    Bravo, bravo!

    > Start a drinking game where everyone increases their drinks parabolically. (or alternatively: everyone drinks when someone says "Archimedes.")

    That's actually pretty cool :D

  7. Re:I wish the world would use GPG more on Wikileaks Sidesteps Publishing Public PGP Key · · Score: 1

    I use GnuPG to sign my outgoing eMail. I also use it to encrypt files for me and other friends. From time to time, to transfer sensitive information like passwords.

    Also, I mixed OpenPGP with HTTP and created Enigform (firefox extension) and mod_openpgp (apache module, formerly known as mod_auth_openpgp).

    There you go, more things to use pgp with.

  8. I can't wait for the COMBO! on 'Mind Gaming' Could Enter Market This Year · · Score: 1

    Imagine a star-wars (r) game using both Wii-like physical movements for the lightsaber, while using the headset to use the Force at the same time!!!! OMGICIC! (OhMyGodI'mComingI'mCommmmmmmmmming!)

  9. YEAH! on ISP Dispute Causing Connectivity Issues for Customers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    FIRST COMMENT!

  10. Vatican, Church.... on Statue of Galileo Planned for Vatican · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should just shut up and read Small Gods by Terry Pratchett:

    "Gods on the Discworld exist as long as people believe in them and their power grows as their followers increase. This is a philosophy echoing the real-world politics of the power of religion and is most detailed in the novel Small Gods. If people should cease believing in a particular god (say, if the religion becomes more important than faith) the god begins to fade and, eventually, will "die", becoming little more than a faded wispy echo."

  11. Re:Stallman is still around? on RMS Steps Down As Emacs Maintainer · · Score: 2, Informative

    > Obviously you have never met RMS. I did. More than once. Even had dinner with him (here, in Argentina). And I agree with you. I know what you mean.

    Heh. How long until ThinkGeek start selling the ShowerBuzzer with Self-Power option? :P

  15. Re:license on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, for example, you have Courier-MTA, which is a lovely and complete GNU GPLv2 package that closely follows standards and has lots of wonderful features, and a great filters API. For instance, you can implement SPF, Antivirus, Greylisting, several useful whitelistings and spamassassin in 5 minutes just by installing the pythonfilter package. http://www.courier-mta.org/ Although, to be fair, it lacks some milter-like filter API.

  16. Re:obligatory on 'I Was a Hacker for the MPAA' · · Score: 1

    AMEN! (without any religious sense)

  17. Re:This is HIGHLY illegal in the US on eBay The Vote · · Score: 1

    And since when illegality was an issue for politicians?

  18. Re:Cell? on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 1

    +1 on that. I was just going to say the same. Yours being the first reply definitely says my thought was kinda shared by the rest :P

  19. the answer... on How To Configure Real PC Parental Controls? · · Score: 1

    is education. I mean,e ducate the mother. clearly she's a little bit out of date.

  20. Re:shrug. another death of old media. on Sys Admin Magazine Ceases Publication · · Score: 1

    Heh. I'm so lucky. This is the 2nd time a magazine ceases publication as soon as I get to publish an article (I wrote the 'OpenPGP for http' article of the last SAMag issue).

  21. Re:Official PostgreSQL fanboi thread here :-) on MySQL Ends Enterprise Server Source Tarballs · · Score: 1

    Yes. When I was asked to coordinate a team of designers and programmers to create the first argentinian webmail, portal and news company (dot.com bubble), we analyzed ALL available FLOSS RDBMS. Even at that early stage, PostgreSQL was FAR superior to MySQL at the integrity and complexity (ie "sql standards it supported") and manageability levels. Of course, you had to tweak it for all queries, but that's what a good DBA does anyway :)

  22. Re:Fist on Typing Patterns for Authentication · · Score: 1

    If you want a "new" authentication method check out Enigform and mod_auth_openpgp which implements OpenPGP Signing of HTTP requests, which enables identity and data authentication, makes the whole user/password approach old age.

  24. Re:And? on Weakness In Linux Kernel's Binary Format · · Score: 1

    Oh well, what do you expect from a company that has zone transfers enabled? Of course, some would argue that closing axfr is security through obscurity... sure. For me, it plays as a script-kiddie-countermeasure to slow them down:

    shellcode.com.ar has address 0.0.0.0
    mail.shellcode.com.ar has address 200.42.47.10
    ftp.shellcode.com.ar has address 200.42.47.10

    dns1.shellcode.com.ar has address 200.42.47.10

    At least they used the good'ol zoneedit.com service.

  25. in other news.... on Kororaa Accused of Violating GPL · · Score: 1

    In other news, lots of people discovered the power of linux systems without the hassle of getting their ati and nvidia video drivers to work. Violation of GPL? Sure. Was a good thing? Most definitely. I'd rather have the source without blobs of all drivers, anyway...
