  1. Re:What about emergencies? on Face Recognition Comes to Cameraphones · · Score: 1

    I know you're kidding, but virtually all phones allow emergency calls with sim chips removed or without passwords, or even to communists. I'm certain that just is not a concern. This is a weak password though, obviously. Why not fingerprints? You already have to jam your fingers into the phone repeatedly. Why not just put in the fingerprinting thingie?

  2. as geeky as this is on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I alwyas assumed that leia remembered her mother due to her ability to see into the past using the force inwittingly, like kiddo annakin seeing the future for pod racing reflexes. Anyway, my point is that there are no plot holes in sci fi. And so, here I am. Posting about star wars on slashdot. I am not cool. I have to acknoeledge that fact and move on with my 'life.'

  3. Re:Is this the Bill obesssion? on Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed · · Score: 1

    er uh... yeah it is genius. Business genius. He's only the richest man in the world, or at least nearly so. Pretty obviously a genius at business, a far more difficult mastery than a black and white world of programming, with which he also has great skill.

    And Dvorak keyboards suck

  5. Re:1983? on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Soooooo Slashdot was right apparently, about everything about this article that matters and made it interesting and wrong about a pointless detail that led to none of the interest in this article. Well, I'm pretty much okay with that.

  6. Re:Apple Desktop Remote? on California Sets Fines for Spyware · · Score: 1

    Those programs are not malicious, and there is an even clearer provision made for adminisrative uses. Every program takes over a processor for something in the most strict sense. Even a cookie takes some cycles away from the processor to be loaded or to search for information or send it. OBviously windows and solitaire take over your computer, and obviously pcanywhere type programs allow another computer to control yours, but unless the takover is malicious, without administrative purpose by a business (or ISP for some reason) it isn't a take-over under this law.

  7. Re:Once again, Microsoft blames the users. on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1

    Can you just not plug in the ethernet cable until the firewall is up? The cable connecting the router to the modem.

  8. It said phones "of some kind" on Louisiana Towns Going High-Tech · · Score: 3, Informative

    probably meaning land or cell.

  9. I don't know if mankind is alone, but on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    but the men in here are. HAHAHA anyway, maybe that's the problem, maybe all the guys on slashdot just haven't bothered to improve their detection techniques and have had a girlfriend for years!

  13. Re:Easy on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that the computer connects to the network before the windows firewall activates? Tell me you aren't serious! IF you are, I've been more vulnerable than I thought. That's just plain negligent.

  14. bandwidth restrictions will be a big issue on Starz, RealNetworks Offer Movie Download Service · · Score: 1

    if this becomes a major thing internet users use, then those ISP's are going to be unable to handle that kind of data flow... most broadband users just load the drudge report in 1 second instead of 10 seconds, they dont stream more than 10 megs a day, but with this type of thing, a lot of users will be downloading hudnreds of more megs a day than expected... probably hitting those secret bandwidth quotas... this will be ugly for everyone

  15. Re:Question... on Comcast Gets Tough on Spam · · Score: 3, Informative

    In case that anser was not sufficient, alt control delete brings up the task manager in windows, from which you can monitor your internet activity... further you can look at your modem's activity lights.

  17. are these really cheaper to produce? on AMD Announces New Low-End Processor Line · · Score: 3, Insightful

    or are they just filling in a perceived niche? id buy these for sure if they are really cheaper than older durons are (really cheap)...

  18. Cant wait till ads rely on my processor even more! on OpenGL in PHP · · Score: 3, Funny

    think about it, im surfing the web, and some stupid ad comes up and demands my processor and video card take time away from whatever I purchased them to do... arrgh... unless I want to disable all the latest plugins or something, and that's a hassle to my lazy moonpie pudged ass

  19. Re:Backstory on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 1

    "It's really a sad state of affairs for children today, in Ontario" I always thought canada had great schools, that's is too bad... anyway, money is not everything by any means, its all about high standards and time. private schools dont spend as much as publics in the US, they just kick out all the jerks... But towards the topic, why not send openoffice to public schools that are notoriously poor? Just send it in to Mississippi High, and they may realize they have no choice but to use it...

    yeah its a waste of money, but we are wasting money everywhere else, at least here there is the remote chance we might learn something...

  23. Re:It's an open standard, silly. on Former Anti-Piracy 'Bag Man' Turns On DirecTV · · Score: 1

    "If I submit proof that you purchased a pencil and some paper" nope, unless its a fairly rare paper that is the precise sort that was used for the robbery and pretty much nothing else i mean, is the hacked card used for something else? instead of asking me if you should be arrested for any paper, perhaps you should ask if one should be arrested for having a note with a robber threat on it... thats a lot more implicating just as having a hacked card, a dish, and not paying for service is obviously implicating what use for this blank card is there that people with dishes and not paying for service might have? you are right though, blank cards are only circumstancial evidence, but its compelling in the way a rare stock of paper might be. regular joes dont use this card for anything else. I think the presence of a card doesnt warrant conviction, but it warrants investigation. if they have a dish and havent been paying for a lot of service, the circumstancial case is pretty damning, so maybe we need to find out where the blank card came from... dont people buy these cards already hacked? if the purchase can be learned and someone actually did the theft, well hell, since they want to make a big fuss about justice and cost society so much legal time and money, I hope they go to jail for a little while... so tell me, lost cluster, what are the uses for this blank card that you think the average joe might have?

  24. Re:It's an open standard, silly. on Former Anti-Piracy 'Bag Man' Turns On DirecTV · · Score: 1

    So what that its an open standard, thats perfectly irelevant. paper and pencil is an open standard too, but if I make a note to the bank teller for money its still using the paper to steal you cant use an open standard to do anything you want!!! i cant imagine what use a hacked card might have beyond theft... ust as i cant imagine what a demand note might have beyond theft,,, both are pretty strong evidence...
