    Armed gangs are in control of New Orleans, and their FedEx, apparently.

  4. Re:Public IPO would do more than bring capitol to on VoIP Provider Vonage Planning IPO? · · Score: 1

    No idea how popular/supported OpenWrt is.

    However, I purchased a login to an international index of content. In the spirit of free software, I will share it with Slashdot, and you. Besides, it seems they have a fair amount of information on this OpenWrt stuff. Some 245,000 entries in their database.
    Go ahead and click here. It'll log you in as me and you can browse, too.

    Good luck!

    o/t.. curious, are you involved with vobbo?

    But in the past year, the only complaint has been one time when I happen to be downloading some large torrents and the wife was unhappy about her phone conversation quality.

    Get a QoS-enabled router. If you buy a Linksys WRT54G, you can install OpenWrt on it. OpenWrt basically turns it into a linux box, and gives you full control over the QoS characteristics, etc etc. Pretty cool stuff.

    You should really check out the cinemas.. they have sound now.

  9. Re:Control-D is the death of bookmarks on Lucene in Action · · Score: 1

    So, I didn't know about Control-D exiting shells. And I thought to myself, that's kinda neat. So I clicked over to SecureCRT, hit Ctrl+D. Nothing. Hit it again. Nothing. Railed it about ten more times. Nothing.

    I was focused on another SCRT.

    I just wanted to thank you for closing screen, a tail with a lengthy grep, mysql, bind (I was running in the foreground for debugging), and god knows what else.

    That is all.

  10. New standard on New Display Interface Standard in the Works · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this going to include that new DRM-inspired video technology that MS has been touting? I wondered how that would reach the market. I didn't RTFA, and I'm too tired to Google. Don't mod this up, mod up the informed replies. :) G'night.

    [Fact]
    They submit combo of SSN/Name to gov't, for verification.
    [/Fact]
    [Speculation]
    Gov't actually gives a hoot, and follows through.
    [/Speculation]

    Of course, if you've truly "stolen an identity" (proper combo of SSN/Name/et al), you can pretty much do whatever you want anyways.

  12. Re:The truth of the matter is... on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 1

    And somewhat ironically IMHO, in lead generation AOL users are the highest converting-to-sale leads. We're consistently trying to attract more, through ad placement.

  13. Re:Payment on Digital Thieves Use Ex-Employees Accounts · · Score: 1

    Post-9/11, in the states, you need an SSN to open any sort of postage holding (mailboxes)/forwarding account. PayPal has always required an SSN, and they require a verified account of some sort to get any significant amount of funds out of the account. Western Union requires valid ID (ie a State ID (driver's license)). No idea where you came up with all these ideas.

    What methods are used to accurately measure the age of these discovered items? I see wildly different estimates on similar things, depending on who's getting the grant to tell me about it.

    Hi, on behalf of all of us - welcome to Slashdot. If you'll check the line right below the post's subject, you'll see an Author. An Author is the person responsible for originating the content of a "post".

    Uhm, I didn't write the GP post. I was just belittling you for your inability to process information.

    Good day.

    As an American I find it amusing that we run our stuff on GMT, which is in Britain. And now I find out that the Aussies are running on a predominantly American time zone.

  19. Another consideration on Full-Motion Ads Come to Videogames · · Score: 1

    I've seen a lot of posts about how there will likely be mods out there to map out where the ads are located in order to avoid them. Given what the advertisers will want to pay for, they will make the locations of these obvious, like on-map kiosks or full-motion billboards.

    The point:
    Advertisers only pay when the full length of ad was viewed. How long until games start giving people "asylum" on these ad-viewing spots? What happens when you're playing Battlefield 2 and you can't shoot a guy because he's watching an ad?

  21. Re:Funny, that on TSA Violated Privacy Act · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Indeed, I too have been getting "secondary screening" every time I've flown for several months. Interestingly, whomever else is in my party also gets it when we pick up the tickets. Usually my flight companions say that they seldom ever get it. We all fly over a hundred times per year. Not that it should matter, but I'm WASP, so I certainly don't fit any of their misguided cultural profiling. I wonder what other list I'm on. /tinfoil

  22. Re:"don't speed".... ha! on Using Google Maps to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket · · Score: 1

    lol, I grew up in Columbus. For those who aren't, New Rome was a small jurisdiction that was completely disbanded (yes, they nulled out an entire town, and annexed it to the larger city) because it was found to be completely corrupt, issuing insanely excessive traffic citations+fines each day. I won't provide links, google new rome traffic.
