  1. Mission Impossible on Death On Demand Drive Tech · · Score: 1

    A must have accessory for those "this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds" moments.

  2. Just imagine... on PetaBox: Big Storage in Small Boxes · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...a beowolf cluster of these.

    Sorry, it had to be done.

  3. Re:Why no pump? on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, you could put another bucket outside to collect the used water and when it all has been used up just swap round the buckets and get some excersise while you are at it. btw, avoid electric cables while carrying water otherwise all the cooling will have been wasted.

  4. I've got a better idea on The Evil in E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Why not apply this logic to off-line policing. Say for example you're a muslin, have recently been in afghanistan, hold a pilot license and are quite handy with a gun. The chances have it you are terrorist. Or maybe a commercial pilot.

    The logic this system uses is so funadamentally flawed in so many ways I really can't be bothered to go into its details. Let's just say these are the sort of methods even STASI would have thought twice about implementing.

  5. Whatever on The Evil in E-Mail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am sure this will prove to as productive as searching eBay images for hidden Al-Qaeda messages.

  6. Err, whats the point? on Double Your Fun with DoubleSight · · Score: 1

    At work I have two 19" screens at they work perfectly and were probably cheaper than this behemoth. Also, when I am buying branded monitors I have pretty good idea what I am getting, which I am not sure can be said for these guys. Sorry but it seems just like another gimmick. Anyway if you've got money to burn check out this bad boy

  7. Re:Hacker Hunter U on BusinessWeek on Hacker Hunters · · Score: 1

    Don't believe everything you read in a paper called "The Truth". Their speciality is hillarious UFO stories. See here for more

  8. Re:Options on Lycos Germany to No Longer Store IP Data · · Score: 1

    You are forgetting the fact that Morgan Stanley is a company in highly regulated financial services and such is very carefully monitored. At the end of the day when you are relying on them to make multi-billion dollar decisions, you really need to have more than their word for it, especially if the shit hits the fan as did in your example. Don't confuse two issues.

  9. Re:Talking of bugs... on Computer Problem Caused Price Errors on NASDAQ · · Score: 1

    So IE counts as IT but Firefox doesn't?

    Why is there a PHP icon at the top of the page, which should be a Firefox icon.

  12. Re:About time on IBM Backs Firefox In-House · · Score: 1

    Not sure. But ASP being server side, I don't see what difference it makes. Also, very few people use browser based internal apps on a regular basis. The reason I grumble about it is the great on-page search tool Firefox has, with which you sift through a 50 page report in no-time, which is what I do most of the day.

  13. Re:Google article withdrawl on IBM Backs Firefox In-House · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's Friday and the Google crew is out playing Volleyball.

  14. Re:Download count on IBM Backs Firefox In-House · · Score: 1

    Is there an official download counter? What's the URL?

  15. About time on IBM Backs Firefox In-House · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I work at a major investment bank and just yesterday they decided to send a memo around saying that Firefox is not to be used. I wonder why that was? No, really does anyone have any suggestions.

  16. Hang on here... on 29th ACM Intl. Programming Contest Results · · Score: 1

    Unlike the Slashdot summary the above results put Moscow State in 1st place and the the hosts in 5th. Well, wouldn't be Slashdot otherwise.

  17. What this shows is that... on 29th ACM Intl. Programming Contest Results · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...Communist (or ex) countries produce better programmers. Maybe it's because once you've tried commanding a whole economy, programming seems trivial by comparison.

  18. Re:Not a single U.S. school on 29th ACM Intl. Programming Contest Results · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Or Western Europe for that matter, none of which are to be found in the top 12. Did they even enter or just outsource everything to the "Developing Countries"?

    Let's hope Dejan Levaja does not fall victim to the usual retaliation by big software co's like Dmitry Sklyarov.

    err, Declan is the author of the article. So I presume it's a copy of the article, unless he's written comething deeper on the topic.

  25. Re:Old Soviet rules... on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    Good point, but even the new Soviet Union aka Russia has laws requiring it's citizens to carry an internal passport. Something you'll producing to police and security types several times a day if you look "Asian".
