  1. It's a sport on Google Juice · · Score: 2

    If you, and some of the other guys, get together with your girlfriends and have the girlfriends google whack. See who does it the fastest, with the best result. You can assign a point system and bet on the results! You can even form teams!

  2. What happens if you have to move a box? on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 2

    If, for example, you get new server boxes in and repurpose
    MR237BWEB01 so that it's running the printers in the executive suite? Renaming a box is a bitch.

  3. Check the RFC on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 5, Informative

    RFC 1178, Choosing a Name for Your Computer

  4. But on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 2

    If the Air Force is anything like the Army, it's the sergeants who keep things running.

  5. Farm equipment on The Widening Tech-Savvy Gap · · Score: 2

    The midwesterners grow up surrounded by tractors, combines, etc. They learn young how to fix that. And, hey, if they can fix a combine, how tough can a little bitty pc be?

  6. Earlier (Nov 2000) Slashdot story on Hurd on RMS Says Hurd Could Be Loosed in 2002 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Right Here.

  7. 60 days on Loki Aftermath Looks Bad · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think. Or maybe 30. Still. The company used his credit card? I think he might want to consider criminal theft charges against the principles. Or would it have been considered a loan?

  8. calm and reasonable on Perens Discredits Mundie's Attack On GPL · · Score: 3, Funny

    You expect a debate on MS FUD to stay calm and reasonable? On Slashdot?

  9. Well on Penguin2Apple · · Score: 1

    They are both Unix.

  10. Visual Basic on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 5, Funny

    Has all the features any Modern Programmer could want. And it has the Highly Secure .net framework built in. What more could you want?

  11. What, you hadn't noticed on LED Lights: Friend or Foe? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    All the discussion of the Coming of the Ads over the past week?

  12. OK on Open Source Intelligence · · Score: 2

    After reading several of your comments to this article, you need to write a (suitably sanitized) article for kuro5hin.

  13. Jargon term on Open Source Intelligence · · Score: 2

    "actors" are people that act upon, and interact with, things/people/whatever. You also have various "entities" which can be, but aren't necessarily, actors.

  14. Well on Open Source Intelligence · · Score: 3, Informative

    I know the Secret Service reads kuro5hin. They hauled one guy in for questioning after a post he made there.

  15. Meanwhile on Wireless Mania · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Supreme Court is going to review the decision allowing NextWave Telecom Inc. to hold on to its spectrum licenses that were thought protected in the bankruptcy proceedings. This could delay the use of that bandwidth for as long as two years.

  16. americium decay on Why Batteries Haven't Kept Up · · Score: 3, Informative

    No. Americium decay doesn't power the smoke detector, it's part of the detection circuitry. It provides neutrons that are used in a sort of single purpose mass spectrometer. The power is provided by batteries or the mains.

  17. all the marbles on Multihomed WLANs from Intel · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Personally, I don't want any of the marbles. Keep stepping on the damn things late at night.

  18. I bid on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 3, Funny

    A one week old Grilled American Cheese on White.

  19. Not Kur05hin! on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 3
    There's too many people there already... Please, no more k5 links from /.

    Well, not for a few months anyway.

  20. Yup on GPS Meets Agriculture for Precision Farming · · Score: 3, Informative

    At least since the late 80's. I used to read some surveyor/gps magazines (like GPS World) back then, my father is in the remote sensing field, and this sort of thing used to be reported on monthly. I remember one article where the farmer used DEM type maps, ArcView, a WADGPS system for accurate placement, and a Newton (remember those) for data collection.

  21. Yeah on Search Engine Payola · · Score: 2

    I saw this in the Post while eating breakfast and thought "Submit to slash? Nah, we all already know about it."

  22. Also on Security Engineering · · Score: 2

    "Database Nation" from O'Reilly

  23. Interstate Commerce Clause on Microsoft Seeks Dismissal with 9 Dissenting States · · Score: 2

    Since it's an interstate business, it can't be forced to treat those nine states differently.

  24. HFS on RIAA Almost Down To Pre-Napster Revenues · · Score: 2
    I swear that the music sounds the same as it did ten years ago

    I wish it sounded like it did 10 years ago. They used to have a reggae hour, lots of local bands, obscure European stuff. Sigh. Now they sound like DC101.

  25. Bach on RIAA Almost Down To Pre-Napster Revenues · · Score: 2

    Until you've sat in the front row of the Kennedy Center and heard the Bach organ concertos on that monster organ, you haven't lived.
