  1. Re:Remember to check if it's legal. on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about Roadrunner? It's run by a cable company; I don't think it would cut into their revenues much.

  2. The best? on The Long-Awaited MOO! · · Score: 1

    What about Lambda?

  3. Already been done on Mission: Infiltrate the P2P Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Download it here. Note that it has no search feature. You'll need to link it from 'freesites'. Visit the site for more details.

  4. Re:Smoking? on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1

    Use a public-key scheme. Take the serial number, encrypt it with $privatekey, have the phone decode it. As long as the private key dosen't get out and someone dosen't brute-force it (possible with the length of numbers the user is likely to enter), you're fine.

  5. Re:yes on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Three? HDD, Monitor, ...?

  6. Re:Luckily for me, my Ebay'd hard drives are safe on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Guns only destroy a small area, and jumper cables form a circuit across the least resistant path, so it won't erase the whole drive. Scrape off the aluminum, powder it, mix it in a 1:1 molar ratio with rust powder, and ignite.

  7. Mirror? on Barcode-Controlled Home? · · Score: 1

    On the replacement "oh-no-I've-been-slashdotted" page, he states the URL will be given to those who ask. Someone who has this should mirror that page.

  8. Re:Is it me or.... on Inside Symantec's 'Security Center' · · Score: 1

    Well, there was that PNG security hole...

  9. If you search it now... on Google Responds to SearchKing's Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    ...it's now the first result.

  10. Re:scary - use encryption on Inside Symantec's 'Security Center' · · Score: 1

    They uninstalled a windows patch? Really? How?

  11. Re:killing HTTP referers on You Can't Link Here · · Score: 1

    Take a look at '-'? Where's the link?

  12. Re:Links on You Can't Link Here · · Score: 1

    Bugzilla worked when I tried it.

  13. Are they legally allowed to deny links? on You Can't Link Here · · Score: 1

    After all, the linking pages aren't actually contacting the site. No law against publishing the address of a secret military base; why should there be one for web pages?

  14. Re:SSH on Flaw Found iIn Ethernet Device Drivers · · Score: 5, Informative

    It can't sniff SSH keys from that; SSH is secure even if you sniff *all* packets.

  15. Re:who still wants to crack this key? on X-Box Private Key Challenge Ended · · Score: 1

    I thought the algorithm won't work w/o using real primes.

  16. Re:Sounds pretty decent... on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    No. The real reason is that it slows IE connections to non-IIS servers. It has to wait for a timeout or RST in response to its protocol violation.

  17. Re:Cut n Paste on Why IE Is So Fast ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think you mean raw sockets. It's only allowed for root, of course.

  18. What about gentoo? on Known-Good MD5 Database · · Score: 1

    Do you list the gentoo binaries there, too? :)

  19. Re:Short answer? No. on Hospital Brought Down by Networking Glitch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The researcher was just entering data in. Not experimenting with the network. Where do you expect him to store his experimental resulst? On a ZIP disk?

  20. Re:Wow. How disgusting. on ALICE vs. ALICE · · Score: 1

    I say Nano.

  21. straight from the experts' mouths on Leonid Meteor Shower Observation Tips · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It must be painful, vomiting meteors...

  22. 'Clusternig' is not a buzzword. on Online Game Cluster · · Score: 1

    Then what is it? It's not in any of my dictionaries...

  23. Sure... on The Fermionic Version of Bose-Einstein Condensates · · Score: 1

    ...but you have to pass the nadion pulse through the warp coils first.

  24. /. effect. on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 1

    Anyone gt a mirror?

  25. Not all code needs to be free... on GPL Issues Surrounding Commercial Device Drivers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But drivers should be. You're making money on the hardware, it's in your interest to let other improve on the software side and port it to other OSes.
