  1. Re:Has common sense become less common? on Report Security Problems, Face The Consequences · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But this guy didn't even do this.

    What he did was walk by the house and see the front door hanging open when no one was obviously home. He then walked up to the front door and saw that sure enough the door was open. He never went inside. So he came back the next day and said heh, your front door is open.

    No one in their right minds would arrest a guy for that.

  2. Wire Fraud on Report Security Problems, Face The Consequences · · Score: 1

    "yet the prosecutor claims that if he doesn't get convicted under Title 18 Section 1030 of the USC, then the prosecutor would try for wire fraud."

    What? Huh? First off he the prosecutor goes for Title 18 Sect 1030 and doesn't get a conviction, he can't just go after him again for wire fraud instead. Double Jeapordy.

    Also, I guess it doesn't say, but what about the cheif who recorded the convo over the phone. How legal is that in Oklahoma? Anyone? I know in some states its 100% illegal and in others there are loops to jump through.

    Last time I looked it said in his bio page that he was a gay

  4. Re:Did Katz just subscribe to some LOTD service? on Seanbaby.com · · Score: 1

    This is trollish and slightly flamable ... What? Seanbaby is fricken retarded. Okay, so much of my angst comes from the fact that I find him completely f*cked up and that he has the same name as me. I really do not like that. I go to class one day and some chick asks me if I run the Seanbaby.com site thinking I am all cool like that - but no! I couldn't even capatalize on that since he is gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). Then all my friends start calling me seanbaby. Wth. SCREW THAT. Sean is a great name, nothing wrong with it - ie. Sean Conary - but then this SOB comes along. Really, its the Micheal Bolton complex. }:P~

  5. Isn't it kind of sad? on Kohan for Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    (This may have troll written all over it ...) Here is a game that the editor had never heard of, a game a majority of us have never heard of, but OOOH - It is comming out for Linux so it gets a news post. Is the software situation for Linux so desperate that whenever a new file manager, game, browser, etc. comes out that it needs attention?

    I guess my own counter argument is that there are sites like shacknews.com etc that cover all gaming news and any game that comes out it gets a news post. Also, so BFD if something gets a post, Right?

    Oh Well.

  9. Re:See how we feel on Federal Judges Take a Stance Against Workplace Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Quite often judges are put in the possistion where 'morally' or 'justifiably' they want to rule with the downtrodden, the little guy, the underdog, the just one - etc. However, what they want to do is not always the lawful thing to do. Justice is not always lawful. How fucked up is that?

    Ah but you are using THEIR bandwidth and THEIR time (THEY are PAYING you to be there to do whatever it is you do - NOT to download ISOs and not to listen to music. If your boss says okay - then its okay. If you did not ask or especially if he or 'someone in corporate' said no - then youre not suposed to do it - EVEN IF *YOU* THINK IT IS OKAY Im starting to see a weird patern in /.'s that just do what they think is right - IE writing an anti code red worm that nukes the partition 'because if they didnt patch it - they deserve it'.

    Yey! Aug 6th! Happy Birfday to me! I hope my birthday bad-luck does not rub off on this. Jeez. That would suck. Yea, totally off topic but its my birfday! Also don't forget the first atomic bomb was dropped on Aug 6th!

    Shucks - and I thought this could be used to actually rid us of this worm... but I like the idea of fun stuff too }:P

    In this analysis: "We've designated this the .ida "Code Red" worm, because part of the worm is designed to deface web pages with the text "Hacked by Chinese" and also because code red mountain dew was the only thing that kept us awake all last night to be able to disassemble this exploit even further."

    And of course there is This!

  15. The first video game on Arcade Games Officially Over The Hill · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly the first video game was at some family gtg way back when. Some guy used an oscilliscope? to make a 'tenis' game. Anyone have more info. Saw this on History Chan a bit back.

  16. Re:The problems I saw with the movie (small spoila on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 2

    They are on pre mamal earth. Ny crashing they destroyed our history. The humans you see are a mix of 1st humans and survivors (thus enlish) & thats why at the end when he lans @ earth its Apes. MUAHAHA

  17. Rushhour 2 and stuff that is on topic on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 3

    That is Aug. 3rd. That is your other chance for a good movie, btw. Imdb's RH2 Stuff. Just my $.02. Oh - POTA. I was really expecting total crap. I had read the Salon review that bashes it for a paragraph and then goes on to tell the history of the Apes series. I can not find that review. Oh well. Anyways, I also read the CNN review that bashed it all to hell. I thought the story was good enough to keep my attention for 2 hours, but had it got 2hrs, 2minutes - I woulda died. It really pushed to the end and quit. That to me is a good characteristic in movies. All and all - was worth the $5 student discount ticket.

  18. I know her on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    I dated a girl in Highschool named Arin. She was a real bitch tho. Always telling me what I could and could not do. Touch this, don't touch that. Etc.

  19. Re:solution: don't use outlook on Another Nasty Outlook Virus Strikes · · Score: 1

    Actually - Try Outlook XP if you must outlook and are stupid enough to become infected. If anything (sadly including palm syncs) trys to access Outlook - it gives you a delayed pop up asking if it is all good.

    The given URL seems to be dead ... Mirrors anyone?

  21. This is nothing - Maxim figured it out a while ago on Solving the Great Shower Curtain Mystery · · Score: 1

    Well I just read this in the Maxim Online archives. Basically the hot air causes an air flow up out of the top which causes a sucking effect that attacks you. Basically, if your curtain decides to get 'too close' - I say just go with it man. Just go with it.

  22. What lawyers want on Aussie Bill Would Ban Hacking Tools, Virus Code · · Score: 1

    Lawyers are interested in the same thing now they were hundreds of years ago. No, its not control and no its not fame, glory, etc. Its MONEY, aka Moolah (etc). Lawyers are proffesional whores and it is their job to beleive what you pay them to beleive. Granted they have fancy terms for that fact, but flat fact is flat fact.

  23. When will these people learn? on Barney vs. Right to Satire · · Score: 1

    It seems like every DAY Copyright and Trademarks not only become more and more confused, but what you can do with them even more so becomes limited. Trademarks can be used in parody, satire, etc. and can even be Copyrighted. See: Andy Worhol. If these web sites really feel they need to cover their ass, which they dont - they are covered by law - they simply need to put a small disclaimer saying who holds the original TM and Copyright.

    I do love this quote tho. "Instead of being an ambulance-chaser, you can be a trademark-infringement chaser," says Brendan Kehoe, the 30-year-old editor of the hacker-lore section of etext.org.

  24. Re:In reality on Prying Eyes of Tampa Police · · Score: 2

    I know it is a very cheap move to post under an early post for most people that read threads etc. I appologize. Here in Wichita, KS they are talking of putting up the 'red-light' cameras that will bust you for running a yellow. (Also worthy of note, many cities that have these have also shortened the length of the yellow lights so as to get more people. This makes intersections w/ a highway that need a long yellow dangerous.) I and a few of my associates have agreeded that if these cameras do go up that there will be a wire to them that can and will be cut at night. I refuse to be spied on. If that is not enough, a BB Gun or somesort will take care of the camera.
