  1. Yesterday on Sony Announces Upcoming 1.3GB CD Products · · Score: 1

    Yesterday,
    All my floppies seem so far away
    and yet they are here to stay...
    Oh I wish it was yesterday.

  2. Cops on Gas-Powered Shoes? · · Score: 1

    Bad Boys, Bad Boys,
    watcha gonna do?
    watcha gonna do,
    when they leap for you!

  3. Double the input! Seperate your brain hemisphere on One-Finger Keyboarding? · · Score: 1

    With this kind of keyboard, we'll be able to double the data entry across the industry.

    After several hundred years, we'll be hemispherical dual-use brained by evolution.

    Thanks Darwin!

  4. Gone are the old days on Intel Cancels 800 MHz Xeon · · Score: 1

    This means that speedbumps are a thing of the past. With the upcoming TransMeta Crusoe, that should put the heat on Intel's tail.

  5. 5000 GHz Transporter Frequency on How Many Frequency Bands Are There? · · Score: 1

    There is no room in the FCC-regulated frequency band for my transciever.

    I got this newly invented Star-Trek styled Transporter. It takes a 5000 GHz wide multi-spectral frequency band.

    It takes somewhere from 20Mhz for the Transporter's ISDN D channel (for coordinate transport and other control channels).

    And its enhanced Z^10K (Z channel x 10,000) needs to take up the entire 100Mhz to 10,000 GHz code and time-based divison/frequency hopping.

    Who wants to be stuck in the transport buffer for eons waiting for a 19K mobile phone to transmit his entire Human Genome?

    Dammit, FCC, we can't get no where with this agency.

  6. HALT! on Creating BSODs? · · Score: 1

    How much simpler can one get?

  7. Drive '57 Chevy for an instant ozone layer on NASA Prototype: Could It Make Mars Breathable? · · Score: 1

    Take a couple of vintage gasoline-powered vehicles and run them non-stop for instant ozone layer!

  8. WinDSL on WinDSL Coming? · · Score: 1

    For the elite DSL user (8Mb/1Mb streams), I can only wonder about the hardware overhead associated with PCI bus access for DSL firmware access PLUS data packet transfer over PCI bus.

    If only Motorola can give their specs out freely and without NDA, then LinuxDSL is a trivial matter.

  9. Where's the BEEF? on ACM World Final Standings Posted · · Score: 2

    Great Final Standings! But, how the heck are we going to know what the code is?

    I mean, where is the beef?

    Like any beauty contest, we gotta see the gams and curves in the codes.

    Forget the judges (they are fine anyway), I wanna see the beef!

    Where is the beef?

  10. Behind the RIAA Scene: Microsoft on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    An Operating System giant would have a reason, motive and need to generate the anti-Linux firestorm.

    MP3 rippers and DVD player is just another soon-to-be-backfired, MS-generated but RIAA-originated FUD.

    MS, you didn't get your money's worth from RIAA.

  11. Donald Becker for Unsung Hero... on Vote:Unsung Hero · · Score: 2
    Donald Becker, Open Source Unsung Hero

    Die-hard Open Source programmer that help maintained and delivered most common Linux network drivers ranging from IDE/PCI Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, 100VG Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, PCMCIA Ethernet and supported Infrared Networking for a wide range of platforms (Intel, Sun, Mac).

    Let us not forget Beowulf

    I've put many hours support his endeavor and would like to see his name recognized for all of us hard workers.

  12. Donald Becker of NASA on Category: Unsung Hero · · Score: 1
    Donald Becker!


    Check this link as to why this guy should get all the kudos:

  13. Donald Becker; Unsung Driver Hero on Category: Unsung Hero · · Score: 1
    Donald Becker works tirelessly toward improvement of many drivers, PCMCIA and Beowulfs without flail or flinch.

    They ranged from Cluster Driver, Gigabits Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, 10Mb Ethernet, Token Ring, CardBus, PCMCIA, PCI, ISA network cards.

    This one dream maintainer of multiple Linux software drivers that I haven't seen any equals in a long time.

    I marvel and help tested the Intel EtherExpress 100+ Pro. This card is surely to be in the next shootout for maximum small (64b) and large (1500b) packet throughput utilization.

    Gotta start testing SMP/EEPRO100+!

  14. Unable to verify Auditor/Law Firm/Transfer Agent on LinuxOne At It Again? · · Score: 2

    All three key player of the IPO: Issuer's Law Firm, Auditor, Transfer Agent are low-profile first time player. www.ipo.com

    I have not been successful in getting the address of the Auditor (using WWW tenacious and privacy busting databases).

    Until these information are substantiated, I would steer clear of their upcoming Jan 31st IPO.

  15. Gets worse UNLESS 3 things occurs... on Jane's Intelligence Review Needs Your Help With Cyberterrorism · · Score: 1

    This day's computing infrastructure is too dynamic to determine whether it will get worse or better.

    IMHO, it will get worse unless some of the following occurs.

    1. Thorough Recovery planning
    2. Proactive security checks
    3. Preemptive strike (largely non-existant)

    Preemptive strike is non-existant due to the fact that most everyone do not have the time or energy to go after the perpretrator within the instant the breach occurs.

    Until three things happens for EVERYONE, the breach pattern will get worse.

  16. Recovery, if planned, works on Jane's Intelligence Review Needs Your Help With Cyberterrorism · · Score: 1

    Recovery is definitely a required study and planned for event. And a definite must.

    Most CIOs do not plan very well for fast recovery. Then again, most CIOs would not be able to define MODEM accurately like most 6th graders can.

  17. All systems are breachable on Jane's Intelligence Review Needs Your Help With Cyberterrorism · · Score: 1

    All systems are breachable whether they be physical, social-engineering or electronic-based attack. Only true security is an Orange Book A1 in a standalone guarded room with ZERO connections to the Internet.

  18. COTS do wonderful CT on Jane's Intelligence Review Needs Your Help With Cyberterrorism · · Score: 1

    Thanks due to widespread distribution, it is possible to jam a specified host over a network with tools like PING, TRACERT, SPRAY, DoS, LAND, TEARDROP.

    Shareware (although not exactly a COTS) contributes the lion's share of this capability.

  19. Skills required on Jane's Intelligence Review Needs Your Help With Cyberterrorism · · Score: 1

    Basically, if the original cracker develops an algorithm to exploit a weakness, he/she may package it for wide-spread distribution.

    So, ultimately, the skill requirements is largely based on the redistribution level and user-friendliness of the cracker tool.

  20. NETWORKSOLUTIONS has a broken form on Commerce Dept. Orders NSI to Open "Whois" Database · · Score: 1

    The damn "Modify Existing Domain Name Registration" form is missing a TEXT field box for the organization name.

    I can't even modify my entry!

  21. Traffic Shaper works well with Cable Modem AUP on Ask Slashdot: Low Cost IP-based Traffic Shaping? · · Score: 1

    With RedHat Traffic Shapping and TCP Wrapper (for blocking ISP's port scan and compliance with AUP server ban), one can get a very fine industrial type web server that is at least accessible and suppresses your traffic profile to those below your neighbor kid's Quake Server or MP3 FTP site.

  22. Re:Linux 2.2.x QOS on Ask Slashdot: Low Cost IP-based Traffic Shaping? · · Score: 1

    Perfect for low-profiling your high-traffic web server from the packet-sniffing cable modem ISPs.

    Perfect when used with TCP wrapper and " DENY".
