  1. Re:How British... on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 1

    I think that a combo of Gregory House (md) ,a pallet of Pain pills , The BOFH (with PFY) and a pallet of shotgun shells would be able to fix this up quickly (or at least control the damage by removing the ones doing the damage)

  2. A Big problem with this on Copyright Protection Problems For OSS Project · · Score: 1

    would they like The Nazgul The MoFos or The ShadowMan to explain this to them

    This would be of course The International Business Machine legal team the Novell legal team and just for fun The Redhat legal team (not to mention that The FSF legal team would get perky over this).
    The Parralel Universe that TSCOG is in seems SANE compared to the one that these clowns are in.

  3. Re:Before I brought PC's to the 3rd world on AMD Cuts Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 1

    what could maybe work is if you had a set of iso containers that would make a Wireless/Satcom station
    ie
    1 Sun BlackBox datacenter
    2 power water box
    3 Satcom/wireless box (internet Hut?)
    heck the waste water may turn out to be more or less potable

    (side note the RS Geodes were best used as paperweights)

  4. Re:Publish your email address. on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    speaking of such things if i wanted to sprinkle a few "trap addresses" inside my website what are a few good ones (bonus points if they are government run or "familiy" addresses)

  5. Re:There is an easier way.. on Nanorust Used To Purify Water · · Score: 1

    im sure you are just baiting folks but what happens if that "pure water source is a 4 day walk in 100+ heat?

    answer you will be a rotting corpse a daya away from the water

  6. Re:They can only take soo much on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    okay hows about this choke begins ----> you get a string of breaths (and happen to also say "i can't breath!!)-----choke continues repeat cycle as needed (or until you black out )
    a choke is not absolute (think D&D saving throw during each turn V Dex/Con of the person choking you) so unless you get a terminator grade crushed windpipe you might be able to get a few last words out (and if you do get a crushed windpipe its TOD/COD)

  7. Re:not in Massachusetts on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    lets just end the discussion on PC with the joke http://www.jamesfuqua.com/lawyers/jokes/longer.sht ml#desert

  8. Re:You Cleaned it Up? on Worst Security Clean-Up You've Performed? · · Score: 1

    umm if you are in a class 3 hazmat zone why didn't you just yank the drive and clean from a secure host?

  9. Forklift or Plug and play? on How Do You Make a Profit While Using Open Source? · · Score: 1

    one thing that you can pin this on is WHY YOUR COMPANY?

    If you offer a solution that somebody can take a pair of pliers/screw driver and pull your competiters module and just drop yours in
    it doesn't matter that you have the source out there.

    Downtime costs money what your customer doesn't spend/lose can be spent on your products

  10. Re:What is wrong with Captchas? on How to Prevent Form Spam Without Captchas · · Score: 1

    but that excludes the fun of Sharp Force Trama or Burn trama why limit yourself??

  11. Re:Labels' Attitude and Understanding on Music Labels Screwed, DRM Is Dead · · Score: 1

    how about a friend that wants to stay employed?

    His friend can't say anything that is not sanctioned by Sony (given that he did a trip to france on vacation hes management of some sort so SOx applies)

  12. Re:Bah. The Salem Times did this YEARS ago. on Mainstream Media To Start "Crowdsourcing" · · Score: 1

    a better example of this kind of thing is Groklaw (Note please don't visit Lindon Utah while wearing a groklaw shirt or hat or button or...)
    PJ always holds folks to having sources (links mostly) and she has a stable full of folks that will stop by the courthouse to pickup a filing or watch a hearing or...

    So SlashFolks what is worse for a company to be on slashdot or on groklaw?

