  1. Good luck querying on encrypted data on Ask Slashdot: Why Do Firms Leak Personal Details In Plain Text? · · Score: 1

    When you want to do a search for a customer by email, you can't do that if its encrypted. We keep passwords in databases hashed, not encrypted, its not the same thing. If you want to be able to do customer support, it needs to be in a database unencrypted.

  2. Githubs, anyone? on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 2

    Nobody should be allowed to register an opinion in this topic without linking to their githubs.

  3. Clerks link is inaccurate on Musician Jailed Over Prank YouTube Video · · Score: 2

    The 'professional comedians' link is for the clerks scene where Randall is trying to order porn from his supplier, but in the commentary it explains the reason they cut to just Randall is he wasn't comfortable saying all those things in front of a kid.

  4. Anonymous Coward? on Mystery Company Recruiting Talent With a Puzzle · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll bet you dollars to donuts that that company creating all of this is the same one to submit the story.

  5. Re:I attended on Richard Stallman Talks On Copyright Vs. the People · · Score: 1

    I managed to attend too, definitely an awesome talk.

    The highlight Of the talk for me? When he brought up the 'call it GNU/Linux', and then got offended when everyone laughed.

    Hearing him make that speech in person was the #1 reason I was there.

  6. Re:anime industry on Richard Stallman Talks On Copyright Vs. the People · · Score: 1

    Ha, I was sitting right behind that guy. I kept thinking 'good god, we need to start getting Comp Sci kids Life Coaches'.

  7. Re:I bet ... on Safemedia's CEO Tells Congress He Can Stop P2P · · Score: 1

    Lets hope it can also read IPv6 traffic and knows to look for the Evil Byte and does a proper check of the the 32 bit Evil Byte checksum.

  8. I'm very interested in word origins on Ancient Swords Made of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 5, Funny

    This, for instance, tells the story of old Damascan warriors that would run around slaying their enemies, and at each kill would shout a prayer of "W00Tz" to their ancient sword gods to thank them for their glorious victory.

  9. this is batshit insane on Cache Servers Keeping Exploit Code Alive · · Score: 0

    Thhis is idiocy.

    Content is kept on cache servers, not the actual application to be exploited.
    The cache server isn't executing the code with register_globals on it, its simply saving the results>

  10. Re:Is that the kind of person apple wants? on Apple Fires Five Employees for Downloading Leopard · · Score: 5, Funny

    Eh? I never had to use a cd key for any of my Tiger installs. Methinks you are talking about Server, not client.

    The torrent was probably mislabeled.

  11. 23 comments so far on Phantom Goes Software Only · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And 6 mention 'duke nukem forever'.

    Has anyone pointed out yet that the phantom is an appropriate name for the console?

  12. Re:As Captain Kirk Once Said... on The Death of E3 in Quotes · · Score: 1

    Wow, I didn't know Matt Damon was so well spoken.

  13. Re:My dad's solution on How Do You Handle Ethernet Port Management? · · Score: 1

    You're obviously pretty young, so I think some advice is in order.

    If your dad won't forward you any ports for torrent traffic, walk up to your him and say this:

    "Hey dad, can I get some ports forwarded to me for bit-torrent please? It looks like a pretty good program, but of course you already know that, I took a peak at the network traffic and found that you were pretty fond of it."

    pause

    Maybe I should ask mom and see what she thinks?

  14. My first reaction on Final Fantasy XIII Announced At E3 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does anyone else feel a little ripped off every time they buy a new sequel to a game called "final fantasy"?

  15. Re:I hope Lucent wins and the 360 is scrapped. on Lucent Sues Microsoft, Wants All 360s Recalled · · Score: 1

    If you're going to say shit like that to the guy, I would have hoped you had the guts to do it under a real name.

    He didn't present his case all too well, but at the core he's absolutely right.

    If Microsoft suffers at the hands of the patent system long enough, they might damn well have the motivation to stand up and fight against it.

  16. Aw nuts on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    Now i have to think up some witty comment just so i can test this thing out... *cough*

  17. Re:German Tax Loophole on Why Does Uwe Boll Keep Making Films? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Link to last bloodrayne thread because every time I saw the title it made me smile

    Dude, RTFA.

  21. Re:Still confused on the sell-out history on 360 Sells 400k Units, New Stock This Weekend · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think these guys have them beat.

  22. Bitlbee changed my life on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bitlbee is an irc gateway to all the messenger clients. This means that I can communicate with my MSN contacts over (what appears to me to be) irc.

    This means I can run screen+irssi+bitlbee on my home server, and will never disconnect from any of my msn,aim,irc,etc and will be able to rejoin my clients from wherever in the world I am (very important for a laptop user like myself).

    It organized all of my streams of communication into one single, easy, clean interface (irssi, really, but still) and allows me to manage my time much more efficiently then before. (not to mention the benefits of never logging off, so people can send you messages and you can pick them up without having to be "on line" at that moment.

    I'm looking forward to naming my firstborn after it.

  23. Re:I guess thats correct on Web Browser Developers Work Together on Security · · Score: 5, Funny

    well at the very least I'm sure we can all agree that IE is definitely the best browser not on the market.

    From what I can read here its undoubtably the best browser I've never tried, and (god willing) it will stay that way for many years.

  24. Re:I guess thats correct on Web Browser Developers Work Together on Security · · Score: 1

    I guess I can put up an explination page explaining to users that my blood red location bar is because I'm cool.

  25. I guess thats correct on Web Browser Developers Work Together on Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "IE 7 is one of the first browsers to implement some of the ideas discussed such as colour coding location bars"

    I like how this person uses "one of the first" in a positive sense.
