  1. Re:Wow on Single-atom Laser Built at Caltech · · Score: 1

    Quantum computers can compile the non existant Duke Nukem Forever source code faster than you can press the button to start it. I've given up on DNF, I'm filing it along with all my SCO rumors about linux.

  2. Great.... on (Yet Another) Mobile Keypad · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Now I can type on my phone but intel has made it impossible to dial!

  3. Going about it the wrong way on Replica Flyer Foiled By Weather · · Score: 1
  4. The installer looks genuine too on Microsoft "Swen" Worm Squiggles Into Sight · · Score: 5, Informative

    Network Assocaites has some screenshots of the installer http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100662.htm

  5. Old idea new spin on Microsoft "Swen" Worm Squiggles Into Sight · · Score: 3, Informative

    This type of trojan has been around for a while. I've been getting fake MS e-mails for almost a year now. Official Microsoft statement that we give people on the phone "Microsoft never sends you files via e-mail unless you are on the phone with support personel and they specifically say they are e-mailing you something" 99.99999999% of the time, if MS e-mails you it will only direct you to their site to READ about the purpose of the patch and then download it. Also all MS security bulletins are digitally signed.

  6. Re:S3 3D decellerator on S3's DeltaChrome Graphics Chip · · Score: 2, Informative

    Gosh I remember my first Virge DX. It didn't support any of the 3d APIs, did it?

    It supported S3D. My old Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 came with several games that "appeared" to be accellerated by the card. One was a roller derby style game and the other was a special version of Descent.

  8. Re:Flash? on Review: Sun StarOffice 7 · · Score: 1

    Ok, now that makes more sense. But aren't we all supposed to hate flash? I mean that's what the Slashdot Collective keeps telling my coritical implant...

  9. Flash? on Review: Sun StarOffice 7 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would I want to export a document to Flash?

  10. No good for slashdotters on Microsoft Works on Search Capabilities · · Score: 4, Funny

    For example, users can ask their computers to retrieve all pictures that include a specific person's face or background."

    What if I'm searching for an alternate link for the Goatse man for posting on /.? There's no face!

  11. Just waiting for the Bush daughters on P2P Music Sharing Remains Popular Despite RIAA · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on, you know they probably download music... We just need a RIAA letter sent to them. :P

  12. Old dish projects on Using an Old Satellite Dish as a WLAN Antenna · · Score: 1

    You can get one of the big dishes and an echostar box from a pawn shop and try to pick up analog C and KU band channels. Some semi-premium channels are still unscrambled. AFAIK you can still subscribe to big dish services. Apparently a cleaner signal and no mpeg artifacts.

  13. They could have at least given links to the fix on New Microsoft Worm Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/

    This has all the information you need to protect from the current worms and FUTURE ones.

  14. Re:Dont like this trend on Final Fantasy X-2 North American Preview · · Score: 1

    But this is really test, isn't it? I mean how many people have wanted to have Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, Cid, Cid, Squall, Cid, Cid, Cid or Cid in a game again (aside from Kindom Hearts... ick)?

    Don't forget Wedge, or Wedge!

  15. I Invoke the Darwin clause on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 1

    People who produce children who murder should have their DNA removed from the gene pool. Sterilize the children and the parents. I might just sue them for producing menaces to society!

  16. Re:Patch delivery mechanism on Buffer Overflow in Sendmail · · Score: 1

    Yeah so many "versions" of linux I can't remember who has what some times.

  17. Re:*cough* on Buffer Overflow in Sendmail · · Score: 1

    Well think about sendmail. It is THE default mailer on almost every Unix(like) system. Solaris uses it, IRIX, probably AIX, it is just that well known. Sendmail has been on the internet longer than MS Windows. Numerous books are written about it, just about any college level Unix class will cover use and configuration of it.

  18. Re:Patch delivery mechanism on Buffer Overflow in Sendmail · · Score: 1

    My Redhat 9 does : "up2date -uv" (Provided you registered your computer with the redhat network) And if your running debian there's always apt-get .

    I don't know about 8.x series but RH9 also has a windows-like popup that appears on the gnome desktop that says if there are updates.

  19. Re:Patch delivery mechanism on Buffer Overflow in Sendmail · · Score: 1

    Yes actually if you have redhat you can do that. Completely auto updates are a paid service but you can get a demo account that e-mails you and you run up2date -u and it gets the updates. There's also apt-get update && apt-get upgrade or emerge sync && emerge -u system... Take your pick it depends on your distro. Set up a cron job if you don't mind it loading things on it's own.

  20. Re:could NOT care less you idiot on BIND Strikes Back Against VeriSign's Site Finder · · Score: 1

    Or possibly Spoiled Pork And Mucus. But whatever.

  23. If the RIAA can do it. on Russ Cooper's Internet Penalties Plan · · Score: 1

    If they can fine people who don't know their kids are downloading music. Sure lets fine virus spreaders. But how?

  24. Come on man! on Video Screen in Thin Air · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not only is this a dupe, its a dupe of a dupe! Of all people Taco should be aware of this.
