  1. Re:Backups online evault.com on Online Backup Solutions? · · Score: 1

    They use encryption too so no worries. You just upload changes everynight so it doesn't kill the bandwidth.

  2. Re:Spammer gets a moral wake up call on Perl's Chip Salzenberg Sued, Home Raided · · Score: 0

    So you guys all think they employed a perl coder to do legit things? He probably designed all of these techniques for evading blocks. I stated I don't know the guy or the situation, but it seems a little convienient that someone with some serious perl skills suddenly has a moral moment of clarity after the termination of his employment about what it was he was doing there.

  3. Spammer gets a moral wake up call on Perl's Chip Salzenberg Sued, Home Raided · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why should anyone care that a former spammer is now in trouble from his crappy employer. He suddenly has a strong moral conviction of what his employer is doing after his house got raided. He's not a whistle blower if he participated in this business. Not saying that I know what happened, but doesn't sound like much of a whistle blower to me.

  4. Acceptable Use on Texas Bill to Filter Highway Rest Stop Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you provide a service, you should be allowed to define acceptable use of it.

    Basically it will also prevent bandwidth waste and save money.

  5. E107.org on CMS for High School Newspaper Website? · · Score: 1

    Really good CMS Features news, portals, lots of themes / looks/ feels, chatbox, forums, calendar etc. It's perfect. www.e107.org www.e107themes.org

    not really a frat, but it's a community thing :)

  7. rdesktop.org on Small, Fast RDP Client? · · Score: 2, Informative

    is really easy to install and works perfectly as far as I can tell.

  8. Look at the Source MSN!?! on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    Hello this is a marketing ploy to get people to use WMA's and be DRM'ed to death. mp3's made the internet cool :)

  9. mail servers need RBL + Spam assassin on So You Want To Host Your Own Linux Mail Server ... · · Score: 2

    you have to provide at least two layers of spam filtering + antivirus filtering. otherwise you're asking for it. Setting up a linux box to host email is asked to be used as a relay.

    Weeeeeird Windows is da debil.

  11. The Linux Documentation Project! on Linux Admininstration Resources? · · Score: 1

  12. It comes with a mouse on PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It comes with a USB mouse that connects to the keyboard also.

    I'm the sucker who bought it for $200 when i came out a long time ago.

    It's pretty cool, but the Ps2 only has 32MB ram so it sucks as a desktop. You could use it to check your emails on tv, but you would have to swap the video cable and the memory card (which acts as a boot disk) to play a game on it.

    I honestly haven't touched it since i got it, it provided a week of entertainment.

  13. what? on Summer Businesses for High School Students? · · Score: 1

    So we're supposed to write your business plan for you?? If people here have business ideas or ways of making money they should keep them to themselves :D

  14. Re:Whole new online warfare on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    You can already have back up power (generator/ups) and have surge protectors for you power. I merely meant, you're having a more direct connection to the power from your nic card. It could really damage the equipment if not filtered properly.

  15. Whole new online warfare on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This could lead to some interesting power surge attacks in the future to disrupt communications etc . I Like the speed and the price, but I don't know about plugging my nic into the outlet.

  16. Php Portal software? on Web Site Mock-ups and StoryBoarding? · · Score: 1

    I think the PHP portal software is pretty cool for setting up a quick layout. check out phpnuke, e107.org, and phpportal. They all do a decent job. Even slashdot's backend is available for download.

  17. BOOO on SA Explorer 8000SD/HD Experiences Y2K-like Bug · · Score: 1

    i have this model. It's been great otherwise.

    One doesn't ever seem like enough. Like blacklist + spamassassin. how come you can never get to the links in the spam anyway, what's the point ? :)

  21. Re:My Take on Sony Europe's Exclusive Game Deals Raise Ire · · Score: 1

    c'mon really. This is what makes it a competitive world. I have gamecube because you can't get zelda/mariocart/metroid on any other platform and I have ps2 for all the cool rockstar games. The game is played both ways. Gamecube is a great family system. Ps2 is a great older teen /20's system. Nintendo probably wouldn't release gta 3 on their system. So, rockstar takes the exclusive money, and saves on R&D and marketing to the other game systems. :)

  22. My Take on Sony Europe's Exclusive Game Deals Raise Ire · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it's fine as long as it's on PS2 :) Although that Xbox with all the games and emulators on it is cool. It's probably not all that easy to migrate it from a ps2 (64bit) to xbox (Intel) to Gamecube(who knows what). Besides in asia, xbox sales are weak from what I've heard. Even gamecube is more popular. Don't know what the E.U. stats come to, but I imagine they are the same. :)

  23. External Mouse on What Extras Should I Buy When Buying a Laptop? · · Score: 4, Informative

    i hate touch pads :)
    Get wireless B/G card. B is common, and G is fast and will be more common in the future.
    On a side note, I just got the widescreen 15.4 inch kind, and I really like it. Good for watching DVD's :)
    Toshiba makes a nice laptop

    You have no idea about this vulnerability. I'm talking about bank passwords to https websites, slashdot passwords, not corporate passwords. You can't train your clients if you are a bank.
    You shouldn't answer things you know nothing about.

  25. TCO of recent Microsoft Updates on Energy Company Refutes Windows TCO Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How much is it costing when M$ releases a patch for IE (last week) and it erases all of your IE passwords? Imagine the call centers and helpdesks getting slammed for password resets because people don't know what their account info is.
