  1. It's 3:00pm PDT... on Microsoft's Janus DRM Software Officially Unveiled · · Score: 1

    ...has anyone broken it yet?

  2. How about... on Increasing the Value of the Domestic IT Worker? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...increasing the cost of a forign IT worker. Say by charging a crippling tariff on leased lines to popular outsourcing countries.

    If it costs $100/min to transfer a call to Bangalore, very few compaines will do it...

  3. Oh great... on IBM Plans Collaboration On Power Architecture · · Score: 3, Funny

    So when does SCO sue because AIX runs on PowerPC so they must be releasing SCO Intellectual Property...

  4. Goodby home mail server on SpamHaus Behind .mail Top-Level Domain · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is bad, as I host my own domain and send mail from it. I don't want to have to pay someone to host my mail server, and you know that plenty of ISPs will block mail that doesn't come from a .mail domain.

    I certainly can't pay $2000 a year.

  5. Halliburton... on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: 3, Funny

    What does Halliburton chrage for a RedHat Linux 9 on CD? $10,000?

  6. What about the Prime Directive? on Mice In Space · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We have yet to determine wether life exists on Mars, and yet we are planning to send living organisms to the planet.

    How can we prove that life existed on Mars before we planted our own infestation?

  7. Re:Shady? on Students, ISP Sue Diebold · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not shaky at all, this is very similar to the petagon papers, except it is against a private company. However, since this involves voting rights, there is overwhelming public interest in the content given that this invloves election fraud. More on the pentagon papers.

  8. Need this for TiVo now... on Yamaha MusicCAST Wireless PCM/MP3 Server · · Score: 1

    TiVoCluster...

    Multiple TiVos that each can record and playback, and have a common ToDo list and a common "Now Playing". All wirelessly.

    You just need the 20 LNB DirecTV Dish.

    The only command you need to know.

  10. Why a Pump? on New 3D CPU Water Cooling Method · · Score: 0, Redundant

    A fix for the "all your misspellings are beloning to us" Verisign hack.

  14. IANAL: Equitable Estoppel on Samba Team Points Out SCO's Hypocrisy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Our word for the day is Equitable Estoppel. SCO can't say in court that the GPL is invalid and then turn around and distribute software under the same license. If the GPL is invalid they would have to go back to the Samba team and get a "valid" license before they could distribute it.

  15. Moron on US Shrugs Off World's IP Address Shortage · · Score: 1
    Biggest overhaul in the web in decades.

    This seems to sum up this guys knowledge of the Internet. Move along, nothing to see here.

  16. IANAL: Vexatious Litigant on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know if there is a US law that is complimentary, but in California, there is a law against filing too many frivolous lawsuits called the "vexatious litigant" law. If you are designated a vexatious litigant, you have to get a judge's permission before filing a lawsuit. If you file a lawsuit without a judges permission you are considered in contempt of court and are sent to jail immediately. EFF?

  17. Re:Power causes interference? on Switch On For Powered Data Networks · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is a little DC power for IP Phones and WAPs not 120VAC for your computer.

  19. RFID Killer on Labelling RFID Products · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Actually, all we need is a RFID killer. I wonder if putting that new shirt in a microwave might overload and kill it...

  20. Re:Acutally... on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    Just as you have the Senate and the House known collectivly as the Congress, you have Senators and Representatives (House Members), collectivly known as congressmen.

  21. Acutally... on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 2, Funny

    What we really need is a technology that removes a congressman from office once he says anything unconstitutional in public.

    No need for any due process crap, just "bu-bye".

  22. Re:Does LA county even need a public /16? on Confronting Address Space Hijackers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Allocaitons are made for organizations that need globally unique IP addresses, not necessarily connected to the Internet.

    IBM owns 9.0.0.0/8, none of it is connected to the Internet. They use globally unique addressing in their internal network for private connections to other organizations, without fear of collisions.

    This is typically no longer done and the IANA recommends you use a random range from private IP space from now on, except in rare cases.

  23. Been There...Done That... on Microsoft Acquires RAV Antivirus · · Score: 1

    Microsoft already tried to include a virus scanner in DOS 6. IIRC, it was really, really bad. Here is a link to a usenet posing talking about it:
