  1. Qf8g3Ns_3 on Passwords May Be Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    And thank you. A password like that was given to my by the network administrator. F*ckgng hard to remember and f*ck1ng hard to crack. Well brute force will do, but combined with the "three wide and you're out for 30 minutes" makes sure it will take some time ;)

    Passwords like 'b@rbed-*-w1re' will do nicely too I think :)

  2. Sorry. No benefit from younger people. on Overture Search Terms Showcase Piracy Desire · · Score: 1

    [quote] There's even an added benefit - a lot more people will learn ($software), and will potentially become paying customers in the future (this especially applies to younger people). [/quote]

    Grandpa talks: When I was young, we learned word processing with a really sophisticated piece of software called.... "Word Perfect 5.1"

    I'm sorry. No paying Flash users in the future. Maybe a company like Coca Cola can invest in the future. M-Soft... Hmmm. Possible, but a company like MacroMedia?

  3. The golden lesson is..... on Online News Stories that Change Behind Your Back · · Score: 1

    never ever trust what the media is telling you.

    You would expect the media to be independent, but they're not. But this is quite natural.

    It striked me when i read an article about europe on an indian website, talking about how 'right wing' europe has become. This is really not how we look at things here.

    The only conclusion is think about things your selve and always ask "is this true what theu're saying and is this the whole story?"

  4. GENERAL DISCLAIMER on More on Kazaa and Brilliant Digital Spyware · · Score: 1

    Hereby I forbid the installation of unwanted, by me or by anyone else, software.
    Even if I blindly click 'yes' or agree to the most obsture terms, the above ALWAYS aplies.
    Violation of this WILL cost you.

    Hmm. For a first attempt it's nice ;)

  5. OOPS, my tv is swiched off! on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Now I don't watch the ads therefore I'm a thieve.
    Well. My hourly rate for watching ads is.. Hmm.. HIGH ;)
    Be my guest. Make me watch the ads and I'll send you a BIG BIG bill!

  6. Scientists should consider Mars contamination on Mars Exploration Must Consider Contamination · · Score: 1

    The other way around doesn't seen that important.
    How about earth lifeforms contaminating Mars? What will happen to Mars lifeforms when they cone in contact with our bacteria or worse like violent and dangerous intelligent lifeforms known as humans?

  7. Don't implement windows in SAMBA. on Samba Team Responds to Microsoft CIFS Spec License · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Turn it around. Implement SAMBA in windows.
    My FTP-client is integrated in windows, so why don't they make a SAMBA-plugin for windows.
    Don't bow for windows and accept everything they invent.
    This way you can get maximum compatibility between M$ and Linux without nasty M$ licences.

  8. Sometimes success! on Another Go At Making Spam Cost Money · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One spammer got my attention by sending me the same mail multiple times.
    It took me half an hour to track down and mail the free web provider, the free mail provider, the free scripts provider, the (possibly) abused mail-relays etc etc.

    Now the web-site is off-line and one by one (I hope) all his services will fail. Scripts will return errors, mailboxes will close and so on.

    I guess that will p*ss that spammer off :)

  9. Materials on The Post 9/11 Tech Boom · · Score: 1

    firearms. Hmm. That is a truely important invention, but to stay with the toppic:

    - light weight materials (aluminium)
    - all kinds of glues

    These things were invented for lighter airplanes but found theur way in buildings (Jean Prouve, a frensh architect) and the car industrie.

  10. Knowingly endangering people on Perimeter Railway for ISS; HETE-1 Comes Down · · Score: 1

    I realise that is is very expensive to collect the spacegarbage, but hey, if I mess up my room I have to clean it up too ;)

    The point I wanted to make wasn't that space agencies should clean up their mess.
    The point I wanted to make is this: When you know large peaces of space-junk will fall on earth and you don't know WHERE is will fall down, you are knowingly endangering people.
    With the Mir they more or less controlled the crash but with these batteries.....

