    So I'm toally out of the running? Damn! Another lonely Valentine's day shall be my curse!

    We all know that's true,
    Poets can take liberties.
    You still get the point.

  4. Re:That's clever, but... on Two Blanks Against the Trend · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should lobby Congress to pass stricter laws to enforce protection of your /. posts. That'll learn those evil anonymous cowards. (What have they got to hide, anyway? They're probably pinko commies.)

  5. Re:RegisterFLY on Congress Eyes Whois Crackdown · · Score: 1

    I beleive dotster offers this for free, but you have to re-sign-up for it every time you renew your domain.

  6. Re:not bad on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 1

    While you're editing it, you should probably change then to than. HTH. HAND.

  7. Re:Hmmm ... any Firebird experts around here? on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 1

    Mozilla Firebird -> Preferences -> Web Features -> Fonts and Colors

    Not exactly hidden.

  8. Re:Does this mean on Microsoft Security Patch Fixes URL Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    from the no-more-typing-URLs dept.

    Based on the dept. line, I'd guess so.

  9. Re:Ouch on Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005? · · Score: 1

    The Dreamcast really ought to be in the 4th generation list. Just because it's dead now doesn't mean that its hardware was any less impressive that the PS2- in fact, most people would say that the Dreamcast looked much better than the PS2. Damn shame Sega's console division went tits up. /me huggles his Dreamcast

  10. Re:Seizure seizures on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1

    RFC 1917 is your friend. *sigh*

  11. Re:Not patching this month...... on New IE Bug Hides Real Site Address · · Score: 1

    the protocol supports (insecurely) putting your user and pass into the address bar, for instance the URL:

    ftp://user:pass@domain.com

    Will automatically log you into and display the directory at domain.com. It's a useful and used part of the standard that's not going away any time soon.

  12. Definately. on Software Approvals For Consumer Markets? · · Score: 1

    More beauracracy has always helped in the past. Let's make sure that all software has to be approved by a baroque panel of arbitrary, disaffected drones. Software quality is sure to skyrocket!

  13. Re:An ID on every car axle? on An ID Number for Everything · · Score: 1

    Or a VIN?

  14. Re:Grit in Craw... on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    So you signed with out a petitioner present. Then what happened? The petition fairies magiced it away to Issa's office?

    Somebody got permission of the building owner to put it there.
    Somebody picked up and delivered the signed sheets.
    Somebody verified they were legit.
    Somebody got paid.

  15. Re:Hmm on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 1

    That's not illegal. You can do damn near anything you'd like with public domain stuff, including sell it, sell licenses for it, etc.

  16. Even better solution on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    How about some enterprising cracker writes a virus that spreads out and shares the mp3 files of the victims. Keep the client to surf this network seperate.

    You don't get control of how much bandwidth and files you share, but you get plausable deniability. Hey, it's a virus - and your virus checker was just out of date. Shucks.

  17. Re:Contact your network company on Exploit Available for Cisco IOS Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Funny

    After which they'll explain that they use Juniper equipment because it doesn't suck near as much as Cisco and you'll look like an ass.

  18. Re:Yahoo doesn't want her place back on Yahoo Buys Overture for $1.63 Billion · · Score: 1

    Actually, a great many online storefronts use the Yahoo store as thier backend. It's a lot cheaper than doing it yourself for the small time crowd, and Yahoo handles the messy credit card details. So I wouldn't exactly call it their "least compelling feature". Their near useless search holds that crown in my mind.

    Viva Google!

  19. One day... on Los Angeles Gets Own TLD · · Score: 1

    I really hope that one day I can start my own country and get the wn domain, so my email address can be sh@wn. That'd rule!

    Next valentines day, maybe someone can hook thier geek lady up with "c@r.la".

  20. crapo.la on Los Angeles Gets Own TLD · · Score: 1

    As of this posting, crapo.la is still open. If only it wasn't way out of my vanity domain purchacing budget...

  21. Sega? on Most Dreamcast Online Servers Halted · · Score: 1

    I haven't been able to connect to the sega sports servers ever (though I was trying 2k1 games in 2002-2003). Were they accessable at all after 2001?

  22. Here's one for you... on Ethical Dilemmas Related to Technology · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about, "should somebody who isn't familiar with the issues be responsible for teaching them?" Seriously, this could also spin off into "should the largely technologically illiterate Congress be making laws about technology?" and other topics that shine light onto the pressing concerns that have been the cause of umteen YRO articles.

  23. Re:Through the military, yes on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 1

    How does that work? Everything that I've seen for this waiver requires >0% disability. Can you email me at slashdot at protobofh dot net, I'm really curious as my dad was USAF for 20 years and I'm going through school with loans now. Thanks.

  24. Re:What's up with all the depressing career storie on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... maybe I'll look into becoming mentally ill.

  25. You're reading it wrong. on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not 32,000 games, it's 32K games. Games which fit in 32K.

    But this machine will play them very quickly, as it's the fastest machine on the market.

    And, you've got to admit, "Phantom" is the perfect name for a vaporware console.
