  1. As I read the article... on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just kept thinking "Enders Game" !!!

  2. Re:Home of the brave... on Patriot Act to be Expanded · · Score: 1

    You just have to love a beer named "The Arrogant Bastard Ale". IPA is pretty decent too.

  3. akihabara on Tokyo's Geek Ghetto · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My favorite memory of strolling through akihabara was going through a maze of electronics vendor stalls and coming across a guy selling nothing but big red buttons. If you stick to the normal shops, its pretty much many many people selling the exact same stuff. If you explore a little, you'll start finding the more offbeat tinkerer type stuff.

  4. Re:Team ENSCO! on DARPA Announces 2005 Grand Challenge Semifinalists · · Score: 1

    I went with some co-workers to watch team axion qualify near UCSD. Except for a bump with a trash can, it did pretty damn good. The driving control is much more rough than a human driver ever would, but I think they can pull it off.

  5. Re:Custom interactive fiction on Keep Fit Program For The Brain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    yeah sure. just ask ender wiggin how much he liked playing that game.

  6. Re:what about GOOG on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    sounds like a nice little project using the google API

  7. Re:16GB? on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 1

    1/18th?

    What are you on dialup or something?

  8. Re:I.e., enforcing conformity on Star Wars Premier: The Line People · · Score: 1

    you actually hang out with real people at a pub

    the pub example is oh so amazingly lame. pretty sad when you have to go some place and get drunk so that you can interact with other human beings. can these people not do it sober?

    you're outside working on a car vs. inside staring at a monitor

    come now... i can be incredibly productive sitting in front of a monitor... i just choose not to most of the time =)

  9. Re:do they believe it themselves? on Cisco Confirms Arrest In Theft Of Its Code · · Score: 1

    now Crashoveride and the others can hack the gibson and stop Plague from unleashing the Da Vinci virus!

    I can't wait to see some more of AcidBurn's clevage!!!

  10. Re:Timing.. on More on Last Year's Cisco Source Code Theft · · Score: 1

    You think that you're different or somehow special because you're not hooked directly to the idiot box? You may be thinking "At least I don't see the commericals"... but as you so aptly pointed out... the entire show is a fucking commercial.

  11. Re:Interesting article in IEEE spectrum on What Does a Spreading Worm Look Like? · · Score: 1

    beyond lame. they even try to rename honeynets to "Billy Goats". Also, once worms get a little wiser about their propagation schemes, this thing is history.

  12. Re:he's being quite modest about it on RMS Weighs in on BitKeeper Debacle · · Score: 1

    its truly amazing. this so explains emacs.

  13. wired on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 1

    This was already mentioned almost as an aside in the current issue of wired. I guess they let the cat out of the bag a little early.

  14. Re:Metal Gear! on Homemade Mecha Walks in Japan · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure scaling it up is the problem.

  15. Re:Words words words.. on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    make that ... braking.

  16. Re:Words words words.. on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    breaking energy should be stored in fly wheels, not given back to the battery. in most cases (stop and go) the energy will be used again in a very short time anyway.

  17. Re:so sad on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    nope. nor is it my job to do so. i'm just stating an opinion, which you are free to validate, disagree with, or ignore. being more familiar with the maxtor RMA process than anyone else i know makes me feel capable of making such statements. every time i get suckered in by their lower prices, i have had to re-learn this lesson.

  18. Re:here's a tip on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 2, Funny

    yeah seriously, there was no mention of static damage. i thought it was going to start w/ l33t people build systems n4k3d.

  19. so sad on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 4, Funny

    He lost me at "I like Maxtor". Anyone who recommends maxtor hdds is either on the take, or hasn't been building systems for very long. Either case... I'd pass a bestbuy job application his way.

  20. Re:Warez too! on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 1

    it was my understanding that sloccount used a now depreciated means of calculating value.

  21. Re:Selling some sort of hardened Linux, perhaps? on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

    They will reveal things like buffer overflows, memory leaks, pointer problems, malformed expression problems, etc.

    These are all currently found using tools like lint / splint which in the case of splint, is FREE (as in NOT the 100-200k cost range pal). Vulnerabilities still exist. These tools have been around for some time. Automated analysis isn't a magic bullet. Its about good coding practices and comprehension of the system you're running your code on.

  22. Re:GP board PC on Apple I Replica Creation · · Score: 2, Funny

    i'm sorry. i didn't recall applying to be your research assistant. how much does that pay again?

  23. Re:GP board PC on Apple I Replica Creation · · Score: 1

    interesting idea... but rather than do AGP... why not PCI Express? though a quick google shows that this is already been though of.

  24. Re:An Opportunity to Rant. on Delayed Password Disclosure · · Score: 1

    this can also be accomplished w/ virtual CC numbers.

  25. Re:GTA on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    yeah i can remember driving to school the next day after hours of GTA, pulling up next to a nice car and thinking, "oh I should trade up".
