  1. Start your own TV-studio on Cheap Video Sniffing · · Score: 4, Funny

    It would even be cooler if you could send your own videos to the cam's receiver. Imagine sending your pre-released DivX movie to the security officers ;-)

  2. Re:Sharing with your neighbours on More On Detecting NAT Gateways · · Score: 1

    ISPs are afraid that people will team-up with their neighbours to get a broadband connection together.
    Most trafficrates are enough for two families doing nothing more than web surfing, e-mailing and chatting.
    If you share your connection with your neighbour, your ISP will have a customer less, so they really *do* lose money.

  3. Re: Aargh! on DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? · · Score: 1

    I've got connection problems to Slashdot.org all morning now. When I submit a reply it /. only receives the subject, not the body. My apologies for the empty messages :-/

    Original message:
    Just wondering, how is this going to affect the development of OpenBSD? The mailinglist messages state there aren't sleeping places for the developers attending the hackathon (yet), but besides these problems, do you think there will be major development problems? OpenBSD started without funds, and now it has to continue the way it began, is this really such a Bad Thing?

    Okay, I have connection problems to Slashdot, and apparantly, the body of my reply got lost. Let me try to re-post it:

  6. The 1/12th part... on Social Engineering Still Best Way to Crack Security · · Score: 1

    Two thirds of workers have given their password to a colleague (the same as last year) and three quarters knew their co-workers passwords.
    Which means that 1/12th of the workers know their co-workers passwords via other co-workers or by another way like watching some one type. :-/

  7. Re:ESA anyone? on US & Russia Pencil in Mars Launch by 2018 · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's true. But I think space research would be much further now if the world would had co-operated from the beginning. Think about it: it's all about the 'who gets there first?' game. Ever since the first man on the moon and before that. The space travels and research cost so many money, if they would share the cost and team-work we would be way further now, because there would be more money and people wouldn't be doing the same thing as others did. Why invent the wheel again? Well, this probably remains an Utopia for a long long time.

  8. Re:ESA anyone? on US & Russia Pencil in Mars Launch by 2018 · · Score: 1

    "(and the Europeans are mentioned too)" Oops, I should had RTFA better :-/ Anyway, I heard the ESA was going to do launch around 2009 (first unmanned, if it goes well, manned), but that's not 2018.

  9. ESA anyone? on US & Russia Pencil in Mars Launch by 2018 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I thought the ESA was going to do the same thing, around 2009? Why not co-operate a little, and share the costs?

  10. Re:Are most internships unpaid then? on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 0

    Well, I'm guess you're right here. However, it's stupid to see such things still ano 2003. The USA never had a black president before, I'm wondering how many years it'll take before it will :-/

    Say what you like about Microsoft's software/market policy/lawyers, they look like they genuinely take care of their employees. Hmmm.. wasn't Microsoft the same company which was accused of discriminating black employees? http://news.com.com/2100-1001-250462.html?tag=rn Jep, it is =)

  12. Re:Federal Regulation on Using Visible Light for Data Transfer · · Score: 0

    But I wonder how robust or secure is this.... can an airplane with flashing lights bring down your server.....?

    Heh, that's still better than bringing down an airplane with your server ;-)

  13. R.I.P. on MicroBSD Is No More · · Score: 0

    Rest In Peace

  14. Re:"Backwards Apostrophe"? on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's shift+quote.. on my Zaurus :-P
