  1. BBSmates.com on Commodore BBSes Return using the Internet. · · Score: 5, Informative
    Guess it's time for mysemi-annual plug of BBSmates.com. You old-schoolers can look up your old hang-outs, hook up with your old BBS buddies, and see for yourselves that everybody but you aged poorly. :-D

    (And there're a lot of old BBSes available through telnet, though I dunno about C64-based ones.)

  2. Re:Privacy Issues? on HP Experiments with 'Always On' Camera · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Right now all I have to do is surreptitiously slip a gym bag with a camera in it underneath your skirt. How this thing is a bigger privacy concern escapes me. It's pretty hard to slip my head under there without you noticing.

  3. Default settings on Should You Fire Your Firewall? · · Score: 1
    I take it these folks used only default settings rather than setting things up for maximum security. My DI-604 stealths port 113 just fine because I've set it up that way.

    So, basically, I can't tell anything from this "review." If it doesn't accurately portray one products capabilities, it may not accurately portray the capabilities of any of them.

  4. Holy Volkswagen! on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1, Funny
    Way to go from connotations of the zippy fast Pontiac Firebird to the poky VW Fox in one easy step. Beautiful choice.

    Next step: Firepinto. Or maybe Firegremlin.

  5. Buy this on Preempting Hailstone Formation To Protect Cars · · Score: 1
    For Sale: ZapCap

    Over 100,000 sold at $25 each! Guaranteed to prevent lightning from striking your head!
    If product does not work as advertised, return for a full refund.

    (Disclaimer: In cases of product failure, we are liable for no more than... oh... does $1000 sound good? Sure. One grand it is. We've sold lots already.)

  6. Challenge, schmallenge on Profile of the Mind of a Virus Writer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Michelangelo was a master. A spray-can toting kid is just a vandal. These aren't "masters" either, no matter how much they label themselves as such. Want to show off your elite skills, kids? Want to show how much better than Microsoft you are? Write a self-replicating program that patches holes instead of exploiting them.
    Nope. They're vandals posing as artists.
