  1. Google Stadium on Microsoft Becomes Wembley Stadium's Backer · · Score: 1

    Does it run linux? => NO Unless you disable the DRM (Security Guards)
    I want a google stadium. It runs LINUX!

  2. Attempt to prove an oracle by not proving it exist on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 1

    See subject. ;-)

  3. Re:Am I on the right site? on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 1

    I think there is a typo. On slashdot it should say "corpse bride" not princess bride. Or maybe I am on the wrong site too ;-)

  4. This is great! on Bill Gates Is Coming To A College Near You · · Score: 1

    Awesome. Someone that understands the power of computer science is advocating it. I think this is very beneficial to the fact that the interest in the field may be starting to wane because of globalization.

  5. Re:Yup, got one here on Apple Upgrades Mac mini, Doesn't Tell Anybody · · Score: 1

    Sort of a nitpick but I believe mac os x is at 10.4?

  6. Failure on ESA Cryosat Launch Reported Failure · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well this is one way to get more money into space flight. Shoot up duds ;-)

  7. Aggressive on Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or are the microsoft executives being very aggressive lately?

  8. Re:Yeah, maybe on Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    There is an old saying in the CS industry that applies here. The concept is worse is better and sony is in the position to produce a better product but instead the worse gets accepted. Hopefully this time better will win. See http://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html .

  9. Fork on Nessus Closes Source · · Score: 1

    How long until a fork of the currently released nessus source code becomes available? Closing it's source is absolutly ludacrist when a deriviative project could easily become available.

  10. Re:I'm not sure but.... on Microsoft Drops Aging Encryption Schemes · · Score: 1

    Yes you are correct. NTLM uses DES encryption to generate a hash of the password. See http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Develope rs-Guide/pwencrypt.html for more information.

  11. Re:120 GB... on Seagate Momentus 120GB 2.5" HD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You have obviously haven't heard of bittorrent or other peer to peer file sharing applications.

  12. Re:How the hell much music can people use? on Seagate Momentus 120GB 2.5" HD · · Score: 1

    I think you could. Downloading whole discographys from bittorrent and audiobooks I believe that you could do it. It might take awhile though.

  13. Re:See DeCSS decrypt! Decrypt, DeCSS, decrypt! on Brute Force · · Score: 1

    Then the author would be in violation of the DMCA. That might be a problem. for the author ;-)

  14. Re:The other one is... SEX on Accused Zotob Worm Author Says Money Was Motive · · Score: 1

    Which can be bought by money. Ergo money is the first answer and the second is paying off the ho.

  15. Re:Agreed. on Hashing Out the Next Step in Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    Considering that there is 30K of data you could probably fit the private key that would be on the disk.

  16. Re:Apt on Beowulf Pioneer Lured From Cal Tech to LSU · · Score: 1

    Possibly he means that a True AI needs massive parallelism across the internet. This would transform how we interact with computers and how a Ai system could be built. Mistakes could be multiplexed through the internet and a idealized AI system could be hacked away one problem at a time.

  17. Re:As a nerd... on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    The joke that Rockman is referring to is a lisp joke. In common lisp first is a synonym for car (contents of address register) . Also it is very unlikely that RMS uses vi because he created GNU emacs.

  18. Re:Deny access on Do We Really Need Space Weapons? · · Score: 1

    The weapon doesn't have to blow up satellites. Isn't the main idea is to disable them? If that is the case using an EMP weapon would do the job without creating much debris.

  19. Re:glamorous on Pentagon Wants Screenplays From Scientists · · Score: 1

    Also you get to get transported. Pick up hot chicks and kill headcrabs. You also get to fight against the combine.

  20. Re:$60 games? $300 console? on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    They did that with PS2's. It was on slashdot awhile back see PS2 cluster . You would probably see a ps3 cluster than a XBOX one because of the fact that the PS3 will probably have linux ported to it already.

  21. Re:Pattern on Learning Perl, 4th Ed. · · Score: 1

    Use an escape character to match N.

  22. Wiki's on New Google Homepage Features · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some people have community based wiki's that they might want to be updated on for recent changes.

  23. How long until it becomes hacked out? on Full-Motion Ads Come to Videogames · · Score: 1

    It won't be long until someone finds a modification to the code that will allow people to stop watching ads. Or replacement of the ads with some 15 second clip of something else.

  24. Re:Typical Republicans on Congressman Seeks Scientists' Personal Data · · Score: 1

    Why attack the poster when you can attack the actual argument. You seem just to attack the opposing party instead. A perfect example of Ad Hominem.

  25. Re:A Google Memex? on Sixty Years of Memex · · Score: 1

    What your talking about sounds similar to not the world wide web but a semantic web.
