  1. Donate old software to NSRL on True Tales of Tech Hoarding · · Score: 1

    If the fit ever takes anyone to make room for newer items, and you need to shift old software out of the way, think of donating it to the National Software Reference Library. We'll even pay the shipping. You'll be helping a unique resource.

  3. S#!tloads of Windoze file hashes in NSRL on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 1
    http://www.nsrl.nist.gov

    SHA-1 and MD5 hashes of all variants of Win system files. Tripwire the hell out of your box after you nuke it from space.

  4. Where's the 90 page version? on More on Newly Broken SHA-1 · · Score: 1
    good enough for now - thanks!

    Shamir said at RSA that there's a complete 90 page version in existance... I haven't found that one yet.

    dd | strings | grep -i hack

  6. Air conditioning with wet hay bale on Inventor of Low Tech Fridge Wins Award · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We used to take a hand's width "slice" of straw from the end of a square bale, make it wet and stick in the window - instant air conditioner. The breeze blowing through it (coming INTO the room - you don't want to cool the OUTSIDE) had the heat "removed" with this same process.

    I doubt those people have the straw/grass/etc. to waste on A/C, though.

  7. normfuscation on ESR to Shred SCO Claims? · · Score: 1
    Sweet - a normalizing obfuscator. You should patent that.

    I can hear the wailing of comp sci students worldwide...

  8. Da Vinci Code by Brown is a great non-SF break on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I couldn't put it down - a fast paced quadruple murder semi-mystery with the Holy Grail, Da Vinci art, multiple country scavenger hunt and Catholic conspiracy plots intertwined. A fun book, worth the time, IMO, in between all the SF.

  9. We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx on A Title To Replace "Systems Administrator"? · · Score: 1
    Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
    We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx,
    All the gifts of life are held within our walls.
    Rush

    Enjoy it - you've got 109 years until a guy with a guitar shows up and you're screwed...
