  1. My Experience with the MPAA on DeCSS, From the Beginning · · Score: 1

    I have it documented here. It is my first and only 'cease & decist' letter. I can't say that what I did wasn't wrong, but it sucks that my DSL had to go away for a while...

  2. NSA? on When A Cable Dies · · Score: 1

    Please look at this previous slashdot story:
    NSA Tapping Underwater Fiber Optics

  3. Thrustmaster? on Kick Your Input Device · · Score: 3

  4. Superman Powers? on TheKompany's Shawn Gordon Responds In Full · · Score: 5

    I was going to suggest Kryptonite as a name for your next app, but nevermind

  5. Re:No, no no... Re:Explanation on At My House We Call Them "Uh-Oh's" · · Score: 2

    *sigh*

    Ralph: This is my swing set. This is my sandbox. I'm not allowed to go in the deep end. That's where I saw the leprechaun!
    Bart: Right, a leprechaun.
    Ralph: He told me to burn things.
    Bart: Uh huh...

  6. Nothing that naturally produces that color? on Amelia Earhart Mystery Solved? · · Score: 2

    There's 12318241398 Gazillion (very wild guess) unclassified species, a majority of which sit in the ocean, and they can honestly say that there's nothing that produces a rust color naturally???

  7. Big News on 99% Blockage Isn't Good Enough, Says Napster Judge · · Score: 5

    This means that DNA evidence can no longer be allowed to stand up in court. It's only 99.999998% effective, you know.

  8. Deep Space Homer on The Faceless Astronauts · · Score: 2

    Solution is documented here.

  9. Re:Sounded harsh until I looked at mysql.org on MySQL.com vs. MySQL.org? · · Score: 2

    From www.mysql.org...

    If you are looking for the MySQL AB company, click here. If you came here looking for NuSphere, click here.

  10. They got what was coming to them on MySQL.com vs. MySQL.org? · · Score: 4

    MySQL(TM) should have registered...

    MySQL.com
    MySQL.net
    MySQL.org
    MySQL.co.uk
    MySQL.gov
    MySQL.mil
    MySQL.mars
    etc...

    ...when they had the chance. That's what almost every other company does. Even slashdot (www.slashdot.org, www.slashdot.com).

  11. Clean? on Microsoft to Change OEM Licensing · · Score: 3

    PC manufacturers will retain the option of putting icons directly onto the Windows desktop. Based on extensive customer usability studies, Microsoft had designed Windows XP to ship with a clean desktop and improved Start menu, but PC manufacturers will now have the option of continuing to place icons on the Windows desktop if they want to.

    For most people who run computers with a default manufacturer's install of any Windows OS, the desktop is always bloated whether it comes with the icon's on the desktop or not. The level of expertise for that average user isn't high enough to know of any directory other than c:\windows\desktop, to which they are under the impression is their root directory if you notice Windows filesystem hierarchy. Having seen one too many home user's systems, I understand that even windows can be too complicated for some people. They save everything onto the desktop! I've seen some people whose desktop's were so full icons they started pouring off the screen!
    Why Microsoft would want to ship their desktop "clean" is beyond me, they should already know that "clean" isn't going to stay that way for very long.

  12. Where to get an iBook on Installing Linux On The New Apple iBook · · Score: 2

    Anyone have any good links on where to get an iBook? I went on pricewatch.com and all I found were iBook's that only come with macOS9. After reading everyone's opinions.. I'd like to take a closer look and put better consideration into turning to the mac side....

  13. My Prompt on What Does Your Command Prompt Look Like? · · Score: 2

    Any other router people out there?

  14. Re:Square watermelons? on Signs of the Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    This is probably a little too late to reply, but I hope ya catch this...

    A guy I work with, his daughter is an MIT student who was involved in this student prank. The goal was to prove what can be done with photoshop. The cat was lured into the jar with a treat, as soon as the cat went into the jar, it's picture was taken... in photoshop it was then made to appear that the cat was crunched up inside of the glass. There was absolutely no harm done to an animal, except for maybe the unhealthy treat.

