  1. grep? on Text Mining the New York Times · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, they figured out how to use grep!

  2. Re:SupportWorks perhaps? on Support Desk Software for ITIL-Based IT Department · · Score: 1

    I used it a while ago and it was ok. Written in php and runs on apache, so portable and easy to modify.

  3. Re:Wow... on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    but myspace is where the college students pick up 14 year olds

  4. crtl-r on How Do You Maintain Your Work Focus? · · Score: 1

    spend all day refreshing slashdot

  5. 2 person PC on The Multi-Pointer X server · · Score: 1

    If you had 2 monitors, 2 mice and 2 keyboards, you could have 2 people using 1 PC, and they could drag windows across to each other.

  6. Re:They'll give in, and they probably should... on BPI Requests ISPs Suspend Suspected Filesharers · · Score: 1

    Most ISPs have to pay for thier bandwidth. 20% of the customers generate 80% of the traffic, so killing filesharers benefits the ISP.

  7. servers too far away! on New(?) Anti-Fraud DNS service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So using DNS servers that are 23 hops and 170ms away from me is meant to be faster than using ones 4 hops and 5ms away? Think they need some sort of distributed system with servers in every country, and some good peering.

  8. Re:Cash on The $899 Educational iMac · · Score: 1

    How does one sell blood plasma, do vampires buy it on ebay?

  11. Re:Correct the title! Sheesh! on BPI Sue AllOfMp3 In British Courts · · Score: 1

    The BPI is a collection of people, not a single person. Bob sues allofmp3.com, BPI sue allofmp3.com.

  12. Re:Sounds voluntary on Font Raid Spells Trouble for Publisher · · Score: 1

    They say "we know you have lots of pirated software, let us audit you and you'll only have to pay for the software, or we'll sue you for £1,000,000"

  13. Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on Font Raid Spells Trouble for Publisher · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

  14. Re:$37 billion is a lot to give to charity, but... on Billions Donated to Charity · · Score: 1

    What do you think it's made from?

  15. Re:switching the number won't work on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1

    You can extract the KI out of some SIMs by brute force.
    I have 2 SIMs with the same KI and IMSI (and 2 phones with the same IMEI).
    The last one to register on the network receives all incoming calls, you cannot make 2 calls simultanously, when a call is made on one it drops the call on the other.
    This is what is does when both are in the same cell anyway.... i've not tried it with 2 phones on different cells or in different countries yet :)

    Now they don't even have to bribe people, they just have a shell script that downloads 50000 copies off itunes

  20. Re:Cashing checks? on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    how would the ATM know that it is not a forged/fake cheque? when you put a cheque into your account it is checked manually and they don't let you take the money out untill it clears (i onced told the ATM i'd put in a cheque for £50,000, just to see what would happen)

  21. real ipod clone on Apple to Face iPod Clone Attack · · Score: 1

    has anyone managed to hack any other mp3 player, so that it is compatible with itunes? or has anyone made an ipod hardware compatible mp3 player than the ipod firmware could be loaded onto?

  24. buffering... on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ripping a CD that you own to an mp3 player, is just like your CD player reading the cd ahead into a buffer. Are the RIAA saying that CD players with buffers are illegal?
