  1. sought the assistance of??? on BSA Reacts to 'New' BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    > BSA has traditionally sought the assistance of those hosting the actual pirated files. So that's what they're calling it these days. I guess "suing the ass off" has lost its appeal.

  2. Does this constitute Proof of Black Holes? on Black Hole Birth Detected this Morning · · Score: 1

    C.f. this Slashdot story from about a month ago where a phycisist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory claims that 'it's a near certainty that black holes don't exist.' Time to eat crow or do his "dark energy stars" exhibit the same behavior as black holes?

  3. Re:New Discovery? on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This isn't new stuff! It's all fixed in 1.0.1. What, exactly, are you thanking Secunia for?

  4. Re:The most important part of TFA on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That has to be the most pathetic slashdot blurb I've ever seen. It's grossly misleading and links to a completely assinine site (which, in return, doesn't even link to the Secunia report - the real source).

  5. rounded corners! on Electronic Gadget Ideas for a New House? · · Score: 1

    If you make sure the conduits have rounded corners, you can almost always get a stiff wire through (thick coaxial cable is actually quite good, although you can get built-for-that guide wires as well). You just know that SOMEONE is going to cut that string or placeholder wire at some point.

  6. Re:consolidate servers on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Control resources. I always have people yelling for more mailbox space and file storage space. Tell them to have their department buy it and they STFU. While controlling resources is necessary, this seems a bit BOFH-ish. I've had to live with several severely limited email accounts and in the end, the costs associated with having me try and clean my account, search for mails I archived somewhere else, re-request information because that pdf was just taking up too much space, etc. clearly outweigh the costs of a new hd.

  7. Re:Rebuttals on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 1

    On my WinXP box using Firefox 1.0, the two letters are PIXEL IDENTICAL, so there is no way to tell the fake "a" from the real "a". This will, of course, depend completely on the font you are using, but for most people, this exploit should work. You could probably do the same thing with cítíbank.com without too many ppl noticing, although there is a one-pixel difference per "i".

  8. Re:Why NIPLAC? on U.S. to Get New IP Czar · · Score: 1

    You know it.

    It's the NIPLE Coordination Council.

    Hopefully, they'll do more than just scratch their arses... or maybe not.