  15. Uhm.... on Nasubi - The Ultimate Survivor · · Score: 2

    ...okay, if this were you, would you not be severely ticked? Taken prisoner for commercial purposes, and exploited for over a year? I'm sorry, but i'd have had to kill someone sometime in there....

  16. Good idea on DSLBlaster? · · Score: 1

    If they could get decent bandwidth out of it, I mean, where I am, DSL is $80 a month and it's available in only one small part of town. Oh yeah, and i would have the modem already =)

  17. Immortality would Suck on Ask Internet Icon Alex Chiu · · Score: 2

    The only reason I would fork over the cash for something like that, is to see the future. But that's not much of an issue, I look forward to dying as an old man. So because you people will be pioneering toward the future, and us lazy people still wanna see what's ahead in time without the immortal side effects..... Will there be a service sometime that I could use to be removed from my timeline and taken to the future as soon as Time Travel is invented?

  18. Quake is bad on Killing Video Games · · Score: 5

    Who needs unhealthy fps games like Quake? Games that teach you that killing human shaped things in a non realistic environment is OKAY? I would not want my children playing such awful awful kinds of entertainment. Pointing & Shooting? Why, no wonder so many kids are shooting up schools!

    I would much rather my children play healthy, non fps games that teach them healthier lessons! Like Need for speed 3 or Grand Theft Auto 2. This way my kids will learn valuable driving skills and will know the proper respect to give authority figures.

  19. Re:McDonalds and Peace on Technology And The Fast Food Nation · · Score: 2

    Does yugoslavia still exist??

  20. Did they win? on Launchcast Sued · · Score: 2

    Anyone can sue anyone for any reason, it's whether you win the lawsuit or not that makes the difference. If launch has the licenses necessary to broadcast the said copyrighted material, then the RIAA or anyone else doesn't have much of a lawsuit. I've been sued before; the plaintiff didn't get very far, but they still filed the lawsuit...

  21. The CIA on Security - Logitech Wireless Mice & Keyboards Can Be Sniffed · · Score: 2

    Okay, I got all this from an old man who I work with that used to work for the NSA, this is what he says, I dunno if he is nuts or not.....

    The CIA has their main building that is built within another building, and between the two buildings... white noise is pumped throughout. There is a good reason for this, *THEY* (NSA, CIA, MIB, Echeleon, whoever you are paranoid against) have the technology to sniff your keystrokes from about 50 yards away, even with your traditional wired keyboard. In some cases they can read even the radiation from your monitor.

  22. 20 GB Portable Drive on Iomega Plans 20GB Portable Drives · · Score: 5

  23. Sudden drop in defacements? on Attrition.org Defacement Mirror Frozen In Time · · Score: 3

    If alldas doesn't become as popular as attrition, please watch for a sudden drop in defacements. The driving force for 99.9% of all defacements is for people to get attention. Most of the websites hit actually get the more traffic than they've ever got once they get posted on attrition. Who honestly cares about www.randomschoolinsomebackyardstate.k12.xx.us?? It's just a forum for underachievers to get attention. I think that with attrition leaving the scene, this entire web defacement trend just might calm down a bit.

  24. Army Installations on Do You Have Your 'Crisis Week'? · · Score: 3

    I work on an army base. About a month ago, the entire Installation had our little practice excercises. It lasted one week, and we made it all the way up to Threatcon DELTA (The highest level of threat). During this time there was...

    Bombings

    Spies Peering into places

    Security Checkpoints almost everywhere

    Attacks on networks (software AND hardware)

    Power outages

    Phone outages

    All simulated of course. From the Army's standpoint, it was a great training excercise. From the contractor's standpoint, it was a huge hassle, but I learned a lot regardless. That was my experience though.
