  1. when I was kid on Google Looks to "White Space" Spectrum · · Score: 5, Funny

    you could tune the satellite to be almost on a station, right on the 'edge' of the station, and get around the blocking method they used for PPV... you would get a blurry picture but good sound. Great way to watch porn when you're a 12 year old.

    Don't take that away google. Think of the children.

  2. Re:Secure Platform without Anti-virus on Archive Formats Kill Antivirus Products · · Score: 1

    migration generally does not mean an entire re-write of everything from the ground up, which is what this would be.

    Cool. I need to run MS SQL server, it's the only one that my company's workflow software will run on. Also our enterprise app is all written in ASP. We also have lots of Exchange users. It would probably take years and years to convert all these things over to something else, probably with downtime and data loss.

    Your 'solution' may work for some, but probably not for most, and for the rest of us, thats what these articles are posted for!

    ... isn't a real-time scanner going to catch it when you try to extract/use it?

    Steganography is a good way to hide things from your Grandmother. I wouldn't trust it much past that.

    hey thanks a lot

    and I don't know what YGTBKM! means.

  10. im an atheist on Ancient Bones of Small Humans Discovered In Palau · · Score: 1

    and i'm sick of this sort of comment posted. not everything has to be a rip on religion. seeing how this is a science blog and i'm sure the overwhelming majority share similar views as you and I - can slashdot stick to discussing the merits of the science-type-stuff unless the article actually has something to do with religion? If it's about the creationism museum in Kansas, that's a different story of course. Or if you have a comment thats truly funny, then sure. otherwise I wish there was a (-1, Boring Cliche) tag. offtopic would work well I suppose.

  11. uhm what? on NVIDIA Doubts Ray Tracing Is the Future of Games · · Score: 1

    what does antialiasing have to do with anything? you can anti-alias just fine with raytracing.

    Because the general is in charge of a lot of important shit. You, not so much.

  13. Re:ITS NOT CENSORSHIP on Google Pulls Map Images At Pentagon's Request · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Doubt it. It's never been that way before, why would that change all of the sudden now? There's probably things from WW2 that are still classified. And not like it's the military - do you think you can waltz into an IRS office and demand to know everything they are doing? Of course not, you cannot view other people's tax information! Just as you wouldn't be allowed to attend a high level meeting between Generals... Some information is private, and if you think about it, often it's for good reason.

  14. Re:ITS NOT CENSORSHIP on Google Pulls Map Images At Pentagon's Request · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a little different when you're _in_ the military though. you are no longer a private citizen. they can order you to go take that hill, they can order you to go halfway around the world, they can order you to STFU.

  15. ITS NOT CENSORSHIP on Google Pulls Map Images At Pentagon's Request · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Most anything on a military base belongs to the military. Most of the buildings, most of the vehicles, most of the people - GI stands for Government Issue... Therefore in this case it is not 'censorship' in the least.

    Well I'll still do it, but I was hoping it would be more like this

  17. Legal Hacking... on Ask the Air Force Cyber Command General About War in Cyberspace · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just post a list of the stuff you want hacked and the more patriotic hackers will enjoy doing it for free.

    Due to the nature of hacking and what many people do to acquire such skills, they may not want to 'join up' and all that.

    But if you post a list of IP's that are okay to bring down, and networks you want information stolen from, with the understanding that the US will not condemn any attacks, and I'm sure more than enough people would do it for free.

    Is there anything like this already in place? Cause I got nothing better to do this weekend. Or most any weekend.

  18. Close, but no on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    Actually a dying Earth will engulf the Sun.

    By the time any of this happens, humanity will either have ascended or descended to a point where it won't matter anyways.

    Best technology for long distance travel? why cant you build huge star trek transporters and beam around the galaxy? why do you even need the spaceships?!?!??! huh?!??!? im going to get some crap about localized interference, magnetism, and stuff, but really, if you can beam something one inch, one mile or one lightyear really shouldn't be any theoretically different. oh and im drunk =D

    ... they, and everyone else already do. seriously, try it. i've done connection/load tests on many different systems and if you start acting suspiciously (lots of connects/disconnects, burst traffic (like p2p)), you get throttled down. DDOS prevention would be my guess.
