  1. Re:MIRROR HERE! on Ladies And Gentlemen, Linux 2.4 · · Score: 2

    I apologize, I must take down my mirror the kernel. My communistic ISP is threatening me. I don't think they liked the extra traffic. I hope I was able to help even out the slashdot effect.

  2. Re:Such Old "News" on Patrolling Networks For Insecurities · · Score: 2

    I do a lot of work with Real Secure, so I'd like to say that I know quite a bit about it's features and what it is capable of.

    Any IDS that you come up with, no matter what it's features are, what it can look for, how many packets it can sniff in an hour, it is still just an IDS.

    It can be bypassed easily. for ex. using %74%65%73%74-%63%67%69 in a URL rather than test-cgi.

    That majority of IDS's that I have seen (including Real Secure, not sure about EMERALD though) will not detect that whatsoever.

    IDS's only represent a small percentage of security and should never be relied on. The majority of security lies in Network Structure, Firewalling, keeping up to date with patches for vulnerabilities, and the KISS rule (Keep It Simple, Stupid).

  5. Relief... on Linux and Gnome Go to the Movies · · Score: 2

    I thought I was crazy during the previews for this Movie. I remember catching a quick glimpse of Ghome.
    This is weird because the majority of all movies that I see, they are using either Macintoshes or some sort of clone when they have a computer. I can't think of any movie I've seen where they have used Windows. (Except for "You've Got Mail" but that movie doesn't count)

  6. I think people might be misinterpreting this on Patents: Two For The Road (To Hell) · · Score: 2

    This might be reduntant, I don't know, but it seems to me that this company patented the "rights to further research" on the genes that cause color blindness. Basically if you are a scientist and want to cure color blindness, youb will have to pay this company royalties. I still think that is f*****d up only because genes have existed in nature for millions of years, no one can "own" them or "own" rights to research them. But because this has happened, now it is proved that anyone can patent any part of the human genome.

  7. I want to patent the Heart genes on Patents: Two For The Road (To Hell) · · Score: 2

    No one can use their Heart to pump blood - unless they pay me royalties first.
    if you can't pay royalties, you'll have to find another, unpatented device to circulate your blood.

  8. This has been out for a while.... on Buffer Overflow In All Shockwave Players · · Score: 5

    But I guess they feel that it is now a bigger threat. Maybe joecartoon and killfrog have been rooting our boxes unsuspectingly for the last year, and they are not catching on.

    Oh well, my favorite resource has some more information here

  9. Re:W00ha on Science and Technology In Y2K · · Score: 1

    I think it was meant to be a joke. Here in southern arizona, for the last 15 years it has rained every summer for about a month. This year we had a draught that lasted 8 months, followed by 4 months of continuous rain. And what was weird is usually when it rains, it is hard, brief, a crap load of lightning, then it's done. But this year it was steady, long, and rainstorms lasted days. All of the dirt roads out in the BFE areas are now torn to hell, some are even unreachable unless you have 4 wheel drive. I can see that Global Warming is really affecting this area.

  10. What about Alice!?!??!? on The Top 15 PC Games Of All Time · · Score: 1

    They forgot American McGee's Alice! I am sorry, it might be a new game, but for anyone who has played it, you can agree with me..... It is one badass game. I have never seen so much creativity put into level details ever. Does anyone else feel the same?

  11. Re:Pop on The Ordinary Slashdot User Answers · · Score: 1

    Extreme Death metal isn't pop. It's a type of music that a certain audience seems to enjoy. And for the most part it certainly isn't mass produced. Sure, MTV has their sellout heavy metal icons (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie....) but really the Heavy Metal, Industrial, and Punk scene has a hell of a lot more culture than Pop ever will.

    When I think of pop all I can think of is "artists" such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet boys..... they are just a bunch of schmoes off the street who might have won a few talent shows in high school that happened to get auditioned for some producers "new hit teen sensation!". They hire some writers and some musicians to throw together the next #1 hit and there ya go... America's music industry going to shame

    Even though I don't care too much for heavy metal, I see it as actual music, and in some cases, actual talent. That band actually took time themselves to come up with a song and to perform it. They also had to deal with a struggly to the top. Britney Spears didn't have to perform in smalltown parks & clubs to get famous like the Voodoo Glow Skulls did ( I saw them first in Bisbee, Arizona.. who other than the people from Southern Arizona has heard of that?). I actually have respect for that though. Even though it took me a while to get to my point, I'm just trying to say that the "Extreme Death Metal" that you describe is nowhere near what today's pop music is.

  12. Reading the ZZZ magazine thing.... on Cool Cases: Armor or Arcade? · · Score: 3

    I was reading about the new laser device that transmits electric impulses to immobilize people. The new "phaser" so to speak.

    One thing didn't set right with me, if it makes all of the target's muscles contract at once, and that target is holding a gun.... what is going to stop the trigger finger from contracting? It would probably set off the gun... Immobilizing the villain would mean risking the lives of others. has anyone else thought of that?

  16. Change one, change all on Non-Traditional Keyboard Reviews · · Score: 1

    A few years ago, I tried getting used to the dvorak keyboard layout. I converted my keyboard, I did their excercises, I regained about 70% of my typing speed.

    But the problem was, sitting at another computer and going to a qwerty layout. And then going to work and sitting down at the qwerty layout.

    I never got to see if I could really improve my typing speed because My mind didn't play well with typing on two different formats. I type with instinct on the qwerty layout and never consciously think of where the keys are, this is from years of typing. I don't think I could get used to anything else, especially since I use about 30 different workstations at work, I don't think they'd let me switch to a new keyboard format on all of them......

  17. Re:Inevitable on US States Vote 26-0 To Move Towards Taxing Non-State Sales · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily, When I purchase off the internet, it is usually to get killer deals. Out of the 3 computer retail stores in my small town, the best deal on a stick of ram i could get is 128 Megs of PC100 for $179. I don't feel like paying $179

    Now... after searching on www.pricewatch.com, I found a Micron 128MB PC133 Stick for only $50. After spending about $10 in shipping. $60 is a lot better deal that spending the $191 I could have spend locally.

  18. What about international tarriffs? on US States Vote 26-0 To Move Towards Taxing Non-State Sales · · Score: 1

    If Someone from a different country were to purchase something from either a catalog or the internet in the US, are they tax exempt? How about If i were to buy something from an internet sales company in Australia, do I have to pay taxes that would go to the US just because I purchased it here? In my own opinion, I think that this entire ordeal is made by a government that doesn't think they are getting enough money out of their people. In my company we all got christmas bonuses, but everyone felt ripped off because they took out 40% in taxes. What more do they need?
