  1. Re:What is wrong with women? on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As someone who has a masters degree, I would like to point out to you that not all 9th graders are idiots. You are a fool to assume so, in fact he probably has a better insight into this than you. So I label you as "IGNORE ignorant user". Although, he might want to quit saying he is in 9th grade if the subject were not about 9th graders.

  2. Re:Almost Absurd on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 1

    Why not just use the HD Cache? I mean some of those have 8mb of space. It's not like it's doing anything THAT important.

  3. Better than Biological Authentication. on NTT's Cool - Human Area Networking Technology · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The biggest market I see for this (other than the obvious marketing/spy novel stuff) is user authentication. People like myself fear bioauthentication because, well if someone steals your identity, you are pretty much boned.

    With this system, you can have a separate heavily encrypted key for each device you touch, and it can be changed if the need arises.
    Death to all passwords!

    You could know who entered each and every keystroke!

  4. I hope the budget in decent support. on Los Angeles to Consider Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    While I find this to be very exciting, I hope that they use SOME of the saved money to add to user support. They will need it for at least the first year or so until users/admins are familiar with the new systems.

  8. Great... Another thin client for the home. on Resurrected Full-Screen VoIP Phones · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Fire a up a server with multiple x-windows sessions, put these around the house.

    Sprinkle in a HTPC..

    add a pinch of x10

    You have a hella integrated house.

    Actually the HTPC could be the server.. sweet.

  9. Re:We need a self-localizing map application. on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    Due to the effects caused by line of sight, signal strength can vary greatly by moving a few feet one way, than go back if you continue in the same direction. You would need a 3d spacial wifi map of the city for that to work if I am not mistaken.

    although, it's not uncommon for me to be mistaken.

  10. Re:Now you too can be arrested for war-driving... on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    And unauthorized entry to a computer network, depending on how it's looked at and how you do it.

  11. Now you too can be arrested for war-driving... on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I am cool with it, keep in mind there are some possible legal implications to wardriving.

  12. Three rules safe. on Household Emergent Behavior? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We need to start implementing these in the code. Seriously. Safety quickly becomes a concern in complex systems.

  13. But can it detect my boss coming near me? on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 1

    Just plant a 2.4ghz bug on him?

  14. Re:Also useless for accountability on Password Security Panned · · Score: 1

    Thats why you reprimand/fire people for sharing passwords. You should make the policy on this VERY clear.

  15. Re:1-2-3-4-5 on Password Security Panned · · Score: 1

    Hey, what a coincidence, that's the combination to MY briefcase.

  16. Passwords are a treatment, not a cure. on Password Security Panned · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Passwords will always be beneficial in helping to establish accountability.

    Passwords are less about keeping people out and more about making people accountable.

  17. Re:Pyramid on Climbing up the Search Ladder · · Score: 1

    Not exactly,

    a pyramid can work, because not all people will join.

    SEO's will be limited in how many people can be on page 1.

  18. Re:CSS problems? on MSN Search - From A UI Perspective · · Score: 0, Redundant
    We have also gone from a table based layout to a CSS powered layout. Granted, we were not able to hit complete compliance with standards. We still have some validation errors (about 130, the last time i checked) in the W3C Validator. We still have a couple of accessibility issues. All we ask for is for people to look at the page as a work in progress.

    Well it's not technically Linux...

    But have you seen the GNU logo? Scary looking thing it is.

  21. OK, I will place my fot in my mouth.. on Mad Penguin Launches Slackware Handbook Project · · Score: 4, Informative
    OK it is similar to a wiki mixed with slashdot.

    So much so that well... they said it best.
    "Think of it as a wiki of sorts. All of the contributors are capable of editing and adding to the work of others on the project." said Doxtater, "This will ensure that the documentation is of the highest standard". Mad Penguin says that the new site is currently in operation and ready for the general public.
  22. Re:Not true.. on Mad Penguin Launches Slackware Handbook Project · · Score: 0, Troll

    Comparing this to Wiki, is like comparing Slashdot to FARK.

    Seriously.

  25. Re:Creepy stuff on EFF Asks How Big Brother Is Watching The Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I also do not like the idea of being monitored for my internet activity, I think we as a community should develop better tools to secure our own protection if we are afraid of being tracked.

    I truly do not like the idea of me being put on a terrorist watch list for reading liberal publications, but I choose to read them anyways.

    Alas, I am less of a coder and more of marketer.
