  1. Re:security on Reflecting on Linux Security in 2003 · · Score: 1

    At least someone understood. This other reply to my message was apparently too pissed by the grandparent to see what I was saying.

  2. Re:Old run down neighborhoods are great places on Proper Disposal Of Old PCs? · · Score: 1

    I don't live in a terribly wealthy area, but a nice one. My friend and I used to drive around in my pickup and just grap computers. No joke, in the summer you can find at least one old computer every week. Some had usuable stuff, some don't. I have working TVs, VCRs, all kinds of crap. Most ends up going back out in my garbage... but sometimes you find something cool. Just don't be that guy on a bicycle trying to ride down the street at 5am with a roll of old carpet across the handlebars. That's just sad. :)

  3. Re:security on Reflecting on Linux Security in 2003 · · Score: 1, Funny

    "favour"?

  4. Oh yeah... on Mitnick Calls for Hacker Stories · · Score: 1

    This is clever...
    Uhm, I rooted the primary node on the carnivore system... here's the complete process I used. Yeah, I am l33t.

    Now, please send check to:
    Name B. Real
    123 Myhome St.
    Normal, IL

    Might as well tell them what time you're going to be home too.

  5. Re:How to.... on Making Your Own Board/Card Games? · · Score: 1

    And make certain to remove all instances of the letters
    "S", "C", and "O" in the manual or play cards. Just to be on the safe side.

  6. Re:Pattern? on Narnia to be Created in New Zealand · · Score: 1

    I know it doesn't exactly work, but I'd put Weta in the list too.

  7. I'm thinking Japan.... on Giant International Fusion Reactor Draws Nearer · · Score: 1

    Seriously, everything the French manage falls on it f'n face. Let the Japanese house it. That thing will do 150% of projected output. I think it has something to do with doing Tai-Chi before work every day.

  8. Re:This doesn't actually fix the problem on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Well, having trouble posting code here... It works though. Use the javascript button example in the article and just make the spoof page target a huge address. It crashes IE.

  9. Re:This doesn't actually fix the problem on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Test Exploit Yeah, IE Crashes.

  10. Re:fp on Downloadable Origami Motorcycles · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Um, he doesn't speak for me?

  11. Did you ever think you'd see the day... on RealNetworks Sues Microsoft Over Antitrust Issues · · Score: 1


    When Slashdot would be rooting for Microsoft to use
    legal muscle to annihilate a smaller technology company?

    The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
    Was that a pig??!

  12. Important note... on Wal-Mart Music Download Service Launches · · Score: 1

    Walmarts downloads are from their edited cds, which suck. I don't wanna hear poop instead of shit... what the artist intended.

  13. Re:Dear Real on RealNetworks Sues Microsoft Over Antitrust Issues · · Score: 1

    I'd actually like to read that. I was asking someone the other day why we actually need to brush out teeth if people got away with not doing so before toothbrushes. Not that I've stopped brushing, or anything. :)

  14. Oh... on Wal-Mart Music Download Service Launches · · Score: 1

    and another thing about iTunes... I can't use it on Win98 apparently.

  15. Hmm... on Wal-Mart Music Download Service Launches · · Score: 1

    I don't know what they do have, but they don't seem to have anything by offspring or prodigy. How is that??

  16. Re:88 cents! on Wal-Mart Music Download Service Launches · · Score: 1

    Wait, Apple wasn't the first music store?

  17. Re:Dear Real on RealNetworks Sues Microsoft Over Antitrust Issues · · Score: 1

    I'll sign that.

  18. Re:The price of uncertainty. on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    "Here we are on earth. If we screw it up, we have nowhere else to go." And if we do move to a different planet when this one is trashed... everyone's just gunna complain that we're like those aliens in ID4.

  19. Ok, on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    Sooo.... what? I'm less likely to get skin cancer?

  20. Re:Cypherpunk is a stupid name on Clay Shirky: RIAA Succeeds Where Cypherpunks Fail · · Score: 1

    This is where people shout, "It's the criminals, stupid!"

  21. Re:How about the people who hired the spammers? on New York Spam Ring Lawsuits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what we need is legislation making the seller responsible for their online marketing, subcontracted or not?

  22. Re:Finally, on New York Spam Ring Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    That's nasty. They're like fungi-infested wire brushes.

  23. Finally, on New York Spam Ring Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    a good lawsuit.

  24. Bubble?? on Off-The-Shelf Online Music Stores · · Score: 1

    "I wonder when this bubble is going to burst."

    Uh, done and done.

  25. Re:As much as I would like to see... on Iraq's Open Source Possibilities · · Score: 1

    This is a good point. It's hard to find legal copies of software in many places, as pirated ones at $1 a copy are so prevalent. I know a guy who was setting up optics business in Ukraine... and they couldn't get their hands on retail box copies of MS software, but dupes were like coasters over there .
