  1. use a virus like id on Using Spyware to Report Pirates? · · Score: 1

    id didn't creat this.. hmm...

  2. I've figured this sort of thing would happen on Talk About A Security Hole, Go To Jail? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When doing wireless security assessments, I've noticed neighbooring companies with unencrypted WEP access points, but I don't bother telling them because of this sort of thing.

  3. Sir, they've jammed our radar! on US Military Develops P2P Wireless Network Sniffer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    *lick* strawberry too...

  4. If you need a commercial product with 24x7 support on Three Snort Books Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative

    Check out Symantec's ManHunt. Besides getting great support, this uses open source software (snort) and now runs on Red Hat Linux!

  5. Re:Sad.. on One Last New Episode of Futurama · · Score: 1

    The state of the Simpsons has created an influx of support from the academic arena. I've seen classes in college that solely discuss the psychological aspects of the Simpsons. Sounds silly? http://www.psychologytoday.com/current.asp

  6. off topic but great non the less on Slashback: Picnic, Pistol, Doggedness · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    http://www.airtoons.com/toons.php?toon=15

  7. umm.... on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    how could SCO charge someone $699 when the law hasn't declared SCO the IP rights?

  8. I don't know how much cash SCO has in the bank... on SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    But its well known Red Hat has ~300million dollars. Their partnership with IBM and others will help them a bit, to say the least.

  9. Re:Is Red Hat big enough to fight? on Red Hat Sues SCO, Sets Up Legal Fund · · Score: 2, Informative

    Interesting point. I just recently went to a partner-only meeting at IBM. Surprisinly, there was a Red Hat rep who was talking about the alliance between the two. RedHat is taking steps to have a few models of the xSeries servers certified with Red Hat enterprise 3.0 (when it comes out).

  10. Re:What is the downside? on Time Warner Cable NYC Begins DVR Distribution · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have had the PVR from Time Warner for roughly three months. There are a few channels I've found which brings up a box saying it is not allowed to be recorded if you try to record. Channels like Cartoon Channel in Spanish, Music on Demand, Local Radio, and I'm ASSUMING HBO and other premium channels.

  11. i did tech support 5 years ago on Growth Job Sector: Freelance Technical Support · · Score: 4, Funny

    and after 6 months, i was on the brink of insanity and would take my anger out on friends and family. mom: why isnt sound coming out? me: you stupid cunt, you have the sound muted, dont you see the red circle with the slash going through it on the speaker icon? jesus you are so stupid..

  12. RIAA on MP3 Creator On Sharing Music · · Score: 1

    I think comments relating to his stance on the RIAA would be more interesting

  13. short topic on Science Faction · · Score: 1

    lets try to keep it this way - maybe its because i have A.D.D, but if they get too long i dont even read more than the first sentence, i just click on comments

  14. 1984 anyone? on Piracy Deterrence and Education Act Introduced · · Score: 1

    Its scary to think that a few years ago I didn't consider the U.S to be like the book/movie 1984, while I'm sure many paranoid weirdos thought big brother was watching them do everything for the last 20 years.

    Now, on the otherhand, I'm getting more and more worried as new laws are being passed. It's only a matter of time until we have police huts on every second block asking us to report any violators and ISP's are required to use government proxies to filter out "evil" information.

  15. Wireless will become popular ... on Truck Stops Get Wireless Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    so they can go in the back trailer and, and um... surf with privacy.

  16. Possible blackhole observatory on A Supernova In Red/Blue Plaid, Please · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From what I remember in Astronomy class, the only known way blackholes are known to form are after a supernova explosion. This can make for an interesting study on blackholes.

  17. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Investigating Artificial Black Holes · · Score: 1

    BLACK HOLE CREATES YOU

  18. Great place to get started on Getting Started in Network Security? · · Score: 3, Informative
  19. since the topic has a quote... on Getting Inside Einstein's Head · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. --Albert Einstein

  20. i thought... on Destroying Nuclear Weapons with High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    I just finished an astronomy class, and from what I remember about neutrino emissions (in relation to supernovas), don't neutrinos simply go passed mass as if it wasn't even there? As far as I know, the only way to stop neutrinos is to use CCL4(sp?), and even then, they have to have close to 100 million gallons of it in massive tanks. When the off chance that a neutrino is stopped, it converts the CCL4(sp?) to argon, and then the scientists must dump the entire tank and use helium to lift the argon. I don't see how this technology is realistic.

  21. IBM better be careful on IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft · · Score: 2, Funny

    If SCO brings in RIAA, half the lawsuit will have "copyright infringement violation" in it and the lawsuit will go in the quadrillions.

  22. I just gave a speech on evil ways of the RIAA on Hilary Rosen from RIAA will write Iraq's Copyrights? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Did you know that there is a 2% surcharge on all CD recorders sold that goes directly to the RIAA, and a 2% hidden tax associated with the AHRA that is collected by the RIAA to give to artists, yet only roughly 36% of that 2% goes to the artist. www.boycott-riaa.com

  23. Hmm on U.S. Sides with Record Labels Over DMCA Subpoena Powers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So who will the RIAA go after when a computer in a 7-person household using NAT to share bandwidth downloads an mp3? If a minor downloads the music, are the parents liable?

  24. Radio Stations on New XCOR Rocket Engine Passes First Test · · Score: 2, Funny

    This will boost the demand for XM Satellite radio, since it will be the only radio frequency to reach the moon

  25. Monorail Episode.. on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 1

    Mono means one, and rail means...rail.
