  1. Re:Linux on Apollo On Board Computer Emulator · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you can write a Turing Machine on it, you're there. Just give it a long enough R/W tape, and let'er rip! (I will warn you that your FPS frame rate will suck.)

    If it gets infected with Gator/Claria, it'll probably take them somewhere that sells printer ink and toner.

  3. Re:Ruins in apache on Linux on a Used Cash Register: Reloaded · · Score: 2, Funny

    It might make a good replacement for Edvard Munch's "The Scream" which was stolen recently.

    Maybe if he grew some face-fur and whiskers?

    Neither of them are real firewalls. For light-duty protection, I've never had problems with ZA. Either product is probably better than using the software firewall from the same company that should have made their OS secure in the first place.

    In any event, supporting all their log file formats should be easy. For starters I'll either go with pinball SFX or swipe the ones from Doom 2. (The port 445 sound is going to get used a hell of a lot!)

  6. Re:Check their SPEWS record on CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors · · Score: 1

    That page contains a number of errors in the first paragraph. Beyond that, there's no evidence quoted of the source of DDoS attacks that SA claims they received. Was it SPEWS supporters, general NANAE newsgroup population (with its usual assortment of kooks and flakes), someone who wanted to make SPEWS look bad, or even SA users who wanted to stir things up? Unknown. (Maybe even some of the FooNet gang who carried out DDoS attacks on Spamhaus late last year.)

  7. Re:Common Sense on Tao of Security Monitoring · · Score: 1
    I was thinking of writing a program to continuously monitor the Zone Alarm logs and play wav sounds. As an option, people could install theme packs with various sounds depending on the port and source IP address. Repeated hits would increase the volume of the sound.

    That ought to make people (and the surrounding cubicals) feel secure!

    They said we would have flying mortars. Where's my flying mortar?
    "Hurtling through the air towards them came what seemed to be a flying kitchen bowl, ringed with flames. As it came closer they saw it was a sturdy grinding mortar, paddled along by a hideous old hag with a giant pestle"
    She's got a space-age house and drives a UFO, no fair!

    Have you ever accidently flipped to the Facelift Channel? Yaaargh! (Shades of the movie Brazil.) I think I'll keep my face the way it is. "I don't mind it, I'm behind it"

  10. Re:If you get a domain wrong... on Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of us who still use DNS for stuff other than browsers, and it's a pain. (Yeah, a number of TLDs work like Verisign wanted to do with .com and .net, but who cares if there's problems with .bf domains?)

    That's a problem for next week when we [tinw] think they should be replaced by the ITU or the United Nations.

    These guys are total scum.

    First they hire packet-monkeys to DDOS business rivals, then they put dodgy java script on their page. Ye gads, next they'll stop paying for overdue library books. Better fry them now!

  13. Re:Great. on Grow Your Own Replacement Bones · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe they'll work-out how to regrow noses, and Michael Jackson can put that piece of his ear back? (The idea that pain will limit abuse is, perhaps, wishful thinking.)

  14. Re:Orbit's website needs updating on CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors · · Score: 1

    Take a look at all the cruddy vbscript that page wants to run.

  15. OrbitSat are script-monkies on CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors · · Score: 5, Informative

    Before going to that retailer link in the article, make sure that your browser is locked up tight. They try to run an awful lot of VBscript and copy/paste to your clipboard. (Not sure what it all does, but I wouldn't trust them.)

    UPDATE: "Our long national nightmare is over" - Foonet raided, shut down.

    Definitely stinky-cheese spammers too!

    What do you mean rejected? They still ran a story that they found absolutely no truth to the rumour. That way they get to use the story and not get sued.

    Woah, and Keanu Reeves wakes up from the Matrix and discovers that he's a hamster! I knew it, and it explains so many things about him!

    How about a case-mod that gives it an Geiger Alien look? If you can keep playing while looking an Alien's double-mouth .. in the mouths, then you know that you're good.

    Remember all the people who used to get repetitive strain injuries, blisters, etc, from playing arcade games continuously? I'll bet the doctors and chiropractors would love the first good twitch game that comes out for this system.
