  2. Heres a picture. on Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market · · Score: 1
  3. lmao on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    So if I rip my own music that I payed for and get my system crashed,
    I am just considered "collateral damage".

    should not happen anytime soon, but For them to be even thinking about it is disturbing.

    Goes to show what a bunch of crackpots these people are.

    Glad i'm european.

  4. Re:crazy on Special Ops · · Score: 1

    try reading the book.

    It explains common mistakes of an Admin and the best baseline configuration (gold standard) for all the operating systems.

    You don't learn this stuff from you mcse training material or a lot of other certs.

    "hackers. Script kiddies have an easy enough time of it as it is."

    I agree.. but how do you implement against something that you have never heard of before.

    u u u mean i i its baaaaad for uuuu?

    naaaah

  6. very good on Stealing the Network · · Score: 5, Informative

    I downloaded this as an ebook from syngress its cheaper :)

    The stories were all well written, covered a varied amount of subjects and were not heavily technical.

    Hope to see more books take this different angle, the only one that seemed to be written the same style recently was Art of deception.

  7. i'm confused on SCO SCO SCO! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Never thought i would be routing for Novell any time soon.

  8. works in quake3 on MP3 Player In An AK-47 Magazine · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well my concentration improves when listening to music like slipknot or rage against the machine in quake3. Would not like to try it in the middle of a warzone though.

  9. Paying for Linux on Red Hat Announces Enterprise Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your not paying for Linux your paying for the support. Also companies have someone other then microsoft to point the blame at when something goes wrong... :)

  10. why did they add in the pda comparison on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe its just me but what was the point of compairing a laptop to a pda. Laptops are good for a lot of things but pda's also have advantages.

    just seems a dumb comparison

  11. Admins would notice? on Killing Others' Malicious Processes · · Score: 1

    I think this would be a good idea but a lot of preperation will need to be done and the code constantly reviewed until release in the wild...

    But in the event of this virus actually doing more wrong then good in the wild what would happen then. I would if working on this sort of thing have installed a backdoor, which I realise now was also Max Visions intentions with his worm incase it joined the dark side.

    My other point is a lot of admins would not realise they were dis/infected in the first place....we can not keep sending out worms to sort out the Incompetent admins everytime they is a new worm...the internet is already noisy enough.

  12. lol on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    You have got to be joking if you its serious. This is the biggest pile of bullshit I have seen in a long time.

  13. criminal or not on Appropriate Punishment For Crackers? · · Score: 1

    If you teach a group of people how to hack/crack (whatever you prefer to call it) then this does not mean all of them are going to start defacing websites. The ones of a criminal nature will indeed go out and disrupt, destroy, or deface websites and should be punished accordingly as criminals. If the other few in the group decide to start poking around out of interest, then at least they are not intending to do any damage or show any trace they are there.

    if you have malicious intent then your should be punished like any other criminal.

    if you don't intend to cause any damage or show off that j00 0Wn3d a site then at this point they should get a more lenient sentance.

    even though this would not happen in the first place if admins got a clue about security but thats another rant all together.

  14. may not be a bad thing. on XPde: Cloning the XP Interface · · Score: 1

    While i personally do not use gui's on a regular basis cloning the gui is probable a good step. Microsoft pool a lot of money into research on a friendly gui so would be a good idea to have the same layout for linux. While this will only be a stepping stone for newbies, i remember when i first tried using X and thought it strange that they were so many menu's dupicated, Odd layouts with kde and gnome, wiget sets...... now its all second nature but why scare newbies off when you can gradualy ween them onto the more advanced features of linux later.

  15. wanted photo on FBI To Use Ad Banners to Find Criminals · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the fbi person who altered the persons photo with photoshop went a little too far....

  16. most have been the word IIS on Russia's Role in the ISS in Trouble · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    anyone else read that as "russia's hole in iis"

  17. funerals on Tornado in a Can · · Score: 1

    This device should be used for funerals ...Its bound to be more efficient at turning a body into powder then fire ever would.

    Probable not a good idea to actually do this at the funeral service though.

  18. linux from scratch on Getting Started In Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    I started out trying to learn Linux and was doing well from the odd book and looking through the man pages. As soon as I found the website http://linuxfromscratch.org I learned more in a month then I had done in a year.
    Depends how deep you want to get into linux but its well worth a look.

  19. Counterstrike on First-Person Account Of Video Game Addiction · · Score: 1

    Its not that bad..... At least counter strike cured my pr0n addiction.

  20. Re:Comments at download.com on Slashback: Picnic, Neonapster, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    must be paying download.com off with the revenue from the spyware.
    Probable the plus posts are neoaudio creators/rippers anyway.

  21. Frogs n Flies on Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics · · Score: 1

    I saw on discovery about frogs that completely freese solid and then come back to life after winter. If they chemical they create can be duplicated (not sure if it was just glucose) we could be frozen without any cell damage being done....anyone know why flies can be frozen?
