  2. floride on Parents Sue School Over Use of Wi-Fi Network · · Score: 1

    Wait till these tinfoil hat wearing parents hear about floridation.

  3. Any HP hardware? on HP Offers Linux Purchasers Indemnification · · Score: 1

    I wonder if my old vectra 486, (I use it as a personal webserver), as well as my newer PA-RISC boxes would both be covered. Both are manufactured by HP, but I bought them used.

  4. Naaa on Universal Music To Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't buy music from a major record label if I was paid to do so.

  5. Higher admission standards on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 1

    Only admit students intelligent enough run a virus scanner if they are on a Micro$oft platform.

  6. Re:root:6X7liA1zmJhyA:12255:0:10000:::: on SCO Roundup · · Score: 1

    Yes that is the output from a pentium box, but who says I'm not trying other wordlists on other machines?

  7. root:6X7liA1zmJhyA:12255:0:10000:::: on SCO Roundup · · Score: 4, Funny

  8. Re:Security on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    OK, outsourcing to another buisness is great, but you still won't see the the whitehouse.gov firewall located in china.

  9. Security on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But most buisnesses and certainly no government would outsource penitration testing and other security jobs. I bet there is tech job security in well...the field of security.

  10. Re:This idea is genius. on MIT Everyware · · Score: 1

    Formal education at any level is basically already just a formality. So much information is available online and in print that teaching yourself is often more effective than going to school. If you need access to a community, modern communication can easily link you to hundreds of people that have the same interests and just about any skill level all over the world. School acts as an institution that gives you a paper that says you were complacent enough to follow someone else's structure. Business will still consider that a value, but getting a degree is basically irrelevant to real learning. Degrees are a measure of status, not intelligence or skills. Universities like MIT will continue to provide valuable research available in few other places, but advanced education will happen everywhere.

  11. NASA is by nature risky on Failure Is Always an Option · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They are always on the cutting edge. Putting safety behind technological progress is necessary do achieve great things. Yes human life is not something to take lightly, but NASA has done a better job of protecting people than a few larger (cough military cough) government institutions. Historically NASA has taken great risk to accomplish new milestones in less time than most would think possible. That trend obviously continues today.

  12. Re:TRIPS?!? on Four Core Processor to Bring Tera Ops · · Score: 1

    Awww man, I bit into a polorized capacitor once. OUCH!

  13. Re:Oooh, can't wait for the G6! on Four Core Processor to Bring Tera Ops · · Score: 1

    If we wrote portable code, we could just recompile (to an extent).

  14. apt-get install flawfinder on How to Develop Securely · · Score: 1

    http://packages.debian.org/testing/utils/flawfinde r.html

  15. The real conspiracy on SCO Says It Has No Plan To Sue Linux Companies · · Score: 1

    SCO is trying to get a hold of intellectual property that covers non binary logic. They are trying to go beyond the reasoning behind 1 and 0 as true and false. When new trinary computers come out, SCO will own everything produced on them.

  16. Re:What DDoS on SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders · · Score: 1

    What if the attack isn't a regular flood type attack that makes an internet connection slow. What if it is for example, an algorythmic complexity attack that crashes or slows down the actual networking equiptment of the host? (be it thier routers, switches, actual servers, etc)

  17. naa on Linux vs. Windows: Choice vs. Usability · · Score: 1

    I'd rather stay somewhat elitist to keep my choices instead of catering to the lowest common denominator.

  18. Re:What about the classified ones? on Fastest US Supercomputer Runs Linux · · Score: 1

    Its pritty much commmon knowledge that at least some NSA boxes are running Unicos.

  19. Its not gonna happen but...... on Further Selections From the Mixed-Up SCO Files · · Score: 1

    If (just hypothetically) SCO did win the court case and everyone's supposed to pay for their Linux distros, the source is closed, and the GPL is declared invalid, I don't see users going down without a fight. Even though Linux is now a reputable commercial product, most users are hackers, coders, geeks, cyperbunks, nerds, you get the picture. We aren't your average authority obeying idiot consumers. I mean, how would you like to be the cop who has to go to good old gun totin' libertarian Eric Raymond's house to confiscate his Linux box? You'll have to pry it from his cold dead hands! And what about RMS? For all the feds know, he could be the next Abbie Hoffman. America doesn't want to further radicalize the geeks.

  20. slashdot effect on SIGCOMM Networking Conference Live Over the Internet · · Score: 1

    Hopefully we won't slashdot this confrance stream, like we did to rubicon. I bet CMU has the bandwith to handle it, but you never know.

  21. What really matters on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    A clutch of other benchmarks have been released by Apple, including a Quake 3 benchmark at 1024x768 giving the G5 a score of 337 frames per second compared to the Pentium's 275.

  22. Re:I tried it under VMware...... on Other Web Browsers for Bell Labs' Plan 9? · · Score: 1

    Well, mozilla under unix runs on X normally, and although there is an X port for Plan9, most people use a propritary GUI.
