    I read the word PIMP there .. so cool, so scary..

  2. Re:Hmmmm on Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    With the number of updates Microsoft is churning out, it does make sense for them to embrace a BitTorrent like distribution system.

    But why would you want to seed? :-)

    If people really want to get data out, they will. If there is money to be made doing this, somebody will try.

    Maybe they will make a deal with the UPS guy to 'loose' the unencrypted backup tape .. oh, wait, been done.. :-)

  4. Re:one word for you on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    if one of your employees want's to steal credit card numbers, there are a 1000 ways they could do it.

    - are mp3 players banned on site?
    - are all usb ports blocked?
    - are all cd-burners inactive?
    - are all diskdrives inactive?
    - are all printouts monitored?
    - are all mobile phone memories locked?
    - are all brains scanned on exit (remembering 16 numbers each day would be achievable)?

    - are the employees trusted?

    It all boils down to that, doesn't it? Knowing that if you do something that you know you shouldn't, you better well make damn sure that you can enjoy the benefits from the street the rest of your natural born life. So don't!

  5. Re:two words on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    for some strange reason, ssh is not allowed out of the company firewall here.. and tunneling via http, https or socks isn't possible either (I've checked)

    The easy way is https://gmail.com/ which will protect against the local bastard operator.

    The geeky way is to simply https to the webmail you've got running on your own box at home, but I've never gotten around to set that up... mainly because that box doesn't act as a mailserver anyway.. (argh, I am not 1337)

    Basically, there is no excuse for mixing private and company mail.

    Personally, I would go for 3 of these Dell1905's and avoid the hazzle of looking into the seam between the screens all the time, but that's just me..

  10. Re:BitTorrent already fairly strong on Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Once my client is closed, then bye bye.

    And after that, you change the MAC address on your router and request a new IP from your ISP.

    For total fragmentation of data (that RIAA/MPAA can collect) you close your client before you finished downloading, do the new-ip-trick, and restart your client.

    rinse and repeat.

    conveniently you can blame the system or agree that there is an obesity epedemic. And you can have 5 minutes more in bed! What a secure investment! ;-)

  13. Re:What about the responsibility of the schools? on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    ..the school's cafeteria has to serve burgers and fries because the budget has been used on a monitoring system, that let the parents observe what their kids eat ..

    oh, the irony!

    I agree with you; making food for kids should not be a business..

  14. Re:Breakfast .. on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    and would like to add that setting the lunch-gestapo on a generation is an affront to human dignity.

    I agree with you on this one though it seems that when you can check your kids via the internet it's ok to do so... to quote an old book: "The Internet is cool, but not that cool"..

    About breakfast .. different strokes for different folks and I grew up with a good meal in the morning as opposed to a heavy meal just before bedtime. It works for me and it will work for my kids .. Who will probably be teased in school for being skiny. :-)

  15. Re:So much data... on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    finally a business plan on /. that might actually sell!

    Think about it! There is a woried parent born every minute! A woried parent with disposable income!

    You could even make a RPG style HUD for parent desktop computers, so multiple children can be monitored at the same time! For an extra fee you could even throw in partner monitoring.

    I have lint in my belly button.

    But then again, I am not practicing Lent or Ramadan or any other religiously sancioned time of abstinence ;-)

    Making sure that the kids participate? Take away their lunch money at home would ensure that!

    Coke is ok, but juice is not?

  18. Breakfast .. on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    .. just make sure that your kids get a good solid breakfast at home. Then it woun't matter much, what they eat at lunch. Especially if they are fed another sustaning meal _at home_ later in the day as well.. Alternatively, have them bring fruit and water for lunch.

    It's not an epedemic, it's not a signess, it's not genetic, it's not something you can catch... it's what you eat!
