  1. Re:And yet... on Secure, Portable, Virtual Privacy Machine · · Score: 1

    If you are that paranoid just use a software based keypad. Also program it to randomize the key's if you are super paranoid. Make sure to put it in a faraday cage for TEMPEST

  2. Cone CT Scan on Apple Design Award Cube Spills Its Guts · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe that guy did the scan that saved Job's life. Thats probally how he really won.

  3. Re:Hmm on OpenBSD Now Nine Years Old · · Score: 1

    Debian is a distribution that is kernel independant. The things that make debian debian are the package management and the locations of the configuration files etc...

  4. Re:Were they really women? on Online Game Event Sparks Player Riot · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are just men that want to fight for women's rights? Hey , they are still fighting for their right to pretend?

  5. MetaData on Google Desktop Search Under Fire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is merely a tool. Just because it can be used the wrong way shouldn't make it a privacy concern. Peer to peer apps actually are more of a privacy concern just because they export all of the information?

  6. Re:Black Ipod? on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    SAT prep? Cool, I wouldn't expect this on slashdot. Can you give me more?

  7. Re:It's like on NEC Strikes Back With SX-8 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    They use DSP to do that. No one knows how to run a AI to do echelon stuff. You could play a big MMORPG on one though. Besides aren't virtual explosions better than real ones?

  8. My satellite on Students Design A Satellite Via Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well I built my satellite out of an TI-89 calculator and some metal boxes. I programmed it myself and launched it using my model rocket. So there.

  9. googleIM on Could IM Be The Next Step For Google? · · Score: 1

    Sure I can see it now. Search all of your IM's and everybody elses im's. You get 1 gb of space on google's servers that store your IM's. Seriously what can google make money off of? Targeted advertising in the client? Or im's from advertisers?

  10. Re:Finally! on Nanotechnology To Replace Conventional CMOS · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You don't like white blood cells do you? Of course thats wet ware.

  11. Rexx on IBM Open Sources Object Rexx · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly IBM wanted rexx to be embedded into some of M$'s products but instead ey chose visual basic and basic's relatives. I have never used rexx but I wonder if rexx is better than a hacked up version of basic.

  12. Dude on 19th Century Airship Technology for Port Security · · Score: 1

    That big blimp just said for me to have a good year. Now its actually going to watch me? I thought you said that wasn't a alien. But seriously folks something thats actually proven to be used to stop terrorism? Cool.

  13. I want one on Centaur - a Four-wheeled Segway · · Score: 1

    If this thing is 7-10 k I would seriously consider buying one. Possibly if it goes fast enough maybe 20-40 mph or even higher than that then I would buy it in a heart beat. This thing looks seriouslly cool.

  14. Re:DS is a new age of gaming on Nintendo DS Hands On · · Score: 1

    Considering that the DS is one of 2 real competitive portable systems I would reason that this would be a good choice. Also it is not required for the developer to make major changes to the game. They can choose to use the 2nd screen to display anything and make it do a simple task.

  15. Re:Now I need new pants! on Nintendo DS Hands On · · Score: 1

    I would recommend a utilikilt . They are much better than pants

  16. Re:Google aren't 1337 any more... on Google Launches SMS Search Service · · Score: 1

    I think he means <A HREF="http://booble.com"> booble </A>

  17. Irony on Sun and Kodak Settle Out of Court · · Score: 2

    Isn't ironic when you link to an out of court settlement and you have it on a place called iwon.com? I know it doesn't really matter that its a AP piece but come on, you guys have a sick sence of humor.

  18. Re:Wind Requirement on World's Largest Wind Turbine · · Score: 1

    Your question should be more specific. Any wind will spin it. I believe the question you should ask is how much wind does it require to get upto maximum spin. I wonder what would happen to a wind turbine in a hurricane?

  19. Re:HEADS UP on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 2, Funny

    It must be that balmer patch that automagically recognises the little numbers on his face and uses the angles to disallow viewing of the video.

  20. Excellent on OpenSSH is Five Years Old · · Score: 1

    Keep on rocking guys. I use ssh somewhat and it never fails on any of my systems. Its what the paranoid use to access their systems :-)

  21. Re:Patch is Already Out on Public Exploit For Windows JPEG Bug · · Score: 1

    Now it just asks for your password as of 10.3

  22. Re:Sounds like IBM's Robocode contest from... on 2004 ICFP Contest Spinoff Game · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is more advanced than core wars. Instead of having one program it has the same program done multiple times (as little ants). Look at the species page and try a combination (Foo 0.1 against foo 0.4 for example). Note you need java.

  23. Re:Strange syntax on 2004 ICFP Contest Spinoff Game · · Score: 1

    Dude have you ever heard of lisp? It uses an interpter programmed in java but it implements the scheme programming language. Google SISC. or RTFC

  24. Time on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The main problem with all of these solutions especially in math is that time is the largest factor in determining if the solution is correct. Give you 2 years and its marginally okay. Give you 40 and its accepted as a standard etc...

  25. Re:This is what I've been saying! on Implications Of The Recent Hash Function Attacks · · Score: 1

    Sha-1 isn't has no attack at this time. Why not just use that?
