  1. Cheapish Zip drives in .uk on Alternatives To The Floppy Disk? · · Score: 1

    If you live in the UK, you can get a fairly cheap USB 100Mb Zip drive if you buy it from gb.buy.com.

    So you get the drive itself for £55.22, anything else to take the cost up to £60 (like a blue zip-up 24-CD case (not Zip-related, but still; might be handy sometime), and then use the £30 off £60 coupon for new users (I believe it figures out new users from looking at credit card numbers) that you can get from here.

    ... meaning that you can get a new 100Mb USB Zip drive for a total of £30.74 with free delivery :-)

  2. Infertility on Cell Phone Radiation Chart · · Score: 1

    Has anyone ever done a study on the effects of mobile phones on male/female fertility?

    I try and keep my aerial as close to my balls as possible, as an alternative to the snip... but I doubt it works.

    Oh well.

  3. Copyright statement? on 95 (thousand) Theses (for sale) · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have an example of a copyright statement that says to the effect that everything in a project/thesis/essay can't be reproduced or sent outside the university/college without first contacting the author for permission? Or would it be enough just to say roughly what I said in my previous sentence?

    I don't want someone else to own the content of what I will be doing at university. I don't mind if it's given away free, but if people charge for it then that's not on as far as I'm concerned.

  4. Re:Someone needs to fwap these people... on 'Texting' Takes Over The Philippines · · Score: 1
    ...but they're doing it at funerals, which is disrespectful to everyone.
    I wouldn't mind anyone texting at my funeral - people having fun and enjoying life; what life's all about. Besides, I'd be dead - I wouldn't care :)
  5. Re:yeah...everyone is a techie! on Colleges Urged To Ban Telnet And FTP · · Score: 1
    So how do you prevent people from sniffing web-mail passwords?
    HTTPS? Is it just me or is that pretty obvious, along with a lot of other stuff in this thread?

    *shrug*
  6. Great on Macs In Space! · · Score: 1

    ... so now we'll have hordes of script kiddies whipping out their wireless networking kits and firing up their favourite sniffer in the hope of getting any passwords that fly by.

    Lovely.

  7. Encrypt outgoing mail via Exim? on Ask Slashdot: Cryptography in Mail software? · · Score: 1

    I currently use Exim as my MTA (and don't wish to change). Using the
    transport_filter feature, would it be possible to automatically PGP encrypt
    outgoing mail (only for a single recipient)?

    Unfortunately, I'm useless with shell/Perl scripting, so is there anyone out
    there who has already implemented this kind of thing? Any example code or relevant URLs would be *extremely* useful.
