Damn it, these news about new cpus are getting annoying. I would hope that Slashdot will stop helping these animals and their hypes. Everyone knows that more mhz doesn't mean better! For crying out loud, I just upgraded from a 266mhz to 350mhz last month. Too much cpu power for me, who cares about 1130mhz?! How many of you will buy it if Intel releases it today? (1) It will cost an arm and a leg, (2) You will probably need to buy a new motherboard (3) It is more likely to be bugged and unstable compared with what you have today. (4) Unless you are crunching some number, you will not see the performance. So, why is this news important to slashdoters? Hrm, I have no idea.

They wrote a DLL wrapper between Quake and opengl32.dll that rewrote all the glColor..() functions to pass half the requested alpha. See through walls and anything else.

boycotting IE 5.5 is not enough. I don't use windows anyway. But what I have done is modified my webpages to deny anyone with IE 5.5 access. I tell them to download the older version or netscape, and I tell them why. Imagine if a lot of site did this, Microsoft will hear to us. I hope slashdot will do this!
A checksum could be applied to perhaps the first 10% of each data, not counting mp3 headers and such. Once you download that part, your program caculates the checksum and match it to a checksum from an online database.

Go python, does anyone notice that Perl 6 is going to borrow a lot of things from python? Another score for python! :-)

I was appalled to hear that people still watch xfilez. quick, what year is it, where am i?
I wrote my own robot to crawl ebay and collect data for personal use? Does that make my tool illegal?
Yeah, calling me an idiot shows how smart you are. Go suck your father's penis, and drink every ounce of his cum.
Hey, "The great gatsby" is bill gate's favorite book. :)

Never underestimate the skills of a hacker.
