  1. welcom on Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico · · Score: 1, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new dolphin overlords.

  2. diy on Using Technology to Protect Anonymous Sources? · · Score: 1

    I suggest that reporters: 1) use their own laptops. 2) use their own email addresses with their own domain. 3) host their domain and email on a server that they own or with a company that will not turn over their records and/or not be subject to US law. 3) always access their email accounts over encrypted connections. On the other end, the source can make himself anonymous. I would suggest reporters encourage their sources to use a free email service like yahoo and always access the emails service using multiple web proxy servers, and publicly accessible connections. Obviously they would need to establish some code to identify the authenticity of the source to the reporter.

  3. intrusion detection on Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention? · · Score: -1

    All you need is the who command. Choosing an operating system, distribution, and version that releases security patches quickly is a key part of preventing an intrusion.

  4. questions on Science's 125 Big Questions · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are we alone in the Universe? What are the limits of conventional computing? Why I can't I get a date?

  5. Re:Ruby on Rails driving change? on James Gosling on Java · · Score: 1

    I have always wondered why sun's java tools, servers, etc. are such garbage. I think the reason may be that they make more from licensing java than they probably could if they had good products and competed aggressively with ibm, bea, oracle etc. It might scare those vendors away.

  6. Engineers are bad spellers on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 5, Funny

    At georgia tech there is a road named Ferst street. Naturally the running joke is that they misspelled First Street.

  7. Re:You know this is how it'll start on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 3, Informative

    here is what it looks like

  8. client side callbacks? on Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is Atlas any different from Client-side CallBacks which is a long known feature of asp.net 2.0? I suspect it is not different. If not, it's interesting how Microsoft's marketing department got several news outlets (eWeek, InformationWeek) to report a long known feature as news.

  9. what other use as far as i know on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    These are my observations from working at different places (as a programmer, not sys admin). On the high end, lots of people use cisco pix, and checkpoint. Microsoft shops usually use ISA. I have personally used IPChains/IPTables on Linux. Regarding less than $100, you might as well use ICF built into windows if that's all you can spend. Also as an alternative, some network guys I know swear WatchGuard is comparable to cisco but that it's a good bargain.

  10. watch guard on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    i recomend looking into watchguard. It uses linux.

  11. Shameless Copying on Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7 · · Score: 0, Troll

    They are shamelessly copying us.

  12. Re:can't be wrong all the time on Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux · · Score: 1

    i agree, besides there were some pretty big clues, like the existance of the darwin project.

  13. Automated Testing on Spoofing Flaw Resurfaces in Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does the firefox community have any regression testing? They need fully automated test like the linux kernel has now.

  14. makes sense on Online Shoppers Aren't Impulsive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it makes sense that web shoppers aren't implusive because there is no immediate satisfaction. It takes days to actually get your order. If you are impulsive you will probably want the item immediately and will probably go buy it in a real store.
