  1. Re:Duplicate story... on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    and when you have multiple instances of an app that both need specific ports fowarded, it creates a problem

  2. google linkage on ATM For Anonymous Online Payments · · Score: 4, Informative
  3. Re:Security on Airlines... on Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights · · Score: 1

    A friend was on an american airline soon after the new measures were introduced. It was nothing he didn't expect from a British airport.

    The fact they still sell glass bottles shows how little they actually care.

  4. Re:Is it really an incentive? on Pods Unite · · Score: 1

    I take the free one, because £1.20 for a 500ml bottle is a rip off.

  5. Problems with existing cell networks? on Cell Phones on Commercial Flights by 2006? · · Score: 1

    If your phone is talking to two or three cells that on ground could never 'see' each other, expect a letter from your company ranting about confusing the network. I don't know what harm it does, although I have read a couple of storys from people who have been wrote to.

  6. Re:Could be illegal in some countries... on Instant Messaging Giveaway · · Score: 1

    no purchase necessary but you have to spend roughly the same price on a stamp to mail in your 'entry'

  7. Re:But... on Warp Pipe Project - GameCube Online · · Score: 1

    only game that comes to mind is PSO, and that *has* to be online

    With 70+ hours of offline play, tell my friend that.

  8. Re:Web site stats on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    what sort of website does your client run? slashdot will get more linux/moz hits than msn.com

  9. Clear this up for me on Linux v2.6 Begins Testing · · Score: 5, Funny

    What is it I have to do? Send loves and kisses?

  10. Re:Erm...cache? on Web Caching: Google vs. The New York Times · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I was thinking the same thing. I cann't recall seeing a NYT article linked from here with the google cache banner across the top, what I do see alot are the partner links. Google already provides for register-only news sites (financial times?) by putting a [reg only] tag beside the article. Why the NYT has chosen not to use this up until now is a tad strange, and it looks like someone has picked up the wrong end of the stick.

  11. Re:Fasr? Reliable? on Top Five Reliable Providers · · Score: 2, Informative
  12. still 1000 years to pay it off on $180 Million for Piracy Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    which is still a joke

  13. Re:Deflated specs! on World's Smallest Desktop Pentium4? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Damn I've spent about ten optimised minutes thinking of a reply to this but it just isnt coming.

  14. IMO on What is Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Open source is any source that is available. open source software is whatever you want it to be

  15. Re:Pixlet on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    Anybody wanna bet that both pixar and pixlet were derived from pixel.

  16. Re:Where are the G5? on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    In this case pudge was the defendant and the jury in the submission process. Are you inciting that slashdot submitters get off on apples? It is an interesting thought but not one I want to ponder on.

  17. i never know what to post in celebration threads on Happy Birthday, Dear DNS · · Score: 3, Funny

    So all I'm gonna say is happy birthday. Thats the point, no? ;-)

  18. fools on Artists Protesting Single-Song Downloads · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Artist representatives say a singles-oriented model means a significant hit to the bottom line. Instead of divvying the spoils of a $12-$18 CD sale, labels, artists and songwriters are vying for nickels and dimes from 99 cent downloads.
    As the article earlier today demonstrated, artists do not get a good share of the 'spoils' from a $12 CD, and they are very naieve if they think their current contracts are giving them a good deal. 12%, albiet in the form of 12 cents, is a step up from the status quo.
  19. i did this for a while on Honeypot For Identifying Email-Harvesters · · Score: 1

    I did something similar for a while but stopped because I didn't really have any use for it. Using primarily my ISP's mail service theres not much I can do to customise it. At some point I intend to set up some sort of thing that feeds into a dns blacklist, but when that will be I just don't know. Its probably already been done, but heck, its the taking part that counts. Or something like that

  20. Re:Managing bandwidth on Managing Bandwidth and Bandwidth Costs? · · Score: 3, Informative

    What must be noted is that a custom tracker would almost be a necessity. Trackers overload REAL easy, so having one you can run over a load balanced system or that keeps CPU and memory usage to a bare minimum is a must.

  21. somebody repair the drain pipe on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Whos willing to bet that the very accidental leak of G5 specs came from the same people who very accidentaly leaked these screenshots.

  22. Re:What the hell? on GameCube ISOs Released? · · Score: 1

    just because i use windows doesnt mean i don't support open source

  23. nice, hard to think up technology on Philips Introduces Mirror TV · · Score: 1

    Take flat screen. Take a 'one way' mirror. Put bright screen behind mirror and ta-da, you get tv-in-mirror.

  24. Re:asda on Wal-Mart Enters NetFlix's Business · · Score: 1

    thanks coward

  25. asda on Wal-Mart Enters NetFlix's Business · · Score: 1

    Let's hope this spreads to asda, a company in the uk that wal mart owns. I've been wanting a serivce like netflix over here!
