    For one, it explains that the program does not work with 802.11g or WEP yet... All it's doing it detecting an HTTP header and injecting pictures into it. So if SSL puts out an HTTP header, I'm assuming it will work with it.

  6. Bad News... on The Dark Side Of DefCon's Wireless Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder what this will be for people at home browsing the internet on their wireless computers. There's nothing parents can do to stop their children from seeing images that are being injected like this with Frank next door beaming modified HTTP requests through the neighbourhood. The only way to do that would be a) Disabling *ALL* images displayed on their web browser b) Running wires through the house. I'll be this will be another push for WEP and other forms of wireless encryptions. I wouldn't want my 4 year old nephew opening up internet explorer to find a Playboy bunny sitting on the top of their MSN.ca startup page! Anyways... back to sleep...

  9. Huge Breakthrough! on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered how other people see things. For instance, colours, forcus, etc etc... I'm pretty sure I'm no the only one too. Having this would be beneficial to scientists learning about what kinds of colours people see, survalence, etc etc... I wonder how much this technology would cost, and how hard it would be to implement into someone's brain!

  11. Release Group? on Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger · · Score: 1

    Hmm you wonder how many of these people are actually involved in a release group, say UTi, or rather for their own viewing/bragging pleasure. "Hey guys look, I got the cam version of Spiderman2 before you guys can download it!" I dunno, cams are completely worthless to me. Anyone (well maybe not anymore...) can just take a cam into a theater and start filming. However, someone with a DVD copy, has to have skill ;)

    Hmm I wonder what blue laser would look like compared to say http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/lights/5a47/ ... As the colour spectrum goes Red-Orange-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet. Wonder how long it'll take those lasers to hit the market to the average consumer, unless they have already??

  13. Importance.. on Court Says Customers May Take IPs Away From ISP · · Score: 1

    I do know this is a matter of great importance at the moment. I do however, do not believe it will be in the near future, when IPv6 becomes much more of a standard. IPv4 is running out of addresses very quickly, when an average person with a cellphone, home internet, wireless interent, all reduce the number of IPv4 addresses available. Yes, this is a problem right now! I wonder if this ruling may help in the spread of IPv6!

  14. Routers? on Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs? · · Score: 1

    Hm. What if someone decided to hook up the schools connection to a router, then put their windows boxen behind it? This would show up as a *NIX based computer would it not? I wonder if the school(s) would find ways to figure out things like this type of walk-around?

  15. Fluctuations... on Napster and Best Buy Joining Forces · · Score: 1

    Napster has sure had a rough time since they started up many years go. Started up with their free service which was probably the most loved at the time. After a while, they basically got shut down by all the artists that didn't realize that their music was impossible to stop being spread over the internet. They then started back up with their pay service, which got knocked out by Apple's iTunes service. Now, they're joining Best-Buy! I don't know, maybe this is a repeat of the past? Who knows!

  16. Well... on Lessons Learned From Blaster · · Score: -1, Troll

    Great that this is just 2 posts away from some extremely stupid posts. People saying that viruses are unable to get installed by unpatched pc's without user intervention. Some people I tell you. Yes it is kind of offtopic, but hey, it's relevant!

  17. Crazy! on Sony Launches Three Linux-based In-car Navigation Devices · · Score: 1

    Wow, talk about the future! I'm suprised Windows never got to one of these devices before Linux did, really! Most in car stuff (if not modified by the user) is ran by some Microsoft-related product. It's still kind of steep in pricing, but it'll definetly come in price sooner. I wonder what competition's devices will be like? All we can do is wait!

  18. Good News... on Bluetooth Gets Faster & Requires Less Power · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good news for bluetooth for sure. The backwards compatibility is a really nice touch too. Bluetooth was lacking any upgrades for some time really, but reducing power consumption, while making it much faster was a really good change. One of the problems people faced with bluetooth was the data transfer speeds (excluding the range of it compared with wifi). This could allow bluetooth to become much more popular than it has been in the past...

    When you mentioned the smartest thing IBM could do would be shipping those 20 tonnes of paper to SCO, you should have added shipping it via COD ;)

  20. Re:OpenSOURCE! on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 1

    Don't you think the school would rather have computers that work, and not have to be updated for some time? My school runs a windows proxy and router, running windows 2000 on each computer. They just threw out hundreds of PI 133's which could have still been used by putting something other than windows on it. To me it's just a waste of money and computer power!

  21. OpenSOURCE! on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know as a fact, that computer systems in schools cost a huge amount of dollars (buying licenses for hundreds of computers at a time). I think the move to open source for schools will reduce the amount of prices associated with computers and allow for that money saved to be put towards something other than software (like gym equipment, or something more useful). When they move to open source operating systems, that will dramatically decrease problems associated with Windows (as there are right now)...

  22. My next purchase on Constructing A Low-Power 2U Wireless Rack-Box · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've been planning on getting one of these little things for a a while now (the pcmcia model). I want it to replace my current PII 233 bulky router. The only drawback is the price of it I think. Size is really small, it's fast, and really quiet. The space where my servers are is very limited, and I'd rather not have it all used up by a router...

  23. It's crazy on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What i've always wondered on my plan, is why text messaging costs more than phoning. I'm on pay and talk at the moment, while phoning costs like 5 cents per minute, and texting costs 15 cents per message. It's crazy! Texting takes longer to type, you can only get like 140 CHARACTERS per message, and yet it costs 3 times more! I dont know, but texting should be like internet, you pay a certain fee per month, and you get unlimited messaging. What cost for bandwidth does a little bit of words cost???

  25. Not necessarily the best for all... on BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    Personally, I use one called djbdns. It's extremely small and basically bug free! The author actually will pay $50,000 to whoever finds the first exploit in it or something. If you don't need all the extra power that bind offers, this is a much better way to go. Less memory and space required, meaning cheaper systems may run it better. Even the config file can't be simpler!! cat /etc/tinydns/root/data .pnet:10.0.3.33:a:259200 .10.in-addr.arpa::ns.pnet: #Define hosts & aliases =pollux.pnet:10.0.3.1 =altair.pnet:10.0.3.2
