  1. Re:Already been done in a better form on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Same with Nlite, located here http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html/.

    I believe a vista version was release as well known as vlite. I have not used either but they look very promising, I have been meaning to try out nlite for the next time I reformat but maybe I will try one of these alternatives instead. Any one out there used them all?

  2. Re:A house sitter. on How to Protect a Home When Away in Winter? · · Score: 1

    Home automation has actually become quite affordable (and easier) recently. http://homeseer.com/ is a good starting place. Thermostat control could be setup with events to call you on your phone, drop you an email or whatever. Yay technology! Of course, backup power is important and limited but as long as it allows enough time for the software to call you, your house may be saved.

    Do you remember the noise generated when Microsoft started talking to Novel?

    Sometimes flirting with the enemy can be advantageous as it shows they recognize the competition and its presence. Let's face it, Microsoft isn't necessarily ahead when it comes to security.

    Can't go wrong for 170kbs Now if only other software downloads were that feature complete and compact...

  5. Re:Having it both ways... on TSA Now Investigating Boarding Pass Hacker · · Score: 1

    The site did not take any measure to avoid having someone use it (besides some warnings and stuff)

    There was another site that emerged after this one was shut down, and it did add some kind of Void marking on it.

    I think the real problem here is that the authorities do not understand how easy the exploit is and they think that by making this "generator" the sites creator made things so much easier. Its fucking html! Yeah you have to know something but come on. If boarding passes were hand written would they be surprised if they could be faked? What if boarding passes were word documents sent as an attachment? The average computer user can figure out how to edit that, right? Well copying the source of a page and dropping it in notepad isn't that much more difficult. Hell, you can hit save page and then pop it open in word. The average user I'm sure can do that. But somehow, his actions constituted an investigation. Politicians need to pull their heads out of their asses and get with the times.

    -my two cents

  6. Re:Bill Gates promised ! on Spam Doubles, Finding New Ways to Deliver Itself · · Score: 1

    "Gates promised the end of spam by 2006, but they figure it's doubled in the last few months."

    I suppose 4012 is enough right?
