  1. Quantum Mechanics = Faster than light on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1

    I found this site claiming that messages can be encoded into light particles and sent faster than the speed of light by the use of quantum mechanics. http://www.npl.washington.edu/av/altvw75.html Imagine the bandwidth. (Mmmm Bit Torrent)

  4. Ingdirect.com.au on Phishers Using Keystroke Loggers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have an account with INGDIRECT - 5.45% PA (http://www.ingdirect.com.au/ When loging onto the ING Direct website, it asks you to type in your account number, and then it asks you to enter your PIN numbr by clicking on a Randomly generated keypad. So, even if someone was running a program that logs mouse co-ordinates as well as keyboard butons, they still wouldn't be able to log into my account because of the randomly generated layout of the number pad. Now, if the program also took screen shots... that's another story! :o)

  5. Utter BullSh!t... on New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features · · Score: 1

    Both players feature audio functions not seen in MP3 Player before, like SRS, WOW and TruBass.

    I bought a Korean made 128 MB JNC SSF-70 in Sydney,Aus almost two years now, and my MP3 player has SRS, WOW and TruBass. (So it's not a new "feature" by any stretch of the imagination) It also has a built in radio, and comes with voice and radio recording options. What's more is, that it also doubles as a USB Key!. And it's been around for ages!

    What's happening with the stories now-a-days?! - This one is total BullSh!t.

  6. Ghost Replacement on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 1

    Hate to say it, but I've spent plenty of time looking for Ghost replacements, and found none.

    Well, you haven't looked hard enough...
    http://www.altiris.com/home.asp

    Altiris can do the following:
    Reimage Machines
    Clone an image onto another machine
    Allow Remote Controlling
    Create "Rips" for Installing software
    Create Dos bootdisks with network support
    Capture user settings to migrate to another machine
    Run Scripts (For installing Patches etc.)
    Edit the HDD & Software Install Images, without having to create a new image from scratch (A Huge Time Saver!!!)
    Remotely Configure the machine's Netowrk settings (IP address, PC name etc.)
    Remotely Wakeup, Shutdown and Restart Machines

    Mind you, Altris costs a lot to license, but works a hell of a lot better then ghost in a corporate environment.

  7. If only SCO knew about this technology... on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

    If only SCO knew about this technology earlier... All of their Ex-Employees would have had their minds zapped. :oP

  8. Asset Navigator 3 on How Do You Manage Requests in Your Organization? · · Score: 1

    I have used Asset Navigator 3 in the past, and I think I'll be going back to it.
    As the name suggests, the program can also track a list of your assets. (Pretty Handy) :o)
    Well Worth a look!

  9. Prorater the cost of CD's on Universal Music To Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    I think CD's should be Proratered.The cost of the CD should reflect the contents of the CD.

    My girlfriend just bought an Evanescence album and it only had about 45 minutes worth of songs on it.

    Say the price of a full 74 minute CD was $29.95 (Aud) then the price of the Evanescence album should be proratered to $18.21(Aud)

    I'm sure some people out there on /. would agree with this!!!

  10. JNC SSF-70 on Samsung Yepp YP-55V Review · · Score: 1

    I own the JNC SSF-70 model MP3 player.
    It's very similar. The only difference is that it doesn't have the ability to record from line-in and it only has 128 meg of RAM.

    But, it Kicks Arse!!!!!!!

    It's awesome for travelling on the trains.

  11. Free DOS Emmulator on Masters of Doom · · Score: 1

    Get your hands on a DOS Emmulator such as FreeDos.

  12. Super Cheap anti dust solution on An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs? · · Score: 1

    Why not place a Chux wipe (or similar dish washing cloth with tiny 'breathing holes') over the exhaust fan of the power supply. While your PC is switched on, this hole pushes out hot air, but while your PC is off, it attracts dust very quickly.

    The good thing about these wipes is that there is enough room for air to still pass through it, but the dust doesn't.

    Cheap, and it works pretty good!
    Well under $500 (Send your change to me!)

    Note: You may also want to place something similar over the air intakes at the front of your case... Normaly at the front of your case at the bottom. Just make sure you buy the right cloths!!! They're the ones that look almost see through!
