  1. Re:Are they calling it DVDA ? on More on DVD-Audio and SACD · · Score: 1

    Damn, you beat me to it...

  2. Had two for a while... on Pocket-Sized RC Cars Hit U.S. Soil · · Score: 1

    Microsizers have been out a short time, and I've got two. They are available with various upgrade parts, the batteries charge in 45 seconds, and they're great for chasing housepets.

  3. SNORT - the price is right! on Using Snort Stealthily · · Score: 1
    You can't beat Snort for the price. I've evaluated the ISS products, and they're bang:buck ratio is not good enough. It was going to cost me $68K just to set up a trial system.

    For the cost of one NIC and some existing obsolete hardware, I now have a hardened Snort sensor outside my firewall. I can see all inbound and outbound traffic, which is logged to MySQL and viewed thru ACID. Not bad for about $30.

    Sourcefire (founded by Marty Roesch - creator of Snort) is releasing a rack-mount device that can manage freeware Snort sensors. Cost is about $15K. Hell of a lot cheaper than the alternatives! I'll be getting one of those soon... If you run Bastille security, with a little know-how, you can stealthify your Snort sensors to the point where they become invisible. I get scanned regularly, and nobody has yet found the IDS box. Me == happy!

  4. Re:Forget Mothra... on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    It's spelled "rochambeau" - FWIW.

  5. Flat Earth Society on Earth's Gravitational Field Is Getting Flatter · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe they'll settle for a flat gravitational field?

  6. Re:disposable culture on Hop-On Hops Back On the PR Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    America - just doing our part to keep the population under control by messing up the environment.

    Why are you implying that we have an overpopulation problem in the same breath as villifying American consumer habits? Two wrongs don't make a right, do they?

  7. Strangely appropriate QOTD on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    The QOTD "There's some entertainment value in watching people juggle nitroglycerin." certainly applies to the incredible hypocrisy demonstrated by the so-called entertainment industry. If this goes any further, they'll end up wishing they really had juggled nitroglycerin.

  8. Re:Hi-Res photo of Telstar 1 on Live Via Satellite · · Score: 1

    Where is the planet-destroying laser? Oh, not Deathstar...

  9. Re:How user friendly is your girlfriend? on Is There Such a Thing as "Too User Friendly"? · · Score: 1

    Your girlfriend seemed plenty user friendly to me last weekend. >:)

  10. Re:Jingoist Europeans on 8128 miles Per (US) Gallon · · Score: 1

    [redneck]When yer number 1, everybody picks on ya cuz yer the big dog![/redneck] Seriously, the US acts like a clod on the world stage sometimes, but we have rescued or bitchslapped almost every nation in Western/Central Europe in the last century.

  11. Re:encrypt your harddisk on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you are hauled into court, the judge will demand that you turn over your keys/passwords. Failure to do so will get you slapped with contempt-of-court charges and a lengthy (open-ended?) stay in substandard government housing.

  12. Is it hacking when invited? on Moronic Hacking Contest Ends In Free-For-All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems a little ambiguous - if you are invited to hack, is that a crime?

    Granted, there are some thresholds never to be crossed. "Sure, you can shoot me, you won't get in trouble" etc.

    Nonetheless, I'd be sure to get written permission from the hackee.
