  1. So.... Computer CJD? on The Biology of Network Security · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, what happens when someone finds a way to either a) run code right on the hardware and bypass the virtualization, or b) finds some small snippety of code (a binary prion, perhaps?) that plays hell with this RISE? I mean.... Mad Cow Disease is a prion.... Mad Computer Disease next?

  2. How does it "find" the password? on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 0

    Little bit of brute force coding? Or a very tiny dictionary? Would be interesting to see how it's done, really.

    Doesnt say if it affects SAMBA, and i couldnt really find anything out. anyone else found or heard anything?

  3. Just me or ... on Linux-Powered PVR/Satellite Machine · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  4. Republicans? on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 1

    The worst Republican, on his worst, conspiracy-laden, evil, money-grubbing day is better than Saddam Hussein on his best, most charitable, not-killing-people day.

    I take it your a Democrat? ;)

  5. GST, in Canada. on States To Try Taxation Of The Net Again · · Score: 1

    Collecting this tax will cost more than the tax can produce itself.
    GST has been a losing battle for the government up here for years. That never stopped them. No offense, but the american government isnt any brighter about things like logistics of taxation than our own french mistake.

  6. Re:Tariffs on States To Try Taxation Of The Net Again · · Score: 1

    It'd seem pretty hypocritical of the US, and it'd probably be difficult to get away with, given the amount of trade agreements in place that purpot to provide free trade with various foreign markets. Hypocritical? Softwood lumber, anyone?

  7. Why not just take out a patent on ..... on Patent Cases Hurting Small Businesses · · Score: 1

    A system for the disabling of logical, rational thought; a system that creates random decisions and has no method of control or accountability?

  8. Re:Stick this technology on Next Generation of Holographic Images · · Score: 1

    Dont you remember? we have already HAD a 3d game in arcades. time-something timecube orosmething it was called.

  13. Re:Potential pr0n problems - i was going to say... on Full Color Electronic Paper a Reality · · Score: 1

    "Whats that sound, son?"
    *moan moan*
    "Oh, nothing mom... sore stomach!"

  14. A question... About processor pairs on Dynamic Cross-Processor Binary Translation · · Score: 1

    So does each different pair of processors have a different release? say intel -> ppc or sun -> amiga?

    And does this mean, perhaps, if we get this software running nicely in a chunk-o-firmware, we can have amp? (as opposed to SMP)?

    Just curious...

  16. Re:more like a thin sheet of plastic on Full Color Electronic Paper a Reality · · Score: 1

    (snip) The display is not really paper, but plastic about as thin as those "for sale" signs you can buy at a hardware store. They basically can go anywhere you'd put a thin plastic sheet (snip) "3 Casheirs needed" *click* "2 casheirs needed" .. ok not a bad idea. "Clean cut salesman needed for computer department" *click click* "Intelligent, clean cut salesman needed for computer department" Hehehe. Here ya go, future shop!

  17. Re:Potential pr0n problems - i was going to say... on Full Color Electronic Paper a Reality · · Score: 1

    I was thinking... this kind of gives a while new meaning to a subscription... I mean heck, give it some good waterproof page(s) (for a centrefold) and an IR port... (pins short out) and BAM! can you say business plan? A little slideshow programming... or maybe not... you could even have *animated* pron mags now (eat your heart out, hugh) Nummy...

  19. Normally I wouldnt brag... on Motel 6... Hundred Miles Up · · Score: 1

    about taking a hooker to a motel, but... hey, ya only live once :) (i wonder what the g's would do to her bewbz)

  20. Wouldnt it be a good thing? on Panel Recommends Mars Samples Be Quarantined · · Score: 1

    We theorize there is (intelligent) life on mars. Assuming there is a microbe there, it has survived for millenia in a harsh, unforgiving, lifeless, cold place, where nothing changes for hundreds of years. I can see why they are worried about this getting out of hand at NASA/Washington DC (the labs)... sounds like a perfect breeding ground... However, if these microbes are "intelligent" then i might change my mind and say its about time some intelligent life was allowed to breed in washington :P
