  1. MD5 checksums for everyone! on Burn your genes on CD -- for $500,000 · · Score: 1

    1. Burn your genes on CD
    1a. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.
    2. cat /dev/acd0c (or any other CD-ROM device ;-) | md5sum -
    3. share it, print it, do whatever you want. You could even make a barcode from it, which results in a quite fancy tattoo on your forehead.

    - MD5 checksum mismatch. No, you're not my mom ;)

  2. What is a honeypot? on OpenBSD 3.0 Honeypot Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    I think I'm not the only one who's reading this article and asking himself what a honeypot is. Could anyone please explain what it is? Thank you in advance.

  3. An interesting parallel to the past... on Analyzing Palladium · · Score: 1

    About a year ago I saw a TV report about the development of the tobacco industry in the 50's/60's including the consequences of smoking and methods to fight cancer.

    Now the astonishing parallel:

    MS considers the GPL to be cancer-like (Steve Ballmer mentioned that, AFAIK).

    (keep in mind: according to MS: GPL == cancer)

    That report I saw showed that the tobacco industry tried several substances which were mixed with the tobacco to lower the possibility of cancer. Now guess which one showed first acceptable results: yes, Palladium.

    So: Palladium was quite useable to lower the appearance of cancer.

    Maybe they saw this report too? ;-)

    What they probably forgot: Palladium was expensive and hard to produce, so they stopped it because it was unrentable.

    Really astonishing ;-)

  4. Bugzilla Slashdot Blocker Circumvention Method(tm) on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    Hm, I use Galeon and when I click on the link posted above, bugzilla refuses to display the page. But when I right-click on the link and say "open in new tab" - everything works fine. No cut+paste needed ;)

    greetings,

  5. So what about... on U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID · · Score: 1

    A normal stamp with a barcode on our foreheads? I think that would be better. We don't even need a passport, we can't loose it, the only way to loose the identity is to cut the head off ;)

    *beep* - uh sorry sir, you have not paid your taxes. $800 please ;)

  6. dmesg? on Lindows - Where's the Source? · · Score: 1

    Gimme a real dmesg of Lindows... huh? A bitmap? ;)

  7. Re:KDE's appearance on LinuxPlanet Reviews KDE 3.0 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, I don't think that _appearance_ is an important point. Things that change below the surface are more important since they change performance and usability more than a fancy GUI ;)

    Just my 2 -Cents ;-)
