  1. Re:pick your poison on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 1
    Is it wrong that I am envisioning:
    • logging on to any computer (my workstation, a lab computer, etc)
    • opening the webbrowser
    • logging into my encrypted gExcel account
    • working on my spreadsheet
    • saving it
    • gService* updates logs
    • I log out.
    • UserB with Collaborative rights to the gExcel Spreadsheet logs in
    • Updates spreadsheet
    • UserB logs out
    • gService* maintains update logs showing changes for auditing purposes
    • gService* replicates stored data across several encrypted systems for backup purposes


    Suddenly, you have no need for local data storage and you lose the risk of losing data on faulty workstations. Data is encrypted. Data storage devinely complies with GLBA, SOX, Patriot Act, God, etc.
    You have flexibility to access your 'documents' from any computer on the Internet.

    *gService = Random name of google service that handles this...
  2. Your next Distro on Vietnam Going Open Source · · Score: 1

    Introducing the newest linux distro: Charlie. Certified Software for Pinkos.

  3. Confused...? on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    So wait, if you can mass produce dvd's that are "more sophisticated in design" than current dvd's -- for a rental fee of $1 or $2 bucks, then why cant a $15-$22 dollar dvd be produced for that? Even Microsoft will let you install a copy of windows OVER and OVER. I guess that the MPAA thinks that you should have to pay more since you can watch it as many times as you want by buying it.

  4. The clear reason: on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    I believe Eminem put it best when he recited: "... and Moby, you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 year old bald headed fag blow me, You don't know me, you're too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno ... " Every time i hear a Moby song I think of the miss butterworth on the syrup bottles doing slave labor. Oh well.

  5. The True Problem. on DRM Helmet · · Score: 1

    I had a really bad experience last night. I had huge plans of watching the Tyson / Louis Fight with several of my friends. We had ordered the program from our local cable service and as far as we know, everything was a-okay. Well, around 7pm, we started trying to watch fight and we couldnt "get" anything. We missed the entire fight. Why? Because of a problem decoding the stupid signal encryption. We legally bought the ability to watch the fight, and ended up getting screwed. My bitch about this helmet (and really any type of copyright protection device - especially PPV television) is that it is prone to failure. The industry should know that these helmets will be hackable. There is always a flaw. I'd hate to have a device fogging my view of something important (Wreslemania!) because of an "error" or mistake on its part.

  6. The Whore cost me 500 dollars. on Post-it Notes vs. Copy-Inhibited CDs · · Score: 1

    I am interested to hear of more Celine Dion contraversy on slashdot. Many of you readers might consider this off topic, but I would like to discuss what happened when I inserted my recently purchased Celine cd. Nothing abnormal. The machine played it and CDDB even got the track listing for it. It played perfectly. The downside is that I used my debt card to buy (aka experiment with) this disc -- and in doing so overdrafted my bank account. I was unaware of me going into the red (i am a poor broke college student) and ended up nearly $500 dollars in the hole because of this horrible cd. Pfft, and the RIAA wants to know why I dont buy cd's -- :)

  7. Summer Project on Netrek · · Score: 1

    I am wanting to develop a client / server type game system (possibly in VB) over the summer. I would like for it to look simular to Final Fantasy 2 (US) / Final Fantasy 6 (Japan) . Reading about the whole nethack, netrak has only further inspired me to write some code and try to develop some form of basic networked gameserver. I know this might be off topic, but if anyone is interested in helping or being involved in such a project, give me mail > craigc@spis.net.

  8. How does it work. on 3Com to Sell Firewall-in-a-NIC · · Score: 1

    Obviously a card of this nature will have to have some flexibility to it. If you wish to configure the card, say to deny an address, does it flash some form of memory on the chip or would the settings be put into the driver - software based? If its done through the driver, I'd rather just run some form of personal firewall software and use a $5 dollar NIC from pricewatch. Cool concept though.

  9. Ruining College Students everywhere. on More Final Fantasy Bits · · Score: 4, Funny

    It goes without saying that the release of both Lord of the Rings *and* Final Fantasy 10 during most college final weeks is a plot to undermine the youth of america. Oh well, I was destined to fail the finals anyways.
