  1. Fear Invoking Statement on Local Area Security Linux 0.4a · · Score: 1

    At the Nessus site:
    "A security scanner is a software which will audit remotely a given network and determine whether bad guys (aka 'crackers') may break into it, or misuse it in some way."

    It fails to mention that Nessus maintains a database of all security violations that can be parsed by Hackers in the know.

    WAAAHAAAHAAA... (cough) (cough) (cough)

  2. Stare it right in the eye on Surviving Tornadoes · · Score: 1

    ... mean ol' tornado

  3. Little Robots Hand Out on Inside SAIC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Imagine one of those robots (depicted in the article) approaching you with its menacing video camera peering at you. What's the first thing any sane person would do... labotomize it (and in the process gain a free iPAQ).

  4. Stock in Manhole Covers on the Rise on How Would You Move Mount Fuji? · · Score: 1

    Thanks to you /. link, znminmet.com is now upping production of their manhole covers by a factor of 100 based on the recent increase in the number of hits to their site ("it was just a matter of time til the world realized that they can't do without our amazing manhole covers").

  5. I knew a girl... on Energy From Vibrations · · Score: 1

    well, you know where I'm going with this one.

  6. Re:Stupid Slashdot Tricks on "Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading · · Score: 1

    This is just another example of the time-travelling aspect of this story!

  7. The problem really is on Games Workshop Tries to Crack Down on Internet Sales · · Score: 1

    that darn ruler doesn't scale well to a computer monitor. With minitures, how can you effectively gauge your movement range, missle fire, etc?

  8. yacc is back on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 1

    Woohoo... and I thought that four years ago when I was instructed to use lexx and yacc that I was using antiquated technology. But the whole time using it I kept hearing my professor from ten years back saying "someday you will need to know this."

  9. Corporate Outrage on "Super-DMCA" Outlaws Ph.D. Thesis · · Score: 1

    Holy crap for brains, Disney is now a state of its own with senator and all. I'm about to go crazy-go-nuts!

  10. 2600 on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are you, or have you ever been, a member of or in anyway affiliated with the 2600 club of which they named themselves after the phone frequency that you used to gain free access to the network?

  11. Did you use Protection? on Anger as a Software Design Philosophy · · Score: 1

    Depending on if you had a firewall enabled or disabled you may need to insert a step:

    make depend

  12. Where's Waldo on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 1

    I can seem to find the duplication anywhere in the combined pictures. But, I was never any good at those Where's Waldo books or the Magic Eye thing for that matter.

    Anyone find the dup?

  13. Re:Smells Fishy on Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, thanks for breaking that to me...

    The language is irrelevant, therefore it is the $'s that solidify the decision.

  14. Smells Fishy on Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "Code examples are given in Java and C# where most appropriate for the given pattern, however most examples use Java."

    C# huh. Seems a bit slanted to me. And I really enjoyed his refactoring book and talks at the Software Developers Conference in 2001.

    Man, first we lose Stanley Lippman (co-creator of C++) to the dark one, now the great Martin Fowler. Somebodys getting a big kick back for this I'm sure.

  15. Bummer on A Positive Outlook on the Software Industry · · Score: 1

    I "found out what I am worth" from the site and apparently I am worth LESS than what I make.

    I like my job. I really really really like my job.

  16. iPAQ on HP To Sell And Support Red Hat Linux · · Score: 1

    Would be nice to have an iPAQ that ships with Opie / Familiar (minimal Linux distributions with GUI specifically for PDAs) rather than have to burn it in ourself. Take a bit from Pocket PCs pocket...

  17. Root Mean Square on RMS Turns 50 · · Score: 1

    If RMS is 50, then Richard Stallman must be 70.72 (this being the peak value calculated by dividing 50 by 0.707).

  18. Re:Intelligence and Wisdom on Ask Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    Duh, intelligence is a necessary attribute for Wizards and wisdom is for Clerics and Paladans.

    Look it up in your players handbook!

  19. Missed the beat on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 1

    ... damn lag!

  20. Re:Connexions is actually from Viasat on In-flight Broadband Internet Access Trial's Success · · Score: 1

    Actually, ViaSat developed the airborne rx/tx system and the ground rx/tx system. The antennas and routers / hubs and WiFi were developed elsewhere.

  21. Re:How? on Linked: The New Science of Networks · · Score: 1

    "How does information spread through society?"

    through Slashdot, of course.

  22. Pretty Low-brow on Decrypting the Secret to Strong Security · · Score: 1

    considering the guy co-wrote one of the most important cryptographic algorithms used in most key exchanges.

  23. All I can say is on Speak & Spell Hacking For Fun And Profit · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...wow (and their was much rejoicing).

  24. Now to locate it on Exploding Star May Be Seen From Earth · · Score: 3, Informative

    location

    If only we could mount some lasers on stars to project those helpful constellation lines.

  25. Safety Issue on Mandated Regulation/Certification for Computer Repair? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "An automobile mechanic is certified and licensed because there are safety issues that can be fatal when a mechanic performs their duties improperly."

    Yeah, well when I am playing BF1942 and get shot up due to a poorly responding NIC driver or a fragged drive I want some sort of accountability. It IS a safety issue.

    If for nothing else, do it for the children.
