  1. Magic Carpet on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    without a doubt; in my opinion that's one of best games ever. I wonder why there weren't any more games like that, probably too complex for true 3D?

  2. Re:What article? on Revisiting the Five-Minute Rule · · Score: 1

    SSD's simply replace hard drives.

    no they don't, show me SSD that can replace 1Tb HDD.

  3. Re:2^119 is... on New AES Attack Documented · · Score: 1

    but if you're lucky and pick the right key at first try, it would be solved almost instantly..

  4. Re:FURIAA on RIAA Victory Over Usenet.com In Copyright Case · · Score: 1

    but, AFAIK, the 'founders of tcpip' don't get any subscription money out of someone pirating songs..

  5. Re:The answer is obvious on Steorn's "Free Energy" Jury Comes Back To Bite Them · · Score: 1

    but they are 'lobbying' for it already, piles of money have been spent at LHC..

  6. Re:Now I know what NASA stands for... on NASA Sticking To Imperial Units For Shuttle Replacement · · Score: 1

    not redesigned, just tweaked a bit. wouldn't modern super computers be able to do the job better than those '70 designs? they might do some simulations and even suggest changes.. the parts are probably also custom made by some robot, so the 'strange' dimensions aren't such a big problem. it seems to me that people are just trying to find excuses for sticking with their habits.

  7. Re:Correction on The Birth and Battle of Conficker · · Score: 1

    so, tell me, when your boss enters the airplane, does he demand the right to fly the plane? After all, its probably his personal jet and he is the most important person in it. Why should he trust some pilot with his life?

  8. Re:Will it.. on Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript · · Score: 4, Informative

    its easy to tell, with that nickname of yours.. :)

  9. Re:Correction on The Birth and Battle of Conficker · · Score: 1

    aha, but, if Velma doesn't care about security and doesn't understand computers, than she won't need executable scripts in email attachments. she can't have it both ways. it should be trivial to block all unsafe files in attachments (or always run them in some sandbox), and linux can do it better because it recognizes files by headers and not just the extensions..

  10. Re:Correction on The Birth and Battle of Conficker · · Score: 1

    "perl conficker" aha, but thanks to 'wonderful' Linux system, that would end with an error requesting some dependency or special kernel version or even other distro.. seriously, the average Linux user would stick to known repositories, its easier.. for anything not there, he'd use wine or virtualbox..

  11. simple solution.. on Default Passwords Blamed In $55M PBX Hacks · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..make all default passwords hard to guess!

  12. yeah, right.. 9/11 on Computers Key To Air France Crash · · Score: 1

    if Americans hadn't used Boeing planes, the 9/11 disaster would never have happened. Because the computers in Airbus would prevent such "human_being's/battle-tested_pilot ingenuity"

  13. Re:They don't care on What a Hacked PC Can Be Used For · · Score: 1

    sure, but do you want to spend your whole life securing the computer, polishing the car and always driving under the limit? we are all going to die some day anyway.

  14. Re:Rampant Sexism on The In-House Decency Patrol At Facebook · · Score: 5, Funny

    aww, how cute, baby learned to type already..

  15. Re:Pardon me... on Windows 7's Virtual XP Mode a Support Nightmare? · · Score: 1

    I hate this. running in virtual machine means it would take much more RAM and other resources. and also slower start.

  16. ISPs on Botnet Expert Wants 'Special Ops' Security Teams · · Score: 3, Interesting

    they need cooperation of ISPs. If only ISPs worldwide would at least send warning to customers that run 'zombie machines'.

  17. Re:Sigh on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    it works to great extent, because there is a HUGE repository of 'clean' software, that can be easily installed (at least on Debian and similar) in Linux people don't need cracks, keygens.. etc

  18. Re:...uneducated Mac fanboyism... on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    that's why you: -first read all torrent comments and see if someone has labeled it as infected -wait a week or two and scan with various AV software or use http://www.virustotal.com/ and http://virusscan.jotti.org/ (let suckers train the AV software) -always look first for serials, and (as mentioned) get demo from official site. keygens are easier to scan than whole program, because of size. -run in sandbox or something.

  19. A Clockwork Orange (1971) on South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein · · Score: 1

    it reminds me of that fantastic movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/

  20. Re:sweet on Diagnose Conficker With Web-Based Eye Chart · · Score: 1

    I think it should work with proxies because Conficker blocks DNS lookup.

  21. or other way.. on Taming Conficker, the Easy Way · · Score: 5, Interesting

    you could tell all people to try and open this web page: http://www.clamav.net/ or ping it. (also many other security sites, see list here http://mtc.sri.com/Conficker/addendumC/index.html#dns-prevention ) If they can't then ConfickerC is probably blocking them. I'm not sure this would work for cached domains, though.
