  1. ISAPI = Lipstick on Ferrari on Serious Apache Exploit Discovered · · Score: 2, Informative

    Play on words here... Maybe its Lipstick on a pigs platform, as IIS SUCKS balls.

    ISAPI == worthless in the context of using it for Apache. Most of its 'features' are well implemented in Apache with no need for ISAPI unless you're running very specialized apps that make extensive use of ISAPI.

  2. Silly Microsoft on Microsoft VP Suggests 'Net Tax To Clean Computers · · Score: 1

    What, are they TRYING to piss off their shareholders? I've never heard of anybody who wants to essentially tax themselves...

  4. Obligatory plug for la familia on Florida To Build Solar-Powered City · · Score: 1

    My mother originally worked AGAINST the ranch being 'bought out' by 'evil developers'. But after a year of working with unreasonable 'hippie' types (Babcock preservation partnership, I'm talking to you) ;-) she eventually sided with the developer (this is slashdot, the LAND developer) to build a 'green city' as their Environmental Affairs Director.

    My background? 27 years old, 27 years in the solar energy field. Father has been in it for 30 years. I'm now the IT Manager for http://www.solarenergy.com/

    /shameless plug

    Congrats to all involved, solar is about to cross paths with Moore's law and with any luck my very abstract postulation that solar energy is infact the 'open source' of energy generation methods will be realized.

  5. BOFH botnet baby! on USAF Considers Creation of Military Botnet · · Score: 1

    why go to the lengths of creating a botnet from scatch? Use open source software to achieve your idealistic vision of what constitutes world and cyberspace domination! I've already gotten a debian based botnet. Yes, its called DSH. here is my proof of concept. ~#$HOST=terrorists|boogeyman_du_jour|ex_wife|unknown ~# dsh -a ping -f -c X -S 1024 $HOST Implemented by your local friendly BOFH.

    Well, at least the courts have to demonstrate mens rea... /sarcasm

  8. I'm no neuropharmacologist but... on Cocaine Vaccine In the Works · · Score: 1

    I would be willing to bet that this does not work past the blood brain barrier. (ok, I RTFA, it does not)

    In other words the "vaccine" attacks the active metabolites in the *bloodstream* preventing them from being digested further then binding to specific neurotransmitter sites.

    This is not a vaccine at all. I do not recall who said it but "Neurons that fire together wire together", which is for the most part true. There is absolutely no way that a single "vaccine" can undo the years of networking that ones neurons have done to bestow an addictive personality. A vaccine would be something that trains the brain (as in SSRI, SNRI, or other antidepressant treatment) to promote neurogenesis to accomodate the increases in seretonin, norepheperine (sp?), dopamine, etc in the synapse.

    This is a novel way to digest drugs, nothing else IMO.

  9. I dont see the theft as an issue. on FCC Requires Backup Power For 210K Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    Gensets that would be 'enterprise class' are big monolithic machines that are most likely not walking away unless equally big machinery is brought in to move them off the concrete pads they are bolted down to.

    Its not like its some 1KW 'garage' special we're talking about here.

    Furthermore if it did prove to be a problem stick, a renewable source like solar or a wind turbine up on the tower where permissible to lower the risk of theft so only the truly desperate would partake

  10. Dutch boy? on Former Anti-Nuclear Activist Does A 180 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Fingers? Dikes?

    Eh, its not all bad. I guess after a few hundred (thousand?) years of an irradiated water supply perhaps he *could* plug all those holes!

    Go nuc-u-lar!

  11. Of course dogs can recognize other dogs on Picture-Sorting Dogs Show Human-Like Thought · · Score: 1

    I have a 3 year old Lab/Pit mix. When he was a puppy he used to charge the TV snarling and barking if another dog showed up on the set.

    He would sniff the air and not pickup their scent which would calm him somewhat. It was still fun to watch him try to 'defend' his territory against the invaders.

    The interesting thing was, that he would cease barking and putting on a show the moment the channel changed to something that was less threatining to him.

  14. war room? on A Look at Microsoft's Security War Room · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Is it just me or is slashdot's headlines as of late running parallel to the average idiots way of describing everything as a war?

    Somewhat disconcerting, and humorous at the same time seeing as MS has a 'war room'. All while knowing of the monumental failures of current wars. E.g 'war on drugs' 'war on poverty' 'war on obesity', etc.

    I guess just add 'war against standards compliancy' to the list.

  18. Re:Water used as coolant - Computers will be on to on Sun to Create Underground Japanese Datacenter · · Score: 1

    The outpost will be created by lowering Blackbox systems into the ground; Sun Microsystems is to lower Sun Blackbox systems into caves in the land of the rising sun. Whats next, goatse based data centers. ;) A horrifically bad pun on 'where the sun dont shine'. Sue me.
  19. Re:power isnt free on Monitor Draws Zero Power In Standby · · Score: 1

    The key to this is the solar panels they mention, which keep the caps topped off against leakage current. Without them, the design seems worthless to me, but with them you have an "alternative energy" monitor that puts photovoltaics to a use where, amazingly enough, they actually work. This miffs me. Apparently you're just trolling or you're extremely biased in your views regarding solar cells and their uses. There are myriad applications where amazingly enough, they actually work, and have been for the better part of 20 years.
