  1. Re:Old tech works and can be repaired at sea... on Building The Navy Intranet · · Score: 0
    Do you think that an A-ganger on this sub . . .

    Incongruent, but still not as scary as a Nav-ET with a hammer.

  2. Re:Navy sub on Building The Navy Intranet · · Score: 0

    The reason that this equipment is so old and outdated is because it's tested and works. I sleep much better at night knowing our nuclear arsenal isn't trusted to the likes of modern, highly complex, and un-debuggable operating systems.

    I think you're misinformed. He was likely on board an Ohio (726) class SSBN, which is indeed nuclear powered and capable of carrying nuclear missiles.

  4. Interesting dichotomy. on Data Protection in the UK? · · Score: 1, Interesting
    If it's intellectual "property," then information wants to be free. If it's our personal information, it should be locked down like Fort Knox.

    Perhaps the answer here is this: Make Palladium/TCPA mandatory--but also make individual's personal information subject to the same sort of DRM. If I apply for credit, for example, the information I submit should be unable to be copied, forwarded, printed, or viewed except as I authorise. Similarly, my medical records at the hospital should be unable to be forwarded to anyone except the portions I designated that my insurer would have access to.

  5. Re:Wait to be in the receiving end.... on Blind User Sues Southwest Over Web Site, Cites ADA · · Score: 0

    Receiving end of what? Southwest didn't make the man blind. And he can still order tickets over the phone. What's your point?

    Just in case you didn't know already, that's two per ID. Think "crunch all you want, we'll make more."

  7. Re:Which anon sites are honeypots? on Anonymous Surfing? · · Score: 0, Informative

    And worse, as demonstrated by some posts here, people only use them when they feel they have "something to hide." Then the very use of them throws up a big red flag. It's like encryption: use it all the time, or don't use it at all--if you only use it for the "good stuff," the good stuff becomes that much easier to look for.

  8. Re:OSL on OSI Approves Two New Licenses · · Score: -1

    That's what I love so much about the GPL. It hoists the "intellectual property" folks with their own petard: if EULAs hold up, they're just as bound. If they don't, as you've pointed out, that's great.

  9. It's always important on Read a Good Word Processing Book Lately? · · Score: -1

    to ensure they have a good handle on the bindings of the two best word processing programs, WordPerfect and WordStar. There's nothing worse than running into someone who can't Shift-F7 or ^X^C where appropriate.

  10. Re:User-Moderated P2P? on Hearing on Hollywood Hacking Bill · · Score: -1

    And there'd probably be editors with unlimited moderation ability that'd mark anything shared by anyone they didn't like as bogus. Sounds familiar for some reason.

    About Hilary Rosen: Blumberg fucked her.

  12. What do I think? on A Universal Roaming Profile? · · Score: -1
    Sounds like a fine idea to me, what do you all think?

    I think that I wouldn't even put the password to my least useful Slashdot troll ID, much less anything remotely private, in the trust or care of some site I do not directly control.

    No, but I did see the point where it said that you're an insignificant piece of gutter trash.

    Uh, yeah, something like that. That's a nice argument technique--say you won, then throw out an insult. I'll have to remember that original and brilliant line of discourse.

  18. Re:Are they THAT blind? on Can Poisoning Peer to Peer Networks Work? · · Score: -1

    Thanks for wasting 5 minutes of my workday. I'm pretty sure I know what it resolves to, but I can only make it out for one letter at a time, unless I choose to treat the 3ples inconsitently. How about a hint? (I'm not a child anymore, so I'm having trouble.) TIA!

    They don't care because SSL's primary use is transport encryption, not authentication of remote sites. The whole security dialog for certificate problems is a scam to make money for Verisign, et al, which run a protection racket: "You wouldn't want anything bad to happen, like your customers' browserst throwing up a HUGE SECURITY WARNING when on your buy page, would you? I thought not. That'll be $1,000/year for your public key certificate."

    That's because, eventually, they hope to never have to sell you a permanent right to listen. Just like everyone else, the RIAA cartel wants a perpetual revenue stream from consumers.

  24. Re:ACCIS on Distance Education - Pros and Cons? · · Score: 0

    Danger, Will Robinson!

    They claim accreditation from the DETC, which, while a recognized accreditor of the U.S. Department of Education, is not an accreditor that traditional schools will recognize should you apply for graduate school or transfer before you finish a degree.

    I urge you to check out the FAQ on alt.education.distance thorougly; check out John Bear's guide from the library--educate yourself and make sure any program will fulfill your objectives.

    Good luck!
