    It kinda makes you wonder if aurora has any affect on the beam. (If that is the case, what would have happend during these recent solar outbursts?)

    By Computer College i mean a college that is 100% specialized on computer eductation, not providing anything else :-)

    Well, it was his first year, they hadn't gotten that far in network programming yet.

    >B) Explain to him that you can TURN OFF the damn >service...which is probably what whomever you sent >600 messages to did.
    There is no way to do anything when you receive a popup every 5 seconds. You can't type w/o loosing window focus. Makes disabling it rather difficult don't you think?

  4. Why didn't kylix sell? on Kylix in Limbo · · Score: 1

    Why use a commercial RAD-tool on a system that virtually SCREAMS develop-me and hands out free tools to do so? Nobody needs kylix. (If you got the skills to develop in Linux, you're way past RAD-tools)

  5. I wrote this really amusing application a time ago on FTC Shuts Down Pop-Up Extortion Firm · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wrote this really amusing application a time ago, it listened to the ports used for MS win msg, and if it received a valid message, it replied once every 5 seconds, 600 times with the same message + the text "\nQuit spamming ffs!". Quite efficient.

    Why? Well, my son is a student at a computer college, and he was sickin tired of people thinking that broadcasting MS windows messenger popus was fun, so he asked me for a tool to repent the spammers.

  6. full HDDs? on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Since when is Bill Gates a security expert? on Gates: 'You don't need perfect code' for Security · · Score: 1

    ;; I dont even see why this is news. No code is perfect, especially at the OS level. If you think about it abstractly, what gates is saying is that security should be layered, so you have multiple filters protecting you.

  13. Is this really *that* good? on Land Warrior Army Suits Simplified, Linux-ized · · Score: 1

    If window crashes, you reboot, and then it's fixed. This happens fairly often, once a week or so.

    If XFree86 crashes, your entire computer freezes up and you have to ssh into the box to X11 it (alt. reboot). This happens like once every 5 years. But still, it is quite some mess to get youself out of, especially when you're fighting a war.

    My question is: did the data arrive safely? To burst data in high speed is one thing, to make the data actually arrive OK is something completely different.
