  1. Re:I can confirm this on Cisco Confirms Arrest In Theft Of Its Code · · Score: 0

    Cisco IOS software sucks, for the record.

    I have to work with these routers daily, and their command-line interface is inadequate, the documentation is lacking and the source code is probably FULL of holes, which is why its theft got Cisco so mad. Now the holes were obvious and they actually had to work for their customers, to secure ISPs, etc.

  2. Re:Challenge on Symantec Launches Anti-Spyware Beta · · Score: 1

    1.) NAT Router replaces Firewall
    2.) Manual AV only (when I think something is wrong)
    3.) No active anti-spyware
    4.) No Persistent Port Forwarding to critical machines
    5.) Common sense

    I also use Linux. I do have a shell script to run an AV scan and such, and chkrootkit installed on my server.

  3. Great publicity on Opera CEO Prepares to Swim across the Atlantic · · Score: 1

    I suppose more people would be pleased if it was someone with Mozilla, as firefox is already better known, but imagine watching the channel 5 news (or whatever channel you watch) and seeing a short piece about the creator of a web browser swimming across the Atlantic. I'm sure a lot of people would look into it.

    It's just that if it was the "creator," or one of the major developers of Mozilla, it might get more interest since more people are already open to it.

    Just for the record I am an Opera user myself. Yes I paid. I have no objection to closed source etc, so long as it's good and they don't treat customers like criminals :)

  11. Re:Er... on Wordpress Banned by Google for Spamming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It looks as if thus far, Wordpress has removed the articles, google has removed the results, as has Yahoo! ... they are still available on MSN at this time, only through cached copies such as this:

  12. Re:Who cares, it's a stupid domain anyway on Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA · · Score: 2, Insightful

  13. Re:Hit F5 on Computer Crash Reactions Examined · · Score: 1

    stdio.h and time.h

    I stated above I'm not a programmer I just know a little C. What I still remember from the book "The C Programming Language"

  14. Re:Hit F5 on Computer Crash Reactions Examined · · Score: 1

    im not a C programmer, I just know how to do some stuff. It does compile (if you put in the headers that ./ filtered out)

    Bah. It's just my way of telling the computer I think it's crap and also cooling off after, cause its screaming in pain.

  15. Re:Hit F5 on Computer Crash Reactions Examined · · Score: 1

    I didn't feel like posting the full source. Here it is so no troubles:

    #include
    #include
    int x;

    int main() {

    for(x=0;x10;x++) {
    printf(" AHH! I'M SORRY MASTER. THE PAIN! AHHH! AHHHH!\n ");
    sleep(1); } }

    plus it gives me ten seconds to cool off and decide if I really want to rm -Rf /

    wrote a c program:

    printf("OH AHHHHHHH STOP OOOOOOH OUCH AAAAAAAAHHH ... NO NOT THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!")

  17. Re:Another contest ... on Linuxense Break-in Challenge Over · · Score: 1, Interesting

    why don't we do this with windows and see how it goes? assuming adamantix is just secure, and wasn't touched, i wonder how an untouched install of XP Pro SP2 would handle.

    It would certainly speak volumes of security.

  18. since when... on Illinois Videogame Law Moves Forward · · Score: 3, Funny

    do games have people "defecating on eachother"? are they playing porno games or something? Japanese H-games?

    can anyone tell me if there are really any american games with this sort of thing, or if it's just FUD.

  19. Re:I see Flicker at other refresh rates.... on Flickering Curiosity? · · Score: 1

    I see the same thing, the flickering. I actually see it all the way up to 72hz, but it gets much less noticeable after 70. I'm curious about this too.

    netbsd could run on this ages ago.

  21. Re:How is the US pound measured? on Experts Suggest Replacing Definition of Kilogram · · Score: 1

    I believe it's the other way around. A kilogram is 2.20462262 pounds, and 1cm is 0.393700787 in.

    I'm joking of course, but seriously imperial measurements have been around longer than the metric system.

    not if it's bill gates repeating it so many times. then people just end up hating you more.

    it was caldera. I remember installing it on an old 133Mhz Micron in my grandfather's basement several years ago. It came with my "Idiot's guide to Linux" book. I failed to successfully install it then, but since I've done many a successful install.

  25. Re:How do you plan to use it? on How Secure Is Microsoft's Fingerprint Reader? · · Score: 1

    most modern forum systems (vbulletin, punbb, phpbb, etc) encrypt the passwords using MD5 in the MySQL database. I first discovered punbb did when I tried to recover a password for a user. I just changed it for him.
