  1. Re:Losing battle on Hacker Business Models · · Score: 1

    Because so does the secretary. And you wouldn't call him/her a hacker/cracker/phreak/etc. Nor would any member of the public.

  2. Re:BSA ads on slashdot? on CD Sales Continue To Plummet, Vinyl Records Soar · · Score: 1

    The WWW has ads?

  3. Swedes? on Swedes Cast Write-In Votes for SQL Injection, Donald Duck · · Score: 1

    Vegetables vote now?

  4. Re:Why? on First Installment of Xiph.org's 'Digital Video Primer For Geeks' · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Also, don't geeks already know these things? I mean seriously, I understand the general public not getting the difference between say, lossy and lossless compression, but a geek?

  5. What exactly.. on Snoop Dogg Joins the War On Cybercrime · · Score: 0

    What exactly *is* cybercrime? I really don't see how spamming bits at a machine can be viewed illegal, or even harmful. If the machine was for some reason vulnerable to this, is that my fault?

  6. Re:Aluminum on Machining a TI-89 Out of Aluminum · · Score: 0, Redundant

    because theres nothing to break the shock of the fall if he uses aluminium. he either has to cushion the innards, or figure something else out..

  7. Re:Assange can post whatever he wants... on Wikileaks Now Hosted By the Swedish Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    No, the real problem is, that WMDs can be released merely by information (codes), instead of having them equipped with a physical switch hidden undeground, with a few hundred armed guards surrounding it.

  8. Re:Or learn C-flat on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 1

    citation needed bud. MIDI doesn't make the distinction, neither does any instrument I know of, so please back your statement up.

  9. Re:Cool. on Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies · · Score: 1

    Wait, not ALL surgical teams morals weight more than their career goals? WTF?

  10. Multiplicative, not additive. on Do Home Computers Help Or Hinder Education? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So TFA is looking for the sign of the effect of PCs, assuming it's additive. Well, it's not. IF I _want_ to learn, a pc helps me at that. if I _don't want_ to, a pc helps me at that.

  11. Lockharts Lament. on The Creativity Crisis · · Score: 0
  12. Ah crap.. on YouTube Adds 'Leanback,' Support For 4K Video · · Score: 0

    Now I have to render at even higher resolutions.. A 4K video frame won't even fit in VRAM at 2*2 oversampling....

  13. Re:Right so.. on Has Any Creative Work Failed Because of Piracy? · · Score: 0

    Well honesty like that is a *very* rare gem nowadays :(

  14. Right so.. on Has Any Creative Work Failed Because of Piracy? · · Score: 0

    I make music for a living, not because I enjoy it.. yeah, that's what an artist would say..
    Seriously, how could anyone call themselves an artist, if money was the only block in producing there art?

  15. But the songs.. on RIAA's Tenenbaum Verdict Cut From $675k To $67.5k · · Score: 1, Informative

    28 - Rage Against The Machine - Guerrilla Radio
    29 - Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
    30 - Aerosmith - Water Song/Janie's Got A Gun

    There is maybe like 4-5 songs actually worth something; the rest will just fade in time. Tenenbaums bill of $67.5K on the other hand, probably won't..

  16. Re:WTF is this? on Activision Wants Consoles To Be Replaced By PCs · · Score: 0

    indeed, all my classmates play WoW, and none of them pay..

  17. How would these sidewalks.. on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 0

    How would they turn, and split? The belts at airports work well enough, because there is an area of that bag that will take it forward, but that wouldn't work with us standing on them.. we would fall, surely

  18. How Exactly Do They Implement This? on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 0

    I mean seriously, how do they *know* I'm not John Doe? The bank account info? Surely paypal would solve this, or if nothing else, buying gamecards from a store.. and if it were bank account info, if my granny bought me a month, would my name change to hers?

  19. What? on Google To Add Pay To Cover a Tax For Gays · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why do gay couples pay more tax?

  20. AACS KEY on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 0

    How about 09 F9 {...}? Atleast you'll have an "illegal" tatoo..

  21. Do you expect me to think this makes sense? on Sen. Bond Disses Internet 'Kill Switch' Bill · · Score: 0

    No sen. Bond, I expect you to die..

  22. Kopimi? Really? on The Pirate Bay's Founding Organization Shuts Down · · Score: 0

    The guy's name is really kopimi? epic. I now declare this Kopimi day!

  23. Right.. on US Fears Loss of ICQ Honeypot · · Score: 0

    Because bad guys use ICQ instead of Freenet right?

  24. I don't get it.. on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 0

    So what's the relation between actual network throughput and "SurfSpeed score"? Cause I think we can all agree 1.23Mbps is apalling..

  25. Re:Finally an idea from the WH that makes sense. on White House Unveils Plans For "Trusted Identities In Cyberspace" · · Score: 0

    theres one big problem with it.. imagine adding that to your code. it would look a bit like this: bool authenticate() { .... } and a result, if the authentication succeeds, one puny bit is changed. seeing as changing other programs' memory beneath them is as simple as firing up cheat engine, a dongle wouldn't help..
