  1. Re:Their business model sucked on How the USPS Killed Digital Mail · · Score: 1

    paytrust took over paymybills.com a long time ago. they do this service for your bills, but you have your vendors send the bills to a special address rather than your home address. It is about $11 a month but you save on time and stamps when paying bills.

  2. Sure, it's not iillegal..... You will beat the rap on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    but you won't beat the ride.

  3. buy an old S10 and convert it to electric on DIY Hybrid Car Kit · · Score: 5, Informative

    there are plenty of people doing nice electric S10's for under $10k including the donor car. The 40 miles round trip per charge is almost twice what I need.

  4. Re:Not true on Americans Refusing To Wait For Mainstream EVs · · Score: 1

    I think that has already been done with the Toyota RAV4 electric model.

    But, the patent for the large scale NiMH battery production process has since been sold to..... guess who?

  5. KO (coke) used VMs for threading problem on Virtualizing Cuts Web App Performance 43% · · Score: 1


    In the late 90's I heard about CocaCola in Atlanta using virtual machines to increase the number of users per Lotus Notes server. When running Lotus Notes servers on Windows they found that they ran out of threads even though the procesor and disk load were not maxed. By running linux on the HW and running multiple Windows VM's for Lotus Notes server they were able to have more users per physical box.

    At the time they were running out of server space and power in the server rooms so there was a rule that one server had to be sunset before another was added. By adding multiple virutal machines per server they were able to increase the number of users w/o adding more physical servers.

  6. How does the saying go? on Nasty Bad Men Are Using Encryption · · Score: 1

    When encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will use encryption...

  7. Does anyone know what OS this runs? on Sneak Peak: 3Com's New Audrey · · Score: 1

    Does it run PalmOS or CE? Any idea what processor is in it?

  8. Re:Instead of outlook viruses on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail? · · Score: 1


    that would be awesome! an outlook worm that sends farts to 50 people in your address book!

  9. arent DVD recorders already avaiable??? on Why DVD Encryption Crack was a Cinch · · Score: 1


    "I would expect it could also delay the advent of recordable DVD, because it'll give people a medium to write these hacked video files."

    too late?

  10. Re:Cloning NT is a problem? on MSN Lists 10 Dumb Things NT Users Do · · Score: 1

    From what I remember, Cloning the SID's causes a problem in workgroup authentication. If you are using domain's it's not an issue. go here for more info:

  11. Where's the party? on Will Expiration of RSA's Patent Unencumber SSL/PGP? · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where the party is going to be on Sept 20th 2000? I thought I remembered cypherpunks or someone hosting a bash when the RSA patent expires.

  12. just like taxes on E-Paying Speeding Tickets · · Score: 1


    the easier they make it for them to take your money, the less you'll fuss about them taking it. but no matter what.... they take... and take...and take....

  13. I (and a friend or two) agree! no GPL! on Slashdot T-Shirt Design Contest · · Score: 1


    I thought about ordering the t-shirt with the copyleft symbol on the back. Although I praise the GPL, I didnt order the shirt because of the big nasty looking license on the back. If enough people agree, maybe we could get a batch w/o it?
