  1. Re:And let the games begin on Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers · · Score: 1

    Now they just have to figure out how the demo disk becomes playable, use it as a boot disk, and poof, free games for everyone. :) I might be buying a 360 sooner than I thought...

    Exactly. I have a feeling that this may be the first leak in the XBOX DRM 'dyke'...

    hehe... dyke...

  2. Re:Yippy-Skippy. on Hard Drive Window · · Score: 1

    Your design leaves nowhere for air to enter, so not all air will be removed. Plus, as the device struggles to achieve 0psi, the 14psi pushing in on it will be a major problem to contend with. Good luck keeping that plastic tarp in place and sturdy.

    The simple fix would be to stitch a hepa filter somewhere in the tarp, preferably where it can be attached to 2 crossbeams, because there will still be pressure on it.

    Otherwise, good idea.

    Zing!!!!!!

    I saw a VW Bug the other day, with an Apple sticker on the bumper. I instantly knew the driver had an iPod, black-rim glasses, read alternative news, and listened to either emo or punk.

    Nothing wrong with these things by themselves, but doing them all to fit some clique... Lol.

  8. Type Manager? on 'Type Manager' The File Manager of Tomorrow? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have been taken a closer look at the Type Manager, what makes them so usefull, what they really provide for the user and came to some surprising results.

    When it manages basic spelling and grammar, count me in.

  9. Re:excellent on Cray Supercomputers to be Based on AMD Opterons · · Score: 1

    It would make sense only if AMD and Cray improved the tech in a way that would make the Opteron better suited to the server market as well, such as by improving the scalability of the technology.

    Perhaps they could license the result to Intel. They don't seem to be doing much lately.

  10. Re:Er, huh? on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    True and fair. I should be clear: the contention is not the action itself; rather, it is the appearance of intent to commit the action under cover of secrecy. Transparency in gov't is paramount in a democracy.

  11. Re:THEY DID THIS WITH MY HELP. on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    I (hopefully) know you're kidding, but the fact of the matter is that the government are our employees. When we can't analyze what they're doing, I hope that's the day the seven trumpets sound and all that.

  12. Re:Er, huh? on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    I don't think you meant to reply to me- I never said it was good or bad; I just said they do track SNs to associate with physical persons.

    But now that we're on the topic, it sounds to me like you're saying, "If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide, and consequently should welcome any and all inspections and other usurpations of privacy by gov't agents."

    The founding principle of America is that the gov't works for the people, and it controlled and subservient to them. WE are the boss, and WE check on THEM, because they are our employees. I don't check on my boss, and I damn well don't expect my employees the gov't to do any "preventative" searches or other actions towards me.

    If you, as one of their bosses, condone such actions, you weaken all of us.

    Take another look at the labels of high-price items next time you're in CompUSA. There's more than one barcode, and YES they scan the UPC *AND* the serial number barcode, and YES they keep it matched with YOUR credit card. This stops people from breaking an item, purchasing replacement identical item SN:XXX and returning broken item SN:YYY.

    Don't let that sand get in your eyes, dimwit.

    Okay, mighty slashdot. Now in your refusal to implement coral cache, you're impeding EFF from garnering donations. When will you be sated?

    And with your donation, you can claim the same.

    Just $25 can make a big difference when hundreds of people donate. If the site is busy (and it is at time of posting) just try back later. You will make a difference.

  24. Handle it the same way 2600 did. on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    A Taiwanese 2600 Magazine reader wrote a letter to the editors making this very same complaint and threatening to stop reading, etc., until 2600 made a formal apology. 2600 said pretty much, slow down there, pal. There are ISO standards for what countries are called, how their names are transliterated, etc. These standards are maintained by the UN. If you have a complaint, take it there. We're following ISO standards. I imagine for Google, following ISO standards would be a legitimate concern.
