  1. Searching Craigslist on Yahoo! Opens Its Website To Third-Party Developers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Without violating Craigslist terms of service. I have created a nation wide search, and state search for Craiglist. The links are.

    http://atl.org/~ed/craigslist/
    http://atl.org/~ed/craigslist/queryState.php

    I built it for a small group of friends, and I'm sure it will collapse under the weight of a slashdot effect. But searching Craigslist can be done without violating section 12.b of the terms of service.

  2. Re:Makes me wonder on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1
    Earthquakes can't change the Earth's orbit anymore than you can fly by pulling your hair upwards.

    Yea, tell that to an ice skater.

  3. Re:ah the /. crowd on Exploitation of Open Source VoIP · · Score: 1

    Yea right, when Slashdot speaks in one voice is when I turn to another site for commentary.

  4. Re:How effective is chaning the HOSTS file... on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 1
    Proxy servers tend to munge up way too much software so all but one company I have ever worked for just nat everything and do not use proxy servers.

    Well, I have used transparent proxy servers at every SMB installation without fail. All the web pages see it as they would if the computers were NATed together.

    If you use a proxy server, transparent or not, this vulnerability will not affect you.

  5. Re:Extreme comparisons on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 1
    ...everyone should be entitled to a second chance...

    You are not entitled to a second chance, you can plead for one, and hope for the best. But that is different from entitled.

  6. 49 Watts on Energy Efficient and Cheap Servers for Home Use? · · Score: 1
    FYI:

    I recently put together a server with power consumption in mind. It included: 1GHz VIA cpu, 512MB RAM, two network cards, and two 40G 7200 rpm drives mirrored.

    The entire computer pulled a total of 47 watts. I was even able to unplug the CPU fan once I replaced the heat sink.

  7. Version control on Linux Desktop Guide · · Score: 1
    I have one problem with using word processors for large shared documents: Version Control. How would one accept patches from others?

    I'll stay with TeX and DocBook

  8. Re:Nice, but they've got it all wrong... on Linux Desktop Guide · · Score: 1
    ...there are no users who've never used a computer before who are likely to run Linux...
    Well, not really. I'm encouraged to find people creating documentation/guides that assume that every user on the planet will be one day running Linux. Because I assume that that day will come.
  9. Separation of Duties on Stored Procedures - Good or Bad? · · Score: 1, Insightful
    If your project is large enough, you separate the development, and allow for your DB admins to create stored procedures.

    If your project is small, one programmer, then there is no need to separate duties.

  10. Re:The OFFICIAL torrent on Fedora Core 2 released to Mirrors, Bittorrent · · Score: 0

    But you can start the download the questionably hacked version now. Then tomorrow, switch to the officical torrent. Let bittorrent compare the files for you, or verify the MD5 sums from fedora tomorrow.

  11. Re:Wrong Approaches on OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop · · Score: 0
    ok, let me try again, since some my first commet was marked as flamebait

    Yes, this means we will pay for e-mail. I hate the idea as much as you, but I cannot see a working solution in any other method.

    Why should we stop imagining new solutions to the spam problem, just because all the previous attempts have seemed to fail?

    I believe that the proper solution has not been thought of yet.

    stop being lazy, think of another solution.

  13. Re:Usability is fine on Groklaw Tries Their Own Linux Usability Study · · Score: 1
    Let me just point out this simple fact: There will never be a killer app for linux.

    Any application that is on any merit that runs on Linux will also be available on Solaris, *BSD, and Windows.

    Examples include: MySQL, PHP, Apache, StarOffice, GIMP, Mozilla, etc...

  14. You tell me... on Making Use Of Old LCDs? · · Score: 1
    because if you know, then there would be some use for these: http://photos.edebris.com/catalog/item/1529. And there are a lot of them available.

    (fyi: yea, I wrote the catalog system for my friend)
