  1. Wow on Man Used MP3 Player To Hack Cash Machines · · Score: 1

    That is so Firewall. Harrison Ford would be proud.

  2. Why? on Tulane University to Reduce Engineering School · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why say in a program that's going to be cut? The reputation (past and future) of your degree reflect on you. It would be advantageous to matriculate into a program that's going to remain strong for the foreseeable future.

  3. Re:Great on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 1

    Can I still flame you for misspelling "replies"? =) Yes.. I deserve it! :)

  4. Re:Great on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm not looking for people to Google for me, I'm looking for witty replys, such as yours, containing words like "phylosophical."

  5. Re:Not so hard on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 2

    1. FTP is great, but there are two problems (as far as our organization is concerned) - it requires a client and credentials are sent unencrypted (FTP over SSL is possible, although it still leaves the client problem). Everyone knows how to go to a webpage, but fewer know how to install and use an FTP client.

    2. The article doesn't look like it details how to set up anything comparable to the Xythos solution. It's pretty much shows how to enable WebDAV with Apache, which is not what I was asking. I was hoping for an OSS project that was more complete. Something that offers web management and a web interface.

  6. Another mirror on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 1

    Here's yet another mirror.

  7. Free tax prep for life on Adieu to Ken Jennings · · Score: 1

    H&R Block has offered KenJen free tax preparation for life.

  10. FreeCache.org on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: 1

    I really hate coming to Slashdot and seeing a story only to find a multimedia file that has been linked to cannot be reached due to the "Slashdotting" effect.

    I think this could easily be alleviated (if not solved) by linking files with the prefix "http://freecache.org" If you're not familiar with FreeCache, check them out.

    Just for fun, here are the three links included in the story, with FreeCache's bandwidth help: 1, 2, 3. It may be too late to speed these up, but let's see!!

    And remember, use http://freecache.org/http://link.to.file/file.xxx!

    It looks as if FreeCache's timeout is shorter than a web browsers, but if this had been used from the beginning, I'll it would have made a difference.

  11. Re:FREE! OH BOy! on Duke University Giving iPods To 1650 Freshmen · · Score: 1

    Significant digits are used to expressing the accuracy and precision of a measurement.

    Actually, they're not used to express accuracy. Accuracy (in strict scientific terms) has nothing to do with precision. Accuracy has to do with being close to a correct solution (darts near a bulls-eye) and precision has to do with being able to reproduce the same results (3 darts in the same region ANYWHERE on the dart board).

    Thus, significant digits can, in fact, be used in a solution with very little accuracy and a very high level of precision.

    You may want to get your facts straight before you write such a condescending comment.

  12. Where's MS on New Alliance Hopes To Standardize Web Plug-Ins · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why are they scared of working towards a standardized future?

  13. SQL Question on Apple Remote Desktop 2 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work for an orginaztion that is trying to implement an asset management system, and I know that Microsoft's SMS software stores its data in a SQL server. Apple says RD2 can "generate reports on data stored in the built-in SQL database." They also link to PostgreSQL. Does anyone know if it is possible to export RD2's data to a MS SQL server?

    Since Slashdot's script, in all it's infinite wisdom, wouldn't let me post due to "junk characters," I've posted my reply here [mac.com]. There are some instructions that might be helpful.
