  1. Re:1/3 disks, 2/3 bloated computer on Building a Budget Storage Server · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think the $100 for the LCD display is worth it, especially to give you info like load, environmentals and performance if you run a headless server.

  2. The truth about Scientology... on Columnist Threatens to Sue Blogger · · Score: 1

    All you ever wanted to know about Scientology: Operation Clambake

  3. Re:$50 million? on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 1

    Hmm, for many companies, this would be considered a years worth (or much more) of profit. Nothing to sneeze at.

  4. Bluetooth shall be remembered in history on Is Bluetooth Dead? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bluetooth is dead! Long live Bluetooth! (First post too!)

  5. What's next, dipswitches? on Memory Activity LEDs · · Score: 2, Funny

    ooh, all the pretty lights....

  6. Re:Xtree on GTK+ TTY Port · · Score: 1

    DOS is dead! Long live DOS!

  7. Re:This could go on for a while... on RPC DCOM Cleanup Worm Appears · · Score: 1

    Nachi kills the active worm in memory and then removes the msblast.exe file. It then downloads and installs the microsoft patch (no worries if it gets the wrong one, eh?). Then when you reboot, you will not have the "vulnerability" because you have been "patched (and owned)". Bad thing if you ask me.

  8. Re:Frankly my dear on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 1
    I hate the fact that it doesn't handle MIME messages properly and doesn't play well with HTML.

    Sure, no viruses are a plus, but a well sanitized back-end keeps those at bay anyway.

  9. The good get consumed yet again... on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 1
    Yet another good company with a great product that gets consumed by a hum-hum company. Novell had plenty of opportunity to jump into the Linux world but snuffed them everytime.

    What does Novell think it can bring to the table now, aside from squandering great products?

  10. Big deal... on 11-Pound Model Plane Vs. The Atlantic, Again · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bah, a plane is easy. I want them to try to fly a model helicoptor across the big pond...

  11. Re:1 false positive is not acceptable. on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 1
    Why would it be useless if it had a false positive? Where does it say that email is reliable?

    This is not the USPS and your email will not be delivered in the event of rain, snow, sleet, and/or hail.

  12. Re:your first mistake on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 1

    Security through obscurity doesn't work. If process of "greylisting" is sound, it wil survive any scrutiny given to it. From what I have read of it, it looks pretty reasonable to implement.

  13. Re:GoToMyPC.com? Aaargh! on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1

    GotoMYpc.com is a "reverse" proxy that allows you to get to your system, remotely, through your corporate firewall. Sneaky little bastard is bad! bad! bad! It takes more to expose VNC to access remotely if your corporate firewalls think it is a bad idea (which they should). No wonder we blackhole the entire gotomypc.com domain...

  14. Re:A beginner's guide to masturbation on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1

    No, but you do need to be properly equiped...

  15. Re:Social Engineering is all but unstoppable on Social Engineering Still Best Way to Crack Security · · Score: 1

    What is more distrubing is that these "sheep" that willingly give away their private information don't have the brains to think that they could just give out private "disinformation". How is someone going to know that you gave the correct password unless they try to use it?
    Shesh, the gene pool is polluted...

  16. Re:disturbing ramifications... on LCD Display/Image Capture Device · · Score: 1

    One possible useful use of this technology could be in biometrics and authentication. Let the screen scan you and then log you on.

    If you move away from the screen, lock it! If you return and are the correct person, unlock it.

    Lots of cool uses!

  17. Re:Breaking News on Sell Your Computers, Keep Paying MS For Licenses · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be more like "Those computers are not sold! Those are propagandist lies! You did not sell them. They are right here in front of you! Those computers are committing suicide on the walls of the city!"

    OMRON = MORON? Hmm... only time will tell....

    But will it run LOGO? A LOGO within logo running LOGO... Imagine that...

  20. Re:I hear ya! on My Short Life As An Unintentional Porn Spammer · · Score: 1

    Many broadband ISPs are scanning for open mail-relays now. Time-Warner does this and the send you a polite email explaining the problem, if they find such a relay and to fix it immediately. After that, you get shutdown.

  21. Re:Not all ibooks are the same... on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    I have an 800Mhz iBook (white, dual-usb) that I purchased in Novemeber and I consistantly get 3+ hours out of battery.

  22. Re:+4 Interesting?!?! on 11 Digit Dialing Comes Home to New York · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Nothing says that the IPv6 address space can't be carved out on geographical boundaries, which would simplify routing significantly.

    And Mobile phones don't necessarily conform to geographic boundaries. When you roam out of your home area, the cell network has to know where you phone is and route it accordingly. An incomming call gets routed to your home area, then routed back out to your phone. Not much difference than IP routing...

    I keep mine on someone else's computer for safe keeping!

  24. Re:yes on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    So does anyone know of cryptographic filesystem tools that are portable across Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX? Say I made an encrypted volume, burned it to CD and I wanted to be able to load the volume on my OS of the day? Is this possible?

  25. Re:So the PC's are faster on Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison · · Score: 1

    Actually, there was NeXTSTEP/i86 ages ago. And on HP and on Dec Alpha. i86 sucked the worse of all of them, I used all the different distributions. Then again, 486's were common and Pentiums high end. I guess it is all relative...
