  1. Re:Karma Ho on Seventeen Years of Tetris · · Score: 1

    Too bad the thing assumes Netscape and IE are the only browsers which implement Javascript.

  2. then try to block their scans on RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa · · Score: 1

    I noticed that my isp periodically scans me. So natuarally, I just collected the ip addresses (they use the same ones) and set my firewall rules to drop them. Gave me a little peace of mind.

  3. My favorite quote... on OpenBSD 3.0 Honeypot Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    My brother's girlfriend Danyel gave me this purply long skirt thingy. It is soo cool. I would wear it to school tommorow, but there are these kids in the loccer room who hate gay people. They say things like "Man, if you are gay I am going to kick your ass." And stuff like that. So, they would probably think I am gay or something and kick my ass. Welp, what are you going to do in this world these days.

  4. Epson Stylus Color 777 on Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Printer Industry? · · Score: 1

    Buying this printer was the worst decision for me ever. It drinks ink like it's koolaid; the color and black cartridges cost $25 and $30, respectively; the printer came with neither a usb cable nor a parallel cable; the ink cartridges have a microchip on them which doesn't allow you to refill them after the printer "thinks" they are empty; etc... All of this for $99, and I was naive enough to think I was getting a good deal. In fact, I bought my mother one also! Anyway, I recently got a Samsung ML-1210 laser printer for $200 (minus $50 gift certificate). Won't be looking back.

  5. Re:CEO cashed all stock on Oracle Investigation Grows · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder what his intensions were and why he did it?

    I can't confirm this, but I believe it's because he wanted the money.

  6. Why? on Alternatives to the CBDTPA? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Therefore my question to the slashdot community is what new legislation would you support which would make those who engage in online piracy easier to track?

    Could it be that the reason it is so difficult to find a reasonable answer to this question is that there is no reasonable answer at all? The "piracy laws" already exist, and are applicaple to digital piracy. No new laws were needed to shut down Napster. No new laws will be needed to stop some bozo from from selling pirated DVDs on the net either.

    By the way, if by "congresswomen" you mean Dianne Fienstein and Barbara Boxer, be sure to talk to them about some of the questionable "Sept 11 laws" they've been supporting.
