  1. Re:One has to ask... on Google 302 Exploit Knocks Sites Out · · Score: 1

    Slashdot effects pages for a few hours.
    Losing page rank can effect custom for months.

  2. Re:WTF on Google 302 Exploit Knocks Sites Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the googlebot scans the redirected page and assigns weights based on the end result page, but assigns the ranking to your original page, then you are essentially stealing pagerank from the proper host.

    That is my understanding of the problem, and part of the reason why redirects appear to get higher rankings than simply copy and pasting somebodies content.

    As for covert googlebots, I'm sure they exist as R&D items, but doubt they would be setup in the manner you describe.

    Actually, Lynx is.

    But then again, I'm just being pedantic.
    This hijacking thing is becoming a real PITA, and his recommendations to the search engines at the end of the article are reasonable.

    The fix i personally recommend is simple: treat cross-domain 302 redirects differently that same-domain 302 redirects. Specifically, treat same-domain 302 redirects exactly as per the RFC, but treat cross-domain 302 redirects just like a normal link.

    Its to make up for the lack of a Breast option in the current poll.

    Yes, *she* is some lady who touches up and adjusts clothes.

    This is her one big chance at fame, let her bask in the spotlight.

    Her site has been dormant for a couple of years now, its just recently with the media "interest" that shes spruced it up.

    Mind you, it looks downright awful, but who am I to judge.

    Actually, MS are pretty good at that as well.

    You can still run software from 1981 on windows XP.

    Take a look for yourselves (those in Windows) here

  7. Re:bah on AOL: We're Not Spying on AIM Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Eh? Encryption isn't the solution to end users logging conversatations in their IM client.
    This issue relates to the main central servers eavesdropping on EVERYONEs conversations.

    Encrypting the conversation should prevent eavesdropping on route, but won't prevent logging in the client.

    Didn't MSN MEssenger once have a similar claim in its TOS?

    I'm sure there was some storm in a teacup around it a while ago.

    I don't know.

    There seems to be plenty of women desperate to get on camera. Most of the time, their clothes mysteriously fall off at the same time.

  12. Re:Bluetooth Guns for Police on Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle · · Score: 1

    Neat idea, but police occasionally have to fire at criminals who aren't tagged.

    You can't expect the officer to stop the gunfight, pass the hostile a bluetooth phone and then carry on.

    You could expect more awful scenes inside courthouses if criminals knew police weapons could only be fired at the accused.

    Actually, I think thats a perfect name for it.

    The dumb shit can't expect to walk around with something like that and expect people to stay calm.

  14. Re:Star Trek on Automatic 3D Reconstruction of Scenes · · Score: 1

    Your right, this even has the shadow areas (look behind the closet door).

    I recently visited stonehenge, and basically filled up my camera memory card with high res images from all around, and was hoping to reconstruct the space.
    Maybe now I will get cracking again.

    Check the NTL pages, they are already advertising the 1/2/3mbit service to customers.

    WTF is the timelapse movie doing there?

    Its cool and all, but I thought a gallery of instructions would tax his server enough.

    If we discuss Luxpro's trade secrets, will they sue us just like Apple does?

    This service is designed to replace an already wireless technology.
    Its not designed to replace an ADSL type wired connection.
    As such, I don't think people care whether they are leaking some bits.

    Maybe not for you personally, but this port from the windows version brings one major thing to Linux:

    Brand recognition.

    Its not going to miraculously change the world and its not going to cure cancer, but it does add another feather in the Linux cap :)

    Everyone seems to be bitching and complaining about something at the moment.

    From Mozilla to Gnome to the slashdot readership.

    Make the most of the time you got here instead of worrying about free software. If it works, great, if not, do something constructive to make it better.

    Go play games, relax, spend time with your partner, just do something you enjoy doing :)

    Those of you without women, make sure you keep tissues handy.
