  1. Tripwire for windows? on How Do I Determine If My PC is a Zombie? · · Score: 1

    If I remember right there is a Linux security software called Tripwire that records a hash for critical files in the system and when one of them changes it notifies you.

    Does such a thing exist for windows?

  2. Re:California Penal Code 502 on Generic Passwords Expose Student Data · · Score: 1

    The next step in this line of thougth is to punish the research that is studing some protocol to see if we are actualy secure by it./i?

    Too late, we have DMCA. Remember DVD Jon...

  3. Mozilla Foundation for profit?!?! on Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches · · Score: 1

    "The Mozilla Foundation has alluded to search related business arrangements and has created a for-profit subsidiary [Known as Mozilla Corporation]."

    It's a slipery slope:
    -Create Mozilla Corporation (Check)
    -Taste flavour of profits
    -do evil things (adware/spyware)
    -Get more profits
    -become really evil (??) ...
    ? (i dunno, I've already used Profit twice)

  4. zinc fuel cell on Honda Fuel Cell Concept with Home H2 Refueling · · Score: 1

    The zinc fuel cell cycle has already solved all the problems h2 is struggling with. Zinc is roughly 4200 times denser than h2 and has greater energy density than gasoline. The "exhaust" is solid zinc oxide. An automated fuel cell swapping system has been developed that only takes 8 minutes. The swapping system gets around the problem of battery replacement as the vehicle ages because you only rent a power pack for a short time. Zinc's biggest problem is political. It cannot be made from fossil fuels so our bought off politicians ignore its many advantages.

    This stuff is so under reported that even Wikipedia has no article on it!

  5. The number for 1.5 will have more weight on Firefox Tops 100 Million Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hope they have a separate counter for the release version of FF 1.5 because that will be truer account of FF's popularity.

    It's one thing to have FF 1.0x but given the auto-update feature in FF 1.5, you'd have to be a fool not to upgrade.

    I just hope you don't need to run FF 1.5 as Admin for the Auto-update feature to work.

  6. Re:OS recovery center on Interview with Tony 'Say No to Windows' Bove · · Score: 1

    No, there just using IE and Outlook express and running as Administrator
    I've moved people to FF and anything but OE and they have very few problem.
    The ones I've rigged to not be Administrator are even better off.

  14. Re:Solving the problem: your stuck there bud. on Broadcast Flag Back in Congress · · Score: 1

    Seriously. Can't MPAA understand that skiping broadcast-flag is as simple as bring a single circuit board from outside US? DMCA is only valid in US, until now, and a passthrough to ignore broadcast-flag is very easy to implement.

    It's called economics.
    ATI is releasing ONE version of their cards. The version that won't get them into court by another organisation with more money than them. (aka Broadcast-enabled only)

    We Canucks get the same shaft as you.
    Our politicians aren't bought and sold like yours are.
    They screw us for free!

  15. Re:Now will TB have a usable contacts list? on Mozilla Lightning Plans to Unify Mail & Calendar · · Score: 1

    In my little centrist-world called North america this would work.
    For somebody with many out-of-country contacts this, however, could be a pain.
    The solution is to have TB or Lightning look at the country field in the contact and "know" what format that country uses.

    Right now olk just looks up the settings in the computer and *assumes* that most/all contacts will be in the same region.

  16. Now will TB have a usable contacts list? on Mozilla Lightning Plans to Unify Mail & Calendar · · Score: 1

    I've asked for it before:
    -Phone fields that auto-formats to (###) ###-#### or whatever the user needs for his region.
    -ability to print multiple contacts per page(I'm talking about 10 per page in 4 columns, not 1 or 2 per page)

    And yes I'm a OLK user but one that would love to migrate. I cringe everytime I launch it thinking it will get a poison-pill email.

    I'd like to see how you do your 360-degree treadmill. You'd have to hold the solid floor with magnets so that plastic ball can move in any direction.

  19. Re:Oil Companies on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: 1

    I would love to buy a cordless electric mower but since it would use batteries and only be used 6 months of the year, the NI-CD batteries would need to be replaced every 2-3 years or so.

    If the batteries were deep cycle or car batteries or the same batteries that go into my power tools then I would buy. Today, however, those things are like razor blades and razor handles.

  20. Re:Different materials? on Lego Welcomes Hack Of Their Design Program · · Score: 1

  21. Black roofs and roads have done their jobs well on Global Warming Past The Point of No Return · · Score: 1

    Black roofs and roads have done their jobs well.
