  1. IPS? on US Cyber Command Wants Greater Attack Mentality · · Score: 1, Funny

    Active heuristic-based IPS in lieu of firewalling would likely provide the flexibility for outgoing attacks and incoming responses without just blindly blocking important traffic. Ok, problem solved. My rate for providing advice to the military is $1.7m per second, which I believe falls into the regular GSA schedule. Payment due immediately.

  2. wow... yawn on RIAA "Making Available" Theory Rejected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know this is about my rights, authoritarian regimes, digital music and all sorts of interesting stuff, but at the end of the day... I am convinced that the RIAA's position is that if they bore the shit out of the majority of the population with excessively long legal arguments that try to define and redefine the distribution of music, that people will probably stop caring. I know I have.

    Thankfully there are people watching these guys so that the rest of us don't have to read the parts when groups like this try to redfine terms like "distribution." Virtual toast to you. I need a nap.

  3. this isn't secret in any way on Clandestine Operations at Google · · Score: 2, Informative

    Google has been selling their search appliance boxes for years. The fact that they've been selling them to the spooks is hardly shocking. http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa/index.html

  4. massive growth market on Windows Forensic Analysis · · Score: 1

    As the reviewer mentions, forensics and IR work is a quickly growing field. The company I work for does quite a bit of this sort of thing, and even in cases where you would expect not to find much on a disk image, you almost always do. Out of 4 recent clients that we've performed this sort of work for, 3 of them had either prefab or custom malware floating around in their environments - real nasty stuff. The fourth had big fat rootkits installed all over the place. Kind of speaks volumes about the differences between where companies think they are, and what's really going on.

  5. Re:The questions are interesting... on Air Force Cyber Command General Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, if an army of well armed x86 based cyborgs that are only defeatable by utilizing buffer overflows and cross site scripting attack us, who will you turn to then? WHO WILL YOU TURN TO I ASK YOU?!?!

  6. Re:Why the painfully inane comments today? on RIAA Denies Hypocrisy in Royalties Dustup · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you outlaw copyrighted webcasting by making it cost prohibitive, only outlaws who don't care about cost prohibitive copyrighted webcasting will webcast.

  7. publishers on EU Approves Google-DoubleClick Merger · · Score: 1

    has anyone done any analysis on how the merger will impact current adsense publishers? Will they be able to take advantage of dc services?

  8. oh!!!! on Modeling Urban Panic · · Score: 1

    you're supposed to run AWAY from the burning car. This model is clearly not based in the projects.

  9. the song on Japan's Melody Roads Play Music as You Drive · · Score: 1

    would it happen to be the goodyear theme? I'm sure these roads destroy tires

  10. who would i call? on Free Phone Calls... If Advertisers Can Eavesdrop · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking I could do what we did with the Neilsen box when we begged them to hook it up - we left it on cspan 24 hrs a day. I could auto-dial publisher's clearing house, resulting in automatic repeated entry into the sweepstakes, so that Ed McMahon shows up with my big ass check.

  11. Re:How strange on Canadian Dollar Reaches Parity with US$ · · Score: 1

    The partner and customer dinners were pretty significant. But I think what really drove it over the top was the fact that it was a payment card industry conference. Gotta watch those interest rates. :)

  12. How strange on Canadian Dollar Reaches Parity with US$ · · Score: 1, Funny

    I was just up there for a conference, and I stayed in the Royal Hotel. I hope this isn't all my fault.

  13. relax on Vista Activation Cracked by Brute Force · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guarantee you MSFT will release a patch to reorder license keys or figure out some other solution. If you were the largest software company in the world, and you had a product that was being touted as "more expensive than switching an entire IT department to OSX:, wouldn't you?

  14. Re:Configuration issue on Solaris Telnet 0-day vulnerability · · Score: 1

    that's because you're trying to log in as root.
    try a regular user.

  15. somehow i think on AI to Monitor Foreign Press for Threats · · Score: 1

    it's probably just some lame tool that uses regular expressions and someone, somewhere in the government doesn't know what AI is.

  16. let's see if we can get slashdot added on Wikipedia Won't Bow to Chinese Censors · · Score: 1

    to the ban list in china. The chinese government killed alot of people in Tiananmen square, and it was wrong. Also, they suck. There. I've done my civic duty.

  17. I heard on Is World of Warcraft More Than Just A Game? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    that there's this thing called outside. these people should check it out. sad really. Is this seriously a story? People going out of their way to tutor noobs in an online video game?

  18. yeah also imagine on What if Game Graphics Never Aged? · · Score: 1

    game titles that can justify a cost of $500.00. eep.

  19. you should... on Security Analysis Reports for Managers? · · Score: 1

    speak klingon. klingon is not technical.

  20. what about criminal charges? on MPAA Being Sued For Allegedly Hacking Torrentspy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    going after money in a lawsuit is one thing. crossing state lines while breaking into the computers of a corporation is criminal... is anyone going to something simple like call the FBI/ local law? jesus....

  21. yeah whatever on The Future of Digital Books · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can barely get through a slashdot briefing in a web browser, let alone war and peace.
    Noone reads ebooks as it is now, because a screen is an impractical medium for books.
    Indexing them all will be neato bambino for quick searches and whatnot, but most people don't want to be glued to a screen for that long. Besides, books smell cool and computers do not.

  22. security ramifications? on USB-Powered Linux Server Fits in Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    So basically, it's a pocket sized device that can act as a server which plugs into any usb port and takes control of everything from screen to nic, and everything inbetween....in other words, it's more than likely utilizing the same mac and ip that it's host had, and certainly opens up some interesting questions about what you could do with the device API (assuming there is one). Then again, it runs on debian, so I guess you could just recompile whatever toolset you wanted on the thing, have all jobs run on cron, and tape it to the underside of a desk.

    As far as being limited storage-wise, you could have it own up boxes and nfs stuff back out to itself I guess...

  23. pentagon cereal prize inside? on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1

    "is reporting that the Pentagon is working with a marketing firm ..."

    Try new missile defense sugar crisps?
    Drive a tank, win a car?
    You'll never get a rush like the crushing sound of a little dictators neck?

    I am truly frightened.

  24. bullshit. on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 1

    Even if i'm the last person on the planet, I'm not ever going to pay for mp3s. so there. blow me.

  25. sigh of relief on Under a Big Blue Shadow · · Score: 3, Insightful

    finally the day has come where huge industry players are fighting over who is more badass with open source. 10 years ago people would have laughed at this idea.
