  1. Re:Reverse Hacking? on FBI Does A Cracker-Jack Job · · Score: 2

    The FBI didn't really hack anything. They conned the guy's passwords with a keystroke logger and then logged right in. No hacking involved. Probably illegal, but I figure that the laws about hacking apply to the FBI as well as anyone else... If the damage isn't over $5000, would the FBI have to investigate their own actions? But I guess the FBI knows as much about hacking as the geniuses with their name all over attrition.org who claim to "root" NT boxes.

  2. They are just now figuring this out? on Displaced Techies Find Sex Sells, And Pays · · Score: 4

    Sex has sold for years, since biblical times. Probably before that, too....

  3. Re:The War on Drugs is the only thing that makes s on Internet Drug Game Could Save Lives and Money · · Score: 2

    you'd realize that there are, in fact, no border patrol checkpoints in the INTERIOR of the US--those being at the border, of all places

    Yes, there are border patrol checkpoints that AREN'T at the border. In Arizona, that I know of, Northbound traffic on SR 90, SR 80 and SR 82 all cars have to pass through the U.S. Border Patrol Checkpoints set up at their designated spots on those highways. The reason that those checkpoints are there, is because in the desert where there are no walls or fences or any immediate way of preventing drugs or illegals from crossing, people cross and vans come by to pick them up. The 3 highways listed are the only way to get from this part of the county here in AZ to northern arizona and on to freedom or business (whichever is being transported at the time). These internal border patrol checkpoints have been extremely useful in catching drug shipments and illegals. If you ever come to this part of the country you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

    The United States and thousands of miles of coast line, most of which is totaly undefended. Substances move through our interior with virtualy no check on them.

    Excuse me? No check? Have you had your vehicle taken apart lately crossing the border just because they heard a report of a vehicle similar to yours that could have possibly been trafficing drugs? Do you cross a border patrol checkpoint on a daily basis where they check every car for... guess what? Drugs! (and illegal aliens). I don't know where you live, but I live less than a half an hour away from the US/Mexican Border. I see firsthand this "virtually no check".

  7. Microsoft has to find another way out... on Judge Refuses to Reveal Anonymous Posters · · Score: 2

    In the year 2010 when microsoft goes bankrupt due to a worldwide bluescreen, their case against 20,000,000 anonymous chatroom users trying to drop their stock over the coarse of 20 years will no longer work for them, as proved in the article.

  8. Creature Learning? on Talking 'Bout Game AIs · · Score: 3

    I threw one villager into the ocean. ONE! My creature happened to be standing nearby. Now even though my power is strong because I'm being worshipped by just about everyone, it sucks because I'm becoming an evil god now because my damn creature keeps throwing people into the ocean!!!

  9. Re:cameras in school too much work for parents on Sean In The Middle · · Score: 2

    A system would have to be worked out. for example, A student reports an incident in the 2200 (ex.) hallway. he says that a group of students threw him up against the lockers and made threatening comments, but does not know who these students are. The school would have to have some sort of a library... keeping videotapes of specific areas for up to a week at a time, the faculty would be able to grab the tape for the day of the incident that was recording that area (assuming the kid reported it within a weeks time) and check out the tape from that timespan. The tape section could be edited out, shown to the parents of all the kids involved, and no one could argue.

    Kids are not going out a blowing each other away every day. It is a rare occurrence.

    Search for 'School Shooting' on cnn.com

    School shootings happen more than than you think, more than just what is thrown in your face for a few years on every major news broadcast. The ones where no one gets hurt, or the motives were not due to years of bullying and torment are not as popular. The public is afraid of the 'Goths' and the 'Freaks' and the public wants to hear about when one of 'them' does something drastic, it fuels the fire of fear and resent.

    We only care because they are happening in suburban schools and didn't stay in the inner cities like they were supposed to.

    That's because in inner cities the shootings are gang related, where 'emotional issues' are not involved. When a 'nigga busts a cap cause you was frontin' to his hoe', it is considered just another gang related shooting, whether in school or on the streets.

    I hate that thing! It's integration into office 2k when it comes to any basic file opening/saving.... that thing realy really needed to go quick. I shouldn't have to spend 15 minutes configuring an application that is supposed to be good as soon as it's installed.

    I am sorry Dave, I cannot do that......

    Actually, I think that the name might just be a joke, you have to understand that most brilliant minds have a sick and twisted sense of humor. They are not announcing AI or anything, just extremely fast processing. Now, if they give it an OS that has self preservation built into it and place it in control of a spaceship, then we are in trouble.

  18. Finally.... on Windows Games On Linux · · Score: 2

    Everyone I know who is a windows advocate is so because of gaming. The majority of all games are not ported to Linux, and therefore, if you are a heavy gamer, you almost need Windows. Not that I am against windows (Because of my job and it's excess of NT workstations, I've become used to it), I am just for Linux. But getting to my point.... Finally there are no longer going to be arguments that Windows has something over Linux.

    It was a good article, I enjoyed reading it. But did anyone else have the problem of being redirected to a dead link every 30 seconds? I found this to be very annoying.

    On a note that relates a bit more to the article, hasn't linux been used in CGI for a while now, I've heard that Titanic was rendered entirely in linux. Anyone else have support on this?

  21. A Happy Medium? on Become A Techie In The Military Or Tough Out College? · · Score: 2

    You can do what I did. Instead of joining the Army, I started working for them as a contractor. It's much better pay, and you still get benefits included. I am in a position where my skills are used and I'm having fun. If you live near a signal or intelligence base, look up the local DoD contractors and see what positions they can offer you.

  23. DSL and Q3 don't seem to work very well for me on The Modem Lives On · · Score: 1

    I have 768/384 ADSL, and I download like a champ. My latency is usually less than 50ms. I can play all sorts of online games, but games that run off the Q3 engine I just don't seem to do real well. What is funny, on a 33.6 modem, I played Q2 without a problem. DSL is really nice for Q2 now and i probably couldn't return to a modem, but it still worked and gameplay was still fun.

    The only luck that i have with Q3 online is when there are 5 or less players in the arena, which can be alright, but it's cool to be able to support at least 10 players in one huge arena. I've never had a problem with Quake 2, in fact, one night at a lan party with 4 computer being routed through one computer running a proxy with NAT, and there was absolutely no lag. Like i said, Q3 is just way too bloated & impractical.
