  1. Re:What would happen if... on Canada Unveils Internet Surveillance Legislation · · Score: 0

    But utilitarism is such a weak way of thinking! the means do not justify the ends!

  2. Re:Classroom software is CRUCIAL these days on Blackboard and WebCT merge · · Score: 0

    All my computer science professors seem to manage with computers just fine.

  3. Re:Not Just Software... on Yahoo! Orders Wikipedia Hardware · · Score: 0

    Are you telling me they make FPGAS?

  4. Portability on Symantec: Mac OS X Becoming a Malware Target · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's great!

    Once they have it for OSX it must be fairly easy to port it to FreeBSD. I guess they might have to add a new category in the ports: /usr/ports/malware

  5. Re:Let me get this stright on Ready or Not, Here comes Windows XP SP2 · · Score: 1, Funny
    1)People complain about windows security.

    2)Microsoft comes out with sp2 that has a built in firewall.

    3)People then complain that the firewall makes it so alot of other firewall/security applications don't work.

    4)Then they complain that things like FTP and IIS dont work....

    5)???

    6)Profit!
  6. You sued google? on Web Design on a Shoestring · · Score: 0

    "even the text word for word"

    Are you sure it wasn't just google's cached version of your webpage?

  7. Re:At what point is a computer powerful enough? on Scientists Find Flaw in Quantum Dot Construction · · Score: 0

    at what point is it powerful enough? when it can factor primes out of a 500 digit long number in less than 10 seconds; thus making public/private key encryption useless. How about using it to model very complex topics such as enviroment trends, or how space shuttles will preform under certain gravity or other such conditions? Why did we make these super-powerful calculators when we could have just stopped when we made the slide-rule?

  8. decay? on Six Laws of the New Software · · Score: 0

    In all most all industries the developed product decays with time and use. People buy new cars every 10 years or so (and sell their used '90 firefly to me...) But in the software industry programs last forever, and there is no need to replace them as the article suggests. The only way is to work on new technologies just like mathematicians can't simply re-calculate pi to 100 digits, if they want to get anywhere.

  9. even more "completely unbreakable" on Zimmermann Enters Debate on Microsoft Encryption · · Score: 1, Funny

    I have heard about this method before. If you wish to increase the security, it is best to take your original string, and simply XOR it with itself.

  10. If you are "filtering RSS" on Filtering RSS Through Your Social Web · · Score: 0

    Odds are, you do not have a "Social Web".

  11. Re:David and Goliath and devouring big companies on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 0

    Shortly after we see google's new web-based web browser.

  12. mysql_pconnect() on Phrack E-zine Comes To An End · · Score: 0

    Next time use mysql_p(hrack)connect(); looks like crackers dont like persistant connections

  13. Re:Wardriving is illegal? on Hacker Sentenced To Longest US Sentence Yet · · Score: 0

    However In the USA, it is illegal to listen to cellphones and cordless phones which are also using the "public" radio spectrum. This is also extened to: -intercepting encrypted communication -use information heard for profitable gain -use information to commit a crime and this case of wardriving does fall under this category.

  14. Re:ReactOS? on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: -1, Troll

    Isn't ReactOS just some guy how recompiled the leaked win2k source code?

    Linux has a much higher cost of 0wn3rship. Windows is much cheaper to 0wn.
