  1. Inside Job on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    Start firing programmers!

    Seriously though, Maybe it's time for a security audit of the facilities, as well as the production sites and printing companies. If they can't keep their shit together, someone else will gladly do it for Rockstar.

  2. Re:Black Ipod? on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it bigger than the white iPod?
    That's what I hear, anyway.

  3. Re:Maybe Im too new, maybe just dense on Students Design A Satellite Via Internet · · Score: 1

    And his previous Slashdot ID, rpiquepa is the second most prolific submitter, with 179 articles submitted.

    Douchebaggery at its finest.

  4. Re:Maybe this is a good sign on "Phishing" Attacks to Increase · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do you kick down a door, or do you try the knob first?

    Also, there are various graduations of criminal, from petty thug to criminal mastermind. There are more thugs than masterminds (mostly because if there were tons of masterminds, all the cool costumes would be taken).

    Read it how you will. This is, I assume, much easier than hacking into the bank. Doesn't mean that you couldn't hack into the bank.

  5. Re:Adult Neopet Addicts?!?! on Neopets Gambling Controversy · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't pay the prostitutes. Problem solved.

  6. Re:At what speed? on To Mars and Back in Ninety Days · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True enough, but the likelyhood that you will encounter some form of debris increases with the distance that you travel. Sit in one spot, not a big deal. We know where a lot of that is and where it's going. Go rocketing around the solar system, Whoo-boy!

  7. Re:At what speed? on To Mars and Back in Ninety Days · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For real perspective, running into all the space debris at this speed would be like hitting a brick wall in an F1 car.

    We're going to need some kind of shielding.

  8. Finally, a voice of reason amidst the madness. on Novell to Defend Open Source Using Patents · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Go Novell!

  9. Re:sorta OT on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1

    It highlights browser extensions as well.

    Also, LSPFix or AdAware's LSP plugin are severly effective, and highly dangerous. A definite and necessary part of any toolkit. For the unintiated, Microsoft's TCP stack allows plugins, which have been used by adware and spyware companies to track you. These will allow you to remove them (as well as valid ones, so be careful!)

  10. Obligitory on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1, Informative

    Install Linux, don't reboot.

  11. Re:Loophole City on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1

    It's a lot better than the 'Visit a website, get p0wn3d' business model. I'll gladly put up with the 'Visit a website, get asked to get p0wn3d', then say no model.

    I just hope that they don't start using sentences like 'Do you not wish to take part in this software, by agreeing to not install this software?'

  12. Re:Maybe another Law isn't necessary on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There is a difference in unnecessary laws, and establishing laws to prevent unethical business practices. Would you like to be egregiously harmed only to be told that, although it should be illegal, nobody has got around to writing a law against what has happened to you, so you might want to go cry somewhere else.

    Good Riddance Gator/Claria. The world will truly be a better place, even if our computer clocs are out of date by a couple minutes, or we don't know what the weather is like in Yemen.

  13. Somehow I don't think that on Computer Networking First-Step · · Score: 1

    stating you have read this book is going to have a positive effect on your System Administrator resume.
    So, in short, go further, or go the the back of the unemployment line.

  14. ummmm, on Congress Plans Space Tourism Regulation · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what navagational shields are for?

  15. Re:No good deed goes unpunished on Congress Plans Space Tourism Regulation · · Score: 1

    So we're fuelled with dreams of naked Martian women?

  16. Be sure to sign NDA's on Congress Plans Space Tourism Regulation · · Score: 1

    So that you can't report the position of the MLB's mind control satellite!

  17. Re:No more Suse? on Interview with Chris Schlaeger from Novell/SUSE · · Score: 2, Funny

    This begs the question, will we end up with N prefixes.. Doesn't work as well as the KMail.

    Maybe they'll just drop Konqueror for Nautalis, and drop the 'g' off of gnome.

    By the way, I pronounce it Soos, mainly to piss off everyone.

  18. Re:Yes on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You stated that VoIP will kill the PBX. I say that you'll still have a PBX in your building for the next twenty years. It might not look like your current one, but it'll be a PBX. It will connect to the conventional phone system as well as the internet, because the missing part of the puzzle is the household phone. To get that to switch, we'll need a high bandwidth, low latency public network to make it work. Our current little project known as 'the Internet' is definitely not that.

  19. Re:Yes on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    A voice t1 is less expensive than a data t1, and a data t1 would be saturated by data alone for most medium to large companies, without adding voice on it. You'll still need a PBX.

  20. Re:Yes on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    The infrastructure is not there yet. When we can get 100 megabit DSL, competitive fiber pricing, or something that will reliably carry a lot of traffic with low latency, then the infrastructure will be there. Until then, the cost is still quite large.

    When was the last time you greased the linkage on the carb?

  22. Re:Consideration - Employee Resistance on AT&T Considers Mac OS X, Linux For 70,000 Desktops · · Score: 1

    Even a highly modded kernel can be saved with something as simple as a rescue disk or by simply renaming the default vmlinuz to vmlinuz.orig and sticking it in the bootloader.

    Even having the ability to net boot would have saved that. In a corporate setting one would expect to have these options and more. Also, I was never of the mindset that one should insanely optimize the kernel for a desktop. If you want to get an extra FPS in Enemy territory, sure, go ahead, but not on work machines.

    Tell your buddy to pay you $50 for a crash course in brain surgery, then change your phone number. Also chanting 'man lilo' over and over might help solve the problem.

  23. Re:Consideration - Employee Resistance on AT&T Considers Mac OS X, Linux For 70,000 Desktops · · Score: 2, Informative

    No spyware, no viruses, ergo no thousand dollar software investments. Also the ability to whack the hard drive in dissimilar hardware without it complaining about reactivation.
