  1. obviously, you can spam to preserve it. on New Opt-Out Clause Makes CAN-SPAM Worse · · Score: 1

    and make it easier to transport, for a wider audience.

    two more changes, and they can change the name of the bill as well, to "MUST spam."

  2. ey, you need insurance? on Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center · · Score: 1

    Vinnie and Rocco, here, they do a good job for the others in the neighborhood. shame to have anybody run any of them viruses or whatever on ya. we can work somethin' out.

  3. no, there is no right to broadband on Parent-Friendly Wireless Bridge To Span 500 Meters? · · Score: 1

    it is NOT a required service.

    some jurisdictions want to make it so.

    they are lobbied to the point of death by corporations that don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to service one guy and two woodchucks out in East Noplace.

    get two wireless routers and two external antennas, problem solved. pay your buddy's broadband bill.

  4. DoD has enough computers. on Air Force Aims for Control of 'Any and All' Computers · · Score: 1

    they can hink around with their own machines as much as they want. no problem. if East Botulism starts a cyberwar, put 'em all on the Internet and take the weasels out.

    they're no better than Sony Music if they want to sneak into ---> MY! --- computer.

    got that? it's not yours until you buy it from me. at my price.

  5. that's ROBERT Morris worm, son. on Malware vs. Anti-Malware, 20 Years Into The Fray · · Score: 1

    the "William Morris worm" sends you scripts, tries hard to get you to take a meeting, then charges 15%.

  6. so, does China LIKE being world-stage-center now? on EV71 Outbreak In China Sparks Fears For Olympics · · Score: 1

    welcome, media and honored guests! see what China is like in these here modern times!

    well, yah, sure, we'll see for ourselves, then how you've grown.

  7. please, Lord, make it stop! on Darl McBride Takes the Stand In Novell v. SCO · · Score: 1

    can't you just strike them down and put an end to our misery?

  8. they'll pull a Nacchio.. claim spies and lies. on SCO v. Novell Goes to Trial Today In Utah · · Score: 1

    "oh, gee, your Honor, but we can't possibly tell you how important this is, because the details are covered in national security directives. you'll just have to trust us."

    at which point the judge should pull out a gun and shoot 'em.

  9. Satan. he's an intern. but he might not work out on Who Runs RIAA's Settlement Information Center? · · Score: 1

    just not nasty enough for the RIAA.

  10. Screws For Sure (tm) on MSN Music DRM Servers Going Dark In September · · Score: 1

    that's Microsoft.

  11. since genuine Cisco boards are made in China ... on FBI Concerned About Implications of Counterfeit Cisco Gear · · Score: 1

    by the same bunch of contractors-for-hire that make most of the rest of the international carrier supplier equipment, does it surprise anybody that there are counterfeits from China that get into supply chains?

    would have been harder to do if these companies made their own stuff, as they used to.

  12. expected RIAA response: on Mediasentry Violates Cease & Desist Order · · Score: 1

    "hey Vinny, just off 'em. dis "court" ting ain't for us."

  13. since MS has bought several virtualization outfits on How Microsoft Plans To Get Its Groove Back With Win7 · · Score: 1

    you would think the idea would be in their heads.

    either that, or their ultimate goal is to make it impossible to do anything Windows(tm) without their getting a cut off the top.

    either way, folks, I'd short the stock over about two years.

  14. the hard part is decrypting the BSODs on Windows Forensic Analysis · · Score: 1

    every BSOD tells a story. this is because Windows is connected to the Underworld. the diabolic and maddening part is a BSOD on Manson's computer, for instance, may reveal the details of one of Henry VIIIs death orders, or one of Saddam's.

  15. what makes 'em possible? half-bit encoding. on Micro-Projectors May Bring YouTube On-The-Go · · Score: 1

    no other way to get all those half-bit movies that are being released into that small amount of memory, except using half-bit encoding.

    only problem is, the tiny projectors play 'em half-fast.

  16. nothing new here, check out Leo Szilard on The Rush To Patent the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    who patented chain-reaction in England and assigned the patent to the Admiralty as World War II was getting underway.

    yes, the nuclear chain-reaction is patented.

  17. a dream come true for SCO on SCO's "Least Supported Idea Yet" · · Score: 1

    yes, they had a nightmare using these exact same words.

    Sue!

    Sue!!

    Sue!!!

  18. Re:Get The Lead Out on Columbia Holds Wake For Historic Cyclotron · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the ROOM may be, but the CYCLOTRON wouldn't be.

    assuming you get the beam focussed after filament replacement, etc, the only danger to anything except credit cards, people standing between loose steel and the moosey magnet, etc. is behind the target window in the chamber casting.

    and they probably had an old cardboard sign, faded, near that point.

    this is why stuff like this is built underground with no easy access. Mother Earth is your shield, suffering those protons and (later) neutrons for you.

  19. random number generator based on pi on How To Use a Terabyte of RAM · · Score: 1

    you could use it, for instance, to seed the storage of cookies in real memory...

  20. section 3.4 basically says "testpoints here" on Wikileaks Publishes FBI VoIP Surveillance Docs · · Score: 1

    no surprises. you want a capture/decode device at the trunk, you want to see the management system real-time, and you want the billing setup records real-time. that covers the waterfront. listen in off your PC from the sniffer. three windows open on the screen.

    that's the modern equivalent of a hybrid coil, a capacitor, and a 600-ohm headphone on clip leads.

    the important thing is to convince a judge who is knowledgeable in the law that there is a criminal act in progress with other evidence, so you can get a court order to gather evidence.

    otherwise YOU are the criminal, and the other guy is making a phone call which won't ever get considered in court.

  21. it's mostly in "The Making of the Atom Bomb." on Wikileaks Releases Early Atomic Bomb Diagram · · Score: 2, Informative

    except for the gallium percentage. Richard Rhodes won a Pulitzer prize for this. the documents were mostly declassified years ago, like 20 and 30 years ago for most of them, in the US. get a copy of the book, some good college physics books, multi-axis milling machines, good glove-box technology, and it's doable. the hard part is the fissile material, but with the number of rogue wacko nations joining the "atomic club," any irresponsible yutz can get a good piece of it done.

    for that matter, any irresponsible yutz could be transmuting their own fuel in the backyard. see "The Radioactive Boy Scout" to see how easy. in the 60s, putting out Golden Books and PR pamphlets to get kids interested in nuclear careers had enough data in them to get you thoroughly dead ten different ways trying to bootleg your own sources at home.

    It's basic science, and anybody who wants to seek can find.

  22. Dude, gotta go buy some water on Drugs In Our Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    like, I get mine in liters. kewl.

  23. get two more creditors and press for chapter 7 on Creditor Objects To SCO's Plans · · Score: 5, Interesting

    that's when it will end.

  24. heckuva job, NASA. but you did that with Mars. on NASA Plans to Smash Spacecraft into the Moon · · Score: 1

    oops, I'm sorry, they didn't mean to.

    my bad.

  25. darkroom skills on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    no, you cad, I mean working with film, not the opposite half. spooling development tanks, or pushing a tape measure through the tanks of a continuous processor to rethread it when a stapled splice breaks. dodging an image to lighten an area when making prints. it's all going fast... totally gone in production, going fast in art photography.
