It reads the static memory allocated to the driver or other dynamic kernel memory. It is highly unlikely for the full SSH private key to be there but there is a small chance since the threads are being run in a pretty close time frame apart. Actually it also depends how large your key is and how much data is in the ICMP package. It is 8* more likely to retrieve a 128 bit SSL private key then there is to retrieve an 1024 bit SSH private key.
    I'd be more worried about secure credit card transactions on web servers that don't get patched soon and don't renew their private keys.

  5. New diet on Are Blogging and Unemployment Related? · · Score: 2

    And in other news blogging is the newest in meal replacements. It completed replaces your need to eat.

    The only side effects are that you will feel blogged. - Somebody had to say that :)

  6. Merge Matrix with Terminator on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 2

    Since the 2 movies have the same idea about robots taking over the future, a combination between Matrix and Terminator would be kick ass. They could easily retire Arnold that way.

  7. Read slashdot - Avoid mistakes on Russia's Role in the ISS in Trouble · · Score: 3, Funny

    Based on this article confusing the ISS with IIS is due to reading slashdot too much. It's safe to assume the person who posted IIS isn't reading slashdot enough to be warned of BIG mistakes (considering the amount of invaluable posts moderated high) which could be made.

  8. RAID 5 - 80% CPU Utilization !? on IDE RAID Examined · · Score: 2

    What kind of hardware raid is that?

  9. Red Lobster on The Great Firewall of China - Samples of Filtered Sites · · Score: 2

    In China, you can't have red animals!

    It would make comunism look too underdeveloped for the human race.

  10. Re:10 reasons not to watch it on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 2

    hmmm ... Note to self ... Buy blank video tapes. I never thought that VCR could have use anymore then to switch between different video/audio devices. :)

  11. 10 reasons not to watch it on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 2

    10 - Commercials
    9 - I'm never going to finish reading Cryptonomicon
    8 - I'll miss night 9 due to being on a bus
    7 - I'll miss night 10 due to being on the mountain drying out my clothes from a day of snowboarding
    6 - It might be good
    5 - I might like it
    4 - I wouldn't be able to deal with the loss
    3 - I don't own a Tivo
    2 - If I buy a Tivo I won't have enough room in my entertainment center
    1 - Tivo is just a slow overpriced computer.

    Does this series only seem to me or is it a way of getting more geeks (people that believe in Alien stuff) to buy Tivos this Christmas?

  12. Just like CNN on Time Warner Properties May Only Be Available Through AOL · · Score: 2

    You have to pay for video but you can opt to not be a bandwidth hog and read for free as in speach not free as in video.

  13. Listen to CDs on the computer and ... on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 2

    ... Play the mp3 in the car. Does the trend reverse?

    It would be more like Sony will shoot themselfes in the foot since there would be more motivation to rip the music from their CDs since that will be the only option if you want to listen to your music on the road or where you don't have a computer.

  14. Your name would live forever on Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events · · Score: 4, Funny

    If it could actually do damage to you, you'd enter the guiness book of records for being the most unlucky complex of proteins in the universe.

  15. 2001 A space odyssey - HAL 9000 on Using PDAs for Dictation? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe the way to approach voice recgnition through using air waves is all wrong to start with:

    Bowman: "Hello, HAL? Do you read me, HAL?"
    HAL: "Affirmative, Dave, I read you."
    Bowman: "Open the pod bay doors, HAL."
    HAL: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
    Bowman: "What's the problem?"
    HAL: "I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do."
    Bowman: "What are you talking about, HAL?"
    HAL: "This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it."
    Bowman: "I don't know what you're talking about HAL..."
    HAL: "I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen."
    Bowman: "Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?"
    HAL: "Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move."


  16. Re:Who? on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 3, Funny

    And quicktime like, crashed my Intel PC. Safety through tight control is bad and that's what Apple is all about.

  17. Easy workaround on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 2

    Specify the price with one dollar more and then spell out "minus one dollar".

    If you use this you are in violation of the DMCA so make your own number,... Oh wait then you'll be in violation of a patent law.

    It's all perfectly accustomed so you* can't win.

    *you = the person with less money to throw on lawyers :)

  18. If you ask for a percent of the profit .... on Stan Lee Sues Marvel Comics · · Score: 2

    ... You get exactly that. But you can't make a movie like that and not make any form of profits.

  19. Re:BUS Limitations on Oracle's GPL Linux Firewire Clustering · · Score: 2

    Thanks for the info. This is cool stuff.

    Yet, PCI-X and infiband are a lot more expensive and not too much wider and faster then AGP 8X when sending.

  20. Re:BUS Limitations on Oracle's GPL Linux Firewire Clustering · · Score: 2

    Reply to self: 400 Mbps. The excitement is gone :(

  21. BUS Limitations on Oracle's GPL Linux Firewire Clustering · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a limitation on my Motherboard of 266 MBps due to the link from the north to south bridge.

    Could you connect a firewire card on AGP so that you can make use of the full 400 MBps that Firewire provides?

  22. Multi colors on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 2

    I wonder if you could use a multi-color led that adapts based on mouse state. Did anybody try that yet?

  23. Re:2400 wishes per hour on Leonid Meteor Shower 2002 · · Score: 3, Funny

    As long as you don't wish for another meteor for every meteor you see, everything would be fine.

  24. Microsoft split in Europe on EU Crosshair Still Points at Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Could that mean comply or take your products away from this market?

    European countries have always been very tough on monopolies so a split is not out of the question.

  25. Fighting terrorism ... on Uncap Your Modem, Get Visit From the FBI · · Score: 2

    ... Don't you think that the FBI would have more important things to do? I mean there are REAL bad people out there and the FBI wastes their resources against bandwith thieves? Can't the local authorities deal with chickenshit like that?
