  1. Re:Unreleased Music?!? on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Really, what type of music from Bon Jovi is unrealeased? I mean...really.

    I'd be all excited about an unreleased single from Pink Floyd...but, Bon Jovi?


    What, are they going to remix "Living on a Prayer"?

    And now, the previously unreleased version of "Living on a Prayer", with Busta Rhymes singing backup.

    Please.

  3. Can i use ANY mail software? on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 1

    The reason i haven't adopted Mozilla yet is because it forces me to use it's internal Moz Mail client.

    Until i can pick which mail client i want to use, mozilla will just be a secondary browser on my system.

  4. Ran to the Apple Store at Lunch on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    We have an Apple store across the street from where i work, and i ran over at lunch to check things out. They are getting the low end 867 and 1 gig machines in tomorrow, but won't be getting the 1.25 machines in for 2-3 months. Apparently, the 1.25 chips aren't even available yet, at least thats what the Mac dweebie said.

  5. Re:ELE? on Comet Hunting For The Masses · · Score: 1

    Of course you tell someone. Look up Bruce Willis' phone number, and let him know. If you can't get ahold of him, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler can probably help you locate him. Then, Bruce Willis will gather up his friends, and fly around the moon at mach 12 and blow up the ELE right before it hits earth.

  7. What a dumbass.... on The Rise of CSI · · Score: 1

    Katz can't even get the actors names correct.

    It's Marg, not Marge...and it's pronounced as it's spelled. Like 'cargo' without the O on the end.

    I'm all for reviews, but if i'm going to have to start paying for /., you guys could at least get someone who uses proper grammer and actually does research before writing a review.

  8. Just got this spam today.... on FTC Goes After Spammers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just got a spam message today that was in the format of a returned mail message. Even from Mail Delivery Subsystem. The attachment was an ad for pr0n.

    I hate spam as much as the next guy, but, damnit, that's almost ingenious.

  11. Re:Good for Futurama maybe? on The End of The X-Files · · Score: 1

    Chances are, Fox will probably move Dark Angel to the Sunday night time slot, since it's been dismal at Friday night, and for some reason, they seem intent on keeping it.

    Yes, Jessica Alba is hot, but dammit, it seems like James Cameron has got some goods on someone at Fox, because that show will just NOT die.

  14. Ummmm.... on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Correct me if i'm wrong (I'm sure you will), but isn't the Social Security Number System already a country wide ID system?

    I believe i'll be going to the SuperBowl with the Patriots in NFL Fever 2002. Apparently the XBox can do something Robert Craft hasn't been able to do in over a decade.

  16. Re:Remember all that junk about Eagle Scouts? on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 1


    I'm an eagle scout. It's done wonders for me.

    This one company *cough*HHDT*cough* wouldn't know security if it slapped them in the face. They found "something", blamed it on me (i was actually in Brazil when it happened -- hows that for an alibi), yet, they still fired me.

    Next job that hired me said that they were going to take a chance on me ONLY because i was an Eagle Scout, and that whole trustworthiness thing. I hate HHDT for that. My secret goal is to actually someday interview my old boss, but, thats an entire different tangent.


    You know how we make fun of people who have MCSEs, mainly because they usually goto some bootcamp or some shizit like that. Well, obtaining a college degree without the work is sorta like that. You miss the experience that you get from going to college, class lectures, all that stuff.

  17. Happened here too... on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Surfing around my intranet at my last job, found an internal test webserver 0wn3d by poisonbox. Nobody in the company gave a shit.

    That is, until, i sent a message to the CEO, COO, and CFO with their credit card information. Apparently there were credit cards and user information stored on this machine.

    They started to care then. Just a bit though. Of course, two months later, we were one of the companies that had to shut down EVERYTHING due to Nimda.

    They're out of business now. Take that for what it's worth.
