Who gives a damn? If it's good for the customers, it doesn't matter whether they were motivated by money, politics, ethics, aliens, or the FSM and his noodly appendage.
I couldn't really justify buying this... I could get a much more efficient emoticon keys with some simple macros, and never moving my hands from my proper keyboard.
IIRC, something like that has happened before. The attacker managed to get RDP access to one of Microsoft's servers where they keep source code. However, when authorities were able to trace the connection back to his house, they entered to find he had died of a simultaneous heart attack, aneurysm, and stroke, with the Windows kernel source code open on his screen.
I wish I had a botnet, just to make several thousand IPs visit the site. It wouldn't take long for them to catch onto the fact that it's a botnet, then they wouldn't be able to tell who the humans are.
In the meantime, I'm going to plug their article links into some cheap PPC sites. That should keep them busy.
Speaking of which, why can't we just make a malaria-proof human?
Well, for starters, there are currently over 6 billion non-malaria-proof humans on the planet, and I don't think most of them would consider giving up their right to children just so that a genetically engineered next generation of humans can be malaria-proof.
But if we can make these mosquitoes breed enough and take over the malaria vulnerable mosquito population, we can take a chunk out of the percentage of malaria spread to these humans and their children

Who said it's humans seeding?
If it were me, I would make a fake program that would seed itself. More seeds, more downloads, more seeds... Notice the pattern?
Obviously, these screws are more stylish than conformist Phillips screws.

And NS/. is a set as well. It is defined as the set of /.ers that do not understand sarcasm. I believe you have just proven that it is not empty.

Actually, I think that's kind of cool. That's another 1k going to charities/devs that wouldn't have been there.
Good to see a business actually using some common sense on piracy. And now look. They get even free ad on /.

I recall some instructions on creating "anti-paparazzi" glasses that blind cameras with infrared light.
Next time I got to a movie theater, I'm going to be wearing a shirt with more infrared LEDs than there are seats in the theater.

Maybe I'm naive, but once quantum computing becomes viable, won't these cryptocoins be worthless?
