  1. Bushveld complex on Global Warming May Have Killed the Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    The circular Bushveld Complex is even larger than any of those (50,000 sq km!), but it is so old, that no-one knows whether it was the world's largest volcano, or the world's largest asteroid impact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushveld

  2. Re:Due South on Canada Responsible for 50% of Movie Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a dog sled full of DVDs, eh.

    If you want to freak someone out, run tcpdump and click the check email button, in 99.999% of cases, they use plain text POP or IMAP and the username and password will pop right up: c:\> tcpdump -A -s 256 Then click the 'Get Mail' button on the email client - Outlook or whatever.

    Use tcpdump if you want to keep it simple, or wireshark if you like a GUI.

    If the PC is not supposed to be doing anything on the network, then there should not be any traffic - simple as that. Therefore, anything you see is suspect.

    Of course, MC likes to send crap on ports 135, 137, 138, 139 1nd 445, but you'll quickly weed those out. Everything else should be investigated.

  7. Not a law enforcement problem... on 25 Percent of All Computers in a Botnet? · · Score: 1

    This is a Microsoft problem. O'l Billy Bob has to fix the fscking mess he made.

  8. Re:Commonwealth? on Maine Rejects Federally Mandated ID Cards · · Score: 1

    No, no, according to the Hellen Mirren movie, it is "Bleep! bless Maine!".

  9. Calculators are only for school on The Best Graphing Calculator on the Market? · · Score: 1

    The last time I seriously used a calculator was at university, 25 years ago. You don't use them in real life...

  10. Re:You're being naive/optimistic on Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with Prez Bush's sense of diplomacy:
    "If you don't co-operate, there will be bombs coming in.
    You will be bombed back into the stone age..."

    Crude, but effective.

  11. Re:This is painfully obvious and hopelessly naive on Catching Spam by Looking at Traffic, Not Content · · Score: 1

    Exactly - you are only the second person I have encountered that knows how the spam industry really works!

  12. SpamAssassin already does that on Catching Spam by Looking at Traffic, Not Content · · Score: 1

    by looking at the mail headers.

  13. Re:Aren't these features widely available? on Enso Gives Keyboard Commands to Windows Users · · Score: 1

    Yup, use it all the time. The shortcut should be in the search path, start menu or desktop otherwise Windoze won't find it.

  14. Re:Scary.. on BBC To Host Multi-OS Debate · · Score: 1

    Yeah well - so why are you running Fedora Core 6? There are quite a few distributions out there that are easier to configure. Redhat is a server company, not a desktop company.

    I don't like trucks, because my Citroen C2V can only load two shopping bags, is high maintenance and spare are impossible to obtain...

    Come on, don't ruin a prefectly good defence contract by pointing out the obvious flaws...

  16. Mice or Men? on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 1

    Mice, experimented upon, will develop cancer. So this device will probably not be too good to our furry friends, but I doubt that it will cause the same effect in overgrown monkees.

  17. Black Ice? Super Glue... on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 1

    Spraying ice (or Monkey Snot) on a road won't stop a vehicle. Super Glue will...

    Uhhh, soooo, every 50 million years or so, the Himalayas appear or disappear?

  19. SUV Caused on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nope, it is caused by Suburbans, HMVs and Expeditions. Obviously even the dinosaurs had SUVs - the ice ages prove it.

  20. Re:About fast charging... on The Replacement For the Battery? · · Score: 1

    All you need is another capacitor at home. It can take the whole day to charge up, then get dumped into the car.

  21. Wine? on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many of those are Wine on Linux?

  25. Re:Serves that satellite right on India Brings Back Orbiting Satellite to Earth · · Score: 5, Informative

    In India they speak English, which is not exactly the same as American. To Indians, India is 'home' and they may even have a government department known as the 'Home Office' or even a minister of 'Home Affairs' - that is the English tradition anyway. Therefore, on a grand scale, 'home built', simply means 'Made in India'.
