  1. someone should post some leaked code on Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders · · Score: 1

    I dare ya!

  2. Re:IP addresses next on Ebay Suspends Phone Number Sales · · Score: 1

    10.x.x.x is reserved for internal use. Anyone can set up a 10.x.x.x subnet.

  3. Re:lets just wait until on Cingular Wins bid for AT&T Wireless · · Score: 5, Insightful

    as with most everything else, it won't work nearly as well as you or I can imagine :-/

  4. Re:Windows NT / 2000? on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They were only sitting on it for the time they *knew* about it! Doesn't matter when NT came out if they only discovered it 6 months ago........

  5. Re:Why don't they... on The Real Reason why Spirit Only Sees Red · · Score: 1

    I think the ones in CompUSA are a tad sensitive to the extreme temps on Mars.....

  6. Re:Why are so many Indians in American CS programs on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I took several certification tests on BrainBench.com. I noticed that many, many of the top 100 scorers on each test had Indian sounding names. Do BrainBench and similar certs mean anything in India?

  7. Re:USA software worker makes 60,000 USA dollars on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    An amount proportional to their cost of living. Certainly less than 60k, but 60k means something different in their country.

  8. there's still no reason to BUY a phone on Plain Cell Phones Fading Away? · · Score: 1

    There's always a rebate or something available for a phone almost all the time. I have never paid for a cell phone, and I'm on my 4th one. And the phones that come out to be free after rebate are usually the plain jane type I like.

  9. Re:For some reason on Spirit and Opportunity Now Operational · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

  10. Re:OCR on Thyne Oldest Known Tech Manual · · Score: 1

    HAHAHA! If i had mod points right now, you'd get one.

  11. Re:Gaming? on Mars Express 3D Image Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Move over, Scorched Earth, time for Scorched Mars!

  12. Projector on 61-inch Wide Plasma Monitor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It seems to me that at this size of over 5 feet, maybe a nice projector would be better.

  13. Re:Plus? Plus Silver Edition? Plus/SE? Titanium? on TI Launches Three New Graphing Calculators · · Score: 2

    At least it wasn't TI-89 XP

  14. wardriving on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 1

    This will make war driving less fun...

  15. Re:Who needs a dvd burner yet? on Dell Throws In For The +R/+RW Standard · · Score: 1

    most people don't NEED a home computer at all, much less a DVD burner...

  16. Re:Overuse of "quotation marks" on Distributed Computing "Advances" · · Score: 1
    Using all those quotes reminds me of Chris Farley's character Bennett Brauer (spelling?) on SNL.

  17. telemarketers on World's Largest Databases Ranked · · Score: 1

    Based on all the hype about the national Do Not Call registry, I would have expected to see that up there somewhere. Then again, it probably consists of like one table and 3 fields. It certainly would qualify as a very popular database.

  18. Re:Bone loss on A Mars Mission's Greatest Challenge: Radiation · · Score: 2, Informative
    I was curious how long it would take to get to mars and back. Here's the answer:

    "A mission to Mars would take about three years from launch to reentry, including 6-12 months of travel each way and a lengthy stay on Mars while the planets reach optimum position for beginning a return flight. (NASA)"

  19. Artificially Intelligent Messenger on IM Usage & Awareness Services · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For my senior project in school I modified an IM client written in VB6 to have AI capabilities. It can act as a desktop secretary who gets to know new people that IM you when you're away. It takes notes, keeps contact info on file, and can define words. Check it out here.

  20. Too bad their website says on Gateway Forges Partnership With SuSE · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Gateway recommends Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP" right at the top of the screen.

  21. Re:Huh? on Gateway Forges Partnership With SuSE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah they are trying to expand their business and get away from just selling desktops. You can get gateway printers, digital cameras, etc. I wonder how many of these products are really made by someone else with the name "Gateway" stamped on them.

  22. Reminds me of Office Space... on E-Voting Glitch: 19,000 Voters, 144,000 Votes · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I probably just put a decimal point in the wrong spot. I always forget some mundane detail..." lol

  23. Re:use a real router on Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad · · Score: 0

    When I said "real" router, I meant something more along the lines of a "real man's router" -- something that takes a little more knowledge of than a boxed one you plug in and that's it.

  24. use a real router on Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad · · Score: 4, Informative

    Take an old Pentium I and put Smoothwall on it. No more Belkin and Netgear routers you get for $50 at Circuty City.

  25. The /. FAQ on Karma says... on The Case for the Moon · · Score: 1

    ...that Karma "does not cure cancer or grant you a seat on the secret spaceship that will be traveling to Mars when the Krulls return to destroy the planet in 2012." But will Karma get me on the next spaceship to the moon???
