  1. Use Bluhell Firewall on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Reportedly Paid AdBlock Plus To Unblock · · Score: 1

    Bluhell has no options and no menus. It just blocks everything on Easylist. I stopped using Adblock a long time ago. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-...

  2. Central Planning on How Much Is Oracle To Blame For Healthcare IT Woes? · · Score: 2

    Central Planning at its best. What we would consider worse, they consider better.

  3. WiFi Directional Panel Antennas on the Ceiling on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Beautiful Network Cable Trays? · · Score: 1

    Using directed antennas attached to decent APs will ensure clients are connecting to the closest AP and reduce interference from omni-directional antennas spewing the signal everywhere. Attach flat-panel antennas to the ceiling pointing down over each cluster of workspaces.

  4. With patience on Ask Slashdot: How Did You Become a Linux Professional? · · Score: 1

    With patience and much forethought. I spent many years working with windows systems but always made sure those around me knew I knew Linux. People in the know recommended me for a network ops job where everyone else ran Linux. (or OS X [BSD]) Before that, it was never part of my work life. From there a began maintaining Linux servers and eventually moved on to an *nix admin position.

  5. Better regualte the free markets! on Sale of IPv4 Addresses Hindering IPv6 Adoption · · Score: 1

    I thought IPv4 was gone, all the IPs handed out willy-nilly for free?

    Oh wait, the free market is allocating them more efficiently now that they are all quasi private property?

    Better pull out the legislation to stop this and force IPv6 to go faster just cause we want it to.

    I always wondered why the ISP I worked at could just be handed a /16 for free with unverified supporting documentation!

    Disclaimer: I like IPv6, but I am preempting any comments proposing we stop this IPv4 "black market".

  6. Stop being angry on When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide · · Score: 1

    Why is everyone so angry? Yeah his project wasn't very nice, but he wasn't really spying on people. Does he know what they were doing on the computer? Did he copy their browsing history, log their passwords? No. The stores have surveillance cameras, the patrons were already being recorded. Does that make what he did right? No, but it is interesting. Did you want him to go to jail for 10 years and never be allowed to touch an electronic device ever again? Apple could have sued him in civil court, but even they decided it would be bad PR and/or was not worth it.

  7. Re:A Different Interpretation of the Tiers on Google Patents Using iPhones To Kill 'Free Bird' · · Score: 1

    At Chicago's Billy Goat Tavern, construction workers found physical threats an effective way to discourage smart-ass Whitney Young High School students from playing annoying jukebox songs over and over again.

    What the hell? Somebody want to fill me in? I just spent ten minutes googling for some news item about this and came up empty handed ...

    Obviously the submitter lived, worked, or went to school nearby. It is true though, my nicotine addicted friends would always huddle at Billy Goats in the back by the jukebox so they could smoke during lunch (back when you could inside...). The constructions workers from building projects nearby were a bunch of jerks though, throwing crap off the scaffolding on us as we'd walk back to school.

  8. Suren claim to fame is: He's the "producer" on Interview With Suren Ter From 'You Have Downloaded' · · Score: 1
    From the website:

    Suren Ter (me) I’m a producer of the site. Like a movie producer, I made the site. Ruslan is a visionary. He did the necessary research and invented the technical tricks. Ilia is a programmer. He does the code. You see those tables, html and widgets? He did it. Me? I don’t do code, I don’t do research, I don’t do design — I do sites. Drop me a message if you’d like.

    This guy's attitude is right in line with any "producer." They market other people's work to earn fame and/or money for themselves. Now, the two programmers, they actually MADE something and I don't see them complaining about "IP theft." A producer makes money from selling the product, the more money the product makes, the more successful they are. Actual creative minds (the programmers in this case), might make a bit of money, might get a job offer, but most importantly they have pride for having created something! Suren has nothing without being the gatekeeper.

  9. Linux a Windows Remote Desktop Termianl Server? on Persistent Terminals For a Dedicated Computing Box? · · Score: 1

    FreeNX seems nice, but in my experience your connections are only persistent on the remote host you used. Go use another host to login and you get a new session! RD allows you to lock your session, logout, and log into that session on another box...

