  1. Wow - can they parrallel process??? on Intel's StrongArm Roadmap · · Score: 1

    I am thinking of creating an MP3 player for my car, based round a handheld.

    I am currently working on a parrallel MP3 coder/decoder, and have had some success on my small 4 node Beowulf Cluster.

    I dont think that a single StrongARM would be powerful enough, so does anyone know if they will support parrallel processes, and if they will work in parrallel - I have not had the time to do more research on this chip.

    Thanks

  2. Hehe I can safely commit 'puter crime in the US!!! on "Hackers" Really are Anti-Social Geeks · · Score: 1

    Well as I only fit the profile in one area, I guess that I can safely come over there and rape the databanks of the pentagon without being caught

    Don't ya just love cops who THINK that they can spend a few years chasing after people and "get to know how they think, how they act" - you just gotta laugh.

    Most computer crime is perpetrated by white collar types - usueally in the Redmond area

  3. Good American patriotic site, slashdot. on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    Yep,

    Also from the UK and never seen a "real" gun, paintball guns, air-rifles and the like.

    There were hundreds of posts, so I cant be sure of the validity of my next statement/question, so fire-extinguisher at the ready.

    No one actually asked, "How could a 14 year old kid get his hands on a gun"

    As long as it seems that this is an accepted/acceptable practice (teens with guns) in the good ol US of A then this sort of stupidity is bound to happen.

  4. Sounds we can't hear? Very dependent on the person on "MP3 death watch" article on CNN.com · · Score: 1

    One comment on this - for "as long as you're not really _serious_ about sound quality"

    Read "as long as you're not really _anal_ about sound quality.

  5. A 'bad hacker' speaks on The Melissa Syndrome · · Score: 1

    I agree with you.

    Look at the situation thanks to Sony, Sega and Nintendo

    Kids dont have access to programming, and so the above companies are now going crazy to try and source a new generation of coders for their games.

    I subscribe to the philosophy "If you dont know how to abuse it, then you dont know how to use it"

    ie you need to know the weaknesses in a system before you can say that you know what you are doing with it.

    Maybe we need some servers set up that are "Hacker Friendly" ie no cops, no lawyers and a nice sysop to put it all back together, think of it as a "Hacker/Tracker training ground"

    Anyone like to volunteer a server?

  6. Don't the sheep ever learn on The Melissa Syndrome · · Score: 1

    Yep I do have a job.

    When you recieve mails from people are they often in the 3rd Party, suspiciously autogenerated, as if they have been passed on by another user format of

    "Important message from [name]."

    Dont you get a LITTLE suspicious?

    If from a real person wouldn't they be less stilted, maybe a little less formal?

    I have never recieved a mail titled "Important message from" that wasn't bot generated spam, and would automatically regard such with suspicion even if it came from my Mother.

    Didn't this trigger any suspicion????

    If so what was wrong with picking up the phone and letting your fingers do the walking, I assume that your Team Supervisor IS on the internal phone list.

    BTW as a suggestion to all those corporations out there with wide open doors to this kind of thing, why not stick all vulnerable filetypes on your INTRAnet, and just refer to them in emails - this is a LOT more secure, as only authorised documents are made available to your employees.

    Oh and another one, never turn of the warning in MS Office re macro's.

    Remember people, you cant rely on "dumb luck" otherwise you will end up looking like a "dumb schmuck"

    And those who are paid to be sheep, hope you're laughing all the way to the BAAAAAnk.

    How many months into 1999 are we.

    It is only 4 months since Happy 99.

    Fortunately I only ever read about that one - mainly cos I dont open strange .exe files.

    I can't wait till someone decides to exploit the weakness in the Standard VESA library and starts blowing up monitors.

    Maybe after some flashes and bangs the sheep would learn.............

  8. And just how do you propose..... on Gameboy on your PalmPilot? · · Score: 1

    Plugging those cute liddle Gameboy carts into your Palm Pilot?????

    Not thinking of a little bit of high seas freebooting are we.......

    Remember kids - Just say no to men with parrots on their shoulders, eye-patches and wooden legs.....

  9. Beer & Movies on Pizza Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    Try the Prince Charles Cinema just off Leicster Square in London.

    They serve beer, and not just in a paper cup, I'm talking about a glass bottle of beer - and they show movies REAL cheap, ok so the movies are about 1 month out of date, but for 1/3 of the price of the Odeon round the corner.....And they showed the UK (World) premier of Razorblade Smile - hmmmmm vampire chicks with swords in rubber

  10. Wearable interfaces on Wearable PCs · · Score: 1

    The reason for your poor perfomance with your mock up was your choice of aquatic organisms.

    I feel that Pink Salmon would have been more suitable as opposed to the Red Herring that I think that you used.

    Also we are talking about a Neural Interface here, not a Herring Aid.

    Any more kids wanting to waste bandwidth will be similarly replied to in similarly sarcastic tones.


  11. Wearable interfaces on Wearable PCs · · Score: 1

    Just think.........

    Imagine implanting electrodes onto the surface of the brain.

    This has been done for people with prosthetic limbs to give them control of simple movement with said limbs

    What if all you had to do was get a contact web implanted in your head, then spend some time to learn which thoughts controlled functions on your wearable.

    Combine this with wireless networking and the next thing you know.....BOOM - telepathy.

    Imagine a GeekCon in 10 years, and how it would look to an "off-liner" a room full of people all standing around, no one saying a word.

    Scary or what.....

    PS - Other advantage - you can eat Pizza, Drink Jolt and communicate at the same time
