  1. Hogwash I say! on Are Blogs the Future of Journalism? · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry but online bloggers weren't the reason for Rather or Lott stepping down.

    Proof: We've been bitching and blogging about SCO for a couple of years now and that hasn't made them go away.

  2. Update on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just got an e-mail back from Darl, thier web site wasn't hacked. It's their new marketing ploy.

  3. Additional Info on Using Computers To Weed Out Art Fakes · · Score: 1

    There is also an article on wired about this.

  4. Truth in Advertising on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 1

    I find it very amusing that a Half Life 2 ad is/was displayed on this news article.

  5. Re:been a while on FreeBSD 5.3 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    how is it broken? because it doesn't have an eye candy install process? it gives you exactly what you need and nothing more. unless you specifically can identify why it's broken, like it wont install on your system; your comment is bunk. i prefer the 'fits like a glove' type install.

    If it's not broke, don't fix it.

  7. Re:obiligatory scriptage on FreeBSD 5.3 Released · · Score: 1

    my bad.

  8. obiligatory scriptage on FreeBSD 5.3 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    wget "ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i38 6/5.3/5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso" && echo "Wah Hoo!"

  9. Who cares? on Electoral-vote.com Under Heavy Load; Attack? · · Score: 1

    That site is far from accurate with respect to the data already reported.

  10. Re:Thank you sir, may I have another photo publish on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 1

    'Ethical' when concerned with the happenings on the Internet sir is a very realtive realm.

  11. Don't Forget NAIM! on AOL IM 'Away' Message Security Hole Found · · Score: 1

    http://site.n.ml.org/info/naim/ NAIM is everything I need in an aim client, and more. Encryption, console based, irc+lily+icq compatible, been around forever, etc, etc. And dont forget, combined with screen, its extremely portable.

  12. Question on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 1

    How is SETI science?

  13. Flawed Logic on Open Source a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Who is to say that a rogue country doesn't insert insurgents within private industry to plant bugs and harmful code inside propietary software? Furthermore, the responsability to find such code falls into the hands of a few within the company, whereas the entire world has the ability to proof open source software. Making software proprietary and allowing only a few to view and modify the code does not in any way make it anymore secure. Take Microsoft for example, they unintentionally sabatage their own software and we rely entirely on them to find, correct and prevent such happenings.

  14. Because DDoS's Attack every hour on the hour on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1

    Every hour, Infoworld "sees a massive surge of RSS newsreader activity" that "has all the characteristics of a distributed DoS attack."

    If one RSS file is parsed by tens of thousands of readers every hour on the hour, how is that anything like "all the characteristics" of a DDoS? If only real DDoS's REALLY has all the characteristics of an RSS reader. (ie, Loaded one document at a specific interval, and doesn't do anything else for another hour)

  15. Re:NASA was going to roll this out earlier... on NASA Installs Linux Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    *jabs knife in a little deeper and twists* :)
