  1. Re:Vital Stats on Boot Linux In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    I've figured it out! It's actually an elaborate ruse! He has a predetermined response to every command depending on which state you're in!

  2. Re:Brain warmup on 35% Use Mobile Apps Before Getting Out of Bed · · Score: 1

    Funny, I've done this twice already. It's just really relaxing for 5 minutes before getting up.

  3. Re:SonicWall on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    I didn't know about their past.

    We're running a TZ210 in our small shop of less than 50 workstations and a few servers without issue. Maybe I don't have a problem because of the simple setup we're running?

    BTW, their support is pretty good from personal experience. Although the support guy did keep bugging me with questions after he helped me with a custom config...

  4. SonicWall on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Dead simple installations, multitude of configuration options to do most everything. Still lets you get down and dirty if you need to.

    Phew! Sea of targets! That makes all the difference.

    Now there can be multiple targets for the sea of thieves!

  8. Re:Kind of early to predict that on RIM Collapse Beginning? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a feeling that they'll begin to focus more on software, perhaps taking their BBM service to other platforms first.

    They should do what they did initially.. be rock solid on the business end, then phase back into the consumer realm.

  9. Re:HTTPS on Mediacom Using DPI To Hijack Searches, 404 Errors · · Score: 1

    How would option 2 be illegal?

    Why would the browser complain about the fake certificates? As far as the browser knows, the CA identity is hard-coded and secure. The server may attempt to verify the certificate, but then the firewall can intercept that as well.

  10. Re:HTTPS on Mediacom Using DPI To Hijack Searches, 404 Errors · · Score: 1

    The firewall contacts the CA and verifies the identity of the site you're attempting to access. The firewall then responds with its own certificate, claiming to be from the CA you requested. Your browser will never know the difference. The firewall then decrypts the traffic you send out and inspects it. Done.

  11. Re:Trolls on Punish Bad Users With Drupal Misery · · Score: 1

    Auto-reply from the same fake user: "dumbass" to every first post per thread. They'll be pissed that they can't offend the bot upon future troll attempts.

  12. Re:Oh, haha. on Amazon Denies Skynet's Involvement In AWS Outage · · Score: 1

    Please.. just because something bad happened, doesn't mean your pr can't make a joke to rest peoples fears. You can still be doing everything to fix the problem in the mean time.

  13. Re:So what? on The End of the "Age of Speed" · · Score: 1

    As a 25yr old scientist, this article makes me angry. We're just settling for what we have instead of efficiency and advancement.

  14. Re:Wrong problem anyone? on The Hobbit Filming at 48fps · · Score: 1

    i wear a spinning fan hat with pieces of alternating polarizing film attached at the end to make a spinning cylinder around me. I walk outside with my 3d glasses and I really get the full effect.

  15. Re:Solution on Workers Will Smash Their PCs To Get an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    And you would be correct. We're not at a size where we have to worry about standardization just yet. I figure when that happens, I'll have to start them from scratch with a baseline which I can clone.

  16. Solution on Workers Will Smash Their PCs To Get an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Spending $500 on a cheap dual core with 4GB of ram should be high on the priority of any company with aging office workstations. Huge money saver when your employee doesn't have to wait on that old P4 to open a window anymore.

  17. Re:Its not their fault... on Comodo Says Two More RAs Compromised · · Score: 1

    Make sure to do it over starbucks wifi from the safety of your bicycle and old man mask on. while you're at it, make sure to buy the laptop from craigslist and pick it up with old man mask still on. never connect it to any other network than starbucks. bounce through at least 30 proxies including those located in russia and africa. then brag about it on facebook and go to jail.

  23. Re:Like Java, without the JVM on Google x86 Native Browser Client Maybe Not So Crazy After All · · Score: 1

    I imagine a Photoshop app where rendering is done server side and client side in parallel. This can also lead to cloud vendor using your computer to perform calculations for others. Can you say distributed, decentralized, cloud computing?
