    Dear Master Dater,

    Installing X10 cameras in the female dorm showers and wacking it in the back of your van doesn't count as "dating."

  8. Dear Timothy on Upgrade Your Dog · · Score: 5, Funny
    Dear Timothy,

    I'm a proud parent of a newborn young girl. The first thing I did after getting her home from the natural birthing center was to install a subdermal electronic tag so she can't escape. Second, since I'm a good dad, I bought her a cell phone (an N-Gage even!) with a 700 minutes/month plan. Third, I enrolled her in ESL classes, cause she sure damn can't speak English yet. I don't understand a word she says!

    Until later,!

  14. Dear Slashdot on Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels · · Score: 0
    Dear Slashdot,

    This reminds me of the New Yorker cartoon where two guys are looking at an apparent flat HDTV on the wall. One of them says to the other, "It's not an HDTV -- it's a window."

  15. Dear Slashdot on Network Security Assessment · · Score: -1
    Dear Slashdot,

    I just finished this book yesterday.

    This book is a great resource for any administrator with IP networks to protect. As Wes Boudville says, it certainly is systematic with some great guidelines and useful checklists. The high level concepts laid out by the author make it much easier to understand the underlying issues with security nowadays. Instead of listing bugs and patches, McNab explains the different bug types, and I learned a lot about stack and heap overflows in the application security chapter.

    I'd recommend this book over Hacking Exposed and other books with the word 'hacking' in the title. The assessment material is comprehensive from both Unix and Windows standpoints, and I certainly picked up a bunch of new tricks that I wasn't aware of before. The book has great coverage of all the latest tools and oral techniques, but is written in a timeless way. At just under 400 pages you'll find that it's not too long either!

    This is called atmospheric perspective. As objects move further back, they appear more blue-grey. Imagine the peaks of a mountain range.

  23. Dear Slashdot on Projecting Video On Curved Surfaces · · Score: 0
    Dear Slashdot,

    That's true. The projected image will only look correct from a single user location (the "sweet spot.") One way around this would be to use a tracking device and recalibrate the projection warping when the user location changes. Still, that would only work correctly for a single viewer.
