  1. So jam the signal. on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what will happen if your GPS doesn't work? Maybe someone uses one of the commercially available GPS jammers, or homemade ones: http://www.phrack.org/show.php?p=60&a=13
    Will they not give you the congestion charge discount? Will they slow down the car until the GPS signal is re-acquired?

  2. Rebuttal by The Mac Observer on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 4, Informative

    Bryan Chaffin from The Mac Observer goes into some of the points mentioned in the original article: The Back Page: PC Apologist Asks If We Mac Users Are Now Humble

    One interesting point made is that those who say that Mac OS X suffers fewer security and virus problems than Windows only because there are fewer Mac users just don't have a leg to stand on.

  3. Smart ships? on OpenBSD: Hackers Meet Soldiers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why not? They've tried it with Windows nt, which didn't work, so maybe there's more trust in open systems since then.

  4. This is great... on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    I just checked with Mozilla on win2k, and they still block me. Now if only they included instructions on how to completely remove IE from this box it'd be heaven.
