  1. Small attack vector on Precursor To the Next Stuxnet? · · Score: 1

    It seems that changing target from Siemens to NeXT is a very inefficient way to increase your attack vector. I mean how many NeXT computers are still around these days? ... And yeah, I know , but I really cant be bothered to read anything more than the headline of the articles these days.

    Sure but it is nothing compared to the bagnut. Which is a mix between a bagel and a doughnut

    While this is in a sense true,

    It is usually said that tabulated (scientific) data can not be copyrighted.

  5. Re:Translation, please? on Intel Gives Up On TV · · Score: 1

    I read this and thought... Yeah I guess your point is that everything has to be on the net these days.

    Then I thought, wait there is something more going on here. ....
    Oh links, golf , browse.... And suddenly there is coffee all over my screen.

    -Well played sir.

  6. Re:Translation, please? on Intel Gives Up On TV · · Score: 2

    I think the problem might be that they found out that TVs doesn't really eat chips, at least not at the same rate as the viewers.

    And your car analogy makes no sense at all. Why would my golf cart need a java script interpreter?

  7. Re:What goes around comes around. on Anti-Piracy PI Talks About Building Cases Against File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    I guess, I'll just have to get some of those newfangled soundless sticks.

    Or will that violate the copyrights of "The sound of silence?"

    No, I make my own music by hitting two sticks of wood together. I guess that to, will be banned soon enough.

  9. Re:Break out the scalpels! on Put On Your 3D Glasses — Class Is About To Start · · Score: 1

    They could just do a survivor game out of it. Every semester the kids get to vote which one of them should be dissected. I mean school is already a popularity contest, so why not make it official? Btw, this is probably one of those times my sig really needs to be considered.

    So? This isn't a term paper where plagiarism matters.

    No but I heard the Sumerian IIPA can sue the shorts off of a Abrahamic scholar in no time flat.

    Lots of talking about being stoned, what is this drug-liberal religion that you are talking about? And how do I get in on it?

    None of my business, really.
    But still, I can't help but wonder if you forgot to post anonymously.

    In fact, I believe that the latest harry potter (or perhaps the next???) may be found in the discarded data from this Shakespeare project.

  14. What about copyright? on A Few Million Virtual Monkeys Randomly Recreate Shakespeare · · Score: 0

    If it can be proven that this is not a copy of the original. Who owns the copy right? Does this mean that in a couple of years Torrents and PirateBay will be replaced by virtual monkeys creating works of art for me? And, would I have to pay them virtual bananas, or do they work for peanuts?

  16. Re:10mW chip running off 60W bulb on Intel Experimental Processor Runs On Solar Power · · Score: 0

    And on top of that, The photons generated from that 1.26W are spreading radially from the lamp, which means only a very small percent of the light generated by the lamp will hit the "stamp sized" solar PV cell. And also, I did not see 60W mentioned anywhere in the article.

  17. Re:This is what easy over safe design gets ya on New BIOS Exploiting Rootkit Discovered · · Score: 0

    Actually, If you cant follow the simple procedure to update your BIOS outside of windows you are probably better off not updating.

  18. wow, that sucked on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 Developer Preview · · Score: 1

    I actually like Windows 7 a lot, but I would be using Linux all the time, except WW (Work and WIfe) dictates the use of windows. Ok, back on topic. I downloaded and tried it. But I dont see anything in there that would make me ditch W7. Not that I am all that fond of the Start Button menu, but replacing it with some crappy Flash (ehm silverlight) page is not an improvement. Don't see the new UI working all that well for phones either, perhaps it would be ok on Set Top Boxes or something.

  21. Re:Really? on Japan's Richest Man Outlines Renewable Energy Plan · · Score: 0

    I don't want to find my self in a position defending coal fired power plants.

    But this comparison has to stop, I see it far to often.
    Yes A coal plant can produce about the same amount (or more) radiation than a nuclear power plant that is in normal operations with no problems. But I hope you are not claiming that a coal power plant is producing anything in the vicinity of the radiation that was spewed out by Fukushima and Chernobyl?

    Efficient?
    You mean like an apple is less efficient than a pear?

  23. Re:Just wait . . . on Japan's Richest Man Outlines Renewable Energy Plan · · Score: 1

    I have lived to close for comfort to both of these accidents when they happened. Both where bad, We did not have the graphite fire/explosion here in Japan. But the amounts of radioactive materials released is approaching Chernobyl levels. In Japan we have three reactors (at least) to worry about. The area is more densely populated. The only saving grace being that the winds were blowing a lot of the stuff out to sea. Time will tell what the effects are, but it wont be pretty.

    I know the NT kernel source code was leaked, but I wasn't perverted enough to look at it.

    I beleive it to be a mix of C and C++ so I guess you mean, "You can write VB in any lanugage"?
