  1. Re:what about the innocent? on Slashback: Circumvention, AOLandfill, Scoffing · · Score: 2

    and there has been more than one MAC address collision with just the few hundred machines I've set up.

    Did the mac address have DEADBEEF in it by any chance?

  2. Re:xbox serial number on Slashback: Circumvention, AOLandfill, Scoffing · · Score: 2

    I would imagine you could do it with a shell script if you had linux installed on it.

    Or even better dont even use an X-Box, just code up some program on a standard PC that pretends to be an X-Box to the Live service and supply whatever serial number/mac address you want..

  3. start-up? on Real Time Vehicle Tracking Made Easy · · Score: 2

    Wow hadn't heard someone use the phrase start-up to describe a company for a little while now.

  4. Re:An answer to the "But why Ceduna?" question on Total Solar Eclipse at Ceduna, South Australia · · Score: 2

    Ok just had to check, I know its a little bigger a continent than some of you think. I put in Sydney and Perth in on whereis as driving from and to which are on opposite ends of the country and it gave me:
    Total travel distance: 4041.51 km, Estimated travel time: 54 Hrs 55 Mins
    thats over two days solid of driving!

  5. Re:No room on Go Go Gadget Minisaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wait, you actually use their software?

    No I think he just carries around their EULA for self defence. I can't imagine a much more suitable blunt object than that.

  6. Re:Fix for glass tabletops... on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 2

    Don't you have any respect for your old network equipment ? Who uses a router "to round the edges" to put his mouse on? :)

    Aaaah! I think that explains the mysterious downtime when the networking guys have just gotten some new furniture.

  7. Re:The CueCat had this... on Embedding Data Signals In White Noise · · Score: 2

    rca cable that was meant to go from your computer to your sound card.

    Wouldn't your sound card already be connected to your PC? Maybe you mean video/tv to your sound card instead...

  8. Re:Read the test plan... on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 2

    (Ok, not quite worthless- there is one EASY way to solve the detection problem: give up on kinetic kill, and just load the anti-missile missile with an atomic warhead. You don't need to worry about which fragment contains the enemy bomb if you can just liquify everything in a 10km radius. For some reason, the Pentagon hasn't wanted to take this plan to the American public...)

    I'll go with that one, my extensive training in missile command will pay big dividends when they push the button.

  9. Re:Interesting on Antimatter Space Drive · · Score: 2

    Howe says. "There's a lot of technology between here and there."

    An interesting way to paraphrase the Enterprise title song though.

  10. Re:The cost of antimatter... on Antimatter Space Drive · · Score: 2

    There weren't a lot of pilots who could have been killed by jet fuel in WWII, were there? Perhaps the more generic term 'aviation fuel' would have been more accurate?

    How about about Rocket Fuel then? The Messerschmitt 163 Komet ran on two very volatile substances that were explosive when mixed, with very predictable results for the life expectancy of pilots.

  11. Re:electroic signture. on Nanotech Paints For Military · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I'm envisioning some enemy discovering the signal used to tell the paint to change color, then broadcasting a signal to turn all the US tanks hot pink.

    They're not that colour already?

    >Just mount a coffee can on your fender, pack it full of shredded aluminum foil and gunpowder, wire your radar detector to set it off, and you can slip through the speed trap in a cloud of chaff.

    I think you might be sues then by the British Air Force for breach of patent/copyright, sound a little similiar to Operation Window.

    yeah i know its the same as contemporary chaff, but I had to find the first instance. ;)

  13. Re:Hoax? on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We change our regime every 4 years

    I'm not an American but I'd like to point out that occasionally swapping between Democrats and Republicans is NOT a regime change.

  15. Re:And... on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 2

    but what do you think would happen if the nuke was inside the bunker?

    If the bunker was strong enough it would prevent everyone else from getting blown up the.

  16. Re:Nudged? on Earth's Little Brother Found · · Score: 2

    The phases that the moon goes through (waxing and waning and whatnot) has nothing to do with the rotation of the moon

    Umm I'm pretty sure that he made the original comment in jest.. I doubt anyone who posts to slashdot is ignorant enough to think that the lunar cycles have anything to do with lunar rotation.

  17. Re:Zen Error on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 2

    On all existing implementations, you cannot make a hard link to a directory, and hard links cannot cross filesystem boundaries. (These restrictions are not mandated by POSIX, however.)

    *sigh* so often i've wanted to hard link directories, and across file systems to boot. Would enable me to give chrooted users access to some material thats kept elsewhere easily without letting them wander around the filesystem.

  18. Re:Twilight Zone... on Library of Congress Map Collections from 1500's · · Score: 2

    Well it might not of actually been physically located in the same location when it was founded. My univerity (yes a relatively recent one) was actually based somewhere in the city in a temporary location while the campus was initially being contructed for a couple of years.

  19. Re:Good News on Microsoft: No Xbox for You! · · Score: 2

    Meanwhile the affected country will effectively escape from the Microsoft stranglehold and never again become trapped in it once everyone has migrated to free OSs.

  20. Re:Well, on Microsoft: No Xbox for You! · · Score: 2

    I'm not going to pick through your entire list but the game at the top of your list Battlefield: 1942 has already been released on the PC as many gamers can attest.

  21. Re:what client ?!?1 on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 2

    A net send to 127.0.0.1 goes through a DSL and a T1 link? You must have one VERY large personal computer there...

    He's probably talking about Pitfall II also for the 2600, that's the one I loved.
