  1. Re:That says it all. on Wi-Fi Routers - The Differences for Each Region? · · Score: 1

    Yes but this one goes to 11.

  2. Re:Lesson Learned: Use Open Source, and Encrypt on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    well, now, anyone can put what ever they want in to open source... even backdoors for outside access.

    Oh, my point; this has nothing to do with software, its policy.

  3. Re:bad slashdot! on Microsoft Hires GUI 'Design Guru' · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ. Someone who specializes in design for human computer interaction (HCI) would most certainly relate to GUI design, maybe not specifically, but absolutely inclusive to the domain.

    Informative... no, flame, yes

  4. Re:The "simple" solution on Wireless/Wired Router Solutions for 2 Networks? · · Score: 1

    My problem with this is the danger still lies in between a protected network and the internet, you can do all types of malicious tricks (ettercap) and redirect any traffic if you manage to take control over a machine on the middle network.

  5. based on a hoax release on Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The original premise was that an x86 release for generic x86 hardware (non Apple firmware) was already released. This however turned out to be a hoax. I doubt Apple is trying to make a revolution giving an OS away.

  6. You know for kids.... on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 0

    a hoolahoop

  7. Familiar Linux on Data Logging Software for PocketPC? · · Score: 1

    If you are not attached to PocketPC you may want to try Familiar Linux, I am sure you could find a solution there as most existing software can be compiled to run on the StrongARM chip. Although not for the faint of heart it is the best way to make use of the features of the PocketPC. familiar.handhelds.org

  8. Enigmail / MozDev on First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In · · Score: 2, Informative

    I personally like the Enigmail plugin for OpenPGP support in the browser. Easy encryption for the masses.

  9. two on Watches for UberGeeks? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One my Breitling 1812 chronometer - The Jupiter Pilot. Breitling makes fantasticly beautiful watches. www.breitling.com
    also see: http://www.cns.com.jo/jaffar/jupiter.htm
    for all its cool ubergeek features.

    and my second the carbon watch from thinkgeek, it syncs to atomic time. http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/gadgets/5807.shtml
    in kevlar too ... nice

  10. Re:Sorry, but no. on Quoting in Emails? · · Score: 1

    2) I can archive a single mail and have saved the whole discussion.

    Well posted email, threaded properly is much better and historically accurate then one single message. Go the step further, digitally sign your documents, then you will have the best, most usable archive.

    just my .02

  11. how original. on What's Your Halloween Costume? · · Score: 1

    I just tell people I'm a disgruntled computer admin. They don't seem to get it... as it's not much of a change from daily life.

  12. Re:Face the facts on Slashback: Quiesence, Jazz, RAND · · Score: 1

    Code Red wasn't a virus. Ever hear of the Morris Worm?

  13. Re:SSL/TLS is possible, but not an optimal solutio on How Widespread is Secure SMTP Usage? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The second and third point here I think are most important. Having just set up a ssl/tls mail server running qmail-ldap.

    It comforts me to know remote users/roaming users don't have their passwords floating around plaintext.

    It's also very easy for a box in promisc can grab any email on the segment that someone can wedge one in legit or other wise.

  14. Re:Have you actually TRIED using this? on Memory Stick Floppy Adapter Under GNU/Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have a Sony VAIO with the memory stick reader working. I don't know about a USB reader, but this is known as a USB-SCSI device try enabling USB if you haven't already and enable Generic SCSI Emulation. If this doesn't work you may be SOL. Good Luck.

  15. Re:The real link on Pushing The Envelope · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one getting broken JSP here? Way to go NASA. Tax dollars hard at work.
