  1. Re:the Chipmaker??? on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 1

    Just like how fast processors and excess memory has allowed for programs to become sloppy in their code writing and optimization, adding this feature within a processor will allow for even less experienced programmers to code large projects.

    Just think about all of the impressive stuff that goes on in embedded systems, and think of the size. Then think of all the stuff you do on you computer and look at the size.

    I'm not worried. I run OpenBSD. :)

  2. Sims on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 2, Funny

    Heh, see even the US goverment plays SIMS games :D

  3. CodeRed on The World's Safest Operating System · · Score: 1

    Concidering my webserver still logs %5c..%5c attacts from codered, i beleive there are many windows boxes out there that are hacked and people still dont even know about it.

    I would have to say this is definately not accurate. Although it does show that the people who are running the linux boxes (and probably BSD boxes) know when their system had been compromised.

  4. Re:$1 Trillion debt and counting.. on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 1

    1 Trillion is low-balling it.

  5. Re:Faster than ever on Is the CAN-SPAM Act Working? · · Score: 3, Funny

    what shocked me is when my mother logged on to AOL, she started getting popup windows (not IM's) that were for sexy webcams and such.

  6. Re:Whatever happened.... on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    The cars don't lock until you pass the breathalizer also?

  7. Re:laws on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    Every bar should have one, or even personal ones.

    We had a breathalizer once at a party, it then became a game of who could blow the highest BAC....heh that was a fun night.

  8. Re:Results on Yahoo! Switches Search Engines · · Score: 2, Funny

    whats really bad is searching
    site:yahoo.com on google yeilds 14,100,000

    while
    searching site:yahoo.com on yahoo only yeilds 7,580,000


    (Side note: yahoo's url is also longer, this will take more time to type in on IE :D)

  9. Re:paying for email... on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 1

    I am against paying for email. Not because I'm cheap, but because then I feel that paying for IM would be next and who is to get this money?

    Second, while I'm at it, I'm against blocking dynamic IP addresses. I can't send my mother email from my server at home, I have to use another account because AOL blockes dynamic IP addresses.

  10. Re:At least.. on A Way to Save Hubble? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'd agree. Seems like quite a waste to watch it fall in the ocean.

  11. Adv: on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I never understood what was wrong with making spam okay (to a point) as long as they have an Adv: in the subject line. This still allows other people to get it, along with an easy way to filter.

  12. Re:Not monoculture, just laziness... on Microsoft, Monocultures, Security FUD & Other Fun · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Knowledgeable computer users don't suffer from email viruses ...

    Since we are relating things to biology, you could say this is survival of the fittest. People who are willing to change their bad habbits on the internet will 'survive'.

  13. Re:Great Idea! Let's go for it! on Sonic-powered Mosquito Larvae Eliminator · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just as a side note.... won't this eraticate the dragon fly population. Their larvae eat mosquito larvae...

  14. Foul Play on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Shamefully we will now see how much foul play occurs when a non-open source peice of software becomes available.

    Especially one that is supposed to run 90% of desktops.

  15. Re:The shit will hit the fan + Mirror on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Allthough driver 'wrappers' and the like would be awesome for the linux community. think of the lawsuits that would start if linux 2.7.0 had much much better support for NTFS and the like.

    this actually can hurt us more than help.

  16. Re:A total of 8 CDs? on Fedora Core 2 test1 Released · · Score: 1

    Just a guess... It will be the core of RHat Enterprise Edition

  17. Re:*BSD ports system? on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure there is a switch to make sure *BSD looks into the prebuilt reposatory before it decides to build a port.

  18. FP on Data Storage Leaders Introduce New Wares · · Score: -1, Troll

    My hardware is so fast i got first post :)

  19. Re:Names on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    or ThunderCats

  20. Re:Mirror on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Well it seems that mozilla is down, along with their mirrors list. BitTorrent should always be up, no matter what load.

  21. Re:Something non-geeky on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would have to second this comment. I think if my gf bought me a HD or a thinkgeek t-shirt i would be kind of disapointed because those are things that i would just go out and buy if i need. I would rather have something that would remind me of her whenever i see it.

  22. GPL'ed on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 2, Funny

    How can they think that MyDoom was written by a linux user, was there a GPL header on the top? :D

    And destroying Zion....

    :D

  24. DirectTV vs Time Warner on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    In milwaukee I have Time Warner cable because our apartment doesnt allow satalite, and I have had nothing but problems with noise on the line. They have come out to fix it a few times but nothing seems to work. Seems at peak times the higher channels become blocky and sometime dont 'download' for a few seconds.

    OTOH, my DirectTV in chicago has only had a problem once and it was the biggest storm in chicago i had seen in awhile.

    I believe that cable also has satalites, its just not at your home, its at the recieving station. So if there is a big storm, or the watch dog at the cable companies broadcaster sneezes :D their satalites will go out also.

  25. Question on Court to Hear Landmark P2P Case · · Score: 1

    Maybe someone could explain this to me...
    What is the difference between recording a song off the radio and giving your friend the tape and recording the song to your harddrive?

    is it just the sheer numbers at which someone could copy. Because i didnt think there was a copyright problem with recording off the radio. but i could be wrong.
