When Spears began to doubt the scam, she got letters from the President of Nigeria, FBI Director Mueller, and President Bush. Terrorists could get the money if she did not help, Bushâ(TM)s letter said. Spears continued to send funds. All the letters were fake, of course.
My point is that it's a waste of time, effort and money getting a 21 year old kid over to the states to arrest him.
Valve should have better spent that money on securing their networks, however that's what happens when you're an "all microsoft shop" as ex-microsoft employee Gabe is.
After finishing the article they didn't get him anyway, they failed. He's still not in prison to this day so I'm finding the whole article kinda pointless.
The title should have been "Half Life 2 hacker gets away with it", but that's what happens when timothy posts a story.. : /
I'm not arguging with your point, however let me get this right..
The damage is already been done, the source code is useless anyway as any company found using it would have been breaking the law. However, they thought it was wise to waste money getting this guy over to the US so they could spend more money on him for a trial, lawyer and place to live?
Way to waste the tax payers money, not that it matters at this point. I guess Gabe feels better now that he got his own back after being the idiot that let him steal the code in the first place.
I'm not arguing with you, however you got to see the irony here, especially when people complain endlessly about their Foxconn motherboard not working for therefore linux sucks.
3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
He's obviously talking about judgement day, not the 7 days in which god created the world.
You're fucking doing what those ID assholes do, literally interpreting the bible, gtfo!
Albert Einstein isn't the pope, I know that's difficult for you to believe with your religious perspective on life, however scientists don't blindly follow other scientists.
Even brilliant people like Einstein can be full of shit.
Not when you hardwire them into the motherboard though. That's just lame, enjoy your new motherboard which starts to break after core windows updates.. nvidia drivers and vista anyone?

Interesting however the book publisher doesn't have the ability to burn the book if you sell it anywhere else.
Steam however disabled accounts of people who bought Half-Life 2 from Thailand, making it impossible to play unless those people bought another more expensive copy in their own country.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing they did this however you should be aware of the kind of control that steam has over your property (it's not in fact your property, you're just licensing it)
You say that consoles kick a PC's ass then go on to describe how you attach a keyboard and mouse, therefore turning your console into a pc and "frag all the noobs".
Slashdot Mirror
Lets assume the scam was real and she would have got the money.
She's breaking the law! Money laundering from Nigeria on the promise of million of dollars? and she's a reverend for the church!
Doesn't anyone see what is wrong with this or is everyone's moral compass broken?!
Perhaps he still doesn't know.
ok, lets pretend it wasn't a scam and she would have really ended up with 10 million.
Please tell me what part of her helping them illegally launder money is honest?
It's pure greed, she knew it was illegal, she knew it wasn't honest but she did it anyway because $_$ ching ching! 10 MILLION US DOLLARS
From the article..
Then we sell the list to Nigeria?
That's a brilliant idea, I vote Spy der Mann president of slashdot. I hope his 4 year run will do good things for us all.

You're taking it out of context.. look at 3.7..

Exactly, the joke is that you need to reboot in the first place.
I also don't buy the "accumulate garbage" just by using it, excuse as to why you shouldn't keep the OS running.
I've heard some dumb things other the years as to why people reboot such as "giving the computer a rest" or "makes it run faster".
If the OS runs slower just because you leave it running idle then you got yourself a shit OS.
sounds like hardware hacks to me, designed for windows vista (tm).
Not when you hardwire them into the motherboard though. That's just lame, enjoy your new motherboard which starts to break after core windows updates.. nvidia drivers and vista anyone?

Nothing is ever a bug on windows, however as soon as firefox crashes on ubuntu.. "OMG linux is the suxors!!"
lol once a week, enjoy your updates wintard.

Interesting, because I am about to go to my university to search for research papers, I shall have to give this a go.
I don't know about you guys but I prefer not to have to sign up or use the "pro" version for my web searching needs.
In fact why do I have to sign up to web search anything?
Besides this thing looks like it just gets in your way.
Thanks, but it's not a google killer.
Ignorant bullshit. I've had my hardware for almost 6 years and I've been enjoying fallout 3 without a single problem.
How can you not see the big ass drop are you blind?!
Not true at all.. Look at EA's stock since the DRM lawsuits and spore came out.. It's completely plummeted to the ground..
