    I just did: "devel-su" => "rootme" => "dmesg | less" and it worked.

  2. Re:So, the headline ought to be on Anonymous Claims To Have Hacked Sony PSN Again · · Score: 2

    I hear headlines are better with a question mark. How about: "Has Sony's PSN been hacked again?"

  3. Re:Screw you, anonymous! on Anonymous Claims To Have Hacked Sony PSN Again · · Score: 1

    Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
    And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W
    Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Last night someone claiming to be a member of Anonymous posted what was alleged to be information obtained from 50GB of compromised PSN data, but it turned out the data was the same as that released last year when PSN was hacked. "We've confirmed that the recent claim that PlayStation Network was illegally hacked and that customer passwords and email addresses were accessed is completely false," assured Sony in a statement.

    Does it do this at the same time as saying "STALL STALL STALL STALL" ?

    Watch the SRI talk linked in the comments above. I'd hardly call 90 sigma "barely statistically significant".

  7. Re:Supernovas on OPERA Group Repeats Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Results · · Score: 1
    The supernova produced anti-neutrinos, not normal neutrinos.

    At 7:35 a.m. Universal time, Kamiokande II detected 11 antineutrinos, IMB 8 antineutrinos and Baksan 5 antineutrinos, in a burst lasting less than 13 seconds. Approximately three hours earlier, the Mont Blanc liquid scintillator detected a five-neutrino burst, but this is generally not believed to be associated with SN 1987A

    Other possible reasons for the discrepancy have been mentioned (energies, vacuum vs. crust, etc.). Have a look at the experimental results for the mass squared of a neutrino, in light of the OPERA results. Notice something?

    ... 2 bit encryption. There is only two keys. 1 and 0.

    Wouldn't that be 1-bit encryption?

  9. Re:Chrome OS? on Sony To Put Chrome On Laptops · · Score: 1

    Pretty easy to comprehend 10^6. A googol is of course 10^100, which is a lot harder since that is twenty orders of magnitude larger than the number of atoms in the observable universe.

  10. Re:Let's get this straight... on Sony To Put Chrome On Laptops · · Score: 1

    That's not a bug, its a feature - for a long time the bit the supplied "uninstaller" didn't uninstall was the same bit they relied on to stop users from getting new trial subscriptions by simply uninstalling and reinstalling (just some stuff sitting under %userprofile%\application data)

  11. Chrome is the new Emacs? on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Chrome is a nice operating system, but it could do with a decent web browser.

  12. My two favourites on Ridiculous Software Bug Workarounds? · · Score: 1

    1. Call of Duty 4 would crash in Vista with a certain on-board soundcard unless you plugged something into the microphone port (headphones would do).
    2. Visual Studio has this bug where occasionally Find in Files keeps returning zero results unless you press Ctrl-ScrollLock or Alt-ScrollLock (depending on which version of VS you have)

  14. Re:ha! on Is Ubuntu Getting Slower? · · Score: 1

    Heh, I put Ubuntu on my eee 900 but found the ~40 sec boot time way too slow for me :) Firefox would keep freezing and greying out which made it feel very bloaty.

    So I put Arch on and it boots in around 20. Firefox problems almost gone, a lot better than before. eduke3d runs better too, but still keep running out of RAM after playing for a bit though. :( Probably should stick it to those SSD lifetime naysayers and have some swap...

  15. Re:Fuel economy on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    I've gotten lazy with this. When I know a stop is coming up, I put the car in neutral and let it coast. After a while, my clutch leg starts to hurt, so it's easier this way. People may think I'm weird, but I do it up to a mile away. The car coasts really well, so I'm usually not going any slower than I should be anyways. :)

    Who modded this insightful? It's completely wrong - any car manufactured in at least the last 20 years will cut fuel if throttle is shut and the RPMs are high enough. By putting the clutch in, your RPMs will drop and fuel will have to be supplied to the engine to keep it idling. You'll actually be using more fuel!
