  1. Sniffing user names and passwords for charity on How to Convince Non-IT Friends that Privacy Matters? · · Score: 1

    Easy, sniff their user names and passwords, then transfer some of their hard earned cash to a charity...

  2. Re:software compatability? on Dell Set to Introduce AMD's Triple-core Phenom CPU · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That may well be true with DOS or Windows ME, but certainly not with any version of Unix.

  3. Dell is dropping 25% of AMD on Dell Set to Introduce AMD's Triple-core Phenom CPU · · Score: 2, Funny

    With one dead core dropped per processor, that would explain the rumours.

  4. Re:You can run Linux on 2Mb of flash on Multifunction Printers — The Forgotten Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    Every network printer I have ever tried, sports a FTP server. This is handy when all else fails - FTP a postscript file to the damn printer and la voila! Of course, this can be exploited with a denial of service continuous print loop in postscript.

  5. Lasers? on US Military Seeks Hypersonic Weaponry · · Score: 2, Informative

    Laser weapons are faster than mach 6 for sure.

  6. Click Monkeys on 6% of Web Users Generate 50% of Ad Clicks · · Score: 1

    Here they are: http://www.clickmonkeys.com/aboutus.shtml and just like real monkeys, these monkeys can't spell either...

  7. A Pedophile Expert on Internet "Creates Pedophiles" According to "Expert" · · Score: 1

    or an Expert Pedophile? I can't help but wonder about the credentials of this expert. Maybe he is an ex Catholic Priest and therefore an expert on sexual aberrations.

  8. Re:Here we go again... on SP1 Unsuccessful in Preventing Vista Hacks · · Score: 1

    Yup, been doing that for decades with DRM programs. Ever since Leasure Suit Larry, Lotus 123 and Dbase III. Yeah, I'm that old...

  9. Real has all the information already on Security Research and Blackmail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Real has the source code. They don't need to pay anybody else to find the bug, they can do their own code review.

  10. Re:The Rain (poem) on Energy From Raindrops · · Score: 1

    Hmm, that sounds like the town I grew up in, which had an annual rainfall of 1000 mm.

  11. Re:Circular Backups on Making Use of Terabytes of Unused Storage · · Score: 1

    rsync on Cygwin.

  12. Re:So... on Comcast's New Terms of Service Disclose Traffic Management · · Score: 1

    You can sign up with IMARSAT.

  13. So who signed the new contracts? on Comcast's New Terms of Service Disclose Traffic Management · · Score: 1

    Did all their existing customers sign the new contracts?

  14. Mind blowing 5.7MB/s file copy speed on PC World Tests Final Version of Vista SP1 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wow man and that earth shattering file copy speed was on a 3GHz dual core machine - 1000 machine cycles for each byte transferred. Does MS realize that modern tape drives have a MINIMUM speed of 32MB/s? LTO-3 tapes don't go any slower. So will MS be selling paper tape backup systems or do we need punch cards? Just thinking of what they must be doing wrong to make Vista this slow, makes my head hurt.

  15. Blond matter on Galaxy Sans Dark Matter · · Score: 2, Funny

    'Let's see if "dark matter" is "more dense"' I dunno, usually blond matter is more dense...

  16. Re:Pick Three on Best Laptop for Going Around the World? · · Score: 1

    Asus Eee PC. Undestroyable, cheap and light weight.

  17. Re:100 million copies? on Microsoft Responds to 'Save XP' Petition · · Score: 1

    and if any one is still running Vista, show him Linux with Compiz and then he'll go and buy a Mac...

  18. Re:what about small businesses! on Microsoft Responds to 'Save XP' Petition · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, Mandriva Linux 2008.1 with a full blown KDE runs just fine on my 500MHz Asus Eee PC. That Celeron would be a screamer.

  19. Must be Global Cooling on Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously the cables are shrinking and snapping off...

  20. Sopwith Camel on EFF Attacks Online Gaming Patent · · Score: 1

    Even the little DOS game Sopwith Camel by David Clark, was network capable (1986):
    http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/127

    This little game still works!

  21. Cugals... on Online Parent-Child Gap Widens · · Score: 2, Funny

    In Israel, if a girl working at a check-out counter thinks you are hot, then she'll write her phone number on the cash register slip. So does a check-out line count as an on-line encounter?

  22. Re:Whoa I agree with Torvalds on Torvalds Says Microsoft is Bluffing on Patents · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I'm running Windows 2003 virtual machines for a couple of small companies on my Linux servers. The users use their off the shelf Windows XP laptops to connect and do all their work on the server through RDP. It is more convenient for them, since it allows them to move around the city - they can run their apps from home, from a client's conference room or from their own offices and the management and nursing of the Windows VMs is done at my place.

    Effectively it is the 1980s all over again.

  23. Not only stupid - Very Dangerous on US Pulls Plug on Low-CO2 Powerplant Project · · Score: 1

    If the gas would escape due to an accident or earth quake, lots of people can be killed.

  24. TV in a forest on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    If a large TV set is blaring the Superbowl in a forest, with no-one around to watch it - is it violating copyright?

  25. Re:Good luck with that, NFL on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    No, the Churches never had hat freedom - nothing is taken away by enforcing a very old law. Agricultural shows and municipal fetes usually have exemption from copyright performance laws, but not churches, not in any country I have lived in.

    So, god just has to pay up like everybody else. There are no exemptions for imaginary super beings.