  10. Downright Disgusting on Intel and Skype Exclude AMD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is a disgusting way of getting customers, it seems like there could be some kind of possible litigation considering they are making you buy one thing in order to use another. Maybe THIS is why VOIP companies should be regulated like we do the baby bells.

  11. Carbonate on Storing Liquid CO2 in the Oceans? · · Score: 1

    I think locking CO2 in solid carbonates or other solid forms is a much better more long term solution. I read about this recently, Discover, Popular Science, or here on Slashdot...

  12. Re:Coming to America on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Yes, I agree, but police incite riots. A peacable assembly can easily turn into a riot when over-zealous cops are on patrol. Personally, I think the Chicago police are some of the nicest during protests. Unlike what most cities would probably do, during the WTO protests they allowed the crowd to disperse into Lake Shore Drive (a hiway by all means), instead of blocking the protest and confronting the protesters. People won't get mad unless you make them mad, they look crazy, but thats cause protests are f*cking fun!

  13. Re:/.ed on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1

    Mythbusters is horrible. Not even an inkling of the scientific method. Anyone that takes their results as truth without doing their own experiments is a fool.
    They don't test in the right environments.
    They don't test adjusting for all the variables.
    But at least they're entertaining right?

  14. Re:Open doors on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    I was referring to something obviously left for trash pick up. Though, I live in Chicago, and if you left something in the street, and then called the cops when you saw your neighbor take it. The cops would first laugh at you, then maybe get your property back. By no means would they arrest the guy unless he made a big scene.

  15. Re:Bigger issue - people are cowards on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    You're a paranoid idiot. "It happens everyday" whine whine whine, this kind of crap gives us the Patriot Act and gestapo police. The news delivers garbage about killings everyday and we think it will happen to us. Act like you got a pair coward, practically NO ONE is going to shoot you for asking what they're doing on a public street. Get out of your suburban idealic mindset and realize the world isnt that dangerous.

  16. Re:Open doors on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Your points continue to example someone entering your property, your wireless signal extends beyond your property line. I personally like the analogy that your computer asks for access, and if your router is unprotected it says, "sure, here's an IP."

    Despite your points, your just plain ignorant if you leave your router unencrypted but do not wish for anyone to use it. You don't put your belongings out on the curb unless you want someone, the garbage collector or a bum, to take it away. If I see a brand new computer sitting next to a trash can, I can take it, and be protected by the law. This has been long established in the courts.

    I meant NTP is doing nothing to earn their money, RIM is the innovator who is getting screwed for taking initiative.

  18. Rediculous on The BlackBerry Infringing on Other Technologies? · · Score: 1

    I find it rediculous that we have a patent system that allows companies to simply hold patents that it does not use. Its ludicrous that you can make up some idea, patent it, not do a single thing to directly profit off it, then wait for some company to "steal" your idea and sue them.
    This crap is the #1 reason our society isn't sustainable, this loss of money to NTP, from RIM, from RIM's customers is wasteful, they're getting money for doing NOTHING.
    Welcome to America, home of the lazy.

    Viewing this link indicates that debate regarding this part of the bill was brought up before the Senate, but it was voted that the debate be stopped.

  20. Actually... Re:GPS on FCC to Push VoIP 911 Requirements · · Score: 1

    Actually, there is no GPS unit in "GPS" e911 cell phones. Each tower has a recorded GPS position, and your position is triangulated and converted to GPS coordinates by the tower then sent down to your phone.

  21. Alcohol on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    I have a spray bottle of alcohol that I spray down anything I want sterilized. No chemicals for them to resist, just alcohol. How hard is that? Unless you're like trying to kill cryptosporidium? Or what about a mix of bleach and alcohol (not sure of the chemical reactions that might happen then) so the water fromt he blech is evaporated quickly...

    More proof that no matter what you say about freedom and jusitce in America, we are still FAR better off than the rest of the world. I reckon this wouldn't happen in any US court, wasn't there a law passed that said a person can calim right to a domain if it is their personal name?
