  1. Re:Architects, rather? on Peter Tippett on Biomedicine and Security · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the entire computing field loves borrowing and mangling terminology from everywhere!

  2. Re:Only last so long on Free Web Hosting a Fount of Malware · · Score: 1

    That wasn't my point at all..
    I was thinking about port scanning in general

    Its equally easy to check if your machine has port 80 open.

  4. Re:Who would have guessed??? on Free Web Hosting a Fount of Malware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering that it is in their best interest to make their scams believable, I'm actually surprised that they would refuse to pay for legit hosting. I'm guessing hosting costs are a tiny portion of the profit they expect to make.
    Of course, these idiots who use free web space are probably bottom-of-barrel scum.

  5. Convoluted to sign up? on Free Web Hosting a Fount of Malware · · Score: 3, Interesting
    From TFA:
    They make you type in a word that has been obscured as an image to stop them from being set up automatically

    Does anyone know how effective these schemes really are? Is there a study that measures how effective this is?
  6. Re:Why is the version number apt? on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. 42 is the 'answer to everything'.
    You might want to disregard this comment. It only makes me want to wince. You were better off not knowing, probably.

    That takes time.

    Exactly. They've started. How long before they get good enough?
  8. Re:That's what I was afraid of. on Hot Coffee Content Within GTA Confirmed · · Score: 1

    The link's broken. Doesn't seem like /.ing, just an instant 404.

  9. Re:The developments won't be used for "defence". on Tom's Looks at Two DARPA Grand Challengers · · Score: 1
    last, but not least -- the failure to account for WMDs? The burden of proof was on Iraq, remember?
    I can't believe you brought this up.
    They "proved" it. Go take a look at what the UN inspection team found. For that matter, take a look at what the troops found (or didn't find, rather).
    Iraq's army was fourth largest in the world (after China, Russia, and US). You were saying?..
    Where did you get this? Do you mean before 1991? Since they lost the war, their army was completely decimated. Also note that they had no air force to speak of.
    Illegal? Well, this one will be the easiest for you to prove -- no need to argue about politics. Just quote me the UN Security Council resolution condemning our invasion as "illegal".... Thanks!
    Would you accept draft resolutions? Those that didn't pass because the US vetoed them?

    "another lady could open up PORT 80 TO BROWSE THE INTERNET"
    Ok, so she *could* open a port - why did you get the call?
    And if you meant *couldn't*, you should know that you don't need to OPEN port 80 to BROWSE.
  11. Re:Cheap on Space Tug to the Moon and Beyond · · Score: 1

    How exactly does solar power help with propulsion? I thought you need to throw stuff out the back in order to move forward.
