  1. nothing new on A One-Handed Keyboard For $25 · · Score: 1

    Since the website is /.'ed I must ask the obvious question: What makes a keyboard one handed? I can slide my keyboard over to the side and type with one hand just fine. (Yes, I just opened myself up to many jokes)

  2. Re:No on Big Brother In Your Front Seat · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have a 1968 Firebird with only lap belts and I have been stopped as well because they just look for no shoulder strap. It's fun to tug at the lap belt and say 'it's right here.' Then they get mad and start looking for any other "violations" they can find...

    btw does anyone know if these boxes could tell me my 1/4 mile times? It's too expensive to go to a track.

  3. Re:Messenger service is fun on FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads · · Score: 1

    I was one of the team leaders on the Windows NT project

    I'm sorry.

  4. Re:Brings new meaning.... on Cornell Builds Autonomous UAV · · Score: 0

    Or... drag and drop out of the sky?

  5. Wait... on First Trojan for Windows CE Released · · Score: 1

    This cannot spread on its own; it must be mailed or transmitted, then opened. Once opened, it opens a TCP port, allowing the remote-controller to connect and establish control over it.

    This doesn't sound new, hasn't VNC been out for while?

  6. Re:what does... on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 5, Informative

    DEFCON stand for anyways?

    In the Government it stands for: DEFense CONdition or DEFense readiness CONditions

  7. Re:So can I sue on Lawyers In Space... · · Score: 1

    How about sue him for getting burnt? Why not, McD's had to pay up for hot coffee.

  8. Sun on Lawyers In Space... · · Score: 1

    I say let the lawyer have the sun. I'll help him pack, maybe he can bring some of his lawyer friends?

  9. stupid is as stupid does on The Saga of Katie.com · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First off, Katie the book writer should have checked it out and secured the website before being published.
    Second, Katie the website owner should cash in and sell ad space, I'm sure she'll be getting a lot of hits now that the story is on /.

  10. Re:Specifications? on Australian Voting Software Goes Closed Source · · Score: 1

    demand voter-verified paper ballots

    That'll work great, as long as you can get every city in every state to agree to a unified Florida-proof system.
    That being said, why not have electronic voting booths that print out a small paper reciept at the time the vote is cast for a backup?

  11. Re:I wonder why... on Don't Nurse Old Hardware - Emulate It · · Score: 1

    Actually yes. My point being, it's not suprising that a hardware manufacturer wants us to throw away older, most perfectly usable, equipment in favor of buying new stuff from them. It would be the same as Microsoft recommending that people upgrade their OS every 3 years... oh wait, they already do.

  12. I wonder why... on Don't Nurse Old Hardware - Emulate It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    by Bob Supnik, Sun Microsystems

    Gee, I wonder why he would be recommending buying new servers?

  13. A letter to Munich on City of Munich Freezes Its Linux Migration · · Score: 0

    Dear City of Munich,
    Did you know Linux may be infringing on 50 patents from other operating systems? I was concerned for your well being and thought you should know.
    Sincerly, Bill

  14. Re:No really. on DEFCON WiFi Shootout Winners Set A Land Record · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Some brands of APs have better range than others. I get pretty good range from Linksys. Also, APs generally get batter range than wireless routers. But sometimes it's nice having a smaller range, that way the guy down the street can't hack your connection or hijack your cable internet.
