  1. Ummm... on C# Memory Leak Torpedoed Princeton's DARPA Chances · · Score: 1

    ... disagree. Yes, there was glitch they picked up with the way they dealt with the GC. But when they enter the car next year, using C#, they'll be able to get much further.

    Which means that the language did the job very nicely.

    Don't you get it? It's not the language, it's the programmer. I vaguely remember people saying that everything should be done in assembly instead of C or C++. Look where that got them. The truth is, any capable language used correctly can almost always do the job you need. C# is no exception.

  2. Yes, imagine that! on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    All by dressing as a girl.

  3. That's OK on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 2, Funny

    When I gain power, they'll be the first to the wall.

  4. Re:Wow on Rowling Sues Harry Potter Lexicon · · Score: 1

    The above comment has a certain unreal feel to it.

    It's almost as if the parent post thinks they are in The Matrix. That is so 4 years ago.

    The above comment has a certain unreal feel to it.

    It's almost as if the parent post things they are in The Matrix. That is so 4 years ago.

  6. Re:How are they going to claim... on Plagiarizing Wikipedia For Profit · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bingo, got it in one.

    However, the prize for most shameless copyright infringement goes to The Times Of India.

  7. Re:Dork on The Top Ten Off Switches · · Score: 1

    Yup. +3 Insightful indeed.

  8. Re:Toggle FTW! on The Top Ten Off Switches · · Score: 1

    I always wondered how Wilde knew that.

  9. Re:/thread on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    Awesome. Or rather, "egads, move that sausage to the phone!"

  10. Re:Mystifying on How Not to Build a Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight: you are concerned that you need to recharge your multifunction device. Most of these devices last for days! Are you really saying that you can't recharge the darn thing overnight?

  11. Re:I found Jar Jar Binks... on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    I am interested in your comments and would like to sign up to your newspaper. Or rather, as I just read from your post, "the cow is in the fourth slipper" - could you elaborate?

  12. Re:Why are slashdotters on Hidden Music Claimed In Da Vinci Painting · · Score: 1

    Perhaps because slashdotters are sick of stupidity like "The Da Vinci code"?

  13. Re:Whoa! on US Bot Herder Admits Infecting 250K Machines · · Score: 1

    I don't think he's saying that. The poster was saying that embezzlement is worse than robbery in terms of psychology because they were tricked into giving up their goods. Thus it invalidates the faith they have in their judgement.

    I don't think he was saying that robbery doesn't cause psychological scarring.

  14. Re:He did the crime....he should do the time on US Bot Herder Admits Infecting 250K Machines · · Score: 1

    He stole money. He hijacked other people's computers, and potentially violated their privacy. He used a botnet.

    This was not a victimless crime. I'm glad he's getting that jail term and that fine - what did he expect?

  15. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    No... my understanding is that it will take you to the directory above the chroot'ed directory.

  16. Re:Morale booster? on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 1

    Hilarious :-) Someone mod that guy up!

  17. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How the hell is my post a troll?

  18. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    The superuser can escape from a 'chroot jail' by doing 'mkdir foo; chroot foo; cd ..'.

  19. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    I could be misreading something I suppose. When I read "empty" directory, it seems to me to be a directory without any files or directories.

    If you chroot to /home/test/root/ then chroot to /.. then it will chroot to /home/test.

  20. Re:qmail and reiserfs on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    Thought so. I just filed a bug about this one.

  21. Re:Is a sandbox a security solution? on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    Already pointed this out, but DJB is just gaining access to chroot, then dropping privileges.

  22. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    Unless you chroot down a directory. But... I missed his original point, which was to briefly elevate privileges and then drop them.

  23. Re:qmail and reiserfs on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    If so... bug has been filed.

  24. Re:qmail and reiserfs on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    You aren't use Envince, are you? I'm having problems also.

  25. Re:Good article on Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security · · Score: 1

    Ah... so it appears.
