    And me. In case I'm not included. Down with beige.

  3. Am I the only one... on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 1

    Who initially thought it was insane to charge a device driver with murder?

  4. Enough... on LiveCD for Secure Web Browsing? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just using Knoppix/DSL should be enough, you don't have to worry about the CD being able to access the harddrive. Just use a base Mozilla with no extensions or whatever, and type in your bank's URL manually and don't do anything else. That should make you 99.99999% safe, excepting the .00001% chance God and Jesus hate you and are conspiring to ruin your life. Good luck.

  5. Blackhole email addresses... on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    I've used my REAL email address and had it denied as "already used"... bastards. An AIM search on my email address returns too many results.

    (Not kidding, though I've moved on from that email address. I received 0 spam on in in the four years I've used it, and I've changed it subtly to avoid that changing without losing the message.)

    Open source ASM program? Isn't the source code to ANY ASM program open source? (Easily disassembled, should get the same thing, sans MASM/NASM niceties) I guess comments might be nice, but in the end you're just gonna be adding another "Fuck the victim" section.

  9. Re:Ok all you technicality asshats on Security Statistics and Operating System Conventional Wisdom · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough, with my example the equivelant test would be Apache on Windows as well. IIS just isn't as widespread, as much as I'd love to include it with Windows. And, although the Linux community does it as well, it's mostly journalists who get it wrong. It is, I admit, very hard to get it right without confusing your readers. Mostly people have only seen the word "Kernel" in white text with a blue background.

  10. Re:Ok all you technicality asshats on Security Statistics and Operating System Conventional Wisdom · · Score: 1

    It depends. "Linux" (As a word) is so grossly overused, it's just a buzzword for whatever a writer wants it to mean. I've seen "Critical Updates" for things like games allowing remote execution of code (Can't remember when it was, or what it was. Don't think it was long ago, but I laughed hard). I say count MS core bugs, and count "Linux" bugs inherent to the kernel and things such as Apache, etc. that are going to likely be running in a server environment. Also, don't test for things such as Apache with EVERYTHING installed. (Or whatever, but security analyses are mostly done for servers. Remember the #1 rule: Fuck the user).

  11. Re:Um....couldn't you just change it yourself? on Online MD5 Cracking Service · · Score: 1

    Proof of concept. Just like all of the Linux and OSX viruses. (I'm sure there are POC viruses on Windows, too, but they are the exception rather than the rule).

  12. Re:Where's Money's roll today? on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you're using a PFM to track your slurpee purchases, perhaps you should be spending money more wisely, and not buying PFM's... If the slice in the pie chart for Quicken is 25% of the whole, you should just do it yourself.

  15. cleanup... on Zinc Whiskers Cripple Colorado's Computers · · Score: 1

    Empty the computer room of all computers, and circulate the air through a filter that has somewhat dilute hydrochloric acid (Or whatever cheap stong acid) absorbed into it. The zinc will react to form ZnCl2 which will dissolve in the water. Shouldn't be to costly. Have one IT staffer and some grunts do it.

    I think the RIAA just thinks you're cute. The MPAA is screwing the rest of us with DVDs. (This two minute waiting period sucks.)

  17. Re:Why not more popular? on (Real) Intelligent NiMH Chargers? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are MANY combinations that yield .75 volts. It's a huge table, and deviations of up to .3 are common, as we've seen (Though problematic), showing a deviation of .15 should be managable. This, however, makes manufacture more expensive, since they still require the same dimensions of a standard one cell battery. Resistors would add to this as well. Rechargables are ALREADY much more costly that alkalines, adding resistors and separate cells wouldn't help that. And, a two cell battery the size of an AA would last half as long as a one cell battery the size of an AA.

  18. Re:Spam... I just don't get it. on SpamAssassin Gets a Promotion · · Score: 1

    I anticipated that response soon enough, heh. I think not being stupid is one reason for not getting spam. Though I doubt spambots would pick it up here (Slashdot is not a great place to mine for emails, most of them are obscured).

    However, I've seen an article (On /.?) from a guy who bought one of those lists to look at it. Tons of duplicates, many "abuse@*," "admin@*," etc. I can imagine many have NOSPAM in them. I wouldn't be surprised if /. was just a source of screwed up email addresses in lists.

    I await the day that Yahoo et al. start automatically removing NOSPAM from incoming mails...

  19. Re:Why not more popular? on (Real) Intelligent NiMH Chargers? · · Score: 1

    Look up a standard reduction potential table. There ARE technological reasons.

    Voltage = (Reduction potential of the cathode) - (reduction potential of the anode)

    Rechargable batteries are limited to only those substances whose oxidizing agent adheres to the anode. (This sentence is error-laden, so sue me. I hate Chemistry.)

  20. Spam... I just don't get it. on SpamAssassin Gets a Promotion · · Score: 1

    I intended that to mean "understand," but really, I don't get any. Just have a regular (Well, recently upgraded to ad-free) mail.com address, and I get exactly 0 spam emails. Don't even know specifically of any spam-blocking software.

    That could work. Possibly sort them chronologically only up until a certain year, then have separate areas for different brands. (Brands being, Apple, IBM, and 'etc.'). And to all the grammar nazis (I know you're out there) I know what et cetera means; I'm just pointing out that all the little IBM clones should be lumped together for the most part. I also don't mean literally only three sections, but I don't know enough about what they have to be thorough anyway.

  25. Worst. Bias. Ever. on WinXP SP2 Sacrifices Compatibility for Security · · Score: 1

    I hate Windows. (Except for games)

    That said, this is a pro-active step. People have bashed MS and Intel for keeping too much legacy crap, and now the MS finally decides it should take some out, we get this story bashing them. I applaud them, and put a lone tally mark in the "Benevolent column." I might have erased one from the "Satan column," but it's much too crowded and I don't want to accidentally erase more than one.
