  1. Re:Non-news.... Bug is in CURRENT not STABLE on FreeBSD-Current Random Number Generator Broken · · Score: 1

    What article... did you even follow the link? don't talk shit, current is essentially beta, lots of people run beta, but you don't use it for production... BSD specifically tells you this when using current.

    Yeah I submitted the article. I'm not saying it's running on production. I'm saying the keys made by people running current are.

    What!!! you don't regen keys everyday OMFG, what is the world coming to, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    It's been a problem for months, I'm sure some people have generated keys in that time. Are you trolling?

    Bleeding edge software has bugs?? what

    Many people run CURRENT, so if they put their pubkeys on servers they could possibly be guessable. Try reading the article next time.

  5. Wireless/Encryption on Creating a Backboneless Internet? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it'd be based on wireless and encryption, and it'd be pretty slow.
    Your connection would just be to other wireless nodes and you'd forward traffic that you receive that isn't destined to you. To solve the problem of people snooping traffic there would need to be some strong end-to-end encryption for communications.
    Since there isn't any static routing going on, it's going to be slow because it's hard to construct an efficient route.

  6. woah on Fast Generation of 3D City Models · · Score: 1

    it's not every day you see posts on slashdot that have giant detailed 3d models of two blocks from your house...

  7. little projects on Why is Java Considered Un-Cool? · · Score: 1

    most hackers like to whip up chunks of code to accomplish small tasks. java is terrible for little hacked together projects. nothing is more annoying when you're trying to write a 100-line program than being forced to handle exceptions that you could care less about.

  8. fun times on A C Compiler For The HP49g+ · · Score: 2, Funny

    as calculators get more and more powerful and capable, the fun things one can do to them increased. I made something for the ti-83+ that replaces every token (eg. "sin(", "1" and "Q") with "codysux," and I'm currently finishing up a self-propagating virus. I'm sure this just opens up many new possibilities for people to mess with the hardware.

  9. Starcraft on SP2 Community for Windows Developers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yah, STARCRAFT doesn't work. What the HELL. That's issue #1, if you axe me.

  10. Re:eMacs on Thin Client Solutions For Libraries? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I helped set up an emac lab in my school's library. They're pretty good, OSX is great for restricting things down to being able to configure open-firmware to not boot from CDs without a password. Only real problems were kids stealing and breaking mice.

  11. Brokaw on 'PalmPSOne' Takes PlayStation Into Handheld Domain · · Score: 1

    I wrote about Tom Brokaw on the free-response section of my AP Bio test! Dude has crazy eyebrows! My god! And like, I wrote about how terrorists send him anthrax and shit. I got a 5 (the highest grade).

  12. Hell yes on Slate On Worms That Plug Security Holes · · Score: 1

    Hell yes I would rather be infected by a worm that patches my system if the alternative was be infected by a worm that wiped out my data.

  13. Frag on Boardgame Spins On Computer Strategy Games Rated · · Score: 1

    A favorite game of mine is Frag, the first-person-shooter board game. You can even play capture the flag!

  14. not good on Linux Distributions for Powerbooks? · · Score: 1

    My experiances are all bad. If you have OS X, just use it. Don't even bother with linux. There's no good reason, unless you're a masochist.

  15. Leaving messages on The End of Email Cometh? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    for a lot of people, sending email is just a way of leaving a message. When more IM clients can leave messages for people who aren't online at the moment, email will die out more and more. Although, spammers will certainly turn to IM.

  16. Kinda like... on Infected PCs for Rent · · Score: 0

    Isn't that just a little bit like slashdot? Post a story with a link to a site and DDoS takes it down. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to bribe the editors to post some bogus story with a link like "super lego robots of death."

  17. Bandiwidth on Limiting Bandiwidth in a Shared DSL Environment? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The title of this post raises an interesting idea:
    I think we should change the word "bandwidth" to "bandiwidth." It just sounds better!

  18. Caveat Emptor on 1503AD and the Rapid Erosion of End-User Rights? · · Score: 0

    Let the buyer beware, not let the buyer assume he's getting something, gets something else, then sues.

  19. Wow on Han Solo in Lego Carbonite · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It is amazing what a man can do when he can't get a date

  20. Desktop Environments on What Applications Will Drive System Performance? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Crazy new next-generation desktop environments will require a hefty speed boost to keep things snappy, for example I'm thinking of Java's desktop they're trying to create, with a 3d interface and lots of graphical bells and whistles.

  21. bling bling on Robotics + Car = Hallucigenia · · Score: 0

    that'd be so much cooler if you could make it iced out with fatty rims and stuff. And hydraulics.

  22. Awesome! on Stem-Cell-Like-Cells Made Using Only Blood? · · Score: 1, Funny

    So I could like, inject this stuff into my arm and I'd have a super-arm that could like shoot laser beams and pick up mack trucks full of pianos?

  23. Lets take a poll... on Recommendations for RPN Calculators? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is this really a valid and relevant question to like, anyone?

  24. Tflops/s on Top 500 Supercomputers Ranked · · Score: 1

    Terraflops/second?
    A trillion floating point operations per second per second?
    How upsetting.