    Maybe they should clean up their garbage, but it IS way too expensive indeed. Will it ever be economically feasible to clean it up? Cleaning up nuclear waste isn't economically feasible.
    Maybe one day there will be an other reason for the space agencies to clean up their mess. When too many satellites get damaged perhaps.

  11. Space bombardments at random location on earth on Perimeter Railway for ISS; HETE-1 Comes Down · · Score: 1

    Nice fellows. They know for years that that batteries will crash SOMEWHERE. They had enough time to pick their garbage up, but they decided to let the garbage crash.
    What would have happened if it crached in a higher populated area than Nepal or Tibet?

    I would say this is highly unresponsible behaviour.

  12. Make Samba for windows. on Microsoft Tech Specs Prohibit GPL Implementations · · Score: 1

    I've seen ftp-servers functioning from within the filemanager.
    My suggestion is this: Make a 3rd party plugin for the file-explorer that connects the coputer's filesystem with the network. Base this plugin on Samba (of NFS for that matter).
    The specs ar already known. Integration with Linux networks is guaranteed. M-soft can do with their network-protocol what they want.
    Who needs their protocols anyway?

    Extend and embrace ;)

  13. simple and fast solution on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1

    the solution is simple: it's nothing moer than an extra deny in a firewall :)

    and for doubleclick: my virusscanner sees it as an 'evil' site and blocks it...

  14. Microcomputer... on Sandia Builds Micromechanical 'Device Driver' · · Score: 1

    Soon we will be building micro steamengines.
    That will take us risht into the micro industrial revolution which in turn will lead to the micro computer ;)

  15. Learning material on Open Source And The Obligation To Recycle · · Score: 1

    I've leaned the tricks by looking at other examples. I've also learned from mistakes. copy-paste-analyse-learn.
    Even if the examples are 'bad' there is stuff to learn. Please, more open source!

    And who said it was the software that caused a company to fail? Even with 'bad' software you can run a good^H^H^H^H strong company ;)

    Will an electro magnetic pulse render the bills useless???

    ;)

  17. Upgrade on Another Gaping Microsoft Security Hole Goes Unpatched · · Score: 1

    If I were M$ I wouldn't write a patch either.
    I would write a new and more expensive OS without the 'feature'. Thereby forsing all the users to upgrade.

    And actually, it might be cheeper for M$ to do instead of writing a patch.

  18. TU-Delft on Big Berlin Blinkenlichten · · Score: 3, Informative

    The TU-Delft did the same thing in feb. this year as a stunt. Only they used a 23 floor building to display messages and to play snake :)

    Wow! I'm really inpressed 159 bytes in this Windows age is REALLY NICE. Many years ago you had a destructive virus (calles Define) of 30 bytes overwriting all .com files.

    But 159 bytes and spreading by outlook and icq. My compliments! Err. For educational value of course.

  23. Stress-test on Building a Better Webserver · · Score: 1

    Good plan, Stan. Let's write an interesting article and post it on Slashdot. I bet it can handle all them readers!

    Yup, so do I, George. So do I!

    [And the rest is history...]

  24. Impossible. on Saudi Arabia's 'Great Firewall' · · Score: 1

    The 'bad site' is always one step ahead of you.
    They can hide content in so many ways or find other ways to get it to you. If people want to see 'bad sites' it's always possible. Think about anonymizers and ssl. You wouldn't know whish site is visited.

    Ofcourse you could turn around the whole process and ALLOW sites you trust and block everything else. It would make internet very small. But it should work.

    And IF someone comes up with a good filter, PLEASE use it for anti-spam aswell :)
    (which is also practically impossible to block)

    The only way to block 'bad sites' is to have no internet.

  25. Re:+1 Insightful on the MQR standard on Monster European Environmental Satellite · · Score: 1

    Scam? Just what IF a thing like global warming exist? Just what IF phenomenons like el nino are influenced by global warming?

    It doesn't hurt to produce less exhaust from cars, planes and factories. it just might save some trees.

    "The fact that we are still minor players in the biosphere" is a reason to ignore the effect?

    If you're not sure, better play safe, or are you willing, if the scientists ARE right about global warming, to risk my life too?
