  1. Imagine... on Virtual Grid Supercomputer Goes (Partly) Online · · Score: 1

    Imagine a beowulf cluster of... oh wait.

  2. Re:Feeling kinda good about it on OpenSSL Security Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    I forget which SP I was running at the time, probably 3, but the day after the patch came out, I updated, or so I thought. It was a month later when I had to take down ZoneAlarm for a minute, that I got infected with Nachia. Oh, and the patch did show up as being installed successfully on windows update.

  3. Re:Stop inviting the government everywhere on Group Asks Gov't to Crack Down on Product Placement · · Score: 1

    I don't see anything wrong with product placement. Just like I don't se eanything wrong with Coca-Cola. Ahhhh, sweet Coca-Cola.

  4. Re:How odd... on Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients · · Score: 1

    The application still shouldn't *crash* when it recieves garbage from Yahoo. Any network application should be able to accept garbage from the host it's connecting to without crashing. Especially an IM application in this hostile environment.

  5. Re:A Network termination device on Remote Router Administration? · · Score: 1

    Sure that's not a modem? Or a bridge to be more precise?

  6. Re:ridiculous on Remote Router Administration? · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's not Flash, that's Java. Particularly of note is the status bar of the pop-up window that says "Warning: Applet window"

  7. Re:fairly common in my experience on Remote Router Administration? · · Score: 1

    Odd. I've never seen a flash-heavy interface for router admin. That would require quite a bit more flash memory...

    Isn't that why it's called flash memory?

  8. Re:Too funny! (and mod parent UP!) on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    What OS are you running it on?

    In all honesty, verisign only FU'ed DNS, not quite BAR though.

  11. Re:restricted airspace OT on Space Elevator Going Up · · Score: 0, Troll

    The plane that hit the pentagon also didn't have 50-70 stories to continue moving away from the crash site before being stopped by the ground. At the pentagon, any remnants of the plane would be right there.

    And will we be able to make fuel cells that big?

  13. Re:Will the REAL Robert X. Cringely please stand u on Cringely on Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Sad that the title to your post makes me immediately think of Eminem rather than whatever game show he took that from.

    No, he was talking about the police in Grammer, Indiana

    A hard bunch they are.

  16. Re:lesson on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    This virus doesn't take advantage of a bug, so there is no patch. SoBig merely relies on recipients running e-mail attachments. You may be thinking of Blaster and Nachi.

  17. Re:SCO has no strategy on Samba Team Points Out SCO's Hypocrisy · · Score: 1

    In the case you describe, they would have an internally consistent value system. Whereby, they would simply not be consistent in their respect of the GPL.

    So then... they would be consistently inconsistent in respecting the GPL?

  18. Re:Good grief! on RPC DCOM Cleanup Worm Appears · · Score: 1

    Slashdotter : Good Analogy :: Rosie O'Donnell : Attractive

    So would that be a meta-bad analogy?

  19. Re:Ridiculous on Satellite Views Of The Blackout · · Score: 1

    I live in Rochester and work in Buffalo, and the outages there were very spotty. You would drive through one intersection and the traffic light would be fine, and the next 3 or four would be out.

    I heard on the radio that 20-30% of Rochester had power, and Buffalo was slightly better off. It is this small percentage that accounts for the light that is being shown.

    Cities like Toronto, Detroit, and Cleveland must have been totally out. It would be interesting to find out why the outages in my area were so inconsistent. Maybe the proximity to Niagara Falls helped us.

    Just be sure to eat it quick...

  21. Re:Speaking of Money on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 1

    And maybe they can even rival their 33% detection rate in the good old days when they bought central point!

    Just watch out for the chklist.ms virus

    Are you saying people on slashdot actually RTFA?
