They're the same overloads as before. They're just more public about it since the Bush administration has laid the groundwork for them to do whatever they want to citizens.
This thing travelled millions and millions of miles at tens of thousands of miles per hour to get to the planet, and now we're measuring its progress in terms of "feet per day".
A member of the Slashdot cult has admitted he has stolen the source code to Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. PickyH3D is the handle the low-karma hacker used when bragging of his accomplishment to the world. He has also issued a challenge to Microsoft's legal team with the statement that "there is no evidence". More on this as we hear it.
My cousin once put two 9-volts together pos->neg. Blew up in his face. He didn't do that again. Duracell or Enegizer (don't remember which) did a presentation in his school about battery safety shortly afterwards.

Enderle's Ferrari Laptop

· Score: 3, Funny
I love Ferrari cars and have since I first saw a Testarossa in a Motor Trend mag. And I used to collect Ferrari stuff to, mostly toys.
Although I stopped doing that 2 minutes ago after I saw what Ferrari agreed to put their name on.
Of course you could also have a new combination generated every minute for the super paranoid.
But I don't think the intent is to prevent people sofisticated enough to actually sniff packets from being able to enter the network, but simply stop script kiddies and worms that are rather mindless in their attacks. I am not aware of any worms that would be able to sniff packets and actually interpret what is happening.

I'd prefer to send a live penguin, dressed in prison stripes.
A couple years ago the patent office lost a legal battle over their use of a rubber stamp with the word "DENIED" on it. Apparently someone had a patent on the device, and the USPTO was in violation.
Funny? I think that's sound advice. When you make a mistake in the bomb squad at least you don't have to worry that your boss is going to keep bringing it up over and over again.
I had a test in 8th grade that required we memorize all the presidents and the dates they were in office. I made a program in QBasic to test myself. After typing in all the data, I pretty much had it down the first time I ran the program.
Maybe if they didn't spend R&D time and money on useless features, their products would be more affordable
First off, every company spends time/money for R&D on features or products that never even reach the consumer, let alone generate a profit. Any company that hasn't done so would take over the entire planet in a short amount of time.
Secondly, Photoshop has been expensive for the last decade. Do you really think they sat down 10 years ago and budgetted 50 million dollars to add an anti-counterfeitting feature? You charge what the market can bear. And the market has been able to bear a $700 price tag (or whatever they're charging). As proof of this, I submit the fact that Adobe is still in business.
It's fine to whine about MS charging $XXX for products that aren't anywhere near the best tool for any job, but Photoshop is an incredible tool and worth every penny.
I got my son a couple lego sets for Christmas and one of the Mega Block sets. The Mega Block set was a pain in the ass to assemble and all the pieces just kept popping apart. I think there is still an issue with quality even though the pieces look the same.
Of course one of the Lego sets was missing several pieces, so they aren't without their problems.
Microsoft's definition of a Power User is a user that has the ability to install software and change their own settings. There is nothing to guarantee that being given such permissions prevents a user from breaking Windows by performing such tasks.
Yes, I would agree with that. My comparison isn't really fair. Don't anybody laugh too hard, the network was already setup this way when I started at this place and I have no control over it.
To get from my machine to the printer, which is about 20 feet away, I end up going through three 4-port hubs, and one 16-port hub. The 16-port is also hooked to another 32-port hub.

Yeah I screwed that one up. I was ticked and had my foot in my mouth.
And mini-M&Ms can be packed even tighter! And ya know what - if you crush them into smaller fragments, you can pack those even tighter!
Does anybody else feel insulted that this "story" was even posted here?

How about they setup a web server with some pretty looking 3D realtime http stat program that can stream its output as video.
Then post the site's address on Slashdot.

Put "ATTN: Fuckers!" in the subject line to expedite processing.
No, I envision a special division of tech support to handle these customers.
Tech: Good afternoon sir, what do you fucking want.
Customer: Don't get an attitude with me you fucking prick, I pay your salary by buying these shitty products! Let me talk to your manager!
Tech: Fine, ya dumb fucker, hold on.
Manager: Hello asshole, do you have a fuckin problem I can help you with?

Got a copy of Windows 2000 (maybe other versions do this too)?

Build you own workbench out of Lego's!

I did that on my IBM XT, which had a 20MB HDD, and an internal 5.25" floppy, and a 13" monitor sitting on top of it.
Ever hear of "walking a drive"? How bout an entire machine?
Aw, c'mon, it's not that bad. Although I really wish they'd rewrite the 6a question: "If your parents can claim you then do not check box C.
Would it really be that hard to rewrite the command as "Check box C if you finally moved out of your parent's basement.".
