  11. Re:Flight time: about 3 minutes: Not a whole lot on Epson's 12 Gram Flying Robot · · Score: 1

    well, there was the story earlier this year/last year about a pigeon getting into the pentagon...

    Perhaps 2 microrobots carried it by the husk.

  12. wow. on Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They used to blame AV companies for making virii to generate business, but a company that makes the vulnerabilities in the first place in its OS... wow. let the conspiracies start flowing.

  13. Quality? on 'Open Funding' For Driver Development · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Isn't the quality of linux software rooted in that there are no timetables to get things working? It seems like quality comes from slow-moving community discussion and eventually a product. On the other hand, I would like to be able to throw money at some projects to get software faster.

  17. incase of theft on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    dont forget to record your serial numbers and MAC addresses and all that stuff. Not getting it stolen is priority, but having a good record of what could be stolen, especially a wifi card with a mac address some wardriver might pick up. I would image there is some kinda database for stolen wifi cards, and I would assume most thieves dont know how to change a MAC address.

  18. government RFC? on FTC Porn Spam Regulation Now in Effect · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the government submit an RFC when they see problems they want to fix? To a programmer, its just bits. Why it is even called "email" is because of an RFC, a standardization in protocol so we could get shit to work together. The government's way of dealing with issues regarding technology is to create some unenforcable law. Unenforceable laws, as it has been stated many times, undermine the WHOLE system and every other law. It is terrible that these knee-jerk whiney legislators or FCC or CONGRESS are doing this to our system. We all know the way to fix technology is to come up with a newer version, or updated RFC. Its time to use the traditional means of fixing a tech problem. Sadly I hear even programmers saying YA!! make a law!! Please think.

  19. Re:Sweet! on How To Play Your iTunes Music On Other Systems · · Score: 1

    "Metawire User Upgrade 01 Apr 2004 by blister

    Metawire has recently gotten a corporate sponsor, Microsoft, who is going to be putting the administration on a paid salary as well as provide hardware, software, and money for bandwidth for us to promote hosting on the superior Microsoft platform. Metawire will be going through a 2 week upgrade to the new server farm, at the end of which we will be transferring all email and webhosting to the new servers. Everyone show your thanks to Microsoft by purchasing some MS software. Microsoft has really helped this community out big time and deserve all your support."
