  1. Re:No updates in 6 years? on FLAC Gets First Update In 6 Years · · Score: 1
    I dont see any changes. It looks just like the original.

    Wait...

  2. Re:If some government were doing that... on Cyber Attack From Inside India Hits Pakistan Government · · Score: 1
    The attack was in the form of a mass spamming of SEO related products, and download links for recently aired TV episodes.

    Source is obvious.

  3. Re:waste on USB NeXT Keyboard With an Arduino Micro · · Score: 2

    From what I have seen, Windows 8 might cure me of Windows.

  4. Re:waste on USB NeXT Keyboard With an Arduino Micro · · Score: 1

    I find the Windows key annoying, even in Windows. Model M forever!
    Not going to modify my NeXT keyboards... they are still connected to their lovely black hardware.

  5. The important question is.... on Team Fortress 2 Beta Patch Adds Files Referring To Linux Support · · Score: 2

    ... will there be Tux based swag in the MANN store?

  6. Re:Reflects poorly on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: 1
    But he recanted... so all is well...

    It shouldn't matter a wit, what Linus' political opinion is, any more than the brand of car he drives. But for some, it will.

    Its not like the community condones murder just because some people like/use ReiserFS... But some refuse to use the fs for that reason alone.

    In the end, his comments, or anyone else's for that matter, reflect upon the community only as much as the reader thinks they do. You cant change that.

    I SO wanted that to work...

  8. Re:Explains a lot on Exposure to Backlit Displays Reduces Melatonin Production · · Score: 1

    Aha! So the 'CRT tan' was not a myth!!

  9. Re:Unblock requests on The Optimum Attack Rate For SSH Bruteforce? Once Every Ten Seconds · · Score: 1

    Good luck paying customer service to handle requests to reset these blocks once your customers forget their passwords

    Typically there is an account 'lock' mechanism in place before the IP block. Something along the lines of answering 5 personal questions to unlock the account for n-more attempts, But guess who still gets to handle issues of not remembering 'Your favorite TV show ?' Especially when its been years since you answered that question last...

    once an attacker gets hold of a particular customer's username and intentionally fails to block the legitimate user.

    Not an issue, unless the attacker is at the same IP as the legit user.

  10. Re:set ban interval to 11 seconds. on The Optimum Attack Rate For SSH Bruteforce? Once Every Ten Seconds · · Score: 2

    just make sure all access is denied from that IP or IP range

    Which is exactly what denyhosts and fail2ban do.
    On failure, echo $IP:ALL >> /etc/hosts.deny

  11. Re:set ban interval to 11 seconds. on The Optimum Attack Rate For SSH Bruteforce? Once Every Ten Seconds · · Score: 2

    Additionally... automatically block any single attempt to login as root, admin, www, ftp, etc..

    5 fails in a row...ever.

  13. Re:This has been known on Scientists Discover Link Between Trees and Electricity · · Score: 1

    No kidding. For example, high ozone concentrations in forests is decades old news.

  14. Wow...That was difficult. [/sarcasm] on Bing Search Overtakes Yahoo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the only thing keeping Yahoo in the Search market are the various software packages that try to push the Yahoo Toolbar during install, and ISPs that use it as the their default Homepage during setup.

  15. Re:This problem is quite common. on Institutional Memory and Reverse Smuggling · · Score: 1
    Because the real problem is in fact employee turnover.

    Exactly. I have a small stash of engineering design models and proto-boards which I saved from the scrap heap. I cant count the number of new engineers whom I have rescued from reinventing the wheel, by showing them our previous versions of it.

  16. Re:Interesting idea on Theoretical Shoe Inserts Could Power Your Gadgets · · Score: 1
    "Theoretical Shoe Inserts Could Power Your Gadgets"

    To me, this reads very similar to 'Theoretical fusion reactor could power your city"

  17. Re:Not prior art on Apple Patents Portrait-Landscape Flipping · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they would like to see my Canon digital camera... it is far older than any iPhone, and has this functionality.

  18. Re:It is almost like.... on Playdough For Fun and Profit · · Score: 1
    There are only three ways I know of to make a diode. You can use semiconductors, quantum tunneling, or the old vacuum tube method.

    Which of these three do Selenium rectifiers fall under?

  19. It is almost like.... on Playdough For Fun and Profit · · Score: 2

    ..breadboarding, with bread dough. When I first saw the pics, I thought they had found a way to simulate semi-conductor doping with the different colored dough.

  20. Re:Tempest, Battlezone, Missile Command are the wo on Why Classic Video Game Revamps Must Disappoint · · Score: 1

    Nothing compares to the hell of replicating/emulating the 49-position optical joystick used in Sinistar.

  21. Re:Tempest, Battlezone, Missile Command are the wo on Why Classic Video Game Revamps Must Disappoint · · Score: 1

    I have yet to find a good spinner for playing Tempest with MAME. The optics in converted mice cannot handle the speed required, compared to the dedicated hardware of the arcade cabinet.

  22. Re:Lemme Guess ( / First TI Arduino Hater Post) on Arduino Music Controllers With Horns, Finally · · Score: 1

    No, it sucks because it is a "Someone built and X with a Y" article, where Y is simply screwed onto X, and we should be impressed....

  23. The 9th Wonder of the World [citation required] on The Petition to Classify Wikipedia a "World Wonder" · · Score: 1

    Just put that on the home page and be done with it.....

  24. Capes are Dangerous! on Officials Say "Capes For the Unemployed" Plan Not Super · · Score: 2

    Did the lessons of The Incredibles fall on deaf ears? How many people might have been injured or killed wearing those capes?!
