  1. internet broken on Example.com Has Changed · · Score: 1

    damn, i was using a hash of the page's contents in my custom password hashing function, going to have to update it for the new page now.

  2. mod security on Security For Open Source Web Projects? · · Score: 2, Informative

    i would definitely check out mod security. it has injection detection which is good for any web application and a open source one is no different.

  3. Re:Honest question on Verizon Hints At Scrapping Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 1

    it depends on how powerful the radios are on the tower. cell phone towers use special antennas to divide an area into slices which will have several antennas that only cover, say, 15 degrees or so. the further you are away from the antenna the wider the sector is, so they are run at a lower power to cover higher population dense areas.

    so to build up the cellphone network, you need to build more towers in population dense areas.

  4. Re:They should base it on the .com's already sold. on XXX Top Level Domain May Still See Use · · Score: 1

    fuck yeah im down for that. im tired of looking at a site and wondering what language it is in. the only problems with this would be countries that have more then one official language. it would be unclear what language it would be in. but some countries could use a nonation domain such as .ax for a swedish speaking finn's website. the other problem would be for languages which are not offical anywhere. such as Taiwanese or Esperanza.

  5. Re:Become a specialist on Conducting an International Job Search? · · Score: 1

    yeah learning the language is really important. if you can get a change to go over there and take language classes at university until you can get credentialed as knowing it you can easily get a job working as a language teacher. the best way is to contact the goverment education department and let them know you want to work for 5 years or so as a teacher and you will usually get citizenship out of this as well and that will help a lot when finding another job

  6. vpns on Computer Services for Students? · · Score: 1

    vpns - a lot more then what your proably willing to offer, but it is a good way to get administration practice and it lets people try all aspects of having a server. but i am sure if you some how managed to do this you would be reimaging a lot

  7. lame on Professor Sells Lectures Online · · Score: 1

    meh, i would be pissed if one of my teachers wanted to do that. but i guess its alright as long as he is not using any university equipment to produce the recordings. i guess it is still kind of a racket

  8. just lie on The CVS Cop-Out · · Score: 1

    actually i thank people for their sugestion and tell them it will be added in the next version. they are not going to read the change log anyway

  9. open source on Best Way to Port a Windows Game to Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    if your not looking to make money off of it, or dont mind other people using your code, the best way may just be to open source it

  10. Re:Way to kill it before it starts on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    meh, back in the day it used to be nice, but it seems now there wont be anything special about it. linux has grown a lot since back in the day and does everything as good, if not better, the beos. i definitly wouldnt spend 100$ on this, but if it ever released for free i would give it a chance

  11. code snipplet on Idle Loop Optimized · · Score: 1

    while(1) cout "/.\n"

  12. off the hook on Sources of Intelligent Audio for Commute? · · Score: 1

    off the hook is really good, and about as geeky as it comes, get it from 2600.com

  13. opengl on Innovation in Open Source Software? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    opengl!, seriously its a huge project and its to bad that it lost momentum

  14. new drivers on ATI Releases Drivers For X.Org · · Score: 1

    i noticed that these were alot stabler then the last release. I used to have a programming that crashed because of the drive all the time.

  15. solutions on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    its been said over and over but your best bet will be: vnc, ssh, or a null serial cable

  16. sh on How To Manage Your Home Directory? · · Score: 1

    why dont you just make a shell script and put it in bin that: moves your videos to ~/Documents/videos ... your music to ~/Documents/muzak ... ... txt files ~/Documents/writtings ... ... rpm(:P) ~/Rpm ... ... archives to ~/archives and you would be suprised how easy it makes stuff to find

  17. new windowmaker on Window Maker 0.90.0 Released At Long Last · · Score: 1

    this is great, everysince i have been using windowmaker ive been waiting for an update. And with a few themes you will truely have a awesome desktop. The new tab control is off a hook, and you can change the fonts now, which is more impressive then it sounds.

  18. Re:Interested on Lost Nuclear Bomb Found Off Georgia Coast? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sideshow bob "Dammit, Bob. There were plenty of brand new bombs, but you had to go for that retro 50s charm."

  20. Re:Using multiple DirecTV receivers on TiVo and DirecTV in a Cellular-Only Household? · · Score: 1

    i have directtv and when the person was installing it i asked him if i had to have it pluged in to a phone jack, he said no but you will have to plug it in when you want to order some ppv. I have 3 recievers and there are the newest ones they are offering and i have had nothing wrong with them so far including being charged the full price for each reciever.

  21. diffrent spots to park it on More Complaints About Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1

    I think the moon would be a good place to bury it. They said they were having a problem with moisture and I am pretty sure that there isn't that much on the moon. And in 10000 years it will be out of reach unless the ability to go there is rediscovered so they would be able to detect it and take caution.

  22. Re:well for starters on What Should a Community Computer Lab Offer? · · Score: 1
    noone will go into a computer store on there vacation- Oh wait nevermind.
  23. Re:Put the rat in the iron! on Hybrid Robot Uses Rat Brain · · Score: 1
