  1. Re:Someone explain? on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why do I get the feeling that if somebody said "Anybody who hates the GPL/BSD/etc License, is just wrong! You should like it!" would get hailed as the most insightful comment ever? Yet more of the \. double-standard.

    I'll admit I had to look this one up, if ya woulda said POTS, I would of known right off the bat.

    That's what I'm saying, how is this news? Isn't this common sense?

  4. Really . . . on Build A Darknet To Capture Naughty Traffic · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These are 'dark' because there is, seemingly, nothing within these networks. Any packet that enters a Darknet is by its presence Aberrant.

    That's like the mailman trying to deliver letters to Santa Claus, or somebody addressing a letter wrong, thank good I know all those letters are Abberant now.

    You know that light says "Check Engine" not "Loose Gas Cap". I'm pretty sure she's not psychic, so how could she know it was the gas cap that was at fault?

    I agree 12 times is a bit much, but there could of been something seriously wrong with the vehicle.

    Hellifiknow, I guess you can only make fun of American and how shittly it's ran, and not Europe. Just proving Slashdot is a Leftist site.

  13. Re:I did RTFA on Transmeta To Add 'NX' Antivirus Feature To Chips · · Score: 1

    Like the name says, set's some memory/registers/ireallyhavenoclue to No Execute. What this does is not allow anything within to be execute, so even if somebody did a buffer overflow exploit, the shellcode/commands to run/etc couldn't get executed.

    But then again, I know absolutely nothing so I may be completely wrong.

  16. Re:Because I'm too lazy to look it up... on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the story (no reg link):

    The measuring instrument, a radiometer, is simple, a black plate under a glass dome. Like asphalt in summer, the black plate turns hot as it absorbs the sun's energy. Its temperature tells the amount of sunlight that has shone on it.

    Since the 50's, hundreds of radiometers have been installed from the Arctic to Antarctica, dutifully recording sunshine. In the mid-80's, Dr. Atsumu Ohmura of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich sifted through the data to compare levels in different regions. "Suddenly," Dr. Ohmura said, "I realized it's not easy to do that, because the radiation was changing over time."

    There's an easy way to get the no-reg archive link so why link to a podunk newspaper when it's totally unnecessary?

    If it's like a typical Data Matrix 2D Barcode it can hold up to 500 characters.

  20. CueCat on Semacode - Hyperlinks For The Real World · · Score: 1

    As many people have pointed out, this is basically a new version of the :CueCat. Only difference I see instead of 'standard' barcodes (Code 39/EAN/UPC) it uses a Data Matrix style. Maybe bundling it with a cell phone might mean it could actually take off this time.
