  1. Blockbuster has better accountability on Classified Data Missing From Los Alamos · · Score: 1
    This official said part of the problem in tracking down the missing data is that the record keeping is so unorganized it is difficult to tell who had access to the lab and who could have legitimately signed out the material.

    So my local Blockbuster Video has better security and accountability than Los Alamos' most highly classified area, where designers of nuclear weapons do their work. Wonderful news.

  2. Re:What kind of request is this? on Metallica Remains Silent · · Score: 1
    I, too, thought the request to "remove" files from Napster showed a complete lack of understanding of the way Napster works, but check this articl e out. Interesting (but flawed) solution. Here's a quote from the article:

    "We are also providing a list which contains the MD5 signature of each offending music file," said the notice. "We require you to remove this content from your service. If you remove this content, you are not required to delete the distinct users from Napster. We would prefer that the specific offensive files be blocked by their MD5 signature, instead of blocking specific users."

  3. The Metallica Connection on I Love You "Virus" Hates Everyone · · Score: 1

    This Trojan was obviously written by Lars Ulrich of Metallica.

    In a surprisingly clever ruse to throw us off his trail, he programmed it to delete certain files in formats other than MP3.

    Come crawling faster...
    Obey us, Napster!
    Your life burns faster...
    Obey us, Napster!
    Napster
    Napster of the Internet is a terrible thing...
    treating our art like it's a commodity.
    Robing us blind, we can't afford a thing...
    Bootleg our work, but not as MP3s!
    Napster

  4. Re:What the hell is ID doing? on Dave 'Zoid' Kirsch Leaving id Software · · Score: 1
    I am no expert on this situation, but from what I see, ID has had a lot of employee turnover in the last year.

    Seems to me that the turnover rate in the gaming industry is pretty high, period. Same with radio. Nature of the beast, I suppose.

    I myself am a critic of Carmack, I read his interviews and just don't like him.

    To each his own, but why? I find him very impressive in almost every respect.
