  1. Re:Sounds Like... on 2ch: Japanese Web Forum As Social Vent · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah no kidding, why can't slashdot US have such interesting topics as "You participate! Fire truck + ambulance = it goes out, the rescuing car". I might not even complain about dupes then :)

  2. Re:I can attest to this... on Breaking RSA Keys by Listening to Your Computer · · Score: 1

    It would be worth something to try anyway, when I picked up the board two years ago it was pushing almost $300. And was top of the line. lol In your case it's abit slow for what you want.

    Pun Intended?

  3. Gee golly on Hardware Manufacturers Making PC Gaming Too Elite? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    we're looking at the first required hardware upgrade in gaming history...

    The hell we are, this happens at least once every two years, games are constantly pushing technology, what else would? Who cares about the "little companies"? Millions of people buy(and anticipate) these high-end PC games for a reason.

    Farlight was a games group...

  5. Re:Good idea but... on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have tried playing with a couple stream rippers before, only problem is streams tend to be real low quality...

    Ever considered streaming from high-quality stations then?

  6. Re:Great for warez... on Port Knocking in Action · · Score: 2, Informative

    Incorrect.

    You connect first to the server, it then queries your machine on 113 to see if you are who you say you are and let you in(or not).

    How is a server supposed to know to ident you if the ftp port isn't open first?

  7. Re:It's not that surprising . . . on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 1

    I don't run antivirus software of any kind.

    I find it slows down my system and casuses more problems than it fixes(at least one avg install left me with an unbootable windows installation(no i don't know why))

    However, I am adept enough to know how to avoid being infected, I use mozilla mail rather than outlook, and keep my system patched/behind NAT.

    Every few months, I will install a copy of norton and run it with the latest signatures just to check that I am clean, and I have yet to find a virus on my box.

  8. Re:Mirror on Optimizing distcc · · Score: 1

    I notice a connection refused. Would you mind sharing what the bandwidth usage was?

    I've wanted to mirror files for /. lately, but I don't want to swamp my server.

  9. oh yeah on Bayesian Filtering Outside of Email? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What other areas can you think of where Bayesian filtering may prove useful?

    Family discussions?

  10. Re:Just ridiculous... on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    People have been doing this with mod_vhost_alias with Apache for AGES.

    Of course, I don't think anyone needs to get their panties in a wad over this, there are plenty of junk 'IP' corporations out there that are just paper tigers. They never actually do anything, and when it comes to court they (almost) always lose.

  11. Re:iptables on the linksys on Policy-Based Routing Using Software Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    Only on the WRT45G if I recall correctly.

    Also, the switches on those linksys boxes I'm sure aren't managed, so you'd not be able to use them to load-balance t1's like that very easily.

    Best to use a pc with 3 NICS in it.

  12. Re:GNU/* and *BSD on Freeware for Windows -- Where Did It Go? · · Score: 2, Informative

    When I need software? in kinda this order:
    $ grep keyword /var/lib/apt/lists/*


    apt-cache search searchterm

  13. no thanks... on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They will play MP3s as well as audio and video recorded in Microsoft's digital format.

    What Microsoft apparently doesn't realize is that customers aren't going to spend $7-800 on a device only to have to convert every divx and xvid movie they have over to microsoft's proprietary format. Time really is money in this case, and it's just not worth it to have to spend days/weeks converting movie files.

    Sounds messy...

  15. Re:Cheap Code reading tool on Interacting with Onboard Car Computers? · · Score: 1

    3 Samples per/second are perhaps not enough to get detailed gauges and such, but they would be more than enough to get detailed statistical analysis of the goings-on of your engine. You could setup rrdtool to poll the sensors, and have it generate a png graph of temperature/rpm/speed/etc statistics, and then just use a simple image-displaying program to display and refresh it to an lcd display.

    It might not be very useful, but damn wouldn't it look neat :p

  16. Re:ClamAV on Best Antivirus Options for a Mailserver? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I have been using ClamAV for about 6 months, and so far its blocked a few viruses. So far so good.

    "Reuters is reporting that a Swedish group finds 'Video games can make children fat and, in the case of violent games popular among teenage and younger boys, aggressive and even criminal.' These articles make me want to hurt someone.

    This is the first on-topic post of the thread, and it's modded off-topic?

    Someone fix this please.

    Well, you'd need to run the command "winex steam.exe" or whatever, but yes, pretty much.

  21. Not in America on Cybercafes - A Dying Trend? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know that in many other countries Internet Cafe's are insanely popular, but this is usually because the cost of living is so low, and the telcom situation is so bad that having a computer and an Internet connection is only affordable by the upper-class, therefore people flock to these Internet cafe's to chat, check email, play games, surf porn, etc.

    In America, most people can easily afford a computer and an Internet connection, so Internet cafe's are really an answer lacking a question.

    I talk periodically to a friend online who's CS clan opened a LAN gaming center, and they have gotten pretty popular, in fact they are opening new locations. However, this isn't your typical Internet cafe, people come to hang out with likeminded individuals and play games with each other in person. It's not a financial issue as much as it is an entertainment issue.

    My suggestion? Don't bother. Unless you can find a niche to fill with your Internet cafe, there is nothing to stop it from falling by the wayside just like all the rest.

    Watch out for the Pinto branded laptops though, if you drop 'em the wrong way they explode, sending shrapnel flying through the air.

  23. Re:Loss of service on Cable Modem Hackers Release Improved Firmware · · Score: 0, Troll

    You posted a link that points at 192.168.100.1? Are you trolling, or just inept?

    Most cable modems run a simple webserver which can be accessed by going to that link, he was neither trolling nor inept, you on the other hand... :p

  24. heh on Removing Site from Spam Filters and ISP Blocks? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What suggestions do you have for Mr. Garret, in terms of helping him get his site off of as many lists as possible?

    The only real surefire way to accomplish this, as many organizations have found out harshly is that one must sell their soul to the devil.

    Now, this may sound drastic, but the soul is at an all-time high on the SIN(Soul INdex), so now might be a good time to get that management position as well, while you're at it.
