  1. Re:What a silly article. on Replacing SMTP? · · Score: 1

    You could always just exploit their version of sendmail or Exchange if they dont want to upgrade. Its done weekly as it is, might as well put it to use.

  2. Re:Why not Triple DES or AES? on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    According to the eNOVA website the X-Wall ASIC Impliments a "performance optimized DES/TDES". It looks interesting, I hope that key length is long enough tho...

  3. Re:Increased interest... on Warp Pipe Project - GameCube Online · · Score: 1

    Dude how can you forget Super Monkey Ball?!

  4. Re:Missing features still... on OpenOffice 1.1 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Cross Office will run it on linux, though the speed is that of OO, esp with that D*** CLIP!!!

  5. Re:Adobe afraid of competition? on Adobe Drops Mac Support For Premiere · · Score: 1
    Imagine how many people would buy a cheaper Photoshop because they like to toy around with digital photos/artwork. Elements doesn't cut it. If Photoshop were as cheap as GTA3, they'd make a killing.
    Would they really? I thought they made a killing on PS now, and that Elements was your GTA3 quality and pricing!?! Oh well maybe my crack isnt as good as yours, so share buddy!!
  6. Re:Haha! on MSN Planning to Take on Google? · · Score: 3, Funny
    They could just be mean and set $WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to contain:
    207.68.172.234 www.google.com
    etc:
    or something evil like that...

    How easy would that be to include in their next IE security patch? =P

  10. Re:It's been done before... on Microsoft Patents Interactive Entertainment · · Score: 1

    IANAL but if you submit an idea that is originally yours don't you have like the time period of a year to claim it and file a patent on it or something before its released to the public domain?

  11. Now Whats wrong Barbra? on Barbra Streisand, Miss Vermont, And Your Website · · Score: 1

    Umm.. so looking at the photo of her house... Is she affraid someone will count how many chimmneys she has? Really, its a georgous shot, but of all things she should be happy that someone is taking nice pictures of the coast line, its not as if you can make out any real details besides that her pool doesnt looks as clean as the ocean below it? Oy.. maybe she should sue the USGS for taking high resolution satalite photos and Micro$oft for allowing meer mortals to view them.

  12. The FSW Life Cycle on Misterhouse - a Home Driven by Perl Scripts · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Start a project
    2. Succeed in making a good project
    3. Get noticed by /.
    4. Loose your bandwith allocation for the next year
    5. Go under because the bandwith nazi creditors are after your free project.

    Looks like they are midway between 3 and 4... huummm =P

  13. Re:Cool on 2.5.65 On 32-way NUMA-Q with Preempt Enabled · · Score: 1

    What I see this as is good news for SGI. If the std kernel tree can support NUMA @ there spec level, it gives them one more reason to have to dump more time and $ into development and allows them to spend more elsewhere. Esp since they would like to move away from IRIX in the long run.

  14. Sad? on Germany Places Command & Conquer on Restricted List · · Score: 0, Troll

    Eh, Germany is just sad that with the latest C&C they arent part of it, this wouldnt have happened if they'd been given a role like before. They coulda been the elite drunken guy that run screaming from the burning buildings of the GLA.

  15. DNA Documentation? on Using Bacterial DNA For Data Storage · · Score: 1

    So does that mean that since the cells die if the extra DNA is removed (If I remember?) That if our Documentation or Comment Block of our Source Code is removed we die? So we are like some GNU GPL License'd humans, except our own code checks for its source? heheh... RMS ownz us now =P

    Stand Back My DNA is GPL'd!

  16. Re:closer look at the TCP teardown procedure on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    So does that make M$ IE like your buddy who trys to walk into your house and raid the refrig and leave without telling you he ever visited?

  17. Portland Group Compiler.... on Linux Number Crunching: Languages and Tools · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know it costs a little money, but i would be very intrested to see the PGI compiler set tested up there as well.. I've seen on alot of CFD code have 10x speedups over g77 with pgf77. I do know that PGI has a 15 day trial license for their compiler, that should be long enough for a test run of the almabench to run.

  18. Well for some.... on 13.8MP Kodak Tops Previously Leaked Canon · · Score: 1

    ... this might be the new toy to buy tomarrow, and yes, i'm drooling over the thought of it too! However, I've been thinking/waiting for the fall to pickup a Nikon D100, this is great news for me, with new tech coming out, the D100 will drop a bit in price, and my hobbist fantisies will become a more easily atainable reality!
    =D

  19. Wait.... on JVC Announces Technology To Prevent Software Copying · · Score: 1

    What I dont get is, if its imbedded into the CD, and they expect the program to be able to read this key or layer somehow, what stops the user from doing the same thing? Or what would stop Johny Programmer from decompiling/decoding the software calls and keys and finding ways around it? It seems to me that all these new anti-copy techniques are just ways to make it more complicated to reverse-engineer and copy, but dont really work in the long run without new hw.

    The only solution I can see is they build a new media hardware format, and try to market and sell that. But who will want to buy company X's new drive and media when it wont work with Company Y's newest product, and wont support your legacy CD Media?

  20. Re:common carrier? on ISP Bans RIAA to Protect Its Customers · · Score: 1

    They could just block all incoming non-established or related traffic from the riaa webhosts/ip blocks, that would still allow the isp's users to see the riaa's site, though why they would want to is beyond me! =P

  21. Re:a question on Some Spammer Has a Crush on You · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, at my edu we still get alot of spam every day. The school has some spam-filter installed, but its not very good. Although 90% of the spam on that account is from the edu itself. Why they allow all prof's and facuilty to send mail to everyone@wishiwasabetter.edu i'll never know... there own fault though, they put us on an IMAP server with no hard mailbox limit.... heheh...

  22. Re:Geek types on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    I attribute my lack of memory for names for that first 1/2 year to all the radiation absorbed from these 3 monitors in front of me... Should I be worried about the low pitched fizzle/hum being produced by this 8 y/o MAG?

  23. Re:Unconstitutional on it's face on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    Umm, but if I read this right, it wouldn't be the fed's hacking and searching your drive, it would be the MPAA, and they probibly wouldnt bother to check if you have copyrighted works or not, they'd just DoS the hell outa you anyways.
    Infact they are probibly watching /. now, looking to see who dissents agains their ideas!!
