  1. Presentation Slides on Aussie Researchers Crack Transport Crypto, Get Free Rides · · Score: 5, Informative

    Can be found here.

  2. Re:Best SSID on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I use "WPA2-PSK so don't even bother"
    Interestingly, the Netgear at my parent's place allows the ' in the SSID but my Billion doesn't.

  3. Re:all this data yet so much gets missed on Managing Last.FM's "Mountain of Data" · · Score: 1

    soundamus already does this (albeit in the form of an RSS feed as opposed to an email)

    I have sometimes wondered why record companies haven't tried to subpoena Last.FM logs when people scrobble a leaked (and therefore pretty much guaranteed to be pirated) song. Seems stupid enough for the RIAA to do.

  4. Re:More free, legal TV online on South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal · · Score: 1

    I don't have any problems with the spike/ifilm versions.

    Colbert
    The Daily Show

  5. Re:Why not follow the path of Wikiquote? on Should Wikipedia Allow Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't they also use Wikisource?
    "Wikisource collects and stores in digital format previously published texts; including novels, non-fiction works, letters, speeches, constitutional and historical documents, laws and a range of other documents."

  6. Re:Because content size scales with storage capaci on Why Do Games Still Have Levels? · · Score: 1

    One of the article's examples is wrong too as Half-Life (the first one) definitely had loading screens (although when you run it on today's hardware it's barely noticeable).

  7. Re:SMD vs GPS on GPS Used As Defence In Radar Speeding Case · · Score: 1

    most receivers are smart enough to exclude multi-path errors (assuming of course that not *all* of your signals are via multi-path)

  8. Re:Yes on MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems · · Score: 1

    Just a wild guess, but I'm guessing: His English > Your Swedish

  9. Re:Daily Show on NZ MPs Outlaw Satire of Parliament · · Score: 2, Informative

    He actually covered it yesterday

  10. Re:Digg management are full of hypocrites on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    Actually, Kevin Rose has clarified their position

    But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you've made it clear. You'd rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won't delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.

    If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.

  11. Re:Good book, big ego on Monkey Business and Freakonomics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I enjoyed the first freakanomics, but they guy does seem to have a big head... each chapter starts with some quote by somebody else about how great the author is.

    it does? In my "Revised and Expanded Edition" there's nothing of the sort.

    Also, their blog (which was linked in TFA, but who reads TFA) is well worth a read if you enjoyed the book (or even if you haven't read it).

  12. Re:Gaming, no on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    The only higher World Wide (at least so far) was the Port Arthur Massacre with 35 deaths who used an AR-10 rifle.

    Which prompted a tightening of gun laws here (Australia), although handgun laws weren't focused on until 2002 when a student at Monash uni opened fire with multiple handguns.
