  1. Re:Last day here on Is Help Desk a Launchpad or a Dead End? · · Score: 1

    But the point is the same: help desk is a starting point for technically inclined and talented, but a dead end for those who's ambitions are not a more technical position.\

  2. I hope the linked site isn't running it on Ruby on Rails 2.0 is Done · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I am like the 10th comment and it is already slashdotted!

  3. Be a legacy on Getting in to a Top Tier College? · · Score: 1

    Statistically, this REALLY improves your chances.

  4. Too bad they don't read /. on Google Blurring Sensitive Map Information · · Score: 1
  5. Confluence on How Do You Handle Your Enterprise Documentation? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We use Confluence, a wiki from Atlassian. It also integrates well with Jira, their bug tracking program we also use. Both products are popular with some open source projects, the names of which elude me at the time.

  6. What about the MIT busting of MythBusters? on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1
    I want to know there reaction to MIT busting their busting of the "burning a ship with the sun" myth.

  7. Re:What does Regular Old Telephone Service on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Clearly, he is referring to ROUS, the Rodents of Unusual Size that live in the Fire Swamp.

  8. Am I different? Wasn't that bad. on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work for a major university that was blacklisted about a month and a half ago. People were marking messages sent by the university as spam. The messages weren't even sent to their AOL address, but their university address, where the user then forwarded all messages to their AOL account. I called the AOL postmasters at the number found here: http://postmaster.aol.com/contact/index.html and they told me they couldn't do anything immediately, but once the current complaints timed out, we would be added to their whitelist. It does seem to be a way to perform a DoS attack, because the guy I spoke to said that if they get enough spam reports for a specific domain, it is automatically blocked for a certain number of hours.

  9. Re:Just Curious on Kismet on Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you can find a free and clear access point. There is one available from a glass and window shop in Marathon, FL, near mile marker 51.

    That's why.

  10. Re:At King of Prussia this weekend... on Junkyard Wars Tour · · Score: 1

    There is a reason its called a JUNKyard and not a WORKING-BUT-RUNDOWNyard. If I could find all that cool stuff at a real JUNKyard, I would have my own show: Tag Sale Wars, and all the /.ers would show up and make me a millionaire!

  11. Re:USB Switches? on Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Switches · · Score: 1

    BlackBox offers one that is USB. I don't know if it is shipping yet, and it isn't listed under the KVM section of their site, but it is in their faxback archive, here.
