  1. Re:Quicky how-to (the real one is decent) on OpenBSD Gets Even More Secure · · Score: -1

    I could also use a Cheat sheet. I am setting up a new network server at work and maybe i'll give Open BSD a shot.

    woo at operamail dot com

  2. Re:Orgies due to alcohol consumption on Top 10 Gadgets of All Time · · Score: 0

    The title says it all...

  3. not _that_ big of a deal on Free (Ad-Supported) DSL ISP Debuts · · Score: 0

    I bet you they only pick up the ISP charge. At least here in MD, Bell Atlantic charges $40 for the DSL line and then you can get different ISP's ranging from $15-20. These guys are probally just paying that $15-20, you still owe the phone co. I'll stick with my cracked accounts that I've been using for years for free :P

  4. Is there a merit badge for warez busting now? on The BSA Going After IRC Warez Channels · · Score: 1

    At first glance I thought this was the Boy Scouts of America, who use the same initials BSA. I find that quite amusing...

  5. Re:Hahahahahaha on Microsoft Bites It On 64-bit Microprocessors · · Score: 1

    ...wouldn't that be the bugs which are so called "features"?

  6. Re:what's up with all /this/ stuff? on The Truth About SETI@Home · · Score: 1

    yes, but is it really neccicary nowadays when we have formated text?

  7. I didn't think it was that scary... on Forum:Blair Witch Project · · Score: 1

    however, this was in a packed theater, with jackass's all around me talking the WHOLE movie...way to spoil it. I'm sure if I had been all alone in a nice quite and cold theatre, I wouldn't have been able to sleep for a week. I've never had an hour and a half go by so slow in my life.

    See it with a girl, and watch them wiggle, scream, and cuddle beside you.

  8. what's up with all /this/ stuff? on The Truth About SETI@Home · · Score: 1

    is anyone else getting tired of /hemo's/ way of emphazing /stuff/?

  9. anyone get in? on Barred from Red Hat IPO? · · Score: 1

    has anyone gotton "accepted" yet, and if so, how did they go about filling out the survey? There are 6 million shares to be distributed...share the knowledge a little...

  10. Re:There are two separate issues ... make that thr on Feature: Ticket Booth Tyranny (Part Two) · · Score: 1

    isn't it great when people hit 'enter' inside the comment boxes...makes them look like poems!

    heh

  11. Re:What an amazingly bad idea on Beaming Money · · Score: 1

    the palm wouldn't have to crack the code, once you have the key it is just as simple to decrypt as any other method. However, if you are planning on brute force cracking the code, that would take forever, a more feisable effort might be to capture the transaction, then load it back home and crack it there...

    just a thought.

  12. yes! on Inprise/Borland Developers Conference Linux Nuggets · · Score: 1

    maybe now we'll see some other movement from other company's to port development tools to linux...as much as I hate to say it, microsoft's VC++ actully has a nice interface.

  13. swamp the comment page! on The Anti-Linux-IPO Howto · · Score: 1

    everyone go read the article and then post a comment, i bet they'll be surpised when they end up with 100+ comments for 1 article!

  14. YES! Flame War! on BSD: "The Net's stealth operating system" · · Score: 1

    I needed a good flame war to cure my ADD at work and get my attention back.

  15. what happened eh? on MP3.com goes public: Public goes Crazy · · Score: 1

    heh, they posted a repeat story, and then 2 minutes later they try to cover it up by removing it.

    What has rob been smoking?

  16. other solutions? on Inexpensive 11megabit Wireless LAN · · Score: 1

    does anyone know of any other cheap solutions currently available for the x86 line? Me and my friends were thinking of setting up a neigborhood lan...man that would be great.

  17. There is a still a major problem of cloning... on Cloning of extinct Huia bird approved · · Score: 2

    ...and that is the rejects. As with any "artifical" process you will have defects along the way. Heck, even nature isn't pefect, but it's pretty close when it comes to reproduction. As of now, the success rate for cloning is very small, so you end up with all these geneticly fuct animals. Now, it's nice we have the chance to reverse a stupid mistake of ours, but what do we do when New Zealand Huia bird population is 80% retarded?

    hrm...looks like we are getting closer to making jurassic park a reality. yikes!

  18. Similar Scripts Available on Boston Perl Monger Plays With the Big Leagues · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of any similar scripts that one may use for voting on MTV's Total Request live. I believe that it is our god-given duty to dislodge crap pop bands such as Backstreet boys and 98 degree's from #1? If there are any perl hackers out there willing to help e-mail me, and we'll get something going...

  19. C'mon! on BeDope clarifies iToaster issue · · Score: 1

    there's GOTTA be a way that this thing can be programmed to make some kick-ass toast. after all it does use the _ideas_ of linux.

  20. silly aol. on AOL accused of domain name hijacking · · Score: 1

    I don't see why this is such a problem, AOL should be able to come up with something more original than "AOLSEARCH" don't they still have webcrawler anyway...who knows

    I guess nobody will be happy until IPv6 is widely available and network solutions looses their monopoly on domain registration.

  21. confused. on $199 Internet Linux Box · · Score: 1

    I was confused at first, because I thought this thing really was a toaster, and that the age old joke of having Linux on your toaster had come true, as I read on however, I found out I was udderly wrong...

    What a silly name!

  22. Re:If I were a gansta rapper.... on DSL modem standard gets final approval from ITU · · Score: 1

    yea, and Bell Atlantic would give you a really crappy record deal.

  23. Simple. on Feature:GPL vs BSD · · Score: 1

    This article is nice, but a little TOO simple. I wish it would go into a bit more detail as this is something I am very interested in, but don't know too much about.

  24. Please keep Babelfish! on Compaq Trying to Sell AltaVista? · · Score: 1

    I hope they keep the AV translations, or I'll start failing my Spanish class.

  25. Sigh. on Compaq Trying to Sell AltaVista? · · Score: 1

    Altavista used to be my favorite search engine...seems like after Compaq bought them out they really didn't keep up with the industry. oh well.
