  1. "Microsoft" "backdoor" on Microsoft Admits To Backdoor In IIS [updated] · · Score: 3

    boy, this screams for a disgusting trollish gif or jpeg, but for the life of me I can't think of one.

  2. If girlfriendless geeks complain about the valley on North Slope Server Farm · · Score: 1

    wait unil they get to Alaska, which has just about the highest male to female ratio in the states, outside of Paris Island.

    Though, for a female SA who wants to be the center of attraction at a sausage fest, it might not be a bad gig.

  3. Tell the SA's they are in training for MARS on North Slope Server Farm · · Score: 4

    You have to stay in this underground bunker, stuffed full of servers and UPS, and you have to live on hot pockets and instant coffee. You can't go outside, since there's only frozen tundra there.

    But, you get full internet connectivity, and you can be put on the waiting list for a trip to Mars.

  4. Condoms? The pill, or sterilization on Men on Mars by 2020, Maybe · · Score: 1

    Seriously, why would they need condoms?

    The potential crew will be gone over with a fine tooth comb, I bet any STD would keep you from being approved.

    So, the Pill, or sterilization would work. Collect a few vials of sperm from the male astronauts, and vasectomize them. When you get back, your wife probably wouldn't want testes that have been irradiated for 3 years to be producing sperm, and there's no milkman to mess things up while you're enroute.

  5. Sex on Recepies For A Good Night's Sleep? · · Score: 1

    Sex helps me sleep, nothing like an orgasm or three with my honey, then falling blissfully asleep in those sticky sheets. A shame her libido is strongest in the morning, 5 minutes before the kid wakes up.

    Getting high seems to help me, too.

  6. On my Sparcs, I run Solaris on Is Linux Losing Its SPARC? · · Score: 5

    Even though I run an old version of Solaris, 2.6, it's still .2 better than the latest Linux, 2.4.

    So I suggest Linus take a move from the marketing people and call the next major kernel release 3.0.

  7. Feh, virtual addiction on Virtual Addiction · · Score: 5

    I can quit /. for good anytime.

    I've already quit it six or seven times already.

  8. MS gives out Fossil watches? on MS Wants To Know Whose PC Is Windows-Free · · Score: 3

    Wow, talk about one dinosaur hand washing the other.

  9. I thought identical twins were clones on Send out the Clones? · · Score: 4

    at least, whichever one split off was a clone of the other.

    Does that mean twins would not be allowed into the US?

    Another case of technophobes not understanding what they're legislating against.

  10. Re:What is going on with the moderation? on Nanotube Transistors · · Score: 1

    There is a Michael Sim's post that explains that in fixing moderation, they give a whole lot of people mod points.

    I myself blame an overreaction on the spork crapflooders, though.

  11. USENET, the Ebola of the web? on Gooja's Got Old Stuff Online Now · · Score: 2

    Good luck Google, you're going to need it.

    Lest you join the web corpses of Remarq, Deja, etc.

  12. Deja was a crapflooders best friend though on Gooja's Got Old Stuff Online Now · · Score: 2

    My favorite USENET group, and only group that I read regularly, rec.music.gdead, was often crapflooded by a boring, uninventive troll. I was glad when deja went under.

    Now, like Taco, I have nothing against imaginative trolls, but when it's always the same old shit about Bill Kreutzman I get annoyed.

    Please, if you're going to troll, be imaginative.

  13. The Three Investigators were great geeks on Could We Have Had Cell Phones In The 60s? · · Score: 2

    I love those books, and still even read them a bit.

    For the unaware, the leader of the three investigators, Jupiter Jones, was a young teen whose family owned a junkyward. He and his friends Pete and Bob would solve various mysteries and crimes.

    The geek part is that Jupiter's famliy owned a junkyard, which the Three Investigators routinely plundered to make crime solving inventions.

    Cooler than the Hardy Boys, geekier than Scooby, what more could you want?

    Check them out at Amazon.

  14. Nina Hartley in Boogie Nights on Displaced Techies Find Sex Sells, And Pays · · Score: 2

    and I think Ron Jeremy has a SAG card.

  15. Great idea, catering directly to the LUGs on Loki Offers 50%-off Discounts to LUGs · · Score: 2

    This sounds like a great idea for any Linux company, go directly to the LUGs to find a dedicated user base.

    Of course, now MS can circulate a memo saying that Loki is using their astroturf technique to generate sales.

  16. How do they plan to get flight info back? on X-43 Scramjet Rollout · · Score: 1

    I don't think they can have much of an antenna sticking out.

    Maybe they'll use an Aurora as a chase plane?

  17. heavy labored breathing from space? on Three Russian Space Shot Deaths-- Pre-Gagarin? · · Score: 1

    It might have been Mir.

    Stick my somewhere with only another guy for company for 6 months, and it would definitely get pretty weird.

    I mean, I'm not gay or anything, but I do have urges.

  18. I have some of the transcripts on Three Russian Space Shot Deaths-- Pre-Gagarin? · · Score: 1

    I have a few of the transcripts of this..

    Ground control to Major Ivan
    Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.
    Can you hear me Major Ivan?
    Can you hear me Major Ivan?
    Can you hear me Major Ivan?

  19. They are anti-counterfeit strips on Keeping DEA In The Loop About Amtrak Travelers · · Score: 1

    so that you can't scan in a $20 and then print it out.

    Scanners and printers copies have gotten so good that you can easily make passable counterfeits with them, hence the little plastic strip that's in all the new bills.

    You almost need a paper mill and those strips to make better counterfeits.

    They weren't needed with color copiers, as almost all of them are smart enough to recognize currency and fsck up your copy.

  20. Like all new tech, until robots do porn on Robo Sapiens · · Score: 2

    they won't be adopted by the masses.

    Think VHS, Cable, Sattelite dishes, the internet.

    So, once we get robotocized Real Dolls watch out!

    Though they'll probably be played up as fun companions, instead of sexual surrogates, considering how schizo Americans are about sex and pleasure.

  21. 4) One to two weeks on A Real Life Cryptonomicon Gold Stash? · · Score: 1

    if i recall, though I did take my time with it.

  22. I'm listening to a station on AFTRA Halts Many Radio Stations' Webcasts · · Score: 2

    WBER

    But then, it's a student run alternative station. Nobody gets paid.

    How odd, the alternative station is bypassing union wishes.

  23. Ooh, a wireless cellphone on Sprint Testing 2.4Mbs Wireless Cellphone · · Score: 3

    will wonders never cease

    better change the headline.

  24. Dangit, MS is really cutting their throats on Windows XP to Target MP3 Files · · Score: 1

    now.

    XP won't play MP3? Even if they're MP3s that I ripped myself, from my own CDs?

    Dang, Microsoft used to stuff their OS full of nifty little apps, heck, Microsoft even pushed for full multimedia on PCs.

    I guess I won't be in a hurry to upgrade to XP anytime soon.

  25. No IOS, the 675 uses CBOS on Security Issues For Many Alcatel DSL Modems · · Score: 1

    The 674 doesn't use IOS (sigh, goodbye cheap CISCO cert) but rather CBOS, which I think stands for Consumer Broadband Operating System.

    As far as securing your 675, change the default passwords, and then you can have 20 rules for packet filtering.
