  1. Brought to you by his PR firm on Beto O'Rourke's Secret Membership in America's Oldest Hacking Group (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this is believable. He's so relatable. I'm sure someone will get around to posting a paragraph to his wiki page of his programming exploits from his hacking days.

  2. Once GoT is done I'm removing all the pay channels from my service. Most all the programming has turned to shit.

  3. Re:How do I tell...? on Top Botnets Control Some 1 Million Hijacked Computers · · Score: 1

    "But how can I be sure?"
    I eventually moved to the Mac. I got tired of going to security forums and reading about how one antivirus software was better than another. As if anyone really knows. Heck, the other day Slashdot had an article about a new bot that goes undetected in "over 80 percent of machines running antivirus software." The headache worrying over it isn't worth owning a Window's machine.
  4. Re:Makes you wonder ... on Apple's "Time Machine" Now For Linux... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Before Time Machine, I made two bootable backups. One to an external firewire drive and the second to an internal drive. When the software I used--SuperDuper!--updates to Leopard, I'll go back to doing that to at least one drive and possibly continue using Time Machine for the other.

  5. Re:wow on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    I didn't know I was reading Slashdot when it was such a young site. Now I know...because I registered a domain at the end of that year and hosted the site at Llamacom.com which I found as an advertisement on this site. Their banner ad may have only run once. I never saw it again.

    Back in those days I was afraid to register anywhere. I mean come one, how many topics back then were about PGP? :)

  7. Yes, but... on Russia Plans Its Own Moon Base · · Score: 1

    What are their real intentions?

  8. Re:You aren't a designer on Mac Users' Internet Experience to Retain Same Fonts · · Score: 1

    I wish there were a heavier version of Monaco that I could use for my terminal.app. If you increase the Monaco's size it actually gets harder to see; at least for me with my aging eyes.

  9. Re:OS X was finally my opportunity to learn UNIX on Mac OS X Leopard is Now Officially Unix · · Score: 5, Funny

    First rule of unix, never tell anyone you use pico. Second rule of unix, NEVER TELL ANYONE YOU USE PICO! ...

    OSX comes with Bash.

  11. Outlaws on Germany Declares Hacking Tools Illegal · · Score: 5, Funny

    If "hacking tools" are outlawed, only outlaws will have "hacking tools."

  12. Re:Is 65 years excessive? on Spammer Robert Soloway Arrested · · Score: 1

    I think it's excessive. I mean considering the last time I looked, "life" in Florida is 25 years. A murderer who gets "life" would spend far less time.

  13. Re:Solution? on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I would never trust a brokerage with my money if they won't secure my email address. Moreover, pump and dump spam?!! WTF!

  14. Re:Memory Tuning on Top 10 Dead (or Dying) Computer Skills · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean Real Admins did it in Edlin?

  15. Re:Wordpress - a correction on Survey Finds Most WordPress Blogs Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    But with WordPress you can't be sure there isn't a security fix in a latest version.

  16. HP 11C on Celebrating the HP-35 Calculator With a New Model · · Score: 2

    Man, that one brings back memories...I loved that calculator.

  17. Re:Skeptics are useful. on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for those links.

    Interesting link. Thank you.

  19. Re:Skeptics are useful. on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1

    TBH, I don't know all the arguments. What struck me from the video is how the supposed ice core data actually show temperature leads CO2 which sort of debunks the whole idea that human activity causing global warming. Has this particular aspect of the video been debunked?

  20. Re:Skeptics are useful. on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1

    I agree. This video seems quite revealing from a skeptics POV.

  21. How reasuring... on Study Claims Offshoring Doesn't Cost US Jobs · · Score: 1

    I'll have to let my brother know. He'll feel good to know that the 6 figure IT job he was just laid off from so it can be shipped offshore didn't really happen.

  22. Re:I hate the design of the imac on Apple Unveils 24" iMac · · Score: 1

    I'd consider buying one except the design makes it too tall for my computer hutch.

  23. Re:I've said it before on Dvorak Admits To Trolling Mac Users · · Score: 1

    I used to love flipping PCMag's pages to Dvorak's work. But that's before I knew better. Which was about ten years ago when I let my subscription finally run out.
