  1. Re:two words on GeForce FX 5200 Reviewed · · Score: 4, Informative

    It isn't an MX.
    The MX's had fewer features; this one is full-featured, just slower.

  2. Re:You'd like my license plate on Barcodes: The Number of the Beast · · Score: 1

    In the US, the state DMV's get lots of license plates refused due to this, but it hasn't stopped them from printing them with 666 in them (at least in California).

    they have $30 billion in cash. i think they'll be able to buy some other chances.

    Sure, maybe they can start paying people to use their software.

    You could have a new version of SMTP, maybe called SMTP2 that would refuse connections from an SMTP1 server. That would cause most people to change rather quickly, and might even be workable.

    Everyone would also have to upgrade their email clients (Eudora, Outlook, whatever), as they use SMTP to send outgoing mail, even if they relay through their ISP's servers.

    Does that mean he was the only one having sex? :P

    Sure, it's 1d10t :)

  9. Re:Morality, is it absolute? on Should You Hire a Hacker? · · Score: 1

    Also, he never destroyed any data, stole or embezelled any money, and, AFAIK, he never released the source code he downloaded from Digital.

    Although he definitely trespassed, he is not the monster many have made him out to be.

    However, Mitnick is an unrepentant repeat offender.

    Read the unpublished first chapter of his new book. (Google for it.)

    He HAS expressed regret for what he did.

  11. Re:Just call it Mozilla on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    They do call it Mozilla.
    Phoenix (and Chimera, ...) are OTHER browsers, based on the same Gecko renderer, etc., but are not the same as the Mozilla browser.

  12. This story is missing from the home page on Accelerated Aging Gene Identified · · Score: 1

    Why are this and other science stories not showing up on the Slashdot home page?

    Maybe he stole the Apple so he could play the original Castle Wolfenstein.

    Add a layer of encryptation to your packets. The government won't like having to waste extra time decoding your Slashdot traffic

    Sorry, Slashdot doesn't support HTTPS, and AFAIK they don't run a VPN for me either. :P

  15. Re:Ultraviolence in GTA3? on Carmack On Doom III And The Evolution Of Graphics · · Score: 1
    Ultraviolence in GTA3? What ultraviolence?

    Maybe they mean ultraviolence in the original sense; that of A Clockwork Orange... i.e. punks running around with clubs (or baseball bats) beating the crap out of everyone in sight. :)

  16. Dell will fail on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, what happens when Dell realizes they're not making enough money on printers and discontinues them?

    Where are you gonna get ink?

    Why buy from Dell when it's just a remarked Lexmark? Just buy the Lexmark, the ink/toner will be much more widely available, and probably less expensive.

  17. Re:Before we get carried away on New Power Plant Produces Both Energy & Fresh Water · · Score: 1

    Weston is right...

    I lived in Glendale in 1978 and 1979, we had "Smog Alerts" constantly.

    It's actually somewhat better now, believe it or not.
    But I still wouldn't live there if you paid me.

    Yeah... Too bad for the music division that the CE division has 5X the revenues.

    Apple Released a 100 GB iPod, to much fanfare

    ISTM This is a joke or a troll. Why has it been modded Informative?

    How does this help me get my 90GB collection into a portable device?

    So does Google.

  23. Re:Does it speak TCP/IP? on Modular Home Network PVR at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    Considering they say it can use storage on any computer in the house, it must speak TCP, at least on some of the modules.

  24. Peachtree Salvage in Atlanta on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if they're still around, but when I lived in Atlanta, there was a small chain called Peachtree Salvage.

    They were the exclusive sellers of damaged UPS (United Parcel Service) goods. If it got damaged (even just the box) by UPS, it would end up there.

    We got all kinds of great stuff there when I was a kid. When PacMan came out on the 2600, we got it for $6 instead of the $50 list. The box was damaged and the manual was missing, but it worked fine.

    Bigbook shows a "Peachtree Quality Salvage"... that is probably it.

  25. CHROOT on Professional Apache Security · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered why RedHat doesn't chroot jail things like apache, bind, etc.
