  1. Dont Forget on Dotcom Era Fads · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Goatse, conese and Bathtubgirl. Persuading people to visit random websites has got to have been a dot com pastime. Just look ot the number of people this search brings up.

  2. Don't believe everything you read on Europol Describes Data Retention Desires · · Score: 1
    Under '6. Internet Relay Chat' they state
    Copy of the contract Bank account / credit card for the payment
    Which I say is rather odd. The style is rather weird, I haven't seen many company reports in that style, it is too informal with no reasons behind the items. If this was a white paper, then I would expect more explaination and bulk.

    Don't believe everything you read kids!

  3. JavaBeans solves all these problems on How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare · · Score: 2, Informative

    JavaBeans does everything that this article wants now. It suports introspection, special field editors... Then you can build general purpose editors for any type of user. Couple this with javaspaces, for storage. JavaBeans is a shipping technology, but JavaSpaces is still a bit dodgy last time I looked (6 months ago.) Sun have spent alot of time getting this right, there is no good reason te reinvent it.

  4. The biggest Dictionary on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd go for a dictionary of every word ever used on the web. Complete with common usage examples.

  5. Get a Cheap CF-41 on Structural Integrity of Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I bought a cheap panasonic cf-41 for £200 a few years ago. It is a wonderful piece of designed-to-last kit. The screen back is metal, and it has a nice backlit screen. Runs a 50mhz 486 so the battery runs for hours. I've used RH4.2 and slack 7.0 on it (running X). I had to put a 10Gb disk in it (was 250mb ish.) The things are built to last, and have the only laptop keyboard I have ever seen that doesn't flex in the middle. You dont need that 1ghz processor on the move, but you will love the ~4 hours battery life.

  6. Use REAL tamper protection on Ethernet Wiring Through Hostile Territory? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The big boys use a plastic sheet coated with carbon tracks in many layers. Goretex (yes the same one that makes boots) sells this stuff. It is generally used to protect small devices from being probed. It works by measuring the resistance of the carbon tracks and can detect sub-micron drills. Crypto units in gov/mil applicions use this technique, so it is considered to be the best method.

    In your case the wire would be wrapped in this stuff and then coated in a soft epoxy resin. Any damage to the sheath and the system can take evasive action...

    I've got a contact in this area - Email me and I'll put you in contact.
