A neighboor of mine has been connecting to my unsecured wifi. He's usually connected to a secured AP I can see, but if I deauth him or just wait long enough with my AP up and open, he ends up back on mine.
Two days ago I started a man in the middle attack (http://www.crimemachine.com/Tuts/Flash/SSLMITM.ht ml). I control the AP, so it's easy. He hasn't gone anywhere interesting yet, and I haven't gotten any passwords, so this is far from a successful hack. It's more of a cautionary tale.
You really can't assume there's a noob on the other end of that open wifi.
Better a bunch of the rest of the crap sci fi out there. The space ships look pretty good.
I'm kind of disappointed that the robot guys (cylons?) aren't at all robotic, even at the microscopic level (according to the show).
Also, space flight doesn't work like that... but every other series I've seen has portrayed space flight as far too similar to atmospheric flight, so I guess I shouldn't bother complaining. I don't like the president woman, either.
Final verdict: yeah, make more, I'll watch it. -Skeld

You are absolutely right. The study doesn't debunk the 3-click rule at all.
The 3-click rule isn't about completing a task someone has given you. It's about laziness.
I've heard something to this effect too. There are small muscles in your eye that contract and flatten the lens of your eye, allowing you to focus. If whatever you're focusing at is just on the edge of your focus range, those muscles get tired fast.
Nearsightedness is when the muscles become too strong, and are warping your lens too much, and farsightedness is when your muscles are too weak.
This is why nearsighted people tend to end up really nearsighted, and farsighted people get totally blasted vision, because their muscles are weakening (and eventually wither up and die, or something).
Anyway, this is all conjecture, but it seems to make sense, so that should be good enough for Slashdot.
The bible is the word of god. Therefore god hasn't hidden all traces of itself. therefore god doesn't exist.
Ah, but the bible could be the work of a raving madman (or a raving science-fiction author) in which case faith is still required. As long as there is a possible reasonable explanation other than God existing, the system can still sort of work. Which happens to make it pretty much impossible to prove it one way or the other.
In other words, you are an authoritarian theocrat.
Well... it's more like "free stuff for everyone without hurting anyone and just confuse the hell out of anyone who gets in your way." Zen's fun stuff, btw. An assault on logic. -Skeld
What do you expect NASA to do? The only people who aren't pissed at them for wasting tons of money are the people pissed at them for not doing anything they're interested in.
It's like this: You give them 40 billion, and we'll go to Mars.
A bit of relevance... This does not disprove God. Christianity is based on faith. The whole system is based on faith. Were we to have ANY proof that God exists, we no longer need faith, and so the system would fail. Therefore, if God exists and He is all powerful, He would have hidden all traces of his existence and acts in order to preserve the need for faith. So there will always be a rational explanation. Case in point: amino acids formed.
By the way, I'm an agnostic communist with Zen and Tibetan Buddhist sympathies. Thought that might be interesting.
ok, ok, look. The light in the little light bombs is produced by a chemical reaction. The big light bomb is a huge amount of compressed gas. The big bomb goes off, spreads the chemicals around (corners), and then the chemical reaction happens, releasing light.
The light doesn't bend. C'mon people SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!!
ok, ok, on the light going around the corners... The gas in the bomb in the box (still with me?), blew the chemicals in the little bombs (yknow, the lightup ones), all through the tunnels, and as the chemical reacted within the spreading gas, it produced light. The light didn't go around the corners, the GAS did, then the gas made light.
I guess the chemicals they used in the balls works as an aresol... or something.
Understand?
I suggest that when you see something stupid in a movie, you cover your eyes and shout "SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!! SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!!" over and over until you can enjoy the movie again.

2000 does NOT perform as well for my games as 98SE. I'm not going to use a toy OS *cough*win2k*cough* over another toy os, 98, if I lose ANY performace at all in 2k. I heard that XP actually outperformed 98, but I believe that about as far as I can throw a cow.
If it really is a better OS, I'd love to have it for my games, but I don't want all the other MS bundled advertising crap. I'd like a utility that I can run right after installation or ANYTIME that would strip XP down to the bare bones, remove all the extra bundled software crap, and lemme install my stuff.
Anyone think they can do that? Shouldn't be too hard, present a list of software that was added without your consent, such as passport and MSN explorer, with a little check box asking if you want to remove. It would also get rid of all the MS flaunting backgrouds... crap like that.
The point of the game is to PLAY the game. If you would rather pay cash to NOT PLAY for 60 hours, then maybe you should keep your cash and NOT PLAY at all?
I do understand the appeal of Diablo. It's a "get stuff" game. It's so addictive because of the way our society works... we have a "get stuff" society...
My favorite game is Tribes2, and I would put the T2 CD in the microwave before I would cheat at it.
Ah well.

I got a kick out of how the previews changed from "His name is david, he's 4' tall, his love is real but he is not" to the robotic man whore going "the humans hate us, they made us too strong, too fast, too many, when they are gone only we will be left... Ooooh, we're robots, we break things, explooosions, yeah
seems like they realized the cutesy previews weren't working.

Wasn't there a Popov in a Tom Clancy book? "Rainbow Six" maybe? And wasn't that bioweapon related?
Weird. Although I guess Clancy does do actual research, and Popov isn't exactly an uncommon name.
