  1. I resent that! on Who Really Invented The Telegraph? · · Score: 1

    You know nothing of CowboyMeal!

  2. Oh, yes it will on AT&T Identifies Widespread Security Hole - In Locks · · Score: 1

    When my house was built, I'm pretty sure the builder had a master key at some point.

  3. /.ed on An Overview of the Boa Web Server · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And how's the scale-ability?

    Hopefully boa's scalability is better than the web server they're using now.

  4. Re:He's right about the fonts on Another Critical Microsoft Hole · · Score: 1

    Slackware forever. Honestly, what else would you trust when it absolutely positively has to be stable, secure, and easy

    BSD?

  5. Re:Questions on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 4, Informative
    Read the rest of the article.

    The bill would place a ".kids" subdomain under the control of NeuStar Inc., the Washington telecommunications firm that won the right to manage the ".us" country-code domain last fall.
    The Senate added a provision that would give NeuStar an automatic two- year extension of its contract in return for managing the ".kids" subdomain, a Dorgan aide said.


    They wouldn't deal with ICANN at all, they'd be dealing with NeuStar, who they made a sweet deal with:
  6. In other news... on EMI Promises Downloadable Music · · Score: 1

    EMI is unceremoniously kicked out of the RIAA.

    4. PDF!

  8. Re:They wrote it for a reason on The Web's Longest Disclaimer · · Score: 1
    Is anyone aware of a movement in the US to limit the use of complex legalese in favor of plain engligh?

    Engligh? Is that like engrish? Eh, that would probably be better than legalese anyway.

    At least more entertaining... "All your civil liberties are belong to us!"

  9. Re:probably makes it the most useless agreement on The Web's Longest Disclaimer · · Score: 1
    If you aren't bound to a mouse and are just hitting enter through the install, it is quite easy to agree to the accidental EULA.

    Of course, most of them have the keyboard focus set to "disagree" by default, but i have used some where "agree" is default.

  10. Re:So if... on ISP Sued Over Suspended Email Account · · Score: 1

    You know, some ISPs refuse to bounce email back to fight spam (it confirms the existence of a certain account).

    It doesn't confirm the account's existence, it confirms that the account is dead. How does knowing an account is dead help the spammers out, besides letting them have one less name of their lists?

  11. Re:It all boils down to: on Smart Pool Table · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. So poor, we didn't have a sink to piss in.
    2. The kettle calling the sink black.

    6. Profit!

  12. Re:Don't blame google for this on Google Complies with Law, Excludes 'controversial' Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How do you campaign against this law without breaking it in the process? Even if people in Germany and France wanted to change this law, they wouldn't be able to, since all their politicains would get arrested.
