  1. Google already offers micro-payments on Google CEO Confirms Online Payment System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Adsense is essentially a micropayment platform as is Y! ad technology, consider: 1 your click transfers money from advertiser to adsense 2 they are concerned about 'click fraud' 3 advertisers will pay *anyone* to get you to look at their stuff; google and others offer you services in exchange for you looking at the ads they sell

  3. Re:Netscape Directory **IS** OpenLDAP on Red Hat Opens Netscape Directory · · Score: 1

    I've setup multiple Netscape and OpenLDAP systems, neither in the last year. They're both LDAP systems so you have to make decisions WRT your requirements. If you are a unixy type they behave the way you would want and come with robust command line tools that make it relatively easy to migrate data from other systems . If you are expecting a solid UI that covers everything look elsewhere - I'm not sure it exists but it ain't these guys last time I checked.

  4. Re:I'm sure OpenLDAP 17 will be faster still on Red Hat Opens Netscape Directory · · Score: 1

    I've setup and deployed multi-million entry Netscape LDAP server systems that never go down. At somepoint I hit a file system size limit (Solaris at the time) and used DB plug-in to work around.

  5. Netscape Directory **IS** OpenLDAP on Red Hat Opens Netscape Directory · · Score: 1

    Aren't both of these largely Tim Howes work from UMich?

  6. Re:harder this time on Broadcast Flag 2 - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    The current state of affairs is along the lines of 80 years plus a lifetime. The original tit-for-tat was 17 years. The argument for 17 years of copyright protection is substantially weakened by the progress of distribution technologies like the internet. The time for industries dependant on those limited (theoretically only apparently) society granted monopolies to eveolve is long since overdue.

  7. Re:harder this time on Broadcast Flag 2 - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    Umm. Rfused to extend copyright. So the 17 year rule is still in effect and it's not the 80 years beyond the life of artist that the US Fed thinks it is?

  8. SSL vulnerable too! on Flaw Found in VPN Crypto Security · · Score: 1

    You can disable encryption in SSL. Next article "Critical Flaw found in SSL."

  9. Flashy Title Generates Ad Clicks!` on Flaw Found in VPN Crypto Security · · Score: 1

    From now on we should expect every IE or Firefox vulnerabilitiy to be reported as "Flaw found in Internet security"? Very dramatic!

  10. Slashdot provides critical security advisory! on Flaw Found in VPN Crypto Security · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you hand your credit card to the first person who walks past you when you're done eating, it may not be your waiter!

  11. It's not a paradox... on Current Crypto Trends with Bruce Schneier · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why is it that the more I know about a topic on slashdot the less intelligent the slashdot community seems?
