  1. another retarded patent suit.... on Yahoo! Settles Patent Dispute · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "computer system for management of resources;"

    what would ANY computer system be if it DIDN'T "manage resources"?!

  2. audiopad on New Directions In Music Tech At Siggraph · · Score: 3, Interesting

    that is the sickest thing i've ever seen.

  3. Re:whats the point? on Re-Opened Computer History Museum Explored · · Score: -1, Troll

    once again... the obvious solution is modded into the ground. i feel like i'm at work. here's an idea you'd probably think was great: lets start ANOTHER computer museum in between the 2 for people that run out of gas on the way? it will of course be smaller than the other 2. i have the loan forms already filled out... now i just need to slap a cover sheet on and submit a TPS report and we should be breaking ground by 2006.

    suck it, idiots.

    thats only after they have your password hash file... if your box is secure to begin with, this doesn't matter... it is only after they get in with an account that can view the hash file that you are at risk.

  6. umm, excuse me, artists rights to their music? on MIT, Boston College Refuse DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    if they are under the RIAA they more than likely down own their studio records or have the right to allow people to swap them.

    they do have the right to allow concert recordings to be swapped and that is what they are in favor of.

    your retinas can be scanned while you're in line.... IN THE MOVIES.

    splityowig.com has a link to "my slashdot articles" that goes to this username... unless the above is false information, you are just as dumb as they are.

  15. Re:Erm...cache? on Web Caching: Google vs. The New York Times · · Score: 1

    the COULD start requiring your referrer to be http://new.google.com, but that can obviously be hacked, and all the karma whore would do is make a link to their own server and swap the header and redirect.

    NYT, you can't win. either require google links to sign up too or accept the fact that we are smarter than you.

  16. not sure if this was covered already... on Web Caching: Google vs. The New York Times · · Score: 1

    but those links provided aren't to google's cache of the site, but to the NYTIMES site directly with a flag that turns off their "require login" scheme... the simple variable change is &partner=GOOGLE

    tell google not to cache already happens, they need to fix the hole on their end.

    VIDEO POKER?!?!?! are you seriously talking about VIDEO POKER?!

    people this article is about serious poker... texas hold'em... omaha... 7 card stud...

    VIDEO POKER IS NOT POKER...

    these people built REAL AI analysis tools to analyze other players play and correct strategy. a huge accomplishment. video poker bots have been around since 5 days after the game was invented... its obvious... its a dumb mans game.

    and moderators... score: 5 on an obvious off topic post? come on.

    ... thats probably all he does!

    spends time with his family all day and raises his daughter right, all on the money he makes in 5 hours of card play a night. i do the same thing and make a good living. while your daughter is home all day or in day care and you rot away in a cubicle... AND THEN go home and play UT or Quake and continue to ignore your child. no, this is not a game, it is a job.

  21. Re:It's all about the odds on Artificial Intelligence in Poker · · Score: 1

    5 card draw? are you kidding me? poker face? you obviously haven't ventured outside of your dads friendly smoke filled card game in your living room.

    no one plays 5 card draw for money. no one makes bots to play 5 card draw for money.

  22. Re:Poker AI? riight... on Artificial Intelligence in Poker · · Score: 1

    I play cards 8 hours a night on pokerroom.com and as a winning player (over $10,000 in 1 year) i can say you are completely wrong.

    limit hold'em is almost all about pot odds with your cards, with a little bit of knowing about the other players playing style... what kind of cards they play and how they play them. the first one is simple to program AI... figure out what you are drawing to, how many cards help you and make sure there is enough money in the pot to justify.

    you may not think the second can be automated, but i have done so myself. online pokerrooms offer "hand history" pages so you can type in a hand number and get data about the hand. i wrote a program that pulls all of that data and puts in it my own mysql DB and generates player reports. sit at a table, type in the last hand number and it will show you a report with everyone on the table and generally how they play including how much they have won/lost and their average hourly rate.

    if you sign up using this link, and email me, i'll give you access to the reporting page handhistory.com.

  23. Re:Webcasters continue to sell out freedom, film a on Webcaster Alliance Threatens To Sue RIAA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    they are not lobbying for the rights to play the RIAA's product... they are demanding that they not pay the "RIAA webcaster surcharge fee" if they don't play RIAA music. they are doing exactlly what you are bitching about them to do. the RIAA basically got the government to believe that if you are playing music over the airwaves, it must be the RIAA's music and thus they deserve a cut of the fees. with airwaves that is easy, the FCC charges you to broadcast and gives some to the RIAA. with the internet there is no FCC getting paid so the RIAA wants the same money from the web caster even if they aren't playing RIAA music.

    The college stations don't have to pay because colleges are a state protected institution.
