  1. First of all, it's a losing battle on Ask Slashdot: How To Best Setup a School Internet Filter? · · Score: 1

    I worked for a company that sold web filtering devices primarily to schools. The school admins spent more time hunting down proxy sites, web proxy sites, figuring out how to block kids running SSH tunnels off their home PCs and tunneling with putty on a USB stick. The web filter did awesome, until you got one smart alec in the mix and taught everyone else how to bypass it. THEN you start in on locking down the PCs with GPOs, adding layer 3 filtering for external proxy sites, prohibiting any unknown executables from ever running (yeah, makes those self-extracting printer drivers fun).

    Glad I'm out of that business.

  2. Re:Handiness is a preference nothing more. on The Science of Handedness · · Score: 1

    Shaving left handed... No thanks. I use a straight razor.

  3. Hockey? Really? on The Science of Handedness · · Score: 1

    Whoever decided that it would benefit hockey to have everyone the same handedness is a flipping buffoon. There's a huge advantage to having people that shoot left/right on different parts of the ice depending on the play.

    That being said, hockey is one sport where there are tons of people that usually write right-handed, bat right-handed, golf right-handed, but shoot a puck left handed.

  4. Re:News for nerds? on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 0

    Awww, I hit a nerve with a libtard.

  5. Re:News for nerds? on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 0

    CORRECTION ^ don't read...

  6. News for nerds? on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Looks like the libtard babble from Digg. There's a reason I read that shit over on that site. Leave it off Slashdot.

  7. Re:can I put my kitchen grease in my old oil drum? on Biofuel Thieves Steal Restaurant Grease · · Score: 1

    You also need to mix a couple of common household components into it to stabilize it (Lye, alcohol, and water?). One of those end-times apocalypse shows showed how it was done.

  8. Re:Taught? on Why Fingernails On a Chalkboard Sound Painful · · Score: 2

    Microfiber cotton "terrycloth" wipes do that to me - the kind that kind of snag your fingertips no matter how smooth or clean your fingers seem to be.

  9. Re:Why not the easy way? on Big Brother Calls 'Shotgun' In Illinois · · Score: 1

    Coincidentally, the State of IL just got done announcing they were effectively doubling the cash AND IPASS prices for their tollways. Guess they have to pay for Quinn's political favors to the transponder vendor somehow.

  10. Re:No Texting While Driving! on Cellphones Get Government Chips For Disaster Alert · · Score: 2

    I'm going to be pissed when I'm doing something important for work on my phone, when it's suddenly hijacked for 45 seconds while a shrill tone plays, then tells me it was only a test.

  11. Re:Not much to do on Ask Slashdot: Is There a War Against Small Mail Servers? · · Score: 2

    Wow, they do their own network reporting? Perhaps SMTP?

  12. Re:Yes, Thank Turing We're Not the Media Hype Mach on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    You forgot to insert the part about "UNMARRIED men... get laid." The rest of us poor schmucks thought we were getting a good deal when we bought the cow.

  13. Re:do it mozilla. on Mozilla Flips Kill-Switch On Skype Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Notice the VMWare tool icon in the systray -- No way someone would do that w/o being able to do a snapshot rollback ;)

  14. Re:I would be very concerned on Electronics In Flight — Danger Or Distraction? · · Score: 1

    Ever had your cell phone sitting next to your PC, and you know 20 seconds before it rings that it's about to do so because your speakers start going nuts? Now, imagine you're landing in IFR conditions and a phone rings... Bad ju ju COULD happen...

  15. Re:Unsurprising use of the phrase "Die Fighting" on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the opinion... You may now go back to viewing American Idol and Jersey Shore.

  16. Re:'dead zone' Friday nights on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    It does, as long as you have asshat companies like "The Nielsen Company" that relies an antiquated methods of tracking viewership. Internet streaming, DVR/VCR viewers are completely omitted from the stats.

  17. And look what they put in its Thursday slot. on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    "The Cape"? What a piece of shit show...

  18. Re:Physically demanding on iRacing World Champion Gets a Shot At the Real Thing · · Score: 1

    Yep-- I laugh when people sit back and say racing isn't a sport, doesn't take any physical strength, etc... I have a brother-in-law that races in the "below ARCA" asphalt circuits. It's basically amateur racing with a decent car... He spends 3 days in the gym a week just for keeping his upper body in shape for handling the g-forces.

  19. Re:I think Shakespear had it right on Anti-Piracy Lawyers 'Knew Letters Hit Innocents' · · Score: 0

    Correction: "The death penalty doesn't work ". If we actually convicted people, took them out behind the courthouse, and hung them right away, it would work much better than 50 years of appeals...

  20. Re:Flashback to TRS-80 Color Computer days on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    Bah, wasn't logged in...

  21. Re:Flashback to TRS-80 Color Computer days on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes.. Telewriter-64! Remember that one?

  22. Re:I don't blame them on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Umm, genius, there are these things in laptops called fans... If you force air out of one orifice, physics dictate that you must have an intake, or else you have a perfect vacuum that would eventually crush the entire laptop.

    So, given we can't violate physics, small particles of ash will eventually get sucked in where they get stuck.

  23. Re:What is the advantage... on Japan Plans $21B Space Power Plant · · Score: 1

    That's what I was pondering... 99%+ of the heat energy on the Earth is from the sun... Now beam in more. Suuuuuuuper idea.

  24. Re:Worried about the results of your actions? on Why Should I Trust My Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Exactly... No trust = suck it up and pay for the damn employee to watch the servers. ...and if you're not willing to pay well, be prepared for that person to leave in two years after they've seen no growth potential in your little mom & pop get up.

  25. Re:Royal Navy anti slavery actions on Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that the Roman's practiced slavery all across Europe before any Africans ever were sold into bondage.

    Let's kick it up a notch... Since I'm of German and English heritage, I demand reparations from Italy for what their conquerors did 2000+ years ago.
