  1. But then on Build A Darknet To Capture Naughty Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ok, it's a really good idea, but catching the naughty traffic isnt the hard part, what does it do witht he naughty traffic it gets, just make a pretty graph?

  2. Re:Sounds good to me on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    Hmm yeah but i think it is also missing alot of stuff to, for example, a maximum of 10 users is pretty dump, and it also only extends apple wireless networks. Ive got white blocky things with audio jacks coming out of my arse, iPod dock, iPod, now this, and my powerbook ac adapter block, etc. Apple does the PVR market.

  3. Dud on Fedora Core 2 Dud or Dodo? · · Score: 1

    After much time with a debian installtion, I thought I would try Fedora Core 2 because my friend described it to me as "awesome". After a very smooth installtion (including setting up dual boot - I did it myself after reading the bad reports) things started to go a bit pear shaped. For a start the setup for my lcd screen didnt work, the refresh rate was running at 75 instead of 60, quick changed using the graphical "Change Resolution", and yeap, changed the resolution and the screen looked normal. After a few reboots, my screen now either starts up in 60 or 75 hz mode seemingly at random. My friend also has a problem where his mouse stops to work after a few minutes and he has to tab his way through to the keyboard settins to refresh his mouse.

    Next problem, due to SELinux every boot has an audit(...) line which takes about 2-3 minutes, a pain in the bum for a desktop setup.

    Furthermore, things just seem crap, a pain in the arse getting NVIDIA setup due to the renowned 4k stacks problem, needing a kernel recompile to get the nvidia drives installed.

    All of these little things just make me think Core 2 was rushed to include the 2.6 kernel, and it just doesnt seem very polished.

    Back to debian sarge.

  5. iPod on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    fuck the laptop, everyone from the UK that goes to the US should be taking advantage of cheap iPods. And you could just hand over the cash for a powerbook while your there ;)

  6. IBM on Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think IBM's license for Netscape has just run out so alot of people are switching to Mozilla, not sure if this is worldwide or just UK.

  7. What a fucking waste on 17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike" · · Score: 1

    What a waste of a TFT! He should of left his stuff in its original case on the floor and saved lots of room on his desk with the TFT. If he had spaced it out right he could of probably left space for the cathode ray tube.

  8. Re:Trackball on Apple Applies For Rotary Mouse Patent · · Score: 1

    Looks really nice, if you have't noticed it seems like it has been inspired by the pad on an ipod where you move your thumb around it in either way to scroll.

  11. Cameras on Are Video Blogs Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I feel that any kind of camera, digital camera or video camera attached to my computer i anyway is bound to end up in my naked ass being posted around the world just after I've had a shower or something!
