  1. Re:UPS Insurance on United Parcel Service Sued for Insurance Fraud · · Score: 1

    I shipped (and insured) a computer through then too, once. And sure enough, it was damaged when I received it. They somehow managed to break the front piece of my floppy drive off, among other more serious things.

    Anyway, they wouldn't pay up because of .. yes.. "Improper Packaging" even though it was packed by a Mailbox Etc. store and in its original box.

    buncha bastards......

    I thought the same thing when I saw ass'n, but I just can't wax poetic like the above AC did

  5. So What? on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    Any news anywhere on HOW the guy got in? A site is only a secure as the people in charge of it allow it to be....
    So what it was NT and on a *.microsoft.com domain? It could have been wide open as far as we know.

    And don't think that just because somebody has put up a server at MS, that they know what they're doing.
    A few months back, I used l0pht's .asp view source hack on ntbeta.microsoft.com. They had the admin user/pass HARDCODED onto one of their .ASP pages! I got right in:)
    (no, I didn't do anything. I'm not a z3aLOTT)

    I wouldn't call that 'cracking'. Thats taking advantage ofbad coding/admining.

  6. Re:Is now the right time? on Video Game Wars Aren't Always Games · · Score: 1

    >going on since the beginning

    You can go back even further than that.
    The Atari 2600 as well as the Intellevision had 'computer' keyboards.
    The colecovision even had an entire computer built around it - the ADAM.

    this just goes to show - anything that 'new' nowadays was really new in the 80's, when the real computer revolution happened!!
