  1. Re:IDSL is a great alternative on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    SpeakEasy.net does IDSL which I know for a fact since when I tried getting their ADSL service because DirecTV shutdown their DSL services I had to find an alternative DSL provider and speakeasy could only afford me IDSL which is 144Kb with quite a few static IPs for around $90/month (IDSL + ISP net service), but installtion was costly I believe. Reason why speakeasy couldn't service me because they didn't have a contract with Bell South so the phone company wouldn't let them use their nearest CO to me. Ohh well luckly there was a new ISP local startup company here in Nashville, TN so now I'm happy. :)

  2. What the.... on URLs Patented, Domain Registrars Sued · · Score: 3, Interesting

    OK since when can we patent how URLs and email addresses are assigned? That is the most bullshit non-sense I've ever seen to this day! Whoever is approving these patents needs to be taken out back of their home and shot!

  3. Re:How about... on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    I just remembered why, because the guy emailed the abuse department demanding that I be cut off the net simply because he thought I was probing him for an attact against his Zone Alarm protected Windows XP machine. Go figure huh? What really pissed me off was the lack of technical skills the abuse department has, they don't research anything to see if it's true or not. So I'm glad that ISP died out and the employees there got what they deserved. :P

  4. How about... on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Being cut off the net and had to call the ISP to find out you've been accused of port scanning somebody's machine and that you must EMAIL the abuse departement in order to get everything straighten out before your connection is restored. This happened to me and I had to use a friend's machine to email those bastards. Ohh I found out why my machine was port scanning, cause my ircd was setup to scan proxy ports for whoever attempts to connect with an irc network I was partnerd with at the time, so some asshole of a user reported me in cause they didn't like getting scanned I guess. Lucky the ISP I was with at the time has long since died out which was DirectTV DSL...

  5. Damnit!... on Linux 2.4.24 Release Fixes Root Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Redhat just killed Redhat 7.3 support too!

  6. Gaming..? on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about gaming? Many connections from that :)

  7. Re:Antitrust on DOJ Drops Online Music Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 3, Funny

    Didn't you know? Large businesses run this country.

  8. Direct Marketing Association... on U.S. Spam Law to Take Effect Jan. 1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't that the same organization that was formed by many spam companies to fight anti-spam companies by threatening to sue them?
    Well that's just great! Have a spam organization set the rules for the country to follow by. It's official our government is forever currupted!

  9. Interesting... on DNA Assembled Nano-Transistors · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So what's next DNA assembled WiFi device inside of our brain effectively using it as a "mobile" storage medium? Probably not only that, but also for doing true multi-task administration in the real world scope.

    Just think how quickly one could hack wireless access points around them or a beowolf cluster of brain activity via peer-to-peer. That should rack up some SETI@Home work units completed in no time! :)

  10. Hmmm... on Jocks v. Nerds: Detecting Gene-Dopers · · Score: 0

    Gene-Dopers... Is that a new drag addiction? ;)

  11. My opinion... on Red Orchestra, UT2003 Mod, Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    is that Quake 3 engine does a better job of being used in a WWII game such as Return To Castle Wolfenstein and Wolf: E.T.

    Becides I've played America's Army Operations v1.90 and it just sucked horribly. I prefer engines that use OpenGL anyway. :p

  12. Re:I doubt it on The End of Physical Media · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but how can afford it? Sure they'll be able to provide the bandwith at mostly a huge cost. No thanks, I'll stick to renting DVDs at BlockBuster and buying DVDs at Sam's Club. ;)

  13. No wonder... on NZ Spammer Shutdown Makes Big Difference · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... I haven't seen much spam in my inbox lately. But yet spam from my hotmail account is just the same, damn Microsoft for using their hotmail users as a spam whore for money. :P

  14. Interesting.. on Supercomputers To Move To Specialization? · · Score: 1

    So does this mean that supercomputers will be developed without following current hardware standards or is there a new standard being formed for supercomputers? So I guess my Athlon XP won't fit in their CPU socket will it? Damn... So much for cheap AMD CPUs for supercomputers.

    Makes you wonder if Japan has already developed a nice powerful 128bit supercomputer to dish out to crush any competition. :P

  15. The problem is... on Three Snort Books Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It would have taken me to read all three of those books just figure out where to place those damn rule files at. I could have RTFM, but no one has published that snort title yet.

    Becides I rather setup a honeypot and watch the hackers break in. It's like watching ants trying to break out of the glass. You're going no where bub! >:D

  16. Oops! on FSF FTP Site Cracked, Looking for MD5 Sums · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hate it when that happends...

    Who wants to sell off some MD5 checksums off ebay? Let's make a few dallors! :D

  17. POP3 or IMAP? on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Please.... It must be Linux or Windows?! :)

  18. Interesting, I never knew this.. on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The moves indicate a major shift in strategy for Novell, which only a year ago positioned Linux as the enemy and didn't show up at LinuxWorld. Now company executives are saying open-source software is the future for the industry and their company.

    I guess Novell pulled a smart move of "Can't beat 'em, join 'em!" a year ago. Got to love the history points amoung articles making the view point a lot easier to understand. I "think" :)

  19. Nothing like bending fiber.. on Bent Fibers Put Networks At Risk · · Score: 1

    It's so fun that my network crashed and bursts into flames! Somebody put that server out! ;)
