  1. Re:how free news sites could survive on The Failure of Tech Journalism · · Score: 1

    I can just see it now....

    A magazine that has out of date comments about articles in other magazines...

    Comes in multiple flavours from -2 to +5

    Shelves of magazines stripped bare as slashdot references every two bit mag that has ten readers an issue.

  2. DVD on Anime and the Future of Digital Animation · · Score: 1

    *Now* they say its streaming live.....

    I only bought the DVD last week..... b*ds!

    It is well worth seeing though and on the DVD the making of doco is pretty cool. The way they handled it as a 'project', it was almost like a bunch of geeks sitting around planning a case mod or something [:

  3. How would SSL help? on Hotmail Hacked · · Score: 1

    Perhaps SSL would help by making it a secure system?

    Perhaps encrypting all traffic between client and server would make it a wee bit more secure?

    This would also give some 'state' (if handled properly) to the hotmail session, and not allow you to jump to someone else's mailbox/email.

    ... but moving to a secure (SSL) site would be a major investment, even by MS's standards and with .NET coming they would hardly think it worth while.

  4. Re:here's the instructions how to do it on Hotmail Hacked · · Score: 1

    I think you meant "POST and not GET"?

    then again, POST is not going to help security, it is just going to hide the http parameters....

    Using a session based system, SSL or even using one of those million cookies that hotmail seems to set would be more secure.

  5. Foxed? [OT] on Quake 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    I thought 'foxed' was termed by OLGA (and its mirrors) being shut down (ok... attempting to be shut down) by Harry Fox?

  6. Star Wars : the musical returns.... on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anakin: Quick, send in the clones
    Obi-Wan: Don't bother, they're here
    Lucas: Isn't it rich, isn't it queer, Losing my timing so late in my career
    SW Fans: There ought to be clones
    Lucas and Fox Studios:: Well maybe next year

  7. Re:For those who are mono-lingual on Slashback: Mono, Names, Locking Up · · Score: 1

    don't forget a beowulf cluster

    12 Monkeys

  8. I gather.... on [Your Name Here] Goes To Mars · · Score: 1

    ....that the server is on Mars as well?

    Note: It is a violation of U.S. Code to improperly use Federal computing resources. You are on an official US Government (Federal) web site now.

    Does this /. make us all criminals?

    What is the cost of adding one CD to the payload of the lander? what amount of fuel is needed to launch that extra weight?

  9. Hmmm.... on The Lamps Are The Network · · Score: 1

    As compared to large carbon atoms?

  10. Didn't/Don't need graphics...... on The Tenth Birthday Of The World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    I only had shell access (they banned slirp at uni).... so it was good old lynx for me....

  11. URL on Slashback: Space, Smallness, Pigeons · · Score: 1

    This link works better. Gotta remember that shift button.

  12. Re:35c is a bargain in Austrailia on CD-R Prices Could Triple This Summer · · Score: 1

    umm.....as another Australian, I can say that you can get cheapo spindles that work out at 50c AU each at Kmart.... or if you are lucky like me, you get Verbatims through a relative for about $60c AU each with jewel case....

  13. Re:He might make it... on To the Moon, Alice · · Score: 1
    ...in a related story....
    Man flies to moon, does brain surgery on self
    The man who spent $250,000 to engineer himself into space, will next attempt to land on the moon and give himself a lobotomy.....
  14. Re:ID on Rockets of Doom From Carmack And Friends · · Score: 1

    ...pity it seems more ego than id now

  15. Let them take the ring tones..... on Ring-Tone Royalties · · Score: 4

    at least then I won't hear the fucking top 40 coming through tinny little monophonic speakers...
    I think we need to upgrade phones to have full midi capability.....
    Then worry about ring tone copyright

  16. Re:I'm surprised... on Apple: First to Latest · · Score: 1

    It probably went through an MS Passport service at some stage.... therefore making it MS's IP.

  17. Re:"Old as the Hills" on Security Hole In TCP · · Score: 1

    Which brainless mod said that was Funny? For fuck sake, it's not funny, it's true.
    I am so sick of the web = internet morons?

  18. Re:Had me going.... on Slashback: Smallness, Blackouts, South Australia · · Score: 1

    Don't you hate it when they edit behind your back as you are posting?

  19. Had me going.... on Slashback: Smallness, Blackouts, South Australia · · Score: 1

    To think! An Australian centered link, two of them even.
    ... but hang on the first one goes to /. and the second one is using the new 'lets put in http:// twice just to make sure'

    Hmmmm perhaps some simple checks?

  20. Re:We are approaching the days of the final app. on Jef Raskin On OS X: "It's UNIX, It's backwards." · · Score: 1

    Internet Browser : Someone who cannot decide between AOL and MSN

  21. Re:Don't count on the music on Spielberg (And Kubrick)'s A.I. · · Score: 1

    Castaway used the Braveheart music in it's trailer.
    ...and I don't know how many movie trailers have used "Spybreak!" by the propellerheads in their trailers after it was used in The Matrix.

  22. Re:pre-emptive multitasking on Ten Technologies That Shouldn't Have Died? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently wearing a Mambo Automatic watch , that I bought this time last year new..

    It is a 'self winding' watch and I never have problems with it.

    Ever notice how they were never called 'analogue' watches until 'digital' watches became the norm for sheeples?

  23. Re:Er -- so what? on SmartFilter: Way Too Extreme · · Score: 1

    Bloody Peasant

  24. Re:Mac has an customizable interface now? on Users Hack Aqua to Make It More Usable · · Score: 1

    Has anyone heard of ProTools? How much of music that is recorded in this day and age is recorded/mixed with ProTools?
    The fact is, that it has just come over to Wintel (it still isn't as good/stable IMO).
    Digital video editing? and we are not just talking people making home movies here....
    And of course the design/layout of a lot of magazines/newspapers is done on Mac...
    Can you play Counter-Strike....? Since when was gaming the be all and end all of computer systems...?

  25. Re:Thumbnails... on Whistler vs. KDE/Gnome · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a registry hack to make an image file's icon a thumbnail in windows95/98/ME?
    I can remember using it at some stage, but I've reinstalled Windows a *cough* few times since then and never turned it on again.
