  1. Re:One word on How To Enable Mom w/ Encrypted E-Mail? · · Score: 1
    One word? Last I looked at a dictionary, "don't" == "do_not"

    Therefore, number_of_words{do, not} = 2

    I have not found any equation which proves that 2 == 1

    Just my two cents at being a prick ;)

  3. HP OpenView Operations on Network Monitoring and Alerting? · · Score: 1

    At my workplace, we're using HP-OVO. We have 300+ HP-UX, 200+ Windows and 50-odd Linux servers. It is highly customizable and allows you to set up what all to monitor, the time slots within which to ignore them, etc etc etc. You basically have to install SPIs (Smart Plug-Ins) for each of the parts you wanna monitor (OS, DB, hardware, custom applications...)

    And yes, it can also be configured to alert you via email/SMS.

    However, at the same time, said people are admitting in court that they downloaded (or attempted to download) media for which they didn't hold the copyright.

    How about downloading the illegal content, being infected and THEN going out to purchase just that one piece of music/media? Would they care to check the receipts to see if the work was bought before or after the download?

    Since when did /.ers start having women as part of their lives?? As far as I knew we were all part of a clan of single solitary geeks.

  7. Black tape! on True Wide-Screen with Digital Video? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I were in your shoes, I'd use some black tape and stick it carefully onto a part of the camcorder's viewfinder. This way, you can film in the max widescreen resolution it supports, then run it thru filters that give you the resolution you need.

    At the end, you won't lose details in your movie 'cos you saw only what you wanted; NOT what was being filmed!

  9. 200 IBMs and 80 Macs on IBM Puts PC Business Up for Sale · · Score: 1
    So what will happen to the phrase repeated oh-so-often at my university - "we have 200 IBMs and 80 Macs available to the students 24/7".

    At this point I'd like to point out that the PCs are not actual IBMs, but HPs. Yet, we all call them 'IBMs'.

    Data loss can be further reduced by having a 'catcher' wearing a customised outfit, so as to minimise the sudden impact on the disk. Something like a sumo wrestler wearing baseball gloves

  16. Re:Not necessarily on Taipei to Cloak City in World's Largest Wi-Fi Grid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you can have multiple networks on multiple channels in the same geographic area

    But this would mean having redundant access points. If you run, say 8 channels in the same area, you'll have 8 times the number of access points - one per channel.

    Does anyone know of industrial-use access points that can be visible on multiple channels simultaneously? This would be a very interesting solution for setups that require different access levels for different types of users.

  17. WiFi vs wired broadband on Taipei to Cloak City in World's Largest Wi-Fi Grid · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong - isn't the bandwidth over wireless shared by the users connected to a particular access point?

    Say, if AP1 (100 Mb/s connection) has 10 users, each one gets 10 Mb/s. But if 20 users were to connect, won't each one get 5 Mb/s?

    I was genuinely wondering if there's a way for the e-voting machine manufacturers to reveal the exact code that was used on the physical voting machines. This could put to sleep quite a bit of the often-unpleasant debating going around all over the world (apart from /., of course).
