    I tried that, but they arrested my two girlfriends.

  2. Re:In Cisco tradition... on Cisco Introduces Rackmount Servers · · Score: 1

    Not quite; if you load any software on it not installed by the vendor (say, security patches) then you void the support contract. At least, that's how they do it with their blue HP servers.

    I'm quitting Slashdot.

  5. Re:Spinrite works miracles on What Data Recovery Tools Do the Pros Use? · · Score: 1

    You haven't seen what a weenie Steve Gibson has become while trying to stay relevant. You can blame him when you have to install WinPCAP just to use nmap or wireshark.

  6. Re:Is this done manually or automated? on Twitter, Flickr, Hotmail, Others Blocked In China · · Score: 2, Funny

    Configuration files? This is China, where labor is cheap. They have people manually inspect every request as it goes past the firewall.

    This is art school, so you probably have that backwards.

  8. Re:Easy reply on Keeping a PC Personal At School? · · Score: 1

    Tell them that, and then still lend it to them with a big smile.

    management is significantly better.

    That usually solves a lot of performance problems.

    Don't use an older box, get a newer box with a CPU that does virtualization. That makes all the difference.

    How is that new?

  15. Re:Two Ends of the Cable on When Your Backhoe Cuts "Black" Fiber · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you refer to IEEE 830-1984, "IEEE Guide to Software Requirements Specifications".

  16. Re:The boot-up splash screen on Ten Applications That Changed Computing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And even more time to drink that coffee as you rebooted while holding down shift when one of them fuxxored the system.

    Meanwhile, you're sitting there playing with your collection of old computers that didn't beat out Windows/x86.

  19. Re:Yah but on New HDMI 1.4 Spec Set To Confuse · · Score: 1

    Both my Samsung TVs have computers built-in; and I apologize for the meme, but I'm pretty sure they run Linux.

    (Hm, I wonder if I could force them to give up source code so I can enable SPDIF outputs...)

  20. Re:Ethernet on New HDMI 1.4 Spec Set To Confuse · · Score: 1

    I think many monitors today have HDMI inputs. Newegg shows 162 monitors without, 41 with 1, and 7 with 2. That's what, almost 25%?

    I don't believe you; you must have done something wrong.

  23. Re:lost vs corrupted on Phony TCP Retransmissions Can Hide Secret Messages · · Score: 1

    True, but the retransmits would be expected, since the receiver would send a retransmit request as part of a stream of data.

  24. Re:Might be a little obvious... on Phony TCP Retransmissions Can Hide Secret Messages · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I understand Comcast uses a variation of this to hide BT traffic; they send an RST in response to a connection attempt.

  25. Re:get rid of shitty teachers on Company Claims EEG Scans Can Help Identify ADHD · · Score: 1

    Right, you should never give someone medicine to someone to help alleviate symptoms that impact the person's quality of life. There must be something wrong with me, those amphetamines dramatically improved my life and career.
