  1. NO group in dc -- weird on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 1

    I learned to hack and pick locks ( we won't get into credit cards... ) when I went to Capitol Institute of Technology in Laurel MD. Lots of us at the college got into a lot of locks, um, i mean we really got into lock picking!! The area must have changed a lot since then... Athough I heard today of a resurfacing of Marion Barry.... Great place to study Any more Capitol College geeks out there.. Specifically... Anyone else in THE Capitol College Torture Research Club? Come on.. Little john? King Prozac? Don Jay? I know you guys read /. It's not like you guys have HOT DATES between SHADOWRUN sessions...

  2. DMCA on MS-Sun Agreement Leaves Opening For OO.org Suits · · Score: 1

    Did you ever doubt it? Microsoft has encrypted their newest file formats, so if openoffice.org reverse engineers them they can be sued for defeating encryption. This is how they can make office and office.org incompatible in order to hold onto their dominance in they office department. Did you see the comments in the article re: the fact that open office is officially named openoffice.org and therefore is not included in the agreement? -- HAHAHAHAHA

  3. Our own system on Satellite Pics Going Dark? · · Score: 1

    If the satellites are down to $65,000 why don't we start buying and deploying our own communications system so we can stop bitching about the governments'. A nice data haven wouldn't be bad either...

  4. SECRET SERVICE? on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 1

  6. I can finally grow a third arm on Grow Your Own Replacement Bones · · Score: 1

    I have always wanted to grow a third arm, out my back that can reach over my head and shade my eyes so I can save money on sunglasses. I love progress!!!

  7. SPECIAL AFFECTS on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    They were the most tastefully done ever. Nothing like true craftsmanship and a good story.

  8. Data havens!!! on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    Let's all throw in and buy an oil drilling platform, park it in international waters, form our own national government there, and stash all our data there. If we still have any money left a few communications satellites could allow us to access the data. Screw the U.S. I am moving to another freakin' country.... Maybe we could colonize the ocean? We GOTTA do something..

  9. WATCH OUT!! on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 1

    They could get arrested for that if the device doesn't recognize the broadcast flag.. Where did they get this movie? hmmm...

  10. Data Havens on Information Preservation and Data Havens? · · Score: 1

    How much would it cost us, divided by registered members to buy a used oil drilling platform, put it in international waters. Also as part of the project put up a few small communications satellites to allow access to the oil platform worldwide. (or at least where slashdot users are grouped). That way we could open-source the legal system, and create our own international site for a "DATA HAVEN". Alternately, it might be easier to just all move to Vanuatu... Seriously, there are a lot of slashdot users, and many make decent money. Let's build our own country in international waters. The ultimate off-site backup

  11. CARTELS SETTING PRICES ARE ILLEGAL on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isnt' this obviously illegal? In America price-setting cartels were outlawed after the era of oil, steel, and railroad monopolies. The i-tunes customers should contact the justice department. What is this russia?

  12. working from home on Work No Longer a Place but an Activity · · Score: 1

    I am currently moving out of the head office. My head office is in PA, but I have decided to move to Sacramento, CA. My skills are very much in demand, so my boss is considering sending me my work there. As a civil engineering draftsman, familiarity with my co-workers, cheap 36" scans, broadband, and my ability to supply and support my own very expensive engineering software make me a very attractive home worker. WOO FREAKIN HOO CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!!!!

  13. It's the government on US Losing its Scientific Dominance · · Score: 1

    American is no longer a free country, and the intelligent among us do not want to put up with it. President bush's soundbyte politics is only the icing on the cake. The american flag has become a whip cracking across it's people's backs. People are getting fed up with getting harassed by steroid laden cops constantly pulling everyone over. We do not want to pay the social price of the drug war, never mind the war on terror. Many people are finding it more attractive to live in places like ireland, germany, and canada. I myself just quit my job and am moving to canada for this reason. keep on rocking in the free world the school sytem is too slow for my children

  16. Remember the point on MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software · · Score: 1

    The whole point of the anti RIAA campaign was to bust the monopoly and force them to start selling music online. (Remember they wouldn't even consider it) We have won -- I have been listening to garageband.com all day. People know that downloaded music is of decent quality, their perceptions have changed. I tunes is kicking, etc. etc.. move on hack your matrix www.asdreams.org

  17. nature vs. man on A New Ice Age? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We should be trying to maintain global warming.

    temps for last 150,000 yrs (you need flash and ie)

    This temperature record for the last 160,000 years is very informative. What most "environmentalists" do not realize is that the earth is normally cold as hell. It is only throught "unnatural" affects caused by life (a.k.a man etc.) that the earth is not a frozen hell. It is true that it is possible that through industrialization we could throw the world back into an "ice age", but it is equally possible that we could delay the inevitable descent into the next ice age through these processes. I believe the latter is more likely. I work for an environmental company. If man-made things are not natural, exacly what are they? Supernatural? ughhh!! you guys hit my pet peeve today...
  18. Local Opinion on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I too live near the susquehanna river.

    I have thought about this problem a lot over the last two years. My solution is low-cost, durable, and effective I believe, but does not work when the river is frozen. Use a small paddle wheel surrounded by square styrofoam floatation device. have the floataton device and a rod that functions like a broom handle connect to the paddle wheel at the axis point. As the water level changes the wheel will stay at a constant distace from the water as it rises and falls with the styrofoam around it. have the paddle wheel connect to an alternator using a rubber belt. Use the broom handle to maintain the tension between them. Attach the far end of the broom handle to a wire strung between two trees on each bank. Float 20 or 30 of these across the river and you can get some good amps. Gotta go help cook easter dinner, fill in the rest with your imagination... lol

  19. CODE LIBRARY on Code Copying Survey for Developers · · Score: 1

    Yes I keep a code Library, and yes I do re-use it

    Yes I have had several employers since I started the library.

    It is I I is it is it I?

    all of these sentences have appeared in books, since I just typed them am I now guilty of copyright infringement?

    And whose gonna reign in those infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters?

    Maybe we should create a program to generate all possible combinations of the ascii code symbols then copyright anything that could possibly be written either as an e-mail address, webpage, novel, etc. Then patent each one and get royalties from anyone who ever uses ascii...

    How much would it be for us to put up our own satellite communications netork?

  22. Already happened on Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    I saw bright light appear at night 2 or 3 years ago, and I thought -- damn that's gotta be a new supernova. Then a few seconds later it fizzled out, and I said. Damn, that had to be a close man-made explosion. A few days later I read (probably on slashdot or wired or the bbc) that the first test of a space weapon had occurred by the U.S. Anybody else remember that? I have been looking for independent confirmation since then, and see no reference to it in this article.

    It should be easy to check the public records to see how much money this "senior vice president" and those who work underneath him have donated to the legislative sponsors of the bill. That could easily be construied as "paid access" to the legislature, or bribery. We will see who will be going to court first...
