  1. Re:Great... on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 1

    Finally, a certification that I'm qualified for. I've been studying for this for the past 20 years!

  2. Re:First mistake on Desperately Seeking Documentation? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't exist?! What?!

  3. Re:once and for all, what ARE lightsabres on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1
    Could be. Could also be that you are taking it to literally. Sabre also means a type of sword not just the blade part. Besides, do you think "swordfish" means a sword made out of fish?

    No, that's a fishsword. Swordfish is fish made out of particle sword.

  4. Re:Queue the Transactions on Redundant Credit Card Processing Solution? · · Score: 1

    And what happens when that data gets comprimised? I really would get pretty pissed off if I found out my vendor was storing my CC info on its boxes -- no need. Can't authorize, too bad. Try again later. I don't think VISA would be too happy about that practice...

    Encrypt the credit card info (use non-symmetrical encryption). Store the private key on a box not connected to the internet at large. Transfer the encrypted numbers to the secure machine. Decrypt. If you don't want to transfer them unencrypted back to the network to authorize them, then do it manually. If you're making thousands an hour, you can certainly pay someone $10 an hour to type some numbers in.

  5. Re:TV for nerds? already got it. on TV For Nerds: Cable Science Network? · · Score: 1

    Comcast gives us NASA TV on standard analog cable here. My theory is it's a plot to bore us into buying their overpriced digital cable package.

  6. Re:Could get messy on SourceForge Donation System for Projects · · Score: 1

    Except that SourceForge sends the money to a PayPal account. So you end up paying them anyway.
