  1. Best of the new SF authors.. on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 1


    .. without a doubt: Hilary Rosen. She keeps coming up with new and wacky ideas about how to control bits.

  2. Posterboy on "DVD-Jon" Faces Retrial · · Score: 4, Interesting


    It seems like Norwegian authorities are trying to make Johansen a cybercrime posterboy as the US did to Mitnick.

  3. Now.. on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 2, Funny


    Now that you're out of jail, may I take the "Free Kevin" bumpersticker off my car?

  4. Re:Screw bluetooth... on Garmin Palm Device With GPS · · Score: 3, Funny


    32Mb is a lot for the average Palm device. Mine only has 8Mb and I've never got close to filling it.

    You obviously have a greyscale Palm. If it was colour that 8 MB would be stuffed with pr0n.

  5. Re:From the My-God-Will-Ya'll-Quit-Bitchin'-Dept on Second Hand Hard Discs Reveal Secrets · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry, you can't train a stupid dog by ignoring the shit on the floor, you have to use a rolled up newspaper on its ass and stick the dog's nose in the turd.

  10. Even if it is connectionless.. on Multi-vendor Game Server (GameSpy) DDoS Attack · · Score: 5, Informative

    .. it wouldn't be hard to put in some sort of verification to ensure the packets are getting to an appropriate destination. Witness NFS.

  11. Re:He did not awnser this on AMI Guy Talks About TCPA, Palladium, and Other BIOS Issues · · Score: 5, Informative


    What is the advantage to me, a Linux using consumer, to buying your product over those of your competitors?

    Actually he (sort of) answered your question. We, as end users, are not their actual customers. Their customers are the motherboard manufacturers, we don't buy a motherboard and then pick a BIOS. 'AMI markets AMIBIOS directly to the motherboard manufacturer, who we see as the actual "BIOS customer"'

    Further down he does mention testing with various Linux distros and FreeBSD.

  12. Other P2P on IFPI Employee Describes P2P Sabotage Activities · · Score: 1


    eDonkey and eMule (which uses the eDonkey network), both linked to from ZeroPaid use a hash of the file itself for indexing. You can change the file name but as long as the file itself doesn't change there is no problem. It's unlikely that you get junk on the eDonkey network as long as you're getting a file with many sources.

  13. From the article.. on Intel Delays Dual-Core Processor, Plans New Server Chip · · Score: 5, Funny
