  1. Re:they can never prevent this happen on When Sysadmins Go Bad · · Score: 1

    Yep, there's no real difference between the sysadmin, with full access to the system and the head of security, with all the keys and access to the video camera feeds in the bathrooms.

  2. Engineering Sites? on Seeking Interesting Sites When Travelling the World? · · Score: 1


    I've got to say that as for 'Engineering Sites', what about some of the more well known ones like, say, the Valley of the kings in Egypt - The reconstructed temples raised from the Aswan (spelling?) Dam - The Ruins of Rome - the Castles of Europe etc...

    Space launch sites, high-speed rail lines, container ports, technology museums be damned - go for something with some staying power!

  3. Source Drivers on Problems With OEM ATI Cards And ATI's Linux Driver · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is probably a very good argument for non-binary, truly open-source drivers...

  4. Re:No polygon replacements. on Stippling As Fast 3D Technique · · Score: 1

    I think the key point is that transparency is slow to calculate, and when you can just simulate transparency by dithering/stippling the image then the computer can do it without too much work. That way you don't need a high-end workstation to visualise the scan, and the CPU cycles can be much better used elsewhere.

  5. Redsheriff = MSN Australia + more! on Slashback: Mutuality, Transport, Spyware · · Score: 2, Interesting


    FYI, NineMSN (Australia's own big brother presence on the web, and the default exit page for Hotmail from Aus) also uses Redsheriff.

    So does Suncorp Metway a BANK!!!

    As such, microsoft now knows where I bank. Scary.
