  1. Why didn't they just google for: american $2 bill? on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 0

    It's pretty depressing in a store that sells so much computer gear and internet access devices like DSL/Cable routers none thought to check on the internet for information. The US treasury has the information available on it's website and it's not hard to find at all.

  2. Re:Initial impressions... on Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released · · Score: 0

    - progress bar text is black and the finished part is dark blue, as you might guess thats barely readble

  3. Re:The Lighthouse Joke on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 0
  4. search for microsoft failures and get a .Net page on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 0

    Do a search for microsoft failures and you get the download page for the .Net framework version 1.1 redistributable as the top result.

  5. Re:WRONG on Inside the iPod, Past and Present · · Score: -1

    Nope, look at the various images at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod 1st : 4 buttons under screen and wheel below that, 2nd : 4 curved buttons around the wheel, 3rd : 4 buttons under screen and wheel below that, 4th : 4 spots on wheel that act like buttons.

  6. Re:Repost on Operation Fastlink Nets 1000s in Pirate Sting · · Score: 1

    Think of a recording head magnetizing a spot on the disk. The medium itself will have a strongly magnetized spot with a less stongly magnetized area around it. It's careful measurement of interferance patterns in these what you could call wakes that can be used to recover overwritten data. Overwriting several times with random data makes this very hard if not impossible to do. The wakes are there regardless of how perfect track alignment is.

  7. More prior art, 1984 Byte article on Several Publishers Sued for Infringing 3D Patent · · Score: 1

    Sept 1984 issue of Byte magazine was themed COMPUTER GRAPHICS. One article was titled "REAL-TIME 3-D GRAPHICS FOR MICROCOMPUTERS" by Marcus Newton. A simplified drawing algorithm coded in assembly language permits 3-D animation in real time. Has full source code for use with CPM-86. Does spherical projection and full movement of the viewer and view direction.

  8. Re:My passwords on Letters-Only LM Hash Database · · Score: 2, Informative

    If LMv1 hashes are enabled then a *case insensitive* hash of your password is there to be matched against. Even if the server isn't using them having them there at all is a HUGE hint as to what your password is. Find a match for the case insensitive hash then work through the possible case permutations of it till you get a match for the case sensitive hash. It's several orders of magnitude easier than directly going after the case senstive hash.

  9. SURBL SPF on Spammers Are Early Adopters of SPF Standard · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have found SURBL - Spam URI Realtime Blocklists to be pretty effective the last while. While everything else is forged and loaded with junk text the actual links back to spammer web pages have to be at least partially valid.

  10. Re:Whats next? on Licensing Computer Techs As TV Repairmen · · Score: 1

    In my defence I did google for the spelling I used. Enough on topic hits to make me think it was the proper spelling.
