  1. Another solution... a WIRE on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 1

    So... paint one or two rooms, and keep both computer and wireless router within that room to make it work. ?

    Am I missing something on how useful this is? Doesnt it kinda defeat the entire purpose of wireless if you don't let the signal travel anywhere except within a small room?

  2. Not exactly on NASA Releases Free Global Climate Model Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    Scientist: "Global Warming is real, and we must study it more"

    Liberal: "The world will end next week! Stop using oil"

    Conserv^H^H^H^H^H Republican: "Global warming is a myth created to hinder my business"

    Nerd: "I wonder if there is any software that can be used for climate modeling"

  3. Thanks Exxon-Mobil for all that money on NASA Releases Free Global Climate Model Software · · Score: 0, Troll


    Why do I get the feeling that this research may have been funded by an oil company?

  4. Re:This is a good topical lesson for Slashdot read on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    What was it that our current President said about a website that made fun of him?

    "There Ought to be Limits to Freedom."

    And didn't he also try several legal challenges to that website to try to limit their freedom to say what they wanted?

    You are absolutely right, that its not anywhere approaching the levels that Iran is doing. But personally, I'm not altogether impressed just because my democracy wins when compared against a yardstick like the theological dictatorship of Iran.

  5. Re:Kick Iranians off the Net Entirely on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    Interesting, the overwhelming majority of attacks on my system come from Asia. Why dont you just deny the address block?

  6. Go Go Gadget Arms! on Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees · · Score: 1

    Why is that poor form? How else can you fight against Dr Claw?

  7. Re:Will this affect supervision/abuse? on LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ex's will always find a way to tell negative stories to mutual friends. Don't blame livejournal for your ex-gf being a bitch.

  8. Browser based apps on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 2, Informative

    but honestly, is anybody still thinking that an entire OS can be replaced by a web browser?

    At my workplace, I've implemented new browser based apps, and love them.

    Everything is centralized, so I don't have to worry about maintaining software on 50 different machines.

    There are no OS specific requirements. Any company computer can now run ANY os that has a browser, and still be able to do ALL of the core company work.

    That means, I can give people a bare bones box, with no hard drive, and a knoppix cd, and they can do everything required for work.

    Unless MS does somethign which makes me really want to use IE, then there is no reason to even be using MS.

  9. Re:Spam for Babyboomers on Vioxx Replaces Porn as Spam King · · Score: 1

    Con artists and salesmen have recognized this for years. Target the elderly. They usually have some amount of money saved up, and are more likely to be tricked.
