  1. Spare Key on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why you are worried about leaving a spare key hidden in the car somewhere? Assuming that it isn't placed in an easily accessible place you shouldn't have any problems with 'thieves' getting control of the spare key. Any thief that wants your car will use a more or less sophisticated way of starting your car. An example would be grabbing the signal that the remote starter uses and just reproducing it when you are not around. The dealership will also have to install either a module or 'spare key' to allow the remote starter to work.

  2. Popularity on SonicBlue Going w/ReplayTV 4000 Despite Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I just hope that this doesn't become popular. It seems things that become extremely popular get "attacked" and usually changed for the worse by the select few who don't like said product/service. Napster is of course the most recent example and don't forget about compact discs. CD's were not $19.95 a pop when I first started buying them. Its after they became popular that the price changed dramatically.

  3. Re:VCR on SonicBlue Going w/ReplayTV 4000 Despite Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The networks may consider commercial skipping a bad feature but how is that illegal? Oh wait its stealing money, ya thats it.

  4. Parking on Laser for Satellite to Satellite Communications · · Score: 1

    "while Artemis is temporarily in a parking orbit at 31 000 km."

    I had to pay $13.00 to park at Navy Pier....I wonder how much parking costs at 310000 km?

  5. Re:Why I am not against this on Government to Eavesdrop on Lawyer-Client Conversations · · Score: 1

    I agree! However, after they have served their time and gotten out, I think they should be given every single right back. While in prison you should be under constant control by the government. This is assuming they haven't commited such a heinous crime that disqualifies them from parole or release.

  6. Re:10 barrels? on Hellhound Paintball ATV · · Score: 1

    Well with enough money you could pay TIPPMAN to make you one. And like a previous poster said you can customize it to your liking and if/when you break it you can send it in and they will fix it for you. I recently bought a TIPPMANN CUSTOM 98 and I consider it the Linux of paintball guns. While not the perfect gun out of the box, it begs you to modify it to improve performance and practice those hacker like skills so many /.ers seem to possess.

  7. Script Kiddies on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 1

    This should cut down on script kiddies defacing websites because they downloaded an exploit.

  8. Re:Lack of value-add on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 1

    How do you plan on them 'charging' you for content if you don't give out any personal information? Next time I buy lunch I'll just tell them to bill it to my IP address because I don't want to get out my credit card.

  9. Re:15 second attention span on Is Technology Making Kids More Intelligent? · · Score: 1
    Useless but humorous.

    Good humor is derived from truth.

  10. Re: No Subject on Is Technology Making Kids More Intelligent? · · Score: 1

    Computers may very well make children anti-social but how does that related to them not being bright and eager to learn. I can name countless people that are anti-social but extremely intelligent. Maybe they become anti-social because the majority of the population bores or aggravates them with their ignorance.
