  1. NSI's Recent Track Record on Network Solutions to Sell WHOIS Ads · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or is NSI really trying to piss off everyone? Maybe they're just having fun since they're going to lose control of domains.

  2. Re:Will it be Intel compatible? on IBM Unveils New Power4 CPU · · Score: 1

    I doubt they're going to be quick to provide Linux support for it; even though they've invested in Linux, they're probably more interested in getting on the desktop or low-end servers. They aren't going to want to throw away years of work on their version of Unix - they still want their ultra-powerful servers to be AIX.

  3. Re:Iridium on FBI Stops Satellite Phones · · Score: 1

    Well, they may be in debt, but this news hasn't hurt their stock (yet).


  4. Guerilla.net on Government Wants to do Massive Internet Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will rekindle interest in Guerilla.net, the L0pht wireless network.

    Of course, I may just get in the habit of encrypting all e-mail and only using ssh for remote connections.

    --sig time!--

  5. Re:Anti-parenting? on Feature: Ticket Booth Tyranny (Part Two) · · Score: 1

    It's not illegal to take a kid to a movie - it's just against the theater's policy.

  6. Re:No one is at fault - missed the point on Ask Slashdot: Cyber Patrol Censorship? · · Score: 1

    I'd rather my kid have access to everything than to not have access to something useful. There are a lot of very good websites that are blocked by CyberPatrol.

  7. Re:TiK is the casualty of this, and more articles on Microsoft and AOL Fight Over Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    TiK has been gone for a while - this has happened before, but I don't think for this long. I'm glad I downloaded the latest version before it disappeared.

  8. Re:The real issue is evidence on AOL Happily Releases Information to Cops · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that the only reason most hackers are convicted is because they confess. Unless they are caught in the act (Mitnick) they can show that the "real" hacker could have changed the logs to frame someone else. Or someone could easily beige-box from your house, use your ISP account, and you'd get "caught".
