  1. Not a problem for me... on 1024-bit RSA keys In Danger Of Compromise? · · Score: 1

    I use triple-4096 bit keys :)

  2. Re:gcc 3.x on RedHat 7.3 beta (skipjack) is out · · Score: 1

    I don't understand what this 'binary incompatibility' is. Does this mean .solibs will need to be replaced?

    Well? I see you're still on the comments pages...

  4. .3? on RedHat 7.3 beta (skipjack) is out · · Score: 1

    I thought Red Hat always did .0, .1, .2, +1.0, etc

  5. Does it really matter? on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 1

    As long as you have cowboyneal.* and microsoft.com.die.die.die.*, who cares about the rest?

  6. Why cards? on Hong Kong Gets Smart ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Why not just make a database of thumb/iris/voiceprints and lookup Joe Citizen's identity when needed? There's no real need for 'cards' here. Anyway, I think this would be very useful in the US. Imagine a world where there's no credit cards to lose, no signature to make, and no PIN numbers to forget!

  7. I don't belive it on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    This has got more comments than Taco's proposal!

  8. KDE? on Will CS Students Switch From Microsoft? · · Score: 1
    That may change. Linux hackers from Germany and elsewhere are working on a Windows-like graphical interface for Linux PCs called KDE (for K Desktop Environment). They expect to release it this spring--free of charge.


    Ummm... I thought KDE was already released?

  15. Re:New policy on paid moderators? on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Your +1 interesting dosen't seem to have been revoked :)

  16. Re:Mozilla all the way .. on Linux Web Browsers Compared · · Score: 1
    Now I am just waiting for the "block these sites" style of entry which can be seeded by a downloaded file to block ad servers.

    Take three parts perl and one part iptables. Mix thouroughly. Serves 1.

  17. Obfuscating code... on On the (Im)possibility of Obfuscating Programs · · Score: 1

    If you mean assembler, ten you can write self-modifying code, but even that isn't impenetrable.

  18. Re:New policy on paid moderators? on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Umm... Mod points expire after 3 days, and your mods vanish if you post in a thread where you used them. RTFFAQ!!!

    What about using a hex editor to send raw packets, and displaying incoming ones using the HDD led?

    The only uses I've seen for JavaScript are:

    • Script kiddie h4x0ring
    • Lack-of-CGI workarounds
    • Flash detection
    • Ads

    So who needs JavaScript, anyway?

  23. Bug and question on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    First: when going from preferences to subscription, you don't see the preferences bar. Second, when will there be a FAQ entry?
