  1. Re:Guess on Louisiana Man Pleads Guilty to Creating 911 Worm · · Score: 1

    I think it was actually due to the size of IP datagrams, if you do a google search for the "+++ATH0 exploit" you can find more information, I dont think that "+++ATDT5551212" would fit in a datagram.

  2. Re:Here is a combined Version on U.S. Army Guide to Code Breaking · · Score: 1

    Now I'm embarrassed. Sorry brandoncorbin, thanks AC.

  3. Re:Combine into one PDF on U.S. Army Guide to Code Breaking · · Score: 1

    It's too bad there isn't a pdfmerge, but this will have to do I guess. Thanks.

    Actually, this is lame, $11.18? Fool me once.

    brandoncorbin wins!

  6. Combine into one PDF on U.S. Army Guide to Code Breaking · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I find it very annoying that the file is broken up into seperate PDFs, is there a tool to combine several PDF files into one large file?

    Do you have the source for that quote? Google isn't helping much...

    I for one welcome our Automatic Slashdot Trolling Spambot overlords.

  9. Re:I would have to try it to know if I would like on Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you touch type, you already have memorized patterns for many words over 5 letters in length. Every word that I am typing is one that I have typed many times before. I never think of where the keys are anymore . I just... type the words.

    That is the beauty of SHARK. You'll eventually be able enter a word pattern, rather than focus on where the letters are.

  10. Use in a sidebar on Google-branded Firefox? · · Score: 1

    > http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.xul

    Visit that website, bookmark the link, go to "Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks", right-click on the Google XUL interface, check the box that says "open link in sidebar".

  11. Re:I dunno on VoIP And Cell Phones Eroding Traditional Telecoms · · Score: 1

    I would check your setup. I've been using a Vonage box in Africa over a satellite link. It has been over two months now. I have never had a problem with Vonage.

    The power company and upstream provider, well those are stories for another time.

  12. Re:What is REALLY on your card? on Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe · · Score: 1

    I can't say you represet the gullible public, I'd bet at least 5 people in a hundred would be curious cats.

  13. What is REALLY on your card? on Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I just got the idea of setting up a computer running Strip Snoop in a public place. Put a single board computer inside, a cheap LDC and card reader outside.

    It should be made to look offical and be housed in an hard-to-destroy case. It would be bolted down on the sidewalk in the middle of the night, near an ATM or in a shopping center.

    Have a big sign that says "what is REALLY on your magnetic cards?".

    If you are an art student you could pull off doing something like that and get credit for doing instalation art. :-)

  14. another_log.txt on Valve Interview Helps Reveal Details Of HL2 Code Theft · · Score: 5, Informative

    I couldn't get around the lameness filter, so there is a link for as long as the bandwidth holds out.

  15. Re:Clue on Intelligent Board Games and Social Interaction? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. You are more articulate than I am.

    Do you the source or algorithms online anywhere?

  16. Of Course on Intelligent Board Games and Social Interaction? · · Score: 1

    That only works for so long before people start to catch on.

    If memory serves, after shuffling the three sets of cards seperately and choosing the hidden cards, all the sets are shuffled into one big bunch. I remember many games with only one person or weapon. In that senario the other players will be pretty keen to know that you have Professor Plum.

  17. Clue on Intelligent Board Games and Social Interaction? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    My family enjoyed playing this game. Until my Dad (an embedded system engineer) figured out a strategy for winning really fast. He would basically keep track weather or not somebody could disprove a hypothesis (Mr Green, in the Library, with the Candlestick) After a while, when somebody says they can prove a hypothesis wrong, and you have marked that they do not have Mr Green or the Library, then you know they have the Candlestick.

  18. Fortune on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Without GBAs? · · Score: 1

    Every now and again, the fortune at the bottom of the page gives me the creeps. Right now is one of those cases: "
    Slowly and surely the unix crept up on the Nintendo user ..."

  23. RC Gastron on PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    Yes, April Fools Day.

    Funny thing about the RC Gastron is that I would actually buy this.

    Problem with something like this is that, at some point, you would have to eat something, I've passed out because I didn't eat anything in a 24 hour period. I start to get really tired, dizzy and disoriented after about 10 hours of not eating anything.

  24. Color TV and YIQ on Fifty Years of Color Television · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Color TV is quite a cool hack, when you think about it. The color encoding that they used, YIQ, allowed for backward compatibility with black and white television.

  25. Re:The Popup Killer spreads the Gospel on 4 Years Later, The Mozilla Tide Has Turned · · Score: 1

    Also, keep in mind that most of these pop-ups are caused by adware or spyware that hook into IE and circumvent many pop-up blockers.
