  1. Re:Nothing to fear on Should We Be Afraid of TPM Chips? · · Score: 1
    The sensor also responds only to live tissue from what i have tried
    So are you saying that you have tried with dead fingers? *chuckles*
  2. Re:Customize? on Should We Be Afraid of TPM Chips? · · Score: 1

    But was it really turned off? Seriously think about it. Do you know for a fact that the chip was turned off? Is there a way to independently verify the chip isn't functioning?

  3. Re:How about comparing with elsewhere? on Increased Bandwidth Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    Even thats to little. You don't even need fiber to the home. You can do 1 Gbps over coax/copper. The man is holding us down.... stick it to the man!

    Kids? What are those? *googles by telnetting to google.com :80 and typing in raw HTTP strings* Oh. They result from a thing called sex.... *googles sex*. Oh that involves girls. What are girls *googles girls*. oH. This is /. remember? :)

    Obviously. Bob is a guys name. LOL
  9. Re:Works great with older setups & configs on Amanda 2.5 Released · · Score: 1

    I am a "youngster" (21). I find myself seeking the input of older sysadmins/programmers on a regular basis. They help you save a lot of time and money. And just to be pedantic history doesn't repeat itself. People repeat history.

  10. Now if only.... on DDoS Attacks Via DNS Recursion · · Score: 1

    microsoft and sco and all the other evil corps hosted DNS with joker it would be alright. :) Has anyone actually been unable to get to sites because of this? 500,000 domains isn't that many really. And the sites thet the majority of the world visit (google/yahoo/slashdot/myspace) are all up and accessible. So I don't see what the big deal is. Unless this DdOS spreads to the rest of the name server system or causes it to overload.

  11. Re:OWASP, Matching the training to the individual on Application Security Testing and Training? · · Score: 1

    They obviously didn't use your services. Just kidding :)

  12. Re:Hint... on Good Podcasts and Podcatchers? · · Score: 1

    What I meant was that in the context of the orignial post, which I presume was refering to ipod. So I said in his context I think he meant suffix. :)

  13. Re:Hint... on Good Podcasts and Podcatchers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thats suffix

  14. Am I the only one.. on US Government Seeks Open-Source Translation · · Score: 1

    that read that as Open Source Transition? I was like cool they want to change to open source. But no they just want to use the public to translate documents. Boring.

  15. Re:Hate to say 'I told you so', but... on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 1

    I agree. Having complied with many many information requests I can speak with authority on this subject. The information I was producing was in databases. It was all live data. However pulling it out and formatting it the way the requester wanted was not trivial. So Google could (and very well should) charge for providing the live data as well. I can only presume they store the data in some sort of database. The conversion and formatting process for this information could be quite intensive. The only problem is that you can't really charge a court for information retrivial. As I said above I have done many information dumps. Both for supeona and clients. We could charge the clients. But not for the stuff under court order. Which really was very annoying.

  16. Re:One word: Roadmap! on Making an Open Source Application More Successful? · · Score: 1

    Thats a very good and concsie reply. I see a business opportunity in measuting popularity here. Whats it called? A mashup I think. I conduct my research in much the same way as you using the same sources. Its a great way to measure the pulse of a technology/program/platform.

  17. Problem of the /. effect on Ekiga 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    The problem of the slashdot effect is that everyone will discuss the horrible naming choice of your product vs the product itself :) Gotta love it.

  18. Re:Name Change on Ekiga 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Love your sig. Its a great variation of the standard quote. Got a good chuckle out of it.

    Well the Outlook support is proprietary plugins. Mine relies on an open source plugin
    OpenConnector

    Its slated for a beta release in May. I am planning to release 1.0 of my project in may as well.

    There is no real exchange replacement that is 100% open source. My project is looking to change that. http://www.thewybles.com/~charles/oser is the website.
