  1. Drugs. on The Eyes Have It · · Score: 1

    I'm no bio kid but I bet there are plenty of drugs that could be used to regulate body temperature and hence defeat thermal imaging.

  2. Another Workaround on AOL Instant Messenger Remote Hole · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure the JAVA version of the AIM client is up to date with the newest bells and whistles. So I doubt the AIM Express client is vulnerable. I'd just use that in the mean time.

    For the lazy: AIM Express

    ( Yeah I know, I posted this to the wrong thread origanally. : ( )

  4. Slashdotted on No More Sweaty Mouse Hands · · Score: 3, Informative

    It seems to be gettin' slashdotted. I decided to mirror it:

    http://bunkergate.org/RottaFlekti-MouseFan.htm

    I hope this doesn't hurt too much. : P

  5. OS on 802.11b Space Suits · · Score: 1

    I hope they don't run Windows. Otherwise the astronauts will just play solitaire during their space walks. : /

  6. Funding? on Deep Space One Mission Comes To An End · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If the thing's already built and deployed how much more funding can be required? The cash to employ a team to monitor/operate it? I think it'd be foolish to let it go to waste.

  7. Applications? on Quantum Holography · · Score: 0, Troll

    Forget detecting cancer and airport security. Imagine what this could do for voyeur pr0n! : P

    And speaking of psychics, why do I know that the only people that'll read this post will be browsing at -1?

  8. Re:Schroedinger's Cat on Quantum Holography · · Score: 1

    Nothing is observed directly. Sad, but true.

  9. AMD Link on CPU Wars · · Score: 1

    Anyone else notice that MSOfficesque error on the AMD link? Where it says "ClawHammer". I just thought that was funny.

  10. It's not too bad... on Next Restricted CD Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least they are labeling the CDs as copy protected. Also, it's good to see that the stores will accept returns on opened ones.

    I'm just pointing out that it could be worse. They're only fuckin' you over your fair use.

  11. Re:Spare time. on Path of Least Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Or they have something very serious to hide.

    Yeah, and, for example, just because I don't want (say) the FBI browsing through my files I MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE, eh?

  12. Re:Good Eating? on Coming Back Soon... The Tasmanian Tiger? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I say leave nature alone...

    Are humans not natural? Are not the things we create naturual? (Would not you consider the damns created by beavers natural?) Bringing back the dead should be considered naturual because we (of nature) would be the ones doing it. However, if this backfires (somehow) and we end up dooming ourselves (*gasp*) that would be natural too.

  13. What a load of crap! on Microsoft Would Settle For The Children · · Score: 1

    How is this even slap on the wrist!? Now the schools will have to pay MS every 2 years for the latest version of Windows and Office!

    Do people think before they do anymore?

  14. What a load of crap? on Microsoft Would Settle For The Children · · Score: 1

    This isn't even a slap on the wrist! Now the schools will get stuck in a cycle of perpetual software upgrades! Mein gott, do people actually think before they do things anymore?!

  15. What about.... on Libraries Asked To Destroy Reports, Databases · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about people who have some of this information memorized. Should they be destroyed as well?

    It kind of makes me want get the information and put it up on web server located in switzerland.

  16. Hrm? on Interactive Fiction Competition 2001 Results · · Score: 2, Funny

    remember when we competition started?
    Me now confuse?

  17. Imagine a... on How Not To Ship Computers · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine a beowulf cluster of broken Power Mac G4s?

  18. Re:In order to buy one of these... on Self-Assembling Nanocomputers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe people once thought that about what I am using currently to post this message.

    just a thought . . .

  19. Re:Free speech? There's a difference. on Council of Europe Pushes Net Hate-Speech Ban · · Score: 1
    Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf (My Struggle) remains banned in Germany.

    Hrm, did anyone ever stop to think that banning things might make it more appealing. Teenagers typically are not full of trust and it is only natural for them to become interested in things that are forbidden. (Why are they hiding this from me? What do they not want me to know?)

    Oh well, that's just what I think.
  20. Sad... on White House Frowns on National ID Card · · Score: 1

    There will be a day when one needs a card to legally exist. It's sad really.

  21. Cats and Water? on Operation Acoustic Kitty · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suppose this would explain why cats do not seem to like water. Perhaps they're all rigged now?

    Hrm...
    [::imagines the effect of slashdotters killing all cats::] (The black plague started in quite a similar manner.)

  22. Re:Future Crew, Demos, Elegant Code... on Game-development on Compaq iPaq · · Score: 2, Informative

    There still exist people today who write hardcore visual programs that are small and elegant. Unfortunatly they are usually crackers and a lot of them may end up in jail before they are old enough to get real jobs. : (

    Here's an archive of cracking intros:

    I'm fond of the Paradigm intros myself. Some of them have kick ass music too!

  23. Old Athlon Getting Slower? on Athlon XP1900+ -- Faster Than A 2GHz P4? · · Score: 5, Funny
    I love watching my old Athlon get slower every day ...
    Leave it up to a filthy corparation like AMD to send out signals to slow down their older processors when they release a new one. I'm stickin' with Intel.
  24. Not to sound like a dick.... on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not to sound like a dick, but isn't this just as bad as that stupid Microsoft Free Friday Apache mod? Yeah, mod me down, flame me -- whatever.

    Why is it that when the underdog does something dirty it's all right? (Granted, the Apache mod was probably written by an individual [not a corp.], but still...)

  25. Dept. of Energy on Which Government Agencies are *nix-Friendly? · · Score: 1

    Well, I've worked (sort of) in high energy physics and it has been my expierence that most high energy physicist run linux. A lot of there projects are funded in part by the DoE. So, I suppose that counts?
