  1. Smart Cards wont stop stupid users on What About "Smart" Credit Cards? · · Score: 2

    As long as these cards are useable in a store of today it wont create any extra security. This will only create more to expolit all at one time.

  5. But who will do something? on Spy Satellites? What Spy Satellites? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    America is the rouge nuclear state it is trying to "protect" it self from. The irony is that no one can force it to do anything it doesnt want to. The UN might have power, but the US will use its power in ways that wont even be directly tied to it other then a bennifit.
    See about the cia and the killing sprees they have had. America had a great ideal, but its time has passed because it can no longer be held true with out money. I am an american.

  6. Is there a tutorial for perl that is simalar ? on Programming in the Ruby Language · · Score: 2

    I like the way this one teaches, is there a tutorial similar to this one for perl?

  11. Re:OSX is great on BSD User's Review Of OS X · · Score: 3, Informative
    OS X IS shit when it comes to speed!

    I just sold my DUAL G4 533 because it was the worst OS I have ever used in reguards to:
    • Speed
    • Application Support
    • Drivers
    • Speed!
    • USEABLITY! (this is a MAC people!)

    Happly I got what I paid for it when I sold it, but I am very very unhappy with OS X. Its a great OS as far as something that has no specialized use, but A Mac is SPECIAL!
    Apple really messed up going with a mix of BSD and NEXT!
    Its got the sense of UNIX in some of the structure but then NEXT gets its foot in the door and it makes no sense. Its not logical in its structure other then the NetInfo database, but even that isnt that great. Apple is great in some respects and bad in others. I have thought of them as a cheapo linux server (old 7200) for a little kid. Other then that apple is not gonna do so well untill they get their shit together.

  19. Re:Neat stuff on Little Linux Systems For Whatever Ails Ya · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And what do you use it for?
    Have you tried the Linux or *bsd or even beos compaitable products?
    Were you trained with windows and so you didnt go on to anything else? How about Macintosh? How do you know linux is unstable? Did you configure it right? There are a million more ways to think about this, but its a biased ideal that makes it so that windows will have a large user base. I think linux is better than windows for the home market. My grandma doesnt want a blue screen, but she can install debian from start to finish with a clear concious because she knows that she is helping.

    I would agree with that statement about Universitys but I was thrown off the main shell server because I compiled nmap. Aparently that means that I was trying to "hack" even though I just really wanted to see what ports were open on the server that i use. People are stupid at all levels. This is including me for thinking it would be alright.

  24. Re:Patently ridiculous... on Battling the Patent Trolls · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well when apple created the sound "sosueme" it was because of the Apple brand of audio equipment.

    The deal was something along the line of; we are a computer maker so we can have the same name as you because we dont do audio. Then apple decided to make audio a part of the computer and they created the alert sound "sosueme".

    I had a point to this story and then I remembered that the closest thing to me has just pushed me away. Now I have no reason to talk about anything. Good bye....
