  2. Re:simpy on Yahoo! Buys del.icio.us · · Score: 1

    Please tell me the Slashdot crowd is not going over to Simpy just because delicious was bought out by Yahoo. Look at Flickr, they've stayed pretty hands-off and haven't yet converted it into some ad-infested site. Furthermore, I suspect the infusion of cash into delicious will be a boon for the developers and hopefully they'll keep improving it. If you haven't noticed, it's come a heck of a long way in just the last 6 months.

    That's exactly what I thought, and I'm not even medicated. Come to think of it, why don't we propose this form of transport too?

    My favorite quote from The Official Zombie Hunters website: "If you should encounter the undead menace, then don't hesitate to call Zombie Squad. Find out for yourself why Zombie Squad is the world's premier non-stationary cadaver suppression task force."

    Comcast appears to be blocking or throttling default Bittorrent ports. I just switched ports in Azureus and the torrents started coming through again.

  15. Re:I read your chat on Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients · · Score: 1

    How do you snoop on them with Ethereal? How can you construct the packets into a readable sequence?

  16. Encrypted IM clients safe for work? on Yahoo Shutting Out Third-Party IM Clients? · · Score: 1

    What about using clients that encrypt IM traffic (ICQ, AIM, Jabber?), are they safe for work? If your company runs one of those corporate IM monitoring packages can they still read your IMs? Is the chat encrypted from client to client? I have a friend who's worried about her company eavesdropping on her Yahoo IM chats, I don't have that problem no matter what client I use because it runs on my home PC and I just rdesktop to it from my work PC. I was going to suggest she switch to ICQ or AIM for the encryption capabilites, but false sense of security is worse then none.
