  1. scared of mirroring on Me Oh Me Oh My, Malda Gets Married · · Score: 1

    i got one of the 1.1mb images (a grainy 1600x1200), convert'ed it down to 640 at 90% quality (finally 30k), and Im still scared as all fuck of mirroring it on my server. I know it'll bring down my entire campus network..probably... ;-)

  2. Re:Barely a Fact. on An Unbiased Analysis of Gun Crime vs. Gun Control? · · Score: 1

    Please mod up my parent comment.

    Also, from the defenders standpoint, fighting someone without a gun gives you 2 immediate options:

    stay and fight or run away.

    Both are severly limited by the instaneous and absolute nature of a gun.

  4. power source? on 1.0GHz P3 In A CD-ROM Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    it says:

    Power Input

    does that mean its powered like from the same cables you put into a HD/CDrom? by the larger mobo sized one? or something else?

  5. Security cards for this exception type case == bad on Chemotherapy Patients Set Off Subway Alarms · · Score: 1

    Maybe hospitals could give out cards, and the security folks could phone the hospital for confirmation.

    Noo.....as strong as the weakest link remember? this makes the security cumbersome.

    Buying the patients a cab is the best idea, it keeps the system flowing.

    ...but, i find it really annoying that I havent found a program(s) that you can simply run on a remote system that you have access to, and it will tell you how exactly you need to configure your remote keys.

    Maybe such a program exists? maybe a more specific one for openssh exists that will even give you the exact commands to enter to ssh-keygen.


    is not offtopic. its an example of a security issue that stems from lack of an application for openssh (or otheres) to address usability.

    Another good example of this is the korean culture.

    Koreans also know how to work hard. You'll find plenty of chinese or eastern europeans and koreans that all arrived in the US at the same time. 5 years later, you'll find that many of the koreans are driving mercedes/bmw's and own their own businesses.

    Its actually quite funny, but I was taking a cab ride in Ft Lee NJ, a town directly over the bridge from New York City. The cab driver, a mildy average cocky american in his 60's was telling me how the Jews really made Ft Lee their town in time past. Now, it happened to be a big Korean area.

    This dumbfuck of a cab driver expected me to be angry at both cultures which had inhabited this area at one point.

    Sorry, but I also happen to be a hardworking american that understands the value of good hard and intelligent work.

    And aside from jews and koreans I know plenty of muslims,mexicans,canadians, english, christians, immigrants and non-immigrants who do well for themselves. Jews don't rule the country, americans do. And america was never white.

  10. same author as samurai jack on Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If its by tartakovski, i seriously think that this will be amazing.

    Samurai Jack is one of the most peaceful, and exhilirating cartoons I have watched. The director is not afraid of satisfying the modern day attention span. Rather, I find this show to be a truly artistic maverick in company with other more marketable shows. Example: in a given episode of Jack, you can easily find 2-3 minutes of pure silence, which brings out the mood of 2 great warriors resting midway through a battle, or a quiet brook trickling next to a snowy field where our hero is seen in the corner of the screen slowly making his way.

    Yet....the show is sorta cooky AND funny at times. Its VERY well done, as emersive as Aeon Flux for sure.

    I know the cartoon will be good.

  11. Guard Dragon Mode on Sanyo Announces "Banryu" Home Security Robot · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    i wonder what exactly Guard Dragon Mode does.

    Some psycho "gun-nut" like Eric Raymond (i AM quoting himself) can probably americanize the dragon with 15 lbs of double barrel action.

    Probably not something you'd want to beta test if you have a baby crawling around the house.

    One of the reasons im so unsatisfied with the tablet pc is that it uses a moving,mechanical,hardrive.

    With a delicate HD in it, the tablet pc really does not deliver much value over a laptop.

    Unfortunately, palms are far too low powered (in many aspects), and have far too small screens to be usefull.

    Still, given the type of day to day lifestyle I lead, I'd currently choose a well configured asian (since they really have better palmlike devices over there) see http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077. html

    You know, on this issue, you really depress me. You are clearly not of the academic nature, so your stance toward something thats probably way above your head really frustrates part of me.

    As long as you're not developing the idea, it shouldnt matter how it works as long as it works.

    I read the original article here as you did to. After all the mumbo jumbo about learning, i picked out one effective tip from the article on filtering my email: filter out HTML.
