  1. Re:The actual process is... on X-Force Changes Vulnerability Disclosure Policy · · Score: 1

    Wrong sequence of events, buddy!

    2600 only prints exploits like "How to social engineer your way to admin on a Win95 box" or "Brute Forcing the intercom at Hardees with a Red Box."

  2. Re:I'm glad I don't use a blog on Blogger Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, I'm sure the braintrust that makes up the majority to bloggers will hop all over PGP.

  3. Re:Up do date on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's good to see them stepping boldy into August of 2001 I like to have a nice 1-year buffer between me and all this durned cuttin' edge software.

  4. Re:Verizon is not protecting a little man on Report From RIAA v. Verizon Case · · Score: 1

    Subpoenas aren't necessarily "you know, court-issued." I've seen subpoenas from law enforcement officers as well as lawyers for private parties.

    I believe you're thinking of court orders.

  5. Re:Why... on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2

    It's +ACM-2 because of it's prevalance. There's a helluva lot of +ACo-nix boxen running Apache out there - while many may be patched up - a lot aren't.

    Everything below it (except maybe SSH - they should be tied for second, IMO) is either relatively uncommon or an old old old vulnerability.

    Apache on Unix isn't +ACM-2 because it's bug-riddled doom-ware - it's because it's +ACo-comparitively+ACo- bad.

    I'd take it as a mark of honor that the Unix world's second biggest vulnerability isn't that big of a vulnerability after all. ;)

  6. Re:The number one vulnerability for Windows boxen on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2

    I think every user having the equivalent of "root" by default is probably far worse.

  7. Well, there's always... on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 5, Informative

    Easybuy.

    For now, at least.

    Note: I have no affiliation with LikSang, or EasyBuy - they're just pretty similar. LikSang had a larger variety of video-game oriented products, but EasyBuy has most of the more popular modchips as well.

    GBA-X apparently does not have a web page as far as I can tell. Some screenshots are available here, though.

    And, my personal favorite...

    Final Burn

    Also, CXBX looks like a pretty interesting. It's attempting to run Xbox software on a compatible PC. From the page:

    "the process of converting an xbox executable (.xbe) to a windows "portable executable" (PE, [.exe]) has been a success. despite rumors floating around, .xbe -> .exe converstion is entirely possible, and is already being done. the problem is that a lot of work is necessary to fullfill the environmental expectations of an xbox executable. most importantly, kernel exports and certain hardware are expected, and must be emulated. the kernel emulation will be done by wrapping around existing win32 api. this is explained in the progress section."

  9. Re:What is child pornography!? on WorldCom Forced To Block Questionable Sites · · Score: 2

    "-MOST- of what is prosecuted as "child pornography" really IS NOT a terrible thing. Under US Federal law--and I am sure PA is no better--a 24 y.o. dressed in a "schoolgirl" outfit to "simulate" a minor makes for child porn."

    But... that's not prosecuted at all. The FBI isn't going to touch a child-porn case unless it's blatant. They aren't I see the point you're trying to make, but you kinda just blew yourself away right outta the gate.

  10. Re:BayTSP is small potatoes on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 2

    You'd be suprised at how many people still use the FastTrak family of P2P programs.

    They also look for Gnutella N Friends and Hotwire.

  11. BayTSP is small potatoes on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 4, Informative

    The big boy is MediaForce lead by the ever-pleasant Mark "The Tool" Weaver. Their complaint level dwarfs BayTSP's. Their complaint accuracy level, though, leaves much to be desired.

    SIDS? Sudden Infant Death Syndrome?

    If you're young enough to get *that* you've got no business having sex.

  13. Re:Diverse eco-system -- Re:Linux. My anti-virus. on McAfee Manufactures Virus Threat · · Score: 2

    I realize the list was abbreviated, but after writing "x on any platform" so many times, you should have included "NetBSD on, literally, any platform."

  14. Re:/. effect solution? on Staggeringly Amazing Church of Lego · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This should be pretty easy to implement, especially with all the subscription revenue rolling in. ;)

    MLM sucks.

  16. Any USB/Firewire solutions? on PVR For Linux · · Score: 2

    If there were a USB (or preferably Firewire) based DVB solution, this could make Linux on the Playstation 2 all that much more scrumptious...

    Right you are, I'm apparently operating off of old information - More info here.

    Like revising E.T.?

    Granted, E.T. is hardly a classic work of literature, but it's still a shitty thing to do.

  20. Re:How many do you think Two Towers is going to wi on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 2

    Let's not forget the Matrix sequel as well. It's going to be a three-way battle in the visual effects categories.

    And I thought this year's battle with Moulin Rouge was lousy. :-\