  13. Re:no no, you have it all wrong on A Security Guide For Non-Technical Users? · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem is some version of

    1 evel haquer drops a copy of apache on the computer
    2 said haquer then publishes (your states) finest collection of oh Pedo Porn using YOUR PARENTS COMPUTER
    3 the bust goes down
    4 guess who get to serve TIME

    or lets say just to make things worse the site serves the data for a real live terrorist website (replace TIME with trip to gitmo)

  14. Re:Thanks Diebold! on Diebold Demands That HBO Cancel Documentary · · Score: 1

    it wouldn't stop Frank Parker or "the Doctor"

  15. Re:Open Voting System on Diebold Demands That HBO Cancel Documentary · · Score: 1

    the biggest trick with e-vote systems is you can have some sort of flag vote that can do easter eggs like say adding every soldier in Arlington to #your candidates totals
    if the vote is DDRRRINYYNNNN (i mean those great and honorable soldiers shouldn't be denied the vote just because they gave their last full measure should they?)

    view the source do the trace and maybe you will find the egg

  16. Re:One job, one tool on Blake Ross Working on Parakey Web OS · · Score: 1

    that would be Brian W Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (this pair did a book isbn 0131103628)
    it would be stupid to have a case where
    1 the code in question is C
    2 one of the platforms is UNIX
    3 and he says you have no case
    but then they do get into fun stuff in utah

  17. Re:Linux needs to get its act together on Krita 1.6 — State of the Art · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    umm at this point you can just use the normal package manager (deb,rpm,e-build ect) and have everything pulled in automatically

    1 2.2 series kernel ARE YOU NUCKING FUTS anybody running a 2.2 kernel and not using an embedded kernel is NUTS
    2 GL drivers (should have been taken care of by the core install)
    3 Why are you using x11 and not x.org?
    4 the line switch should have been done by the driver install
    5 use the native package
    6 sound problems are 95% error code ID:10T (whos error code is a coin toss)

    I propose a MOD KOS for this and any future postings of this SCOde pasting

  18. Re:Shouldn't be too difficult.. on Bomb Explodes At PayPal Headquarters · · Score: 1

    and i would bet that

    1 getting the plate to resonate at its natural frequency (think glass + opera star)

    2 getting the force on the right vector (on edge)

    would reduce the force needed a great amount

  19. Re:Shouldn't be too difficult.. on Bomb Explodes At PayPal Headquarters · · Score: 1

    its missing part of the MAddress (no elevation)

    [note to Humour impaired TLA types this is a JOKE]

  20. Re:Candid Redorder on How To Sue the Auto Dialers · · Score: 1

    easy fix for this "issue"

    1 record more or less ALL of your calls
    2 break into the speal and state "for quality and lawsuit purposes this call may be monitored or recorded"
      (they may hang up at this point)
    3 set your recorder to emit a beep every minute or so (you can get a recorder that will do this at the likely places)
    4 profit!!

    Bonus points if you have the stones to stream your phone to your website ie
    "Judge : and do you have any evidence of these claims?
      You : here is an MP3 file and sworn statements from 24 different people that listened in via my website (note the police officer and the jesuit monk)"

  21. Re:Why don't I ever get these calls? on How To Sue the Auto Dialers · · Score: 1

    bad luck since you got hit by a wardialer (real old school one). depending on how many lines it had it called (#number of linesX0.5X15) in the time you had been hooked up (and you got called)

    9999 numbers in the block 30 second per call with 20 lines its only about 4 hours to sweep a combo of area code and exchange

    What will solve it is an "Honorable Family" getting Kim and his buddies in the same room and using a Katana on the whole lot of them.

    give it say 3 days and it should be availible from your better "third party channels"

  25. Re:You're thinking of Livejournal.. on MySpace Accounts Compromised By Phishers · · Score: 1

    besides if you really wanted to do this right you would have

    1 a real like paid domain ------- got that myself
    2 a real like paid hosting agreement ----- i use imagelinkusa.net myself
    3 some actual html skills (or some sanish tools)
    if you want to use some crawling horror like Myspace setup some sort of Zen profile and LINK YOUR DOMAIN

    (funny thing is mySpace is blocked by at least one company)
