  1. Re:my first question would have to be... on Vint Cerf Answering Questions on Top-Level Domains · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Which is why one of the political parties has gop.gov

  2. nc on Redirecting Audio from PC to PC? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Netcat can do wonderful things that should never be done over a network.

    Actually I think he drew more material from Stalin and Russia than Hitler and Germany.

    Uh rights? You don't need any special privileges to run xmodmap.

  5. Re:Can anyone confirm this? on GoDaddy Serves Blank Pages to Safari & Opera · · Score: 2, Informative

    The spec also specifies that the end of the request is marked by \r\n\r\n. GoDaddy is responding to the request after the initial "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n" instead of waiting for two consecutive CRLF delimiters.

  6. Re:I don't see that they do, no... on Don't Network Administrators Require Privacy? · · Score: 1

    A good IT admin knows that without some physical security most computer security is a joke.

    What good is a case lock if the attacker has 5 uninterrupted hours alone with a computer? What good is the BIOS password if they can reset the BIOS? And so on...

  7. Re:Whoop-d-doo on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 1

    Linux? You should try it on a Solaris 8 box. I wouldn't call it random cause it is 100% reliable when it decides it doesn't like a page, but I have yet to determine what about the pages crash it.

  8. Re:It works both ways, but it's worse for MS on No Defense Against Windows Rootkits? · · Score: 1

    That would be why all the security manuals for linux recommend disabling module loading. Not that even this would prevent you from modifying the kernel, it just makes it harder.

    In fact that doesn't add up to 100% either.....

    thats ugly looking, seriously. Although I'm not found of the OSX interface either.

  11. Re:Hot off the presses on GNOME 2.12 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can make it so that only GNOME + Evolution + their dependencies are upgraded, but if Ubuntu is doing the same library transition Debian is in right now you are going to get most of unstable right now anyway.

  12. There is only one solution on Advice for the K12 Tech Guy? · · Score: 1

  13. IRC chat with them on DirectNIC Crisis Manager Braves the Chaos of New Orleans · · Score: 1

    irc.freenode.net channel #interdictor
    We also have #interdictor-chat for random chat about it and #interdictor-scanner for radio transcripts from the scanners

  14. Think of the children! on Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod · · Score: 4, Funny

    Imagine the outrage if she had purchased her son the August 2005 issue of National Geographic Magazine. There is a photo of a nude woman in it! We must start checking IDs on magazine purchases and institute a rating system at once!

    Yeah after I saw that I was afraid he might have gotten the idea from the last time I posted this joke.

  16. Naked Sims! OH NOES! on House Calls for Investigation Into Rockstar Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I said it before and I'll say it again, to be fair they should prosecute Maxis too!

  19. Re:To be fair... on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that the actual Sim models are nude and this patch is merely removing the blur that appears when they remove clothing.

  20. Naked Sims, film at 11 on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not investigating Maxis over The Sims Nude Patch

    INCONCEIVABLE!

  21. All depends on what you want. on Open-source Licensing: BSD or GPL? · · Score: 5, Informative


    The purpose of the GPL is to ensure that the code will always be open.

    The purpose of the BSD license is to ensure the authors are given proper credit, not necessarily to keep the code open.

  22. Games got nothin on children's cartoons on Pac-Man As Pot Head · · Score: 1

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea...

  23. Re:If you're interested in money.... on Copyright Law Protection for Employees? · · Score: 1

    Does the whistle blower protection stuff cover this?

    Personally my job does not include keeping track of licensing, that is my boss's job. My boss gets the requests, signs off on them, and gives me the work orders. Unless I am given evidence otherwise I just assume my boss actually checked the licenses. I have had to return a few that request some software which is only free for personal use though.

  24. Re:bibtex on Software for Managing Your Bibliography? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I can also recommend bibtex. Generally comes with LaTeX and is probably what your KDE program is doing anyway. LaTeX and bibtex can be done with any text editor. I recommend vim for a console editor and Nedit for a graphical one, both do syntax highlighting on LaTeX.
