  1. America's Army on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    America's Army is free i just downloaded it :) it's pretty sweet. go check it out. It's more realistic too, ie no missle super guns and cheats that I know of.

  2. Re:Comcast On Demand/ DVR on TiVo and DirecTV in a Cellular-Only Household? · · Score: 1

    Directv doesn't work when it rains. Also Comcast DVR has HBO on demand, and free ondemand shows and programming. Directv tivo requires a phone line to stay up to date.

  3. Intellectual Property Under products? on Five PC Vendors Face Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know they are a bunch of lawyers when they have a menu option called "Intellectual Property" under products. That is not a product. They should be thrown out of court. Besides, everyone knows the aliens invented the transistors for us :D

  4. Comcast On Demand/ DVR on TiVo and DirecTV in a Cellular-Only Household? · · Score: 1

    I have a Comcast DVR and it's only $10 a month. I think tivo is $15 and you have to buy equipment. See if your digital cable provider has DVR Equipment. It does not require internet/phone line at all.

    They think they are god or something? trying to create themselves :) that's funny. FIX CANCER and AIDS already.

  9. eVault Has a nice solution on Reliable, Affordable Online Backup Providers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You install evault on your main file servers, they upload any changes at nite (the original upload takes a while as it uploads everything). Then when you need your databack, you just download it or they can mail it to you on any number of physical mediums. :) http://www.evault.com/

  10. EULA's allow for backup copies to be made on UbiSoft Blocks Virtual Drives With Raven Shield Patch · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I thought most EULA's allow a person to make backup copies. It's legal to make/keep back up copies of software you purchased. I would think this control is improper. Granted they uses these imaging products to make illegal copies too, but that shouldn't prevent a user making legit backup copies from playing online.

  11. Lab Ideas on Designing a Security Lab? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can use knoppix STD and Phlak Bootable linux distros to keep the machines clean and give the students tools and "hacking" experience. I also recommend Target machines (i.e. windows server(web/email etc), solaris server, linux server, couple windows desktops) and make sure you keep symantec ghost images so you can bring them back to state quickly. Additionally, Firewalls, VPNs, IDS (snort is a good one to learn on). links to stuff: www.phlak.org (pro hacker linux assault kit) www.knoppix.org (cdrom zero foot print linux) www.symantec.com (ghost harddrive image software) www.snort.org (Network intrusion detection)

  14. Re:can't cheap out on this one on Wireless Cellular Data Services? · · Score: 1

    The verizon network is like 144Kbps. It's like two modems or isdn I guess. Can't use it everywhere. it's $99 unlimited where i'm from.

  15. Name them after medicines on Naming Your Character In RPGs? · · Score: 1

    I choose the Hotshots part duex naming convention. Advil Midol Prozac You name it ! :)

  16. Re:'til the first hacker comes along on Switch On For Powered Data Networks · · Score: 1

    Use encryption. Eat your peas.
    Anyway...
    What about running data over power lines? That's the other side of this wonderful coin. Power companies are gonna compete with the telcos once they figure out how to do it. :)

  17. Re:Just Curious on Microsoft Releases SP4 for Windows 2000 · · Score: 1

    It didn't kill my IIS/Coldfusion Production server. Thank god. Happy killing! :)

  18. CONTRA - BEST CO-OP on Two Players, One Console, Cooperative Play? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about contra? best co-op game ever. Also like Baluders Gate for PS2 as a CO-OP. I have gauntlet dark legends for PS2 also. Great game.

    all i can say is , OVER MY DEAD BROWSER~ nobody will forsake the google :)

  20. Re:DOes it work ? on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    Umm maybe it's not air born radar, but fixed narrow radar. :) Or even a laser they are calling radar (hint). The point is, if a parked car is in front of you 100m it's not going to apply the breaks unless you're headed for it AND there is a dramatic approach vector. Mercedes has this in the AMG line already but it's more of a smart cruise control so u don't have to reset it all the time.

  21. Mercedes System already does this on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 4, Informative

    The AMG benz's come with a cruise control system that when active will slow down if a car in front of you is going slower then you, and speed back up to cruise speed when they get out of your way. It can apply up to 20% of the breaking force of the vehicle too if there is a sudden stop. you can look at it and watch a flash presentation on the website. To the dork programmer who doesn't understand how it works: That's why honda didn't hire you for the project :) You only activate such a system above certain speeds. So basically it's an autopilot system for a car, but people always change lanes without looking so now they need to invent something to lock the steeringwheel :D

  22. Jazz essentials on What Jazz Records Would You Reccommend? · · Score: 1

    Well I'm a trumpet player so I recommend : anything maynard fergesson or arturo sandoval and also Blues and the Abstract Truth (Oliver Nelson and Freddie Hubbard on trumpet) Good stuff.

  23. Security Tome on Websites of Knowledge? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If information assurance is ur bag, www.infosyssec.com is a pretty great resource. Lots of links to good stuff. Their news site www.snpx.com is good too. and Funny.
