  1. Re:Secure ATMS? Ha! on An Open Letter To Diebold · · Score: 1

    No one insures jars though. Any risk to your money due to poor banking software is imaginary as it's all insured. Just be sure to always keep your deposit slips.

  2. Re:RTFM on Neighborhood WiFi Security · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Until my ISP starts charging by the byte, I'm not very likely to be closing down my public AP. I block 139,445,25,etc, but otherwise, have at it.

  3. Re:5 Reasons Why Vista WON"T Suck on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1

    Easy on the logic. You'll scare off the lemmings.

  4. Bigger problems on World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things? · · Score: 1

    Once we reach the point where we're handing of the job of teaching kids things like ethics to video games, I suspect we've got bigger problems than the content of the video games.

  5. Re:My pet peeve! on Firefox Memory Leak is a Feature · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that info.

  6. Re:RTFA and all that on Security Flaws Allow Wiretaps to be Evaded · · Score: 1

    "What this probably means is that the FBI will phase out these older systems a little faster than they intended to (mostly due to the publicity-- they were probably already aware of this vulnerability, but didn't care much because "the bad guys" were not aware of it)."

    Sounds like a good reason to score extra funding next year. The FBI is probably glad they're publishing their findings.

  7. Re:Purdue had this on Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips? · · Score: 1
    It was entomb.
    You can get it here

    file entombing - 3.9
    unrm, libtomb, entomb, rmfile, preend

    Helps recover lost files, must be installed and configured before you run "rm". Also you must have source to the programs you want to protect (viz. rm, mv and cp).

  8. MOD Parent UP on Rental Home Wireless Networks? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I use this solution myself, it works GREAT!

  9. Re:Mary on Mad Penguin on Ubuntu 5.10 Preview · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    2 vots for "troll". Who exactly am I trolling ? Two moderating hookers named Mary ?
    Give me a break.

  10. Mary on Mad Penguin on Ubuntu 5.10 Preview · · Score: 2, Funny

    For $40, Mary will show you what it is.

  12. Re:I Must Point Out... on Ohio Cracker Confesses to Attacks For Hire · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The cracking is implied. DDoS nodes don't grow on trees. Well, not literally at least.

  13. So what on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 0

    Then call the damn phone number.

  14. Re:"non" lethal? on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 0
    * Wonder if making people feel like they're being burned alive counts as torture?

    If making people feel like they're suffocating doesn't count, I can't see why burning would.

  15. Re:How does forced obsolescence promote public goo on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 0

    Having watched the whole thing on CSPAN last night while fighting insomnia. The idea is that spectrum needs to be recovered for use by radio. First responders are slated to get a huge chunk of it. Fire, ambulance, police, etc. That would be the promotion of public good.

  16. Re:I Dub Thee too, "Sir Troll" on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 0

    Compiling for 686, or more specifically a certain CPU type, is not as simple as increasing the compiler optimization level. The standard Linux binary is compiled for the generic 386. Having done some HPC work, surely you know it is advantageous to use the capabilities of 686 if you can.

  17. Re:I Dub Thee too, "Sir Troll" on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1

    This is insightful why ?

    Code optimization for a specific CPU features isn't make believe. It's a very real advantage. Hence the inclusion of the compiler instructions to do it. Clearly you've not done any HPC work.

  18. Re:Dupe on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 1

    My favorite is the people who post "DUPE" knowing full well that the thread won't be going away from it. At this stage in the posts life, does it even matter that it's a dupe now ? It's not even as if people will go to the original thread and read the comments there.

    "Also, our Cisco VPN doesn't work right, and UITS soundly refuses to fix it."

    It works fine, I use it daily.

  21. Re:It all depends on the size of the group support on Will Open Source Solaris Kill Linux? · · Score: 1

    "Would Intel, HP and Novell, let alone IBM, be willing to support a platform that is still linked heavily with Sun, rather than one that is truly "free"?" They will if you pay them to. IBM will support anything you are willing to pay them to. I would wager that HP is the same. Cheers, -BeesT
