  2. detailed links on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 3, Informative

    graffe.com suggests searching for inurl:"ViewerFrame?Mode=".

    You can do slightly bettter by searching for inurl:"MultiCameraFrame?Mode=", as mentioned on Metafilter.

  3. blocking Google ads on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can add the relevant ad servers to your hosts file:

  4. Ireland on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    Considering the U2 branded iPod, I expect to see Ireland come online first.

  5. Evolution on Scientists Give Human Organs to Lamb · · Score: 1

    "How will this affect evolution?"

    Assuming that you meant to say "effect", unless you mix our DNA this will have absolutely no effect on evolution.

    You aren't talking about the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from bodily changes by any chance, are you?

  6. 0.0.0.0 Hosts File on Worm Exploit Distributed by Advertising Network · · Score: 5, Informative

    In that case, feel free to use this version that uses "0.0.0.0" instead.

  7. Hosts File on Worm Exploit Distributed by Advertising Network · · Score: 5, Informative
    Yet another reason why it makes sense to use a hosts file with lines like:
    127.0.0.1 as1.falkag.de
    127.0.0.1 as2.falkag.de
    127.0.0.1 as3.falkag.de

  8. Re:Dear Slashdot editors: It's really fucking simp on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who expected the parent to come up first on this search?

  9. Scientist? on On the Trail to Atlantis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not convinced that "scientist" is an accurate description of the "US researcher" involved.

    A google search for Robert Sarmast doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

  10. orkut on Speculating About Gmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's a discussion about this discussion over in the Gmail community at Orkut.com.

  11. Re:Looks like on PeopleAggregator - An Open Source Social Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I need Charlenes here people. Claires. Colettes. Tortured twentysomething souls who lean forward in sleazy web cam shots just to show a little cleavage.

    I think you're looking for Orkut.

  12. Denver or California? on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 0, Informative

    It would be nice if at least the headline and the summary matched.

  13. Re:Still don't get it.... on AOL Tests Sender Permitted From / E-mail Caller ID · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seriously. Are you people really getting so much spam every day that the "delete" button just doesn't do it for you?

    In short, yes.

  14. Canadian Dollar on Canadians [Will] Pay Levy on MP3 Players - Updated · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think you may be confused about the effect of a rising Canadian dollar. If the dollar continues to go up, importing an iPod should get cheaper.

  15. RedHat RPMS on OpenSSL Security Vulnerability · · Score: 3, Informative

    New RPMs and RedHat's security advisory for for 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 can be found here.

  16. Redhat RPMs are available on New ssh Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 4, Informative

    Redhat has finally posted patched RPMS on their errata pages. Scroll down and select your release.

  17. Re:free registration no longer required on Paul Allen Plans Sci-Fi Shrine in Seattle · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Those, and a few hundred other sites were submitted by some of the kind people mentioned at the bottom of the page.

    Besides that, someone who makes it impossible to visit a disgusting website is a sicko?

    I suppose you object to the following as well?
    # For example, to block unpleasant pages, try:

  18. free registration no longer required on Paul Allen Plans Sci-Fi Shrine in Seattle · · Score: 5, Informative

    Seeing as people don't seem interested in posting links to archive.nytimes.com, you can always fix the reg. required problem using your hosts file.

    Simply add:
    199.239.136.212 www.nytimes.com
    199.239.136.212 nytimes.com

    The only negative side effect is that the front page no longer works. You can always fix that by also adding:
    199.239.136.245 frontpage.nytimes.com

    Check out someonewhocares.org/hosts/ for more hosts file goodness.

    199.239.136.212 nytimes.com
    to your hosts file to fix the "problem" for all normal nytimes.com URLs. The only negative side effect is that the front page no longer works.

    The difference is that Strauss' music is in the public domain.
