  1. Re:The Linux Complete book on The Linux Documentation Project Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    Very useful if you want to read the howto on connecting your machine to the Internet.

    Aside from that, support HP or Canon and just print all linked pages from the root page. If you can, do this at work, or during the winter so that you won't have to heat your house.

  2. Re:Yesterday's bickering only mindless speculation on Apple to Fix Security Holes in Jaguar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't think that Apple deserves more or less credit than any other company. The same goes for the benefit of the doubt. The only thing that they deserve is us to wait for verification before villianizing the company.

    Apple has not signed up as a Templar knight any more than Microsoft has sold its collective soul to the devil.

    Why couldn't they just test for the presence of chemicals without the nosegun?

    Still down since 2000 if you want to talk long term.
    If you want to talk short term, it's up since Friday, when it took a punch to the belly from Thursday.

    To make a compilation, or to give as a gift to your bratty nephew because you don't know what kind of heroin induced crap he's listening to this week.
    Take your pick.

    Being as the stock market is more down than up anymore, I'd say that yes, it is a coincidence.

    Hopefully Christmas will make these stocks rebound. My portfolio could use a Christmas present.

    Omigod, if that was a woman, I feel bad for whoever has to curl up beside her at night. And I feel bad for the world's food supply.

    Eeech. I need a shower!

    I think that it's become noise-to-signal, kind of like the way Kraft changed it's mac and cheese to cheese and macaroni.

  10. Mailman Mr. Corebreach.. on Terahertz Scanners See Inside Sealed Packages · · Score: 1

    I'd have been here sooner, but your soapbox set off all kinds of alarms when it went through our new Terahertz scanner.

  11. Re:Implimentations on Terahertz Scanners See Inside Sealed Packages · · Score: 1

    Six months ago or so, Slashdot carried a story about a Terahertz scanner that could effectively see through clothing to show hidden weapons. The pictures on the website showed a man with a gun under his clothes. The pictures were not entirely clear, but clear enough to make out a gun (and his man boobies).
    The scanners will be used eventually, if the standard "make it cheap, easy to use, and 50% accurate" requirements are realized.

  14. Re:Illegal on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 1

    No, Maxvision did not do exactly this. He did repair an exploit on machines (the exploit that he used to access the machine in the first place), but he backdoored the machines as well. That's what got him the jailtime.

  15. Re:Glorified PDA on Hardware Makers Unhappy With Tablet Sales · · Score: 1

    The 800mhz to 1.x ghz range just isn't enough for anyone, anymore.

    I hate to disagree, but the 1 ghz range is an excellent range for utility-grade PC's. While they might not be able to stand on their own during a Quake match, one of these tablet PC's has more than enough guts for a client-server application.

    I think that the price is too much for a 1 ghz machine though. These things should be designed to be cheap, throwaway PC's. Something that can be used for applications like warehouse management, electronic patient charts, or similar. They are data-access machines, not data-creation machines.

  20. Re:Those Aussies love their outlaws on Tridgell and Samba Recognized · · Score: 2, Informative

    The criminals and ne're-do-wells were mostly comprised of people who couldn't afford to pay the exhorbanant taxes, or 'stole the kings deer' by illegally hunting to feed their family. Any real criminal minds were hanged or otherwise killed.

    Although 'Crocidile Dundee 1-3' Should be a crime in my book, the vast majority of Australians (and their ancestors) are in fact innocent, and not of criminal genetic stock.

    Trolls, like Religion, dissappear when the truth comes to light.

    Actually, I am quite versed in the use of MS SQL, and know that it is indeed stable. I also know that poorly written 3rd party apps can fuck it hardcore. Is this the DB's fault? Of course not. Will it ruin your day? If it indexes your porn collection, it certainly will.
    I'll let it play with unimportant data like financials, but it ain't getting my porn!

  24. Re:How wrong you are on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    You're splitting hairs. Panama was part of Columbia, hence South America, until the U.S. staged a coup. Grenada is actually considered part of North America, although for political reasons.
    How about I phrase it this way: Central America and the Carribean? Does that make it any better?
    Does that make the killing right?
