    Encryption is supported by transport protocol, typically HTTPS.

  2. Haunted Keyboards on Beware the Haunted Cordless keyboard · · Score: 0

    Saw this with a wired keyboard once -- before Ethernet, had a few dozen VT220 character-cell keyboards connected to a Vax 785 at the HEC in Tasmania. One of the terminals was working quite well, despite being completely unplugged from its terminal interface. All the cables were bundled together with cable ties and we were getting perfect crosstalk. This was in 1985 or thereabouts.

    Very pretty interface though.

  4. Dry ice is easy on Fun with Fog Generators · · Score: 0

Hold a hessian bag over the spigot of a CO2 cylinder (wear gloves) and crack the valve intermittently. You'll end up with a bag full of dry ice, created by refrigeration from the rapidly expanding vapour.

  5. Re:Why don't you just get a REAL operating system. on Mac OS X 10.2.1 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sigh...I miss VMS I think. DCL was a brilliant scripting language and i made a fat living off the system crashes.

  6. I Forgot... on Power Your AMD Via Tesla Coils · · Score: 1

    Must have some /extremely/ static RAM. But I think I want the big fan...
