  1. Put it on the Internet on Can You Access Your Own Cash Register Data? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please tell him to make it accessible via the Internet and to not encrypt his credit card data. It would make life so much easier for my Russian friends.

    Ever heard of PCI-DSS?

  2. From the redacted opinion on FBI Coerced Confession Deemed "Classified" · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the redacted opinion:

    "This opinion has been redacted because portions of the record are under seal. For the purposes of the summary judgment motion, Templeton did not contest that Higazy's statements were coerced."
  3. Held up at gunpoint? on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like? · · Score: 1

    It's terrible that you were held up at gunpoint.

    Did you recognize any of the assailants? If you can identify one of them as a former Heisman Trophy winner, I'd like to negotiate a book deal.

  4. What information would you trust to eBay? on IRS To Go After eBay Sellers · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I would think that eBay would put up a big fight over this. For eBay to properly report the transactions to the IRS, they would need to know either the Social Security Number of the individual or the Tax ID if it is a business. Would you be willing to provide eBay with your SSN? If this were made a requirement for continuing to sell items on eBay, I could see people leaving in droves.

  5. Re:Space Invaders on Acoustic Sensors Make Any Surface a Touch Pad · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's hope that this thing can be adapted to work on all 3D surfaces. Imagine cybersex where you can have both hands on the keyboard.

  6. Re:I've heard this somewhere before... on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    It's OK. When the Spam starts to happen, we all just need to think of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

  7. Re:A Qunu "expert" speaks... on The Tech Support of the Crowds · · Score: 1

    I'm signed up as well and I have to agree with the above comments. It can be a lot of work, so you need to be in the proper mood.

    Like this morning, I had to sign off jabber after getting too many requests for help with eliminating duplicate posts from appearing on Slashdot.

  8. Re:IBM internal on Lotus Notes For Linux To Be Released By IBM · · Score: 1

    As someone that has been using Notes for years (actually forced to use Notes for years), I have very mixed emotions about this development. On one hand, I like that there will finally be a Linux version of the Notes client. It gives me some options. However, on the other hand, it only prolongs the use of what has become a totally dysfunctional application within IBM.

    I know that I will probably ruffle some feathers here, but the Notes client is a horrible mail client. The way most Notes databases/applications have been set up, they are cumbersome and ineffective. And finally, Notes has become a convenient crutch to lean on for rapid deployment. Most of the apps should not be based upon Notes. Yet, it is used over and over again since it does not require a new app to be pushed to the desktop.

    Notes cannot be killed soon enough for me.

  9. Bangalore or Rochester. What's the difference? on Network Management Outsourced to India · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I work for a very large international company that does network monitoring for large enterprise clients. We monitor from Toronto, Boulder, Rochester and Bangalore. The support we get from the group in India is no worse that the support that is delivered from North America.

    As long as we're not using Tivoli, everything is fine.
