  1. Re:Too long to wait on First Sight of Google Android · · Score: 1

    I got the sidekick id. It's got an sdk but you can't install any application. There is an ssh client for it though.

  2. Re:coflicting answers on Ron Paul Campaign Answers Slashdot Reader Questions · · Score: 1

    in question number 1. "is it a threat or an opportunity?"

    in the answer for number 1 this isn't answered.

  3. Re:I wish it was the same in the UK on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's 90's hip hop. 1992 specifically. 80's was more like run dmc and the like.

  4. Re:You're 25 years old... on How Do I Become an IT/IS Manager? · · Score: 1

    >> It seems the younger generation doesn't want to put in the time doing the work before they become the boss, and I say this as a 27 year old...

    I'm older than you, but why should they want to wait. Who the hell would want to wait to do shit they want. I'm not saying they shouldn't wait, but wanting to wait implies a lack of ambition.

    time to change doctors

  6. Re:Not a spec of Bias. on Jimmy Wales Says Students 'Should Use' Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I've used it at the graduate level. Not even close to being something I would consider citing. I did find it useful as it pointed me in a direction that I looked into further.

  7. Re:Wait, what? on LimeWire Antitrust Claims Against RIAA Dismissed · · Score: 1

    If it really is that simple neither do the lawyers. How is don't copy CD's in the same league as all that other stuff? Most people don't know enough not to copy cd's from a friend. Not to record a live performance. Not to take pictures of shit they see. etc. . .

  8. Re:Wait, what? on LimeWire Antitrust Claims Against RIAA Dismissed · · Score: 1

    unlike a technical manual everyone is expected to follow the law.

  9. Re:Virtually impossible? on New Way to ID Invisible Intruders on Wireless LANs · · Score: 1

    >>yea, but if you set up your wireless network with a specific set of MACs and only allow those macs to log in, keep all of your machines on so someone can't hijack the mac, and disable logins to your router from anything but one of those macs, they won't even be able to connect even after they crack your password unless they can flood your router or otherwise break it. Very few people can do this.

    or you could just change your mac. This is very easy.
    ifconfig eth1 hw ether newmacaddress

    this also isn't only about braking in but you can also listen passively without ever stepping foot onto the network.

    mac and an xbox

  13. Re:I hate the l337 txt culture on iPhone Keyboard Leads to Typso · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It could also imply that those that get iphones are more likely to misspell shit. i.e. iphones attract misspellers.

    You can always use a passport, I did this when my license got suspended.

    neither blockbuster nor netflix offer porn.

  16. Re:Deceptive summary on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    It also happens without that app. Like if your password is 8 or more characters.

  17. Re:the offical word from unsanity is it's broken on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    I got the blue screen of death, I had no weird third party add-ons. Apple recently released an update for people upgrading with passwords 8 characters or longer.

  18. Re:F&*! the nanny state on Manhunt 2 Rejected By BBFC Again, Rockstar Appeals Again · · Score: 1

    I've become way to cynical to do anything about it, I just want to know how to profit from it.

  19. Re:F&*! the nanny state on Manhunt 2 Rejected By BBFC Again, Rockstar Appeals Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It doesn't matter how the nanny state came to be either by overpowerful corps or government or whatever. These guys have a product and they can't sell it in a country.

  20. Re:Who cares about haircuts? on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    yeah but it's still price discrimination. Imagine if they were charging different races different prices people would be up in arms.

  21. Re:Yes and no on Upcoming Firmware Will Brick Unlocked iPhones · · Score: 1

    but where does it say apple can intentionally brick the phone because it doesn't like you.

  22. Re:Sort of. on Upcoming Firmware Will Brick Unlocked iPhones · · Score: 1

    that's a completely reasonable thing to do. 'You can't use our service without an approved device.' it increases the value for everyone else because it causes less cheating.

  23. Re:Is that even legal? on Upcoming Firmware Will Brick Unlocked iPhones · · Score: 1

    The difference is if apple is purposefully bricking them. I bought this thing and apple remotely bricked it because the didn't approve what i was doing with MY phone. Fuck em.

  25. Re:SpaceSuits anyone? on "Lifesaver Bottle" Filters Viruses Out of Water · · Score: 3, Informative

    "In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

    and condensation heats the air back up. You still have to get rid of the waste heat, somehow. Merely transfering it from the inner part of the suit to the outer is insufficient.
