    are you sure it's not just interface options/advanced/max camera distance?

    no, the web is html+http, you twit. the port is a totally meaningless arbitrary convention.

    well, it happened to you once, so it must happen the way you describe every time.

    or... the tracker comes back. or you get the parts from the people you're already downloading from, because the people they're already downloading from have 100%. dead trackers are much more of a pain in the ass for people trying to start downloads, because they can't get hooked into the torrent.

    um, so what's the indication linksys modified the sources? because that one slashdot story that was submitted by rob flickenger turned out to be bullshit.

    actually, it says specifically that he does own a house on nantucket.
    'Kerry's in a box,'' says Cliff Schechtman, editor of The Cape Cod Times. ''He owns a house on Nantucket, but he's running for the presidency on a strong alternative energy platform.''
  9. Re:Don't forget on Aimee Deep Interview · · Score: 1

    because what she says in the interview makes her look like a daft moron?

    "The oral arguments are due June 4th, why should Greplaw readers go to Chicago to attend?

    is just so retarded.

    did you actually read the pdf? in it, it states that the nvidia drivers detected specific shaders and refused them, instead loading different objects and rendering those.

    that's way, way more than code optimization.

    I hope you're trolling.

    The failure of slashdot to educate its users about the way trademark ACTUALLY WORKS never fails to disappoint me.

  14. Re:I don't get it.. on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    um. i would bet 90% of current trademarks are made up of "words in the dictionary". the point is that the owner of a conflicting mark is operating in the same space, and AOL has decided to avoid having to defend their use by changing the name of the lightweight browser component.

    and actually, no, trademarking words in the dictionary is not frowned upon at all. you can trademark anything you want, if you have deep enough pockets to pursue infringement and general upkeep of the mark. indeed, this recent post by DJ Spooky to <nettime> describes a press conference describing the trademark of the term "hip-hop".

  16. Re:Robocop on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    iirc, the news reports were a fabrication of the movie version, and weren't in the original.

    but it's not like fighting a space war against giant insects is a particularly original idea, in and of itself.

    slashdot editors make typos. slashdot editors do not mistake the 20th century's absolute worst, horrible fucking hack piece of shit (piers anthony) writers for one of its best.

    since you asked, yes, i did.

    only problem is that it's not live. it seems like they'd at least be able to do weather, etc., and maybe they're selling a l33ter version to the gubmint. "Keyhole" seems like a reference to the KH series of spy satellites, so i'm guessing they're at least thinking about it.

    there's some talk of being able to tell the difference between the original user of the mac and the spoofer, based on RF characteristics, like signal strength.

    rfmon still wins, though.

    well, if you're using HostAP, you could theoretically build up a dynamic defense that would mac filter and force disassociation (if an association was attempted) of any station detected to be scanning. you could do similar things with embedded devices and licensed firmware, i'm sure.

    or, the h4x0r would be smart enough never to associate with his or her real MAC.
