  1. Re:The questions are interesting... on Air Force Cyber Command General Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1

    I believe that he was actually referring to the question being childish by giving a childish answer. The question wasn't formated well, nor was it thought out very well. It had a point, but it revolved around an immature view of the world. He was calling the poster a kid who didn't understand how the world worked, and I agree with him. It was a question asking for IP addresses to attack and a "License to Kill". He was calling a spade a spade and I found it very refreshing. I think that a better question might have been better if it put a better context. Currently, there is the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. There is the playing card deck of Al Queda enemies. We are currently at war in two contries against numerous groups, and we have economic sanctions with a number of other contries. Has the Airforce considered providing a plan that would give public lists of cyber targets or information requests that would be of interest. I don't know how successful this would be, but at war time, there have been many instances where civilians have been asked to help out. From buying war bonds, to rationing, to the draft. There are many people that would donate time or resources when givin a goal. In fact a better use of the civilians time might be to have a top ten list of software that the Air Force needs. Also, it may be very useful to have an anonymous place to send expoits or hacking tools that the Airforce might find useful. They of course would have the option of notifying the people that create the software, so they can be fixed, but you guys might use them a few times first, and having the tools available might be invaluable.

  3. Comment on Answer 10 on Answers From Lawyers Who Defend Against RIAA Suits · · Score: 1

    I would think that the easiest way to get around this is if you forget the password. If your all shoken up about the case, and forget, who can argue with that?

    So will the states get the money or the customers that wehre decieved?

    You can't really sue the government for loss unless they want to let you.

  7. Re:what i wanna know is.... on NASA's Cool Robot of the Week · · Score: 1

    cause inside the loop statement you can have an

    if(some error occures) { return 1;}

    It is actually a common thing to do.

    Even if this sin't in the code right now, the person designing the software might want to be able to have the functionality later, so they would want everyone else that uses this function to be ready for it when that feature is added.

  8. Could be wich to fund in the futur on All the (Final) Fantasy One Could Want in One Day · · Score: 1

    It could be that the two teams are in competition with each other for future funding and development time and this is there way of finding out wich one to proceed with and wich platform to pour their money into.

    Think how much caars would induce if your bike induced enough to tell about

  15. 44.1 to 48khz on Free CD-Quality Music · · Score: 1

    You are probably having problems with the audio quality becase you are using a less then good conversion program to convert the audio from 44.1 khz to 48 khz. This doesn't seem like a big deal but it really makes all the differance in the world.

  16. Re:Sometimes, and it can cause problems too. on Linux Kernel Code Humor · · Score: 2

    When in business has anything been fair? We don't all get the same pay, we dont' all have the same responcibilities, nothing in a company is equal... unless you are apart of a union or a communist/socialist.

  17. Linux Interaction Kit on NFS/NIS Recommendations for Windows? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Think of how cool it would be if HP, DELL, Alien Ware, etc. shipped all of their computers with a Linux interaction kit full of programs that would allow windows users to interact with Linux boxes using opensource protocals. The computers would still interact with windows boxes int he normal way but could use the open source methodes to.

    I think that DRM for a present is worse then coal.

  19. Re:big fish on MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones · · Score: 2

    Most only spam ISP's and public email address providers (hotmail, etc). They filter by domain so everyone with their own domain and companies with their own domain have far fewer spams.

  20. Because of the domains. on MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones · · Score: 2

    Most spammers go after domains that ISP's use. This way they get fewer pissed off people that have their own domains and no how to complain about the spam they get and won't buy anyhting anyways. Since most business email accounts are at the companies domain, they don't get as much spam. Plus people don't use there company email addresses ont he web as much.

  23. Firewire or USB2.0 on Developing a New Beowulf Architecture? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You might want to look into a custom solution using USB2.0 or Firewire. These can theoretically get you 300+ Megabytes per second (Limit of the PCI bus). It won't be an easy solution to pull off but it is definantly doable.

  24. Auction on Moore's Ants · · Score: 3, Interesting

    People should auction off the right to the name for plants and animamls to raise money for their protection and advancement. It would kinda make you feel immortal to have an entire speciese named after you... or at least make you want to spend money to protect it.
