  1. Vista hacked at Black Hat conference on The Black Hat Wi-Fi Exploit · · Score: 0, Troll

    http://www.technewsworld.com/story/52254.html

    Why no attention to Microsoft's most secure OS ever getting hacked at the same conference?

  2. Re:What??? on High-Definition Video Add-on Coming to iPod · · Score: 1

    Mac compatibility.

  3. Reference? Hoax? on Hydrogen Powered Toy Car · · Score: 1
    In a recent episide of the Mythbusters on the Discovery channel, Adam and Jamie tested rather unscientifically, blowing pure hydrogen directly into the carbeurator. The car ran.



    I could find no mention of that in their episode guide.

  4. Slashdotted! on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 4, Funny

    Anyone got a mirror of myspace?

    Nice! http://www.filefactory.com/ lets you upload up to 500 MB free without giving them an email address.

    Oh, yeah. I remember it well. Great theme music.

  8. A visitor from 1970 on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hi, I'm from the 1970s! Tell me about the future.

    We have smokers outside the buildings.

    Ah... is there someone else I can talk to? I want to know the interesting stuff that's changed.

    Perhaps the weirdest societal change has to do with digital cameras and the practice of framing shots in the preview window by holding the camera out in front of yourself.

    OK...perhaps I'm not making myself clear. Do we have vacations in outer space yet? Human clones? Gay marriages?

    The second big change is people walking around town or in the store with cell phones up against their ears, talking loudly into them.

    Oh. Nice. Walkie-talkie phones. That's just great.

    Wait, I have more! Blackberry Thumb punchers! E-mail addresses! Loud music!

    Bye now!

    "Macs are OK for games... ...but when you REALLY want to do some serious work, you need an IBM PC!"

    That's what Apple was afraid of hearing back in the '80s an what lead them to ignoring the games market.


    He took that and fluffed it out into a complete article! :P

  18. Re:Where's the FUD now? on Trojan Deletes Your Porn, Music & Warez · · Score: 1

    Nice try, but that's not what I said. To answer your troll, it's easy to password protect your files on a Mac. Some do, some don't.

  19. Re: Mplayer on Trojan Deletes Your Porn, Music & Warez · · Score: 1

    If I had one nearby, I'd tell ya. I find MPlayer is the one is most likely to play mpegs (that VLC won't) and with the best quality. I still have both, but MPlayer is my first choice.

    I left myself wide open for that one.

  25. Where's the FUD now? on Trojan Deletes Your Porn, Music & Warez · · Score: 1

    How soon before we see a proof-of-concept version of this virus on the Mac that requires you have a local account and type in an admin password?
