  1. Re:I pick Magneto on Robots vs. Humans And Other Security Issues · · Score: 1

    I think you mean battle royalle not royal.

  2. Re:AFAICS on Security Hole in Morpheus · · Score: 1

    BTW I was looking at the note on using the exploit that someone just posted. I should have replied to that one, not the article
    :-)

  3. AFAICS on Security Hole in Morpheus · · Score: 1

    As far as I can see, this article says nothing about accessing any file. It only mentions the ability to access the shared files list. Of course I haven't tried it, so I could be wrong.

  4. Two Headed Penguins? on Two Headed Penguins? · · Score: 1

    Don't tell me the genetic engineers have been playing with penguin DNA now! First goats spinning silk, now penguins with two heads! :-)

  5. Re:Actually not for Linux quite yet on Blender Releases Linux 3D Web Plugin · · Score: 1

    Umm, how was it then that I actually downloaded it and tried it?

  6. Konqueror? on Blender Releases Linux 3D Web Plugin · · Score: 2

    Just tried it, but can't get it to go at all in Konqueror. In Mozilla I can't figure out how to load it, and netscape crashes my X server when I run the radiosity demo. Anyone else having problems? Thanks,

  7. Re:supermount and kernel 2.4.17 on Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta · · Score: 2

    Are there any other patches available that just work on CD-ROM's mounting them when inserted and umounting them when ejected? I've played with autofs, but it's not the best for this purpose.

  8. Re:supermount and kernel 2.4.17 on Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'd like to see that as well. Maybe Mandrake have just taken the most recent release of supermount and reworked it to work on 2.4.17. I wish the maintainer was still working on it. It really looks like something that should be included in 2.5.

  9. Re:Light Pollution on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 1

    Then you'd have a bunch of extremist astronomers going around commiting a terrorist war against light pollution. :-)

  10. Re:Free Voice Chat Program? on Secure Internet Live Conferencing · · Score: 2

    Another thing that would be cool would be a KDE frontend. :-)

    What's the best codec for using with dialup modems? Also is there a way to see if you're friends are online? Thanks,

  11. Re:Jabber has got signatures/encryption as well on Secure Internet Live Conferencing · · Score: 1

    It doesn't do voice or video though.

  12. Free Voice Chat Program? on Secure Internet Live Conferencing · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This is slightly offtopic, but are there any free voice conferncing programs for Linux and windows? I've tried Gnomemeeting, but it uses a flawed system that doesn't work with NAT easily. I'd like to find a program that could do this, and use GPG keys for encryption for an added coolness feature. Any coming soon? Thanks,

  13. Re:Slashdot DoS on Bad eBay Experience Spurs Internet Manhunt · · Score: 2

    There's no reason why they should happen. Any ISP should have filtering in place to:

    1. Not allow any packet to go out with a source IP other than the one the user is using.
    2. Detect the signatures of DoS attacks outgoing on their networks and block them. They should then kick the user until he removes the Ircbot/DoS bot.

    That would end DoSing.

  14. Re:This Is Very Good! on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 2

    The problem I find with KDevelop is the lack of integration of GUI design and coding. This is a staple in all modern IDE's, and I'd like to see it in KDevelop. An interface like Borland's would be great for KDevelop.

  15. Re:xephem on Beginning Astronomy? · · Score: 2

    KStars is part of KDE and also in Debian. It's much better and under active development.

  16. Re:methods on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 2

    Talking about methods, why can't we just create a method to trick their method? Open Source people have gotten around all sorts of firewalls and similiar in the past, so just create a new IP Masq module for the kernel that can avoid these stupid detection systems and make it look like a single Linux box. It would probably be difficult but it isn't un-doable.

  17. Re:SOCKS on IPTables and Port Forwarding? · · Score: 2

    Is there a good HOWTO for setting it up with 2.4 somewhere? Thanks,

  18. Re:wouldn't it be ironic on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 2

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Sure, patent the device first, but then hand one to an independant university research team to verify your claims. I say "independant" because some would have preconcieved notions about it being impossible. They should test the hypothesis that it doesn't work. When readings show it does work, then they should find out why it worked. This is the only way to prove these claims.

    If they inventor won't allow this to be done we can assume it's a hoax.

  19. Breaking the law on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 2

    With a warp drive that compresses space ahead of your vehicle, and expands it behind your vehicle, you can break the 300,000,000 km/sec speed limit law. However you are still not travelling faster than light in any frame of reference you will arrive at your destination as if you had. You also won't suffer the relatavistic problems of near-light speed travel.

  20. SOCKS on IPTables and Port Forwarding? · · Score: 1

    Anyone tried using a transparent SOCKS proxy for this task? I know there is one in Debian, but does anyone know how well it works? I'd basically like to be able to get Netmeeting and P2P to work from behind my firewall when I'm trying to connect to someone else who's behind a firewall. Thanks,

  21. Re:Sadly, Laws Won't Do It on ISP Forced Out of Business by DoS · · Score: 2

    We don't need any new laws or anything to stop attacks.

    All that needs to be done is for EVERY ISP to not allow any packet to leave their network that has a source address that they don't own. This would stop the script kiddies from being able to cover their tracks as easily.

    Maybe that should be a new feature of slashcode. An automatic searcher thingy that would look for similiar articles and warn the editor that is a similiar article and allow them to view it. It would search on URL's keywords and title.
