  1. Re:Riiiders froooom SPAAAAACE! on Mapping The Tour de France Riders From Space · · Score: 1

    I thought maybe the Greys had entered a Riders From Space team. Instead it was about some LoJack systems for bicycles.

    Only if the server was hanged.

  7. Re:This is a bunch of BS!!!! on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    I doubt it. Posting to Usenet via telnet to NNTP is enough of a pain. Typing in the HTTP POST on Slashdot by hand would be a truly brutal John Henry-like operation. (At least the 20 second "Slow down Cowboy" warning would be unlikely.)

  8. Re:Spam time! on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    Are there still any of those sites that put up a map with circled zones of destruction for various mega-tonnages? ;)

    It uses the monitor as a scanner to collect data on pupil dilation, skin temperature, pulse, and CO2 production of a user while a PDF is displayed to calculate a PHQ.

    Son of a gun! I must have missed the upgrade notices or something. Thanks for the tip, the old version that I have needs urine samples.

    I've heard reports of studies where night-vision impairment is quite common. Among other things, say goodbye to night-driving.

  11. "I'll bite your legs off!" on Groklaw Debunks SCO's ELF Heist · · Score: 1

    Could someone please introduce the Black SCO Knight to Mr. Boomstick and finish this off, now, please?

    They were busy Takin' Care of Business, but issued a short statement that You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.

    They would pick something even more liberal or conservative than what we already have.

    Or even worse, exactly as liberal or conservative as we already have! ;)

  14. Re:Allegedly threatening a DDoS attack? on British Authorities Nail Online Blackmailers · · Score: 1

    Until actually convicted, the guy found with a smoking gun over a corpse, shouting "Ahaha! I shot him!", with several witnesses and live network feed watching is only an alleged murderer. (And possibly an "extreme" reality TV show contestant.)

    You don't think falling out of a giant marble cup 14 miles in the air, held up by art, was surreal enough? Belgium!

    Didn't those come back for a bit in the 90s? Or am I thinking of those singing raisins?

    It's alive! Bwahahaha, I have created a monitor! Wait .. Igor, hand me those plans again, would you? Damn this dyslexia.

  19. Re:Wouldn't software firewalls do this as well... on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1
    The problem is isolation. If the malware is running with admin rights, then it can attempt to switch-off/bypass the software firewall on the same machine. Apparently some malware tries to do this now.

    Another problem is that apps on Windows can piggyback on IE's permissions for HTTP connections.

  20. Re:Time to move to Mach-o on SCO Claims Linux Lifted ELF · · Score: 1
    When was the last time SCO compiled anything?

    They just compiled their mistakes.

  21. Re:It just ain't broadcast.. on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1

    And if Google could carry that newsgroup, distribution would be even easier. Let's see now, XML RSS over NNTP to Google and out via HTTP...

  22. Re:It just ain't broadcast.. on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1
    Hey, and to jazz up Usenet, people can make it available as an RSS feed too! (Maybe with some P2P as well.) And then make it so that anyone can moderate, but you only see moderation from people you trust via FOAF RDF.

    (I hope I'm kidding, but...)

  23. Re:A few dont get it on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1
    You could even transmit it over television signals. It's old tech, I worked on a project in 1987 that sent advertising to LED display signs that way. More recently Microsoft had a Big Feature in Windows 98 where PC's with tuner cards could tap an information feed from PBS that way. (Did anyone ever give that a try? Me neither.)

    It's not a high speed channel (9600bps) and it's probably shared by Close Captioning now, but it could be done and would have nice uses combined with TV. (A newsfeed for TV news, wow, what a concept!)

  24. Re:Idea use IRC on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1

    Instead of IRC, why not Usenet? (Or perhaps more like Usenet back in the days of UUCP.)

  25. Re:Won't help on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Maybe not--it depends on how the programs work. If they check a feed an hour from the start of the last check rather than an hour from when the last check ended, they won't drift.

    However, the smart money is on Murphy. :)
