    1. Actually know who is checking out my profile. Sometimes people are shy and it would be good to maybe make the first step in communication.
    2. I don't know, how about not getting SERVER TOO BUSY half the time in the afternoon?
    3. Less anoying profile ``themes'' Ok, I know this is the users fault....

    Of course you can reconstruct any information that flows across a network thay you have access to. That is unless it's encrypted and you don't know the key.

  5. Exceed Indeed on How Vista Disappoints · · Score: 1
    `` It some ways, Windows Vista actually will exceed Mac OS X and Linux, but not to the depth we were promised''

    I couldn't agree more. Windows Vista will exceed OS X and Linux the following areas: 1. p0wnage 2. ??? 3. profit!

  6. Stupid on Professor 'Packetslinger' Assigns Questionable Task · · Score: 1
    This smells of script kiddie 101, not a ``computers security class''.

    Why not put up a couple of servers of different types on an isolated network at the school and then let the students bang on that. At least they would be able to go through the logs of the servers in question legally. Also, they could packet capture the entire event and review in class.

  7. Blame Verizon on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 1

    The security and system admin folk at Verizon goofed. They shoudln't have allowed the use of ``null'' in the first place.

  8. Time Slows on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1
    This reminds me that Stephen Hawking quipped that were time travel possible ``... One would also expect to have seen large numbers of tourists from the future, curious to look at our quaint, old-fashioned ways. ''

    However, time travel *is* possible in a theoretical sort of way. Time slows down as you approach the speed of light. This has been proven many times. If you took a ride on a rocket that traveled 3/4 the speed of light and whent in one direction for 6 months, then turned around and came back, you would have only aged a year but time on earth would have gone by MUCH faster. You have in a sense, traveled to the future. Good luck getting home though.....

  9. Probably Not on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 1

    If IBM was really worried about keeping Apple, they would have certainly let them know this was coming down the pipe. Besides, Apple can always switch back if they really wanted to.....

    I'm not so sure the market droids gave it much though when they came up with this critter's name. Ah, can't wait to see the zine articles: ``Intel's PEE will flush the competition''

    What's next? Will AMD come out with Fast Asynchronous Redundant Technology?

    Well, Stevie boy, then windows users are spammers.

    From the article:

    It's hard to describe those comics to non-french speakers, because the french-speaking comic culture is vastly more diverse, mainstream and serious than in other languages (either manga or US comics), and this precise type of comic has no equivalent.

    I don't think so. Nope, not one bit.

    ``it is still an important part of their doctrine'' That's like saying slavery is an important part of U.S. law. It's not. :-)

  23. Actually on SCO Announces Product Line Updates · · Score: 3, Informative

    You would be well advised to know that polygamy was abandoned by the Mormons when Utah was admitted to the U.S. as a state in 1895.

    I don't have a problem with your views on the two senators from that state but the items listed about the Mormons are incorrect. I am sure there are a few small minorites who still wed multiple spouses, however it hasn't been church doctrine since 1895. That comparison you made would be like saying "(All) Catholic priests molest young boys.", which simply isn't true.

    As for your comment on ``...a constitutional ammendment that is so religiously based...'' there are plenty of laws that are imposed by a religious majority on the public. The ``blue'' laws in the south for instance.
