Does anyone else feel naked and petrified that any user can view all the posts you ever submitted to slashdot?
Not that I have submitted that many:)
Also another offtopic question. Is the karma limit 12 if someone never posts to slasdhot? I'd been lurking for many years and one day I realized I had karma without ever posting! Just wondering if 12 was a coincidence or not.
Benn there ... done that

Meteor Showers
·
· Score: 5, Informative
I was out watching the shower with a couple of friends and we did have a nice display.
I don't know when exatly the peak was but we only had a chance before the moon rise (from ten till around midnight local time) and we were not disapointed. frenquency was about a star every couple of minutes, including about 15 with high magnitude and long trails:)
A couple of tips for the first timers.
- Get away from the city lights (and pullotion) as much as possible.
- Have a good field of view because they will be all over the sky not just in the vicinity of perseus
- Do NOT concentrate at the spot where they will come from (Perseus) rather about 40 degrees away, as odd as this may seem, the shooting stars around perseus won't leave a long trail (they will be coming towards you ) and you won't be seing much of them.
PS the geeks that we are had to take a laptop to the middle of nowhere with Starry Night on it , as if the real sky was just not enough;)
I think it is about time to write the exploit that will take all those vulnerable IIS servers with a open command shell and remotely patch them once and for all:-)
At least to get it over with this Code Red thingy!
On a completely other note! I was thinking it would be nice if the worm copied random text strings (from the victim's hard drive) instead of the XXXXXXXXX in order to overrun the buffer:) Then it would be really interesting to read those log files!
I work for a mobile operator Cellis in Lebanon (as in Middle East) and we launched GPRS a few months ago for 22$ FLAT! + 6$ if you want to get the unified mail box.
I am so surprised that in the US where bandwidth is so much cheaper the prices are so high!
Phone calls are rather expensive though, but that's a whole different issue...
Oh and the ericsson GPRS phone rules over the motorola timeport. (except for the sucky look)

In fact that you can already do:)
There is a plugin for winamp (calld winamp remote i think) that allows you to turn up the volume of your PC over TCP/IP (as well as changing tracks...).
Rather handy for messing with your colleague's minds:)

Q I thought this was something to do with ORL? What's the Olivetti/Oracle link here?
A In January 1999, AT&T acquired ORL, the Olivetti Research Laboratory founded 12 years earlier, and recently jointly funded by Oracle, to create AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.

Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Who ever wrote this article is just plain silly!
Since Slash 2.2 supports journals I don't see why they didn't use that instead!
... ok wait ...

euh
bad bad taste

If you had read H2G2 you would have known the real message from GOD is :
WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
;-)
function nthDigitOfPi(long n) {
:)
return rnd(10);
}
I am curious what language this would be?
In any case
print nthDigitOfPi(1);
oh ow
