Because it's new, and finding someone who's done it to get some pointers is really hard. CUDA has been around a while, figuring it out isn't such a rough learning curve.
On the downside, you're stuck with NVidia GPUs forever (or until they decide to drop CUDA, although I'll admit that's unlikely).
Yep the moment he put a custom SQL statement into that URL bar to confirm his suspicions he became a criminal. This is how much legal experts understand about computers. The same guys who put Kevin Mitnick in solitary because some moron lawyer said he'd start nuclear armageddon if given access to a phone.
That's assuming you haven't done anything which could be construed as actually testing or exploiting the hole.
He has, otherwise he wouldn't know it existed. That's what people using the "looking vs. touching" argument don't get: With computers looking and touching are one and the same. To put it another way, imagine a world where everyone sees using sonar, like bats. To look requires active probing, there's no way to passively take in the information.
Similarly, a computer cannot conduct its business if people all over the internet are trying to crack your computer and are legally free to do so, free of ramifications. It would be chaos.
You're obviously not a sysadmin, you might be a lawyer. All servers are assaulted with break-in attempts all day long, from connections that effectively free the attacker from ramifications. There is no chaos. If the system is kept reasonably secure so that the attempts don't succeed, it works fine.
3140? Haha that's pretty lame. I got more than that on a pastebin URL I had in my sig for a couple of weeks. Still I can see why you keep going, considering some of the lulzy responses, although there's a good amount of pity mixed in there these days.
Seriously though, you're a one-trick pony, the Microsoft of trolling. Try to mix it up. You're boring the grizzled veterans on here.
Still doesn't elude my filter. See, I was thinking ahead when I designed that. He'll either have to quit trolling or get off his lazy ass and put some effort into trolling us.
You can make your own for cheap, you just need to hook up a few resistors in the right places to fool the iPhone into thinking it's an official Apple iToad cable.
That was my first thought - are privacy and commercial success mutually exclusive for mobile devices? It seems that once a mobile OS is adopted by a large market the sleazebags move in to load it up with shovelware that siphons off your personal data (in the case of Android, that includes the carriers and even the manufacturers). Meanwhile the geek-oriented OSes (custom Android builds, Maemo/MeeGo, Ubuntu Mobile, etc) running open-source apps with funny names exist happily with no problems.
I can't find any lists of such models, but that's almost what this discussion is - a list of high-spec consumer routers that can accept custom firmware. I know that the boxes of many such models advertise this capability. Scroll through and look at the suggestions.
I'd prefer wired or optical wherever possible. Wireless could be OK for some things, like implant status monitoring or emergency diagnostics / manual override (using strong authentication of course). For something important like linking a prosthetic limb to your spine? Bad idea, too easy to jam, and the completely unnecessary potential for black hats to impersonate the control signal is not a good thing.

(maybe that should be Slashdot's new slogan)
Even that may be a generous estimate...

You just have to find the "discount window." It's probably out back near the loading bays.
What the hell are you doing on Slashdot?
Your permanent geek card revocation hearing will be held at the end of next week's meeting.
Set up a meeting with those in charge and explain it in person, nicely.
This is where the feds will be waiting to arrest him. If this moron company has smart lawyers there's no reason it can't happen.

That would be a good plan if it was done anonymously, but he's already made traceable contact with them on the issue.
This is closer to (perhaps beyond) the GP's idea:

Oh god someone modded this informative. IT'S GOATSE, GENIUSES.

Interesting, has an ending that really makes you think...
If user = dev### or href=boredgeek.evenweb.com then page=goatse
Add that to your brain's page filter script everyone.
For those of you who live under a rock, that's goatse. *Yawn*
Come on dude try something new. You're boring us.

Couldn't 5-10 trillion afford a mass switch to solar/wind? And that's based on well-established technology rather than theoretical physics.
Imagine the potential for porn overload when pages can be fetched by mere thought...
And trolls will just have to tell you "remember the last time you saw goatse?"
