    Yeah, PGP is good... but I'll be damned if anyone can break these cryptic slashdot ramblings...

  6. be right? umm.. on Long Computer Sessions Could Cause Blood Clots · · Score: 1

    It says right on the page

  14. also... on Interview With Google's Director of Research · · Score: 1

    Sure it's a good search engine, but one of the best things about it is this: http://www.google.com/intl/xx-bork/

  15. an epidemic? on Cheaters Sometimes Prosper · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it an epidemic. I play a lot of halflife based games/mods and very rarely see someone who I believe is cheating. I think this problem may be amplified some when ppl read articles like this and then run around like idiots screaming "cheater, cheater!!!" every time they get killed by someone with skill. I've seen it happen a lot.

  16. Re:United Devices on RC5-64 Project Teeters At The Halfway Mark · · Score: 2

    I wouldn't say it's a better client. Almost every time my computer crashes, it starts over completely on the part I was working on. Since my computer crashes a lot, this means I have done about 3 days of work in 20+ days. Needs some work.
