  1. Re:Of course not... on Brightest Moon Fallacy · · Score: 1

    At long last! Someone has seen the conspiracy of geo-national physics
    that I saw years ago but I was too intimidated by the man to speak up
    .

    Now, onward unto my chillodynamics research with antiheat.

  2. Re:But What About... on Brightest Moon Fallacy · · Score: 0

    "Don't forget, one of the manned moon missions left a mirror up there, on the light side."
    One of the most annoying misunderstandings about the moon, is that there is a "light" side and a "dark" side!
    No, you flaming idiot, there is a near side (the side facing earth) and a far side (the side not facing earth)and BOTH sides receive sunlight you MORON! Some small areas at the poles recieve no light, but when the moon is "dark" as seen from earth (no sense wasting technical terms here) the other side is illuminated by the sun you retard!!!!

  3. The web was invented by retards! on License to Surf · · Score: 1

    When the hell was a driver ever prevented from driving because they did not posess a license?

    How is licensing of web users going to prevent unlicensed users from using the net the same way unlicensed drivers drive every day, even in cars that the owner's don't know they are driving?

    Utter nonsense! This is pure rubbish!

  4. Cover on Linux on a Magazine Cover? · · Score: 1

    I saw a great picture of a cute chick, wearing ladies briefs, standing in front of a Cray. The panties said Linux on the band.

    You could have the code of the teardrop hack "tattooed" on her tight little body.

  5. Do you work for MTV? on Yet Another Article on Hacking · · Score: 1

    When the hell was 411 an NPA?

    Emmanuel is around my age and 411 or 1411 has been the USA number for INFORMATION ever since it was broken out from general "0" operator service, at least as far as I remember.

    Blacklisted 411 is another mag, if that is what you have scrambled in your ill-informed little head. In the case of Blacklisted, the 411 means INFORMATION and they do not mess much with computer hacking, they publish physical hacks (though most of it is pretty ancient, still entertaining to read).

  6. My G-D, this is ANCIENT!!! on Yet Another Article on Hacking · · Score: 1

    This article has been around since at least the beginning of the year. Emmanuel even refrenced it during a "hacker/cracker" discussion on the june4 mailing list (prep for the Free Kevin demonstrations on June 4th around the world).

  7. Learn what restrictions on "free speech" are first on Campaign Finance Meets the Web · · Score: 1

    Having to fill out a form or report to ANY governmenmtal body for ANY political speech IS a restriction on free speech in and of itself.

    The FEC can blow me.

  8. FEC Fax Line on Campaign Finance Meets the Web · · Score: 1

    Perhaps we should collectively let the FEC know what our community thinks of their decision.

    A fax number for them is (202-501-3413), other numbers are listed here: http://www.fec.gov/1996/offices.htm#anchor560369

    BTW, if the story popps up on www.wired.com you can fax it from your web browser.

    Hummmm, I wounder how many times the auto-fax thingie tries to call a non-fax number before giving up?

  9. Do not think this is isolated! on Campaign Finance Meets the Web · · Score: 1

    Check out this article about the George W. Bush campaign sending the FEC after someone:

    Does the FEC also count the value of a car that is attached to a political bumpersticker?

    Lucky for me that my website runs Redhat, Apache on a free machine on a free net connection!

  10. Many college instructors try to be 'bots anyway on Both Students and Teachers Use Technology to Cheat · · Score: 1

    I had no shortage of highschool and college teachers that were very robotic, but missed the mark, i.e., a 'bot would have been an improvement.

    Also, several teachers that I have known outside of the classroom would not assign anything that "takes too long to grade".

    Even with these bad experiences, I believe that grading 'bots for creative work are a very bad idea.

    And on that little amount we have the most extensive space exploration program ever done by any nation.

  12. Imperial system should have been used exclusively on Mars Orbiter Lost Over Metric Conversion Error · · Score: 1

    The USA is the only country that really explores space, or does anything worthwhile for this planet. Example: Linus lives here now because he knows that the USA is the only place that counts.

    World, enjoy your metric system before we take it away and beat you senseless with it.

    If we had not let foreigners play with our spacecraft, they would not have been able to mess it up. Quit your whining, you people would not be near space if it were not for the USA space program and our crushing of the Soviet Union, forcing them to rent time to third rate euro trash just to make ends meet.

    Yes I am serious.

  13. Swiss banks being truly secret? on Swiss Bank Goes Online · · Score: 1

    This has been a total myth for ages. The equivelant of the "Good Times" virus for banking.

    Swiss authorities have always cooperated with US investigators, you might as well "hide" your money in a US bank, since they roll over almost as easy, but everybody knows it.

  14. Read the Affidavit on Patrick Naughton Arrested · · Score: 1

    Affidavit here. IF what the FBI says is true, looks like they did it correctly. No telling if this actually happened in the manner stated by the SA without full transcripts and traffic logs.

  15. UGH! Finally go my "free" e-mail canceled on Network Solutions E-Mail Security Alert · · Score: 1

    Saw this on slashdot and immediately got on the phone to NSI.

    I spent 3 hours getting the runaround and being disconected with these idiots today. Was so frustrated that I went to the office in person (Herndon VA is near where I live)and asked at the desk (third floor of a pretty nice building) about the problem.

    The people at the front desk don't know anything about the 'net, but offered to let me sit on hold on their phone for lord knows how long, waiting for CS.

    Went home, checked mail, and yes I had a copy of the dreaded e-mail Spent another hour+ getting bounced aound, then finally got the offending account removed.

    BTW, the nice chick on the phone (only nice one was the one that helped me, the last one) assured me that nobody has used these accounts yet. She was supposed to have mailed a cancellation verification to me, but it has not shown up yet.

  17. Let's see here... on Chad Davis May Be the Next Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 2

    Is Chad going to be placed in solitary confinement until he "voluntarily waives" his rights to preliminary hearings, like Kevin?

    Is Chad going to be charged in the farthest point away from WI, in the continental US, like Bill Cheek?

    Is Chad going to have to rot in a "pre-trial" facility for 4.25 years until he "voluntairly pleads" to some of the charges?

    Have the Feds created $multimillion in damages yet?

    Yea, screwing with a web site should be punished, at about the same level as littering. NOT to the same level as murder.

  24. This is supposed to be *new* ? on Rugged Laptops · · Score: 5

    Excellent comparison, read on.

    This time 4 years ago I was working on a US Army vehicle maintenance project, using the Panasonic CF-44.

    All hardware was off-the-shelf. The idea to use the CF-44 was from their use by geologists and in the oil industry (BP was already using them, as I recall).

    The model we used was an i486-66, 8meg(?) RAM, forgot HDD size, 2 PC slots, hot-swappable battery/floppy bay, plus a 2x CD tucked under the flip up keyboard. Had a kewell trackball pointer and a titanium top (the bottom of case was plastic).

    These machines were issued to mechanics in Army motorpools, along with barand new "electronic technical manuals", i.e., maintenance manuals on CD. The computer was the vehicle to bring the new manual format into the motorpool.

    The first major indication that we had picked the correct hardware was... a mechanic knocked a running Panasonic off the hood of a HUMMWV and it lived, no damage.

    However, they were not Officer proof. Later a Lt. dropped a power supply into a lake, he had to buy a new one.
