  1. More work than the work? on Pinnacle, Online Grades, Skipping School and More · · Score: 1

    Pulling off the original scam would be a piece of cake, so long as one ran their own DNS and HTTP server. The real problem, however, would be keeping the scam running. One would constantly have to update the page and keep thier parents from accessing the real one. Here's a thought: How about actually taking the time to do your homework? It would probably be less work in the long-run, and you wouldn't ever have to worry about your parents figuring you out.

  2. Re:Interesting... on Last-Mile Fiber Optic · · Score: 1

    One of my friends lives in an apartment complex that is networked, and they share a DSL connection. The downloads are pretty good (~30-50KB/s, Im on a modem so its good for me) but there's one problem: NAT. Your average surfer/email reader won't care about this, but its a royal pain when you feel the need to play games or use eDonkey. Id rather pay the extra $30 for my own connection and IP address.

    (c) To receive, disrupt, decrypt, transmit, retransmit, acquire, intercept, or facilitate the receipt, disruption, decryption, transmission, retransmission, acquisition, or interception of any telecommunications service without the express authority or actual consent of the telecommunications service provider.

    When the data that is being intercepted is still on the LAN, I am the service provider, and I give my consent to myself for this to happen. In other words, if its on my network, I am the service provider.

    Or the corporations will work democracy out and this will remain illegal.

  6. Re:Work at work on Negative Effects of Workplace Net Monitoring · · Score: 1
    I find the view that reading /. or making phone calls at work is "stealing" to be naive and simplistic

    When I worked at Radio Shack, there was a girl who the first thing she would do when she got to work was call her boyfriend long-distance and talk for several hours. Tell me that's not stealing. One night after an hour stretch of talking to him on a mobile phone in the bathroom, she walked out to find my boss standing there waiting to fire her, but not before she ran up the phone bill an obscene amount.

  7. Re:I bet this policy will change.. on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Imagine if you could on choose to drive 1 car in grand theft auto?

    I think it would be more along the lines of "Imagine if you could only choose to play as one person in Grand Theft Auto!"

    Picture this: Imagine if you had to go through life as only one person! You couldn't have your mule lives just sitting around holding shit for you! I cant imagine a life without my twenty mules!

  8. Re:uh, gee on Kid-Safe Domain Created · · Score: 1
    It sure is good to know that our children will be safe from being accidentally redirected to dangerous, kid-unfriendly sites like www.cnn.com when they're hanging around nickelodeon.kids.us.

    Who's to say there wont be a cnn.kids.us, more oriented toward its inteded audience?

  9. Kind of off-topic, but... on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 1

    I am very interested in creating a system like this (I have a box already destined for the job sitting in the corner). I'm curious to know what hardware/software you are using to do all this. The idea of an all-in-one recorder, playback, burner, etc... interests me.

  10. Re:Not quite. on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or if your using Windows 2k/XP you can pull up a command prompt and type 'ipconfig /flushdns' to flush the cache.

  11. Trains have other purposes... on Jet Turbine Locomotives · · Score: 2

    Trains aren't just for carrying people, you know. The real beauty of a train is its ability to haul very large loads over long distances. It can carry a vast amount of material from one location to another relatively quick.
