  1. Re:But... on A Million-Dollar Laptop Created · · Score: 1, Funny

    For one million dollars i would expect that it comes with Vista. You would pretty much cut it's value in half by installing Linux.

  2. chflags? on One Laptop Per Child Security Spec Released · · Score: 1

    No one seems to be mentioning chflags, first appeared in 4.4BSD and they make it possible for a user to protect files from themselves, even from root. I haven't read the full Bitfrost specs yet but from the short wiki introduction it sounds like they're missing things that protect files from the processes run by the owner of the files. Chflags does this.

  3. Re:Not smoking? on Why Your SNES Turned Yellow · · Score: 1

    I only said smoking because anyone who has ever seen the walls and ceiling of an apartment where a heavy smoker has lived for a longer period of time should know what smoke does to white or bright surfaces over long periods of time.

  4. SNES on Why Your SNES Turned Yellow · · Score: 1

    My snes turned a yellowish huge to though, i think that was because of heavy smoking because it smells as if one of those plastic additives was tobacco.

  5. The first thing that crossed my mind... on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If this is real, who will solve the problem of divide by nullity? Sounds like he's just adding another problem to solve the first one.

  6. Been done... on Reading Your Postal Mail Online · · Score: 1

    ...in Denmark for years. Also a pay service and done automatically with robots.

  7. yo on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    A Swedish newspaper uses a fun approach where they send the mailto link in the Location HTTP header. So the link you click on to get the e-mail address is a regular url to some page but once you get there the cgi sends the e-mail to you and it acts like a mailto link in Opera at least. Probably in other browsers to since it's Swedens largest and oldest newspaper. On my own personal webpage i just write "my e-mail user is called nocturnal on the domain swehack.se", simply because i already have a job and it's just a personal hobby webpage.
