  1. Obligitory Simpsons Quote on Curse Your Way to Live Support · · Score: 1

    Oh, a sarcasm detector. That's a REAL useful invention!

  2. DNS Fix on Verisign Considers Restarting Sitefinder · · Score: 1

    Here's a fix to ensure that you don't have to use Sitefinder: Type domain names in correctly.

  3. rulers on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 1

    I'm just hoping that the trial won't involve rulers at all...

  4. Re:The US should try what Canada does on HP Discusses Anti-Counterfeiting Measures · · Score: 1

    No printers I know of natively support it either, but it's trivial to say, take a black ink cartridge, drain the black ink, and fill it with UV ink instead. I've got all sorts of black ink refilling kits for my cartridges, and they work fine, so it would probably only be a bit more difficult to refill with UV ink instead.

  5. Re:Easy enough... on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 1

    Of course, you have to be on the same LAN for that to work. Also, note that even then, you'd need it to be a non-switched network for that. If you had access to the machine it was running on, then why would you even care about getting access anymore?

  6. Re:I don't see how this is necessarily a problem on Armoring Spam Against Anti-Spam Filters · · Score: 1

    Well, people who don't use HTML email probably aren't the targets for spam, anyway. I'm pretty sure that everyone who'd actually buy things from spam are the kinds of people who know nothing about HTML, etc.

  7. Re:Macs for Crooks on FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs · · Score: 1

    OSX seems to have that now; they call it FileVault. I don't use it though, because I'm more paranoid of losing my data than someone else getting it.

  8. Re:Why cornered? on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 1

    But rats can be cute sometimes! Unless you're talking about scary mutant sewer rats or something...

  9. Re:I have debugged in my sleep on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 1

    Oh, yeah? That's nothing. Once, in my sleep, I fight off an entire army of Agent Smith clones, and then when I woke up, they were nowhere to be seen.

  10. Re:Shit- on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    That sounds vaguely like Daikatana...

  11. Re:Speed of Gravity on Double Pulsar Discovered · · Score: 1

    Hmm... That gives me an idea for an experiment. We blow up the sun, and then we determine whether or not it takes 8 minutes for gravity to stop, too. Sure, we'd all die, but at least we'd know the speed of gravity.

  12. First Computer? on First Computers · · Score: 1

    You know, I'm actually unable to remember my first computer. I started at a VERY young age. In fact, so young that my earliest memory involving learning about computers was asking my dad about how to use the copy command to write files from scratch (copy con filename).

    Sure, I have some memories of some computers I've used (earliest I can think of was a 286), but that's pretty much it.

  13. Re:Attacking the author on Mac OS X Security Criticisms Countered · · Score: 1

    To borrow a quote from bash.org, "Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

  14. Re:Not really on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 1

    OSS? Sound architecture? I thought we were talking about sound, not multimedia...

  15. Re:steganography isn't secure at all on Hiding Secrets With Steganography On FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've written a stenography utility once (called bmphide, doubt it's still available for download anywhere), and the noise that resulted from using it was hardly detectable, especially on photographs. Plus, to solve the security issue, I threw in a simple XOR encryption method into it... It didn't have any methods to determine if it was decrypted successfully, so the only way to brute force it would be to try the file after every password and see what happens.

  16. Re:Google-like... wait a second... on Webservice Debugs Linux Binaries While-U-Wait · · Score: 1

    Ooo, that's a good idea. Though I do wonder what would happen if you didn't have something like that...

  17. Re:Now we know... on NERC Releases Interim Report on Aug 14th Blackout · · Score: 1

    Near future? Matrix Reloaded doesn't happen until sometime around the year 2199 (IIRC)...

  18. Re:Uh... From scratch? on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 1

    Actually, with the way biology works, it'll be more like it changes its diet, and THEN discovers human skin is much more plentiful. =P

  19. Re:RPC worm (welcha!) on Yet Another Critical Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    One way to get around this without any sort of hardware firewall is to create an IPsec policy that blocks UDP 135.

  20. Cyborg Ninjas on Martial Arts Robots · · Score: 1

    They stole my idea of cyborg ninjas! I used cyborg ninjas in some cheap game I wrote a while back for a game-making competition. If only I had patented the idea before it was too late...
