  1. Re:Salon Article on What is 'IT'? · · Score: 1

    Actually wiseguy, the spaces is an anti-lameness measure to prevent trolls from breaking the format of the page by posting really long URLs (or any long strings that won't wrap). You'll notice that actual HREF tags doesn't have randomly-inserted spaces in the URL.

  2. Re:Are we supposed to be suprised? on CPS-2 Encryption Scheme Broken · · Score: 1
    it's not just figuring out the key. it's figuring out the encryption algorithm as well. besides, until now there was no known way to even get the plaintext ROM.

    Go and actually read their website, and you'll realize how stupid you sound...

  4. SFS - DNS the way you want it on Attacks Against SSH 1 And SSL · · Score: 3
    some guys at MIT developed a file system called SFS - Secure File System. Knowing how untrustworthy DNS really is, they used a novel authentication scheme by embedding the public key and hostname into a string called the HOSTID that's required to connect. Their implementation is based on NFS3, but the key-certifying scheme is applicable to everything.

    Pardon me for being curious, but enlighten those of us who are not involved the porn-surfing scene. He got porn sites from search for "black bear"? HTF does Black Bear has to do with porn? Last time I heard, there were humans, horses, and goats. But black bears?

  7. Thank god! on Slashback: Plexion, Kernelism, Salaryness · · Score: 3

    Somebody finally explained the word warez to me! I always thought they were some kind of tupperware!

  8. That makes no sense. on Most Linux Distros Won't Run on Pentium 4 · · Score: 2
    According to c't (german magazine), the problem is just with SMP-Kernels, that have problems to identify the IO-APIC to know the number of CPUs.

    Pentium 4's aren't even SMP capable yet. If what you're saying is true, then no one should have no problems.

  9. Re:There's no way on My.MP3.Com's New Useless Status · · Score: 5
    There is no way that either Napster or MP3.com will survive if they begin charging for what is, essentially, a free service. There is no basis for charging access to a service that merely provides you access to your own music.

    Napster merely provides me to access my own music?

    And robbing the bank merely allows me to access my savings account...

  10. Dear Cliff/Ask Slashdot on What Do You Think Of The Delux DVD? · · Score: 5
    Dear Cliff/Ask Slashdot:

    "I am an employee of the marketing department of Foo Inc, posting anonymously to ask a question that has no relations whatsoever to attempts to plug my company's product.

    Just like any other geeks with large amounts of expendable income, I'm currently baffled as to what I should spend the money on. Then I heard about FooL-Slashdot, an excellent product by Foo Inc that has the following features:

    * Plays MP3/DVD/DIVX/RM/MPG/AVI/Christmas songs on DVD/CD/CDR/CDRW/Zip/Floppy/CompactFlash media!
    * Emulates PS2/PS1/Dreamcast/Saturn/N64/SNES/Genesis/Pentium VI, all at full speed!

    So, um, anyways, is this product too good to be true? Please ask the other geeks with expendable income for me!!"

    Hey, I'm not saying that REALLY is the case, but it seems very likely..

  11. Re:Grammar [was Re:Linkage?] on Sleeplessness Impairs Memory · · Score: 1

    Dang. If that wasn't a lame attempt at trolling I don't know what is.

  12. Re:Irrelevant on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 2

    Large corporations do not upgrade their software everytime Microsoft comes out with a new release. That means usually they spend a longer time with an old version. Since they don't know how much longer they're going to use the product, a subscription-based edition is certainly less appealing.

  13. Re:Now how effective will that be? on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 2
    No sweetheart, but it will certainly make it easier. There are still hundreds of thousands of people out there with a modem connection, which makes downloading the whole thing online very tedious.

    If there is a crack readily available online, it's not a hard decision to choose to spend $39 for Office 10 or $259 for Office 10.

  14. Now how effective will that be? on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 2

    The shareware world has shown us that we can always circumvent the registration by the use of cracks, or key generators. Does the fact that Microsoft is willing to give us a subscription version that works just like the full version means that it's vulnerable to such ways to get around it?

  15. New Records broken on Combating Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 1
    Two days ago we broke the record for the fastest repost (1.5 hours). Today we broke the record for the slowest repost (almost 5 months). It's history in the making here!

    Stay tuned for the fastest consecutive repost, fastest triplet reposts, fastest triplet consecutive reposts, etc etc etc!!!!!

  21. He said more than that on TypoSquating == CyberSquating · · Score: 3
    That's not the only thing he said:

    I have no problem with typo squatting as a whole, but there are a dozen Slashdot typo sites, one of which frames Slashdot with a 2nd banner ad. Now I don't care ... but this fools about 1 person every 2-3 days, and they flame me for selling out and doing something so horrible as framing Slashdot for extra ad space. So I guess typo sites that frame the site are pretty slimey, but as long as the typo site provides a link to the correct site, I'm totally cool with 'em.

    My god did you read that? Taco doesn't care for selling out slashdot! Look at how much you can infer from his quote!
