Ok, I spend a lot of time on IRC, and used to use efnet (before I got fed up with the people like this kiddie and left). I somewhat knew MafiaBoy's little 'l33t irc group', and learned his modivation for this particular attack.
Are you curious? Do you want to know WHY he did it? After all, maybe he had a good reason. Well, here it is:
Someone else in his 'l33t irc group' said "hey I bet you can't take down yahoo". There you are, folks, the modivations of a script kiddie. These people will do anything if their peers dare them to. Truely deserving of the title 'kiddie' which they've been given.
Bullshit. nvidia's drivers have caused crashes on my machine, and machines of everyone else I know who uses nvidia cards with linux. Just because it may be stable for *you* doesn't mean it is for everyone. For *me*, it crashes, occasionally locking up the entire system, and leaks memory constantly.

I'm sure if they tried to let you do this, someone with a lot of extra money and lawyers would complain and quickly put that to a stop.
So is anyone aware of a way to hack a tivo/directivo to get the video stream?
Yes, and all those cartoons that portrey the evil character as having a beard! I find that offensive to claim that people with facial hair are more likely to be evil than those without. Let's organize a protest!
Personally I've become very frustrated with nVidia's linux drivers. They cause my machine to crash randomly. This is not just me, either. All of my friends who have nvidia cards under linux seem to experience the exact same problem. All my friends using different video cards are stable as hell. Coincidence?
I'll give you that when the drivers work, they work quite well. They look good, and run fast. But part of the reason I started using linux in the first place was to avoid the constant rebooting that comes with the alternative. Being totally closed eliminates the possibility of someone else coming in and fixing the problem, so all I can do is wait and hope they fix it on their own....and so far, they haven't.
1 gram of antimatter + 1 gram of matter, converted directly to energy
well, E = mc^2 and the units for that are E (1 joule) = m(1 kilogram) * c (3x10^6 meters/second) ^ 2
so 1 joule = (1kg*m^2)/(s^2)
anyway, m = (2/1000) kg c = 3x10^6 meters/second c^2 = 9 x 10^12 meters^2/seconds^2
E = 1.8 x 10^10 joules
There you go - eighteen billion joules of energy. Now creating this matter is going to take more than that, because remember the second law of thermodynamics - you can never acheive 100% efficiency.
And, of course, that means you can't get more than you give either. When you convert energy into mass, you create both antimatter *and* normal matter. You can't just create one.
Hoooold on there..... You can't get energy for nothing, just not possible. And when you transform energy into matter, you don't just get the half you want. Producing 1 gram of antimatter would simultaniously produce 1 gram of normal matter. And it would take 2 grams of energy to do it (at perfect efficiency)
Now I'm not an engeneer of this stuff - so someone that knows more please correct me, but as I understand it's not possible to produce *only* a gram of anti-matter. The universe must be balanced, no?
You can't get more energy out of the system than you put into it. They used energy to create these antiparticles, so they know how much would be created if they came in contact with normal matter.
So you can use a magnetic field to trap positrons and/or antiprotons, because they have a charge, but when they form antihydrogen they become neutral. How, exactly, do you store a neutral molecule of antimatter? My understanding is the pennig trap doesn't work this way.
I use sid, and want to switch to sarge as soon as it's filled with sid's packages. I also want to continue updating from sid before the release. Got a script for that one?
I was under the impression that the human eye is more sensitive to slight changes in the blue spectrum of color. If so, why are there more green sensors used to gather color information?
I don't think losing a few seconds each day will make the difference needed to mess up the results of such a test, but in either case, NTPd measures the inaccuracy of your system clock by comparing it to reliable sources (stratum 1 time servers) and compensates for it automatically. If you run ntpd, you should be able to see what your offset is by looking at the file/var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.
With the ever-growing use of wireless links for IP data, how much more difficult will it become to track down abusers?
If I sat in an airport with a laptop, I could use the (surely) fat pipe of the building to DoS some poor person, and who would catch me? The user reports to his isp, who gives it to the airport's upstream provider who give it to airport personnel. By that time, I'm way the hell out of there.
Of course, I'm using "I" in this post hypothetically - I hate DoS and the packet kiddies that do it, but what security is being put in place to prevent it?
Ogg Flac is just Flac hacked into an Ogg bitstream. Squish will be a rewrite of an old program of the same name written by the same author, and should get better lossless compression than flac.

The thing keeping Vorbis from becoming supported by most hardware players is that the reference decoder requires a FPU. It is certainly possible to decode vorbis without floading point, but thus far no one has written the software to do so. As soon as this is done (and evnetually, it *will* be done), vorbis support for the hardware players will come pouring in.
Iomega has promised vorbis support for their HipZip player after 1.0 is released, but they have released beta firmware which does it already.
is the *best* lossy audio codec I've yet seen. At -q 3 (ends up being around 112 kb/s average) most is transparent to me, and at -q 4.99 pretty much everything. (I don't use -q 5 because it jumps up to lossless coupling which makes the bitrate jump quite a bit).
Aside from sounding great, it's 100% free (open source, patent-free) for everyone, and I can always annoy people on #vorbis (opn IRC network) with technical questions.
If you're looking for lossless compression, wait for the people currently working on vorbis to write Ogg Squish, which will be their lossless codec, and should kick ass as well.
I'm also looking anxiously forward to Ogg Tarkin, the currently-in-the-works lossy video codec, which is using new technology (wavelets) to encode video. I believe it shows a lot of promise.

Yes it does. I just did. *shrug*
What's the highest voltage there? 12v?
Actually ATX supplies both +12 and -12, so the highest voltage is 24V. Not saying it would make a difference, but...

Just a question --
How efficiently can we store elecrical energy in batteries? In hydrogen? How efficiently can we get it back out?

Bottled gas like propane? I believe these exist.
Perhaps, but can you run a deisel generator indoors? Not without an expensive ventilation system
Yes, H2 can't just ignite all by itself, it needs O2, which is why you can compare it to a can of propane, not a box of gunpowder.
Not nearly as explosive as the bigass tank of gasoline you drive around every day.
The Hindenburg's problems were caused not by the H2, but by the chemical in the paint on the fabric.
