  1. Weird on Squatting On Life · · Score: 2

    Can they patent genes that are currently in my personal gene pool? That scares me. When I have children, do I have to pay royalty to them?

  2. Re:70 msec? on 120 Gigabit Pipe To Oz Begins Operation · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, maybe some time in the future, we'll see "worm-hole networking" ;-)
    Hey. Cool.

  3. future on Authentication Via Geographical Location? · · Score: 1

    how about publicly available booths, like phone booths, where you can plug in a floppy (or whatever), get your GPS location with a timestamp. A lot of thought would have to go into a way of ensuring, to a satisfiable degree, that it was actually you, that retrieved the GeoKey from the GeoKey Booth (tm) ;-)
    It seems a clumsy way, but geographical authentication is hard. It's a weird concept, which I'm not sure that I like at all...

  4. what could be cool on When The FBI Knocks, A First-Person Account · · Score: 1

    ...to secure data/backups would be, as he writes in his article, off-site backups. How about VPN or secure NFS to a place like, yes you guessed it, HavenCo.
    Most of my friends tell me that I'm paranoid, and maybe I am, but hey I think it's kind of cool encrypting emails, files etc, and apart from the feeling, it does keep my data safe, should it be necessary.

  5. Re:Stats on 4 Web Scripting Languages Compared · · Score: 1

    The preview thing fux0rz things up! Fix it plz! Here is the prettier post:

    At Security Space you'll find all sorts of interesting stats, such as what kind of servers people use, what modules apache servers use, what technologies people make use of and what people author their stuff in.
    It's a really good site, which I use a lot to point out how many sites run open source products. Strangely I cannot find Tomcat there... Odd?

  7. hmmmm on 4 Web Scripting Languages Compared · · Score: 2

    ColdFusion is their first choice? I dunno why, seems strange...
    CF and ASP should be bottom, PHP should win, and JSP should be the web-scripting to come, I see huge potential in JSP, but it's so slow...
    Porting the M$ ADO to PHP would be the greatest thing that has happened to PHP since the new scripting engine... But then again, we'd loose all our nice db classes =)

  8. Re:hah! free software at its best on MYSQL & Row Level Locking · · Score: 1

    I would, but I can't afford a 1500 UPU perpetual license for Oracle (2x500Mhz RISC = 1500 UPU = US$ 22.500,-) *sigh* I need another alternative. Not mySQL, not Oracle, something else... What?

  9. For the ignorant on Intel Submits Patent Covering Itanium Instructions · · Score: 1

    ...such as myself, USPTO is an acronym for

    United States Patent and Trademark Office

  10. Correct wording on Intel Submits Patent Covering Itanium Instructions · · Score: 1

    ...would be:

    an attempt to block out even reasonable competition, therefore just "business as usual"

  11. I wonder why on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    ...they didn't install some anti-virus mail scanning thing for Exchange?
    Oh wait... Maybe they aren't using Exchange? ;-)

    Oh well

  12. No cancer on Mobile Phones And Danger · · Score: 1

    ...is good news. This have brought me closer to my decision about trying to wet-wiring with my Nokia ;-) It says in the article that the microwaves causes stress, alchoholism and may cause strong reactions to morphine. All of which will give you bad diseases of some kind... hehehe microwaves causes stress. Nice. This added to the stress that the phone itself gives you. Gotta go, cellphone is ringing, the coffee is getting cold, and I gotta go see my accountant right after the dentist!

  13. Thoughtprovoking on Trailer For First Person Shooter Documentary · · Score: 1

    I didn't think the website was that good or informative...
    I got to get my self a real job as a gamer, and quit this silly job with programming Intranets, websites etc...
    "Hi hon, wow I shot some good heads today at work, I used the railgun mostly. How was your day?"

  14. Tabletop on Dell Offering 1600x1200 Laptops · · Score: 1

    I use 1600x1200 both at home and at work, and I'd just really like a 18,1" tabletop TFT capable of 1600x1200 !!
