    Hey, this might top that: Divorce papers. nawww - They both suck equally, I guess...

    My thoughtful son who bought a pair of tickets to ="http://csny.net/"> see Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young soon. I've never seen the four of them together - it should be a very cool experience.

  4. This is Par for the Course on FBI, Pentagon Talk to MS about XP Hole · · Score: 1
    I hate to be cynical especially at this time of year, but the Code Red variants got a good deal of press - at least I had to answer the same questions lots during the publicity for that.

    Also had to (and still do) endure shitloads of nuisance packets as a result - AT&T cable, dontcha know. Still, the majority of DEU's (defective end users) responsible for patching IIS or stopping the service didn't.

    My prediction is that this will gain more momentum as a hazard, but may subside sooner as a result of Evening News coverage and a higher profile in the AP - ie: the DEU's might get a clue this time ;-)

    Your mileage may vary...

  5. I See You've Done Your Homework on SonicBlue's Digital Audio Center · · Score: 1

    And you've also managed to Slashdot Amazon! (at least for the images)

    Just like the insurgance of Ritalin prescribed for children in Michigan, this is a psych's way of feeling more important? I mean, all of our kids are different, aren't they? Isn't that what makes them * special * ?
    Get over it.

    Given the sporadic appearance of some links seen in /. comments, I think the "G" stands for "Goat". Still trying to "crack" the "C"...

    Sorry, but I have to point out that MIDI uses 5-pin DIN connectors, not Cannon (aka: XLR).

  12. Re:Hindenburg was coated in flammable paint on The (Possible) Future of Alternative Energy · · Score: 1
    Sorry - the expression "exploded" was unintentional. I know that it was a fire that destroyed the dirigible.(sp)

    I was trying to make the point above that regarding Big Oil and others that will squelch alternate forms of energy, as well as how with any technology, we have to take precautions.

    thanks for your comment.

    Look at the Navy, they have tons of nuclear reactors on their ships. Have there been any indicents with them? Not that we know of, and it'd be hard to hide something like that.

    C'mon - who are you trying to snowball? The .gov can hide anything they want, and have been doing so forever. I have a first-born son in the Navy, and he (thankfully) is not on a nuke-ship. Even if he were, I don't have a death-watch kind of worry about him or the crew, but just the same, our .gov will never tell us what's really going on in the ranks, let alone in the broad overview of everything. They told us that from the gitgo in this *new* war, but nothing has really had to change for that. The only thing they need to *deny* is resultant of what Al-Jazeera is telling us, or whatever.

    Get a clue.

  16. Speaking about time....slashdot is OFF an hour on Slashback: Solidity, Sneakiness, Recovery · · Score: 1
    Why not fix the linux time that has been off an hour since the Daylight Savings change. HUH ? HUH ? rdate anyone? Set the time with our own Naval Observatory's Atomic Clock:(tick*or*tock.usno.usno.navy.mil)

    geez, I could do it in cmos easier than that, too. Too busy posting anti M$ stuff to get your own boxen correct? - it's one of the only problems I have with my various hosts for websites running linux - no bothering with the CORRECT time and date. My FTP client always bitches about the file I'm sending being older that the destination...no, it's you WRONG time. Get a clue, sysops!

  17. "The Formula" on The (Possible) Future of Alternative Energy · · Score: 1
    with George C. Scott and Marlon Brando...a 1980 movie described here was a interesting picture regarding what happens when someone advocates an alternative fuel. You think M$ has something *new* on big business, check it out...many good references for you conspiracy theorists out there. The oil companies have been at it long before OPEC, IMHO.

    That said, the hydrogen not only made the Hindenburg float, it was a big factor in why it exploded!

    Theories abound, but the simple fact is that with any great amount of this gas, there is still a safety factor to be considered.

    However, the same article discusses the actual things that burned, suggesting that hydrogen was *not* the culprit, only an accomplice. You decide.

    Even though our own farts (mentioned in other posts - not my idea) are explosive to a point (some more than others ;-), the containment of hydrogen gas is still a relatively unregulated concern. Easily argued, it is not as dangerous as some fossil fuels, it is still not easy to handle. What do we do? Embrace it - contain it - or wait and see what Big Bro sez to do?

  18. Re:URLSCAN on Fingerprinting Port 80 Attacks · · Score: 1
    I downloaded your suggested M$ tool, and as it was opened, it said "Stopping IIS (yada yada)" and then "Starting IIS (yada yada)", but I have IIS turned off (ever since the inception of Code Red v.1) because I don't need a web server here on my cable box, although I turn it on (on an alternate port) when I have a need to test something.

    Good news is, it didn't start IIS despite the fact it was disabled in my services applet.

    kewl. Thanks for the link - I'll dabble about with it when I have time.

    Where else to post? Posting a story is -2 points less than worthless. Taco and the group only rate M$ bashing as pertinent, and maybe some space related shit, while our population sits like ducks waiting for anthrax infection. Geez.

  22. Destroying My Karma Bit by Byte on Halloween Document Revisited · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    (NOT OFFTOPIC, NOT TROLL - YOUR LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER)

    The post I originally made is at this place. I've been on a rampage ever since....so look for what I've said, if you wish...the brain-dead moderators (save one who said "underrated +1") have been attacking me ever since. Serves them right if they ignore this and get anthrax^h^h^h^h^h^h^h (never mind). I did not mean that. Honestly.

    Your asinine moderators have been chipping away (and I don't really care) at my karma, because I can't shut up about...this situation:

    I just MetaModded...for the umpteenth time, and felt it was pertininent to report that some moderators are "brushing away" stories posted that *might* have a bearing on our well-being. Case in point: "Anthrax at NASA?" Two "offtopic" mods (which I voted unfair after seeing that it has been reported in Kansas - See This... [thekansascitychannel.com]

    The story *could* be a hoax (as are more than we like, even in the *accepted* stories lately, but WhoTF can tell, moreover, isn't almost every /. reader conditioned to this and ready to investigate and report it as such?

    The post in question was regarding postal facilities in Texas. Is that so far from KC, MO? *NO*.

    CNN is *not* reporting it, but if you can follow the link I provided, KC news *IS*.So is MSNBC... [msn.com]

    So, those of you *blessed* with mod privs, start thinking out of the same "rare" brain-vein that Taco did on 9/11 - "Stuff that matters" never rang truer! As a community, if we can raise awareness, then WHY NOT DO IT?

    If you are *not* a scaremonger, then thanks from me for reporting. I metamodded the knee-jerk moderators that put you down. See the results here.

    If you *are* a scaremonger, then shame on you, because I wasted karma to make a point on your behalf (/. tradition. I guess). I await your reply.

    BTW, the mods keep coming in - maybe they'll cancel each other out.....although I posted it into the two most recent threads....owell.
