  1. Where's the 'hacking OpenBSD' chapter? on Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh, there ISN'T one... Isn't THAT interesting.

  2. What, no John Norman? on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 2

    I'll write one myself, as soon as I work up the nerve...

  3. Whats in a name? on Network Associates Aquires Deersoft Inc. · · Score: 2

    Who cares what they call it?

  4. I don't need that kind of frame rate... on GeforceFX (vs. Radeon 9700 Pro) Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    When I show my pr0n at 209 FPS, it just spoils it!

  5. Do you know what the WIFE of the on Uncle Tungsten · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat said when she realized he had mistaken her for a hat?

    'You're putting me on'

  6. Well... on Prentice Hall To Publish Open Content Licensed Books · · Score: 2

    I read Using Perl 5 for Web Programming AND later dl'd the CD of it I must say the open source thingy works great with books.

  7. Never happen on Xbox Private Key Distributed Computing Project · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Looks like they smartened up after DVDs lame 40 bit key was cracked.

    If the encryption on the xbox is not broken (and it might be...) you will NEVER crack a 2048 bit key. If it took d.net 4 years to do a 64 bit key I argue that it will take 2^(2048/64) or 4 BILLION times as long to do the 2048 bit key.

    Find another path, this one won't work.

  8. Now why would they do that? on BSA To Join Battle Against DRM · · Score: 2

    It's seems that a go-to-where-the-evil-is business like the BSA would be all for DRM.

    It lets them restrain use of software. UNLESS, they are worried it will WORK and put them out of business!

  9. And so it goes on Droning On · · Score: 1, Troll

    The USA is sliding down the slippery slope to what it really wants to be, deep in it's belly: a xenophobic police state.

  10. This is going to get worst on FCC to Permit Complete Media/Telecom Consolidation · · Score: 3, Funny

    before it gets better.

  11. Hope no one else has mentioned this one on 1660 Diary Becomes 2003 Weblog · · Score: 3, Funny


    http://www.progress.demon.co.uk/Fun/AOLer-diary. ht ml

  12. Well lets hope on 1660 Diary Becomes 2003 Weblog · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The good stuff isn't lost to history - you never know how many great works are destroyed by censors. Did Shakespear ever recover from being Bowlderized?

  13. Re:Ok here we go on Turing Tests to Stop Spam · · Score: 2

    No extra hardware at all and everyone knows the isp guys can already read all your mail anytime they want to. No one expects anything but encryption to protect your privacy on the net.

  14. Ok here we go on Turing Tests to Stop Spam · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's time for my regular rant regarding PopFile and Bayesian excellence and how SPAM WOULD DISAPPEAR IF BAYESIAN TECHNIQUES WERE APPLIED AT THE ISP LEVEL!!!!

    And now, back to our regular show.

  15. I know what I'd like on What Should I Do With My Life? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd to be solvent when I'm old, and I think I'm not alone in that.

  16. The way this card straightens up on Radeon 9700 Pro: ATI Ahead · · Score: 2

    is that it's currently God's Own card until the next one comes along (Probably from nVidia) then it'll be crap.

    Repeat as necessary.

  17. That's wierd on Typewriter Keyboard Conversion · · Score: 2

    You'd think that there'd be LESS stress with an elecronic keyboard than a mechanical one.

    What am I missing here?

  18. Ok but on Robot Pharmacists · · Score: 2

    The robot is going to fill out the prescriptions totally perfectly until it fills one out totally wrong.

    And sooner or later this is going to happen. UNLESS every pill has a teeny weeny little bar code on it - and I can see this happening - sooner or later there's going to be a Its-A-Wonderful-life level tragedy.

  19. This is long overdue on Lab-Grown Steak · · Score: 2

    But I'm waiting for our obstructionist friends like PETA to start moaning about it.

    It'll take them a while though. First, they'll have to find some mealy-mouthed excuse to get upset about it and that'll take a while since it seems to be a win/win situation all around.

    Once they get THAT going then they'll have to work themselves up into a state of self-righteous fury to convince themselves they are doing the Right Thing and therefore It's Ok To Do Something Nasty. The SS did this too. So did Pol Pot.

    Finally, they'll have to slather a lot of bullshit over the whole thing to hide their true agenda, which is to destroy Western Civilization.

    At least they put nude girls into cages. Anyone who does that can't be ALL bad....

  20. And did he publish a paper on The Spam Problem: Moving Beyond RBLs · · Score: 2

    on getting his site /.'d into a little ball of slag?

    Seriously, I'll try and review the paper...

  21. Pretty soon on Requiem for the Disappearing Pay Phone · · Score: 2

    A lot of the young kids here on /. will be saying - 'I'm old enough to remember payphones'...

  22. Re:Klez - What kind of virus name is this? on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 2

    I thought he was the Klingon guy who wrote the original virus in the original Klingon.

  23. And how many on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 5, Insightful

    of these holes are exploited by adults who are quiet about it instead of big-mouth children?

  24. the GPL should be modified on Act Now To Sidestep A W3C Patent Pitfall · · Score: 2

    So that the code rights remain the same but any original data structure or algorithm in the program automatically go into the public domain.

  25. Don't we already do this? on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 1

    I figure that the browser caches all your recent data from the pages it visits and only requests the new stuff from the server.

    Of course, there must be some way of discerning exactly what is new stuff, so I figure the server and the browser have a little conversation regarding file names and time/date stamps.

    Of course, there's a lot I don't know about the Internet, so I could be completely wrong. I'd appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable than me straightened this out, please.
