  1. Re:USA = China-Lite on How The Government Spies On Your Internet Use · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You mean the totally fake video of nick bergs beheading?
    Think about what happens when you cut someones head off while they're still alive.
    Then look at the guys doing it, and in particular Zaqwai (sp) who is supposedly a) missing a leg, and b) dead. (According to the CIA)
    And now, magically, not only does he have BOTH legs, but he's alive!

    Google around a bit, you'll find out what other people have said about it.

    Once you get past the fact they're "cutting off a guys head" and analyse the video, you'll start to see..

  2. Re:Torrent stats on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 1

    As said before, throttle your upstream in BT to 1/2 or 2/3's your max upstream. If you max out your upstream, you won't be able to download much at all.

  3. Re:Slashdot and Bittorrent on Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors · · Score: 4, Informative

    Try throttling your upstream on your BT client (Or get a better one if it doesn't let you) to 1/2 or 2/3 your total upstream bandwidth.. If you use all your upstream, you're downstream speed will suck ass..
    I'm on comcast cable, which (in real life) has 24-25K upstream, so I set my upstream throttle in Azeurus to 16K, and i'm now maxing out my downstream with just the knoppix DL.. (400K/s)

  4. Re:Why use windows update? on New Windows Worm on the Loose · · Score: 3, Informative

    The patches were released on the 13th of April, there were four patches, of which, put togeather, they patch 20 different vunerabilities.

    Err, Startup Monitor does just that.
    Well, it doesn't protect the registry, but it does pop up a dialog box whenever something tries to add itself to those registry entries..

  6. Re:Headphones are an even better solution.... on A Silent PC Solution? · · Score: 1

    Err, I bet you havn't patched lately right?
    There are bots/scanning tools out, and probably a worm soon that exploits a bunch of vunerabilities that MS releasedpatches do two weeks ago. One of them is in lsass.exe, and i've seen several (unpatched) people having the some problems, and then finding out they were rooted....
    If I were you, (I would've patched already) I'd take that xp box offline asap and go through and do a full scan/system audit/etc..

  7. How to run KCEasy with the FT plugin on FOSS Application Under Attack by Makers of KaZaa · · Score: 1

    Simply grab the setup file for version 0.11 (Which includes the FT plugin), install it, then install version 0.12 (which doesn't include the FastTrack Plugin) which will then give you the option of using the previously installed FT plugin.
    Enjoy.

  8. Re:What about VideoLAN or MPlayer? on Turbolinux Licenses Windows Media 9 · · Score: 1

    Auctally, you can play WMA/WMV with libavcodec, or/ffmpeg, which is free. So it's perfectly legally to distribute a player/codec which will play WMA/WMV

  9. Re:broken already (it's lame) on HDD Assault Cannon · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh man! That guy is so screwed, since dsl in NZ has data caps, and you pay per meg once you go over that cap. And it's EXPENSIVE. It ranges from 10-20cents per MEG.

  12. Re:I tend to agree. on On FPS Sniping And The Ruination Of Gameplay · · Score: 1

    Auctally, Red Orchestra, a mod for UT2003 does this, I think.
    You get a zoomed view of everything throught the scope, but you can see around it, too

  13. Re:Time for some coding on Crack the Code and Win a Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    libtomcrypt has an implementation of ECC as well as RSA and DSA/DSS as well as a bunch of hashing algorithms and symmetric ciphers.. And it's free.

  14. SILC? on Using IRC for Electronic Meetings? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or you could use SILC which is an encrypted/authenicated chat network. Every client has to generate a public/private keypair, so you could get/post public key fingerprints in the workplace/wherever, then simply authenicate each user who comes into the channel, or password protect the channel.

  15. Re:Never let it be said... on Kiss Technology Counters MPlayer GPL Arguments · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They don't need to distribute apple binary codecs anymore anyway, since libavcodec/ffshow can decode SQV1/3 natively, so no need for external binary libraries.

  16. Re:SecureIM that's why on Microsoft Messenger Architect On The Future Of IM · · Score: 1

    Uh, there are several secure plugins for gaim. The reason that the gaim dev's won't support the trillian "secure IM" is a) the Trillian devs won't release a protocol spec of how their secure IM works, and b) It sucks. It's not secure. So what's the point?

  17. Re:IRC Needs Improvements on IRC in the Dog House? · · Score: 1

    SILC has the answers. ;)
    SilcNET
    It's a totally new protocol built from the ground up on being secure, unlike IRC.

    Check out the "Click to play flash" mozilla extension...

  24. Other guides? on Some Geek Guides for Dating · · Score: 1

    What about guys guide to geek guys or the girls guide to geek girls? (Although the former would probably be used more than the latter!)
    Personally, I think a study on the number of gay geeks vs straight ones would be interesting.
    While I may be biased (being a gay geek myself), in that I know lots of gay geeks (All guys!), I have to wonder about the various ratios. Is the ratio of gay/straight geeks higher than normal?
