  1. Re:heh on Xbox Hackers, Linux, the DMCA, And Modchips · · Score: 1

    No, buying FASA Interactive and driving them into the ground. I am still waiting for a Shadowrun game.

  2. Woo, that looks hard. on Zen And The Art of Nomad Hacking · · Score: 3, Funny

    So they overtightened a couple of screws and bolloxed the LCD screen. Big deal. I'm more intrigued by the paragraph on how to disconnect the IDE data cable from the back of the disk. ExtremeTech, indeed.

  3. Re:Commodore? on Colecovision Drum Machine Cart Created · · Score: 1

    I'm also just interested in having a new cart to shove into my CV. Frenzy's wearing a bit thin.

  4. Re:Amen that Amen on Webcaster Alliance Threatens To Sue RIAA · · Score: 1
  5. Re:It's foil-hat-tastic on Russians Order Mobile Phone Encryption Removed · · Score: 1

    I'm more or less surprised cell phones have any crypto at all, given how easy it is to tap them using radios. Could it be somebody actually has a clue? Or maybe they were sick of wiretapping into vapid preteen conversations when they were looking for eeevil terrorists.

  6. Re:Cool - a neat BSD laptop. on VIA Introduces A New Laptop Motherboard · · Score: 1

    Does *BSD have good laptop support? I didn't even consider it... APM and everything included?

  7. Re:Offsite Backups. on Review of T3: Rise of the Machines · · Score: 1

    Yes, the backside of the double-sided metal-box DVD has all those scenes, as well as a handy guide and a hidden alternate (good) ending (you have to input a damned hard code to access it)

  8. Re:It wasn't 100% clear [spoilers!] on Review of T3: Rise of the Machines · · Score: 1

    Watch when the hydrogen cell goes off -- it blows a big hole out of the top of the mountain in the external shot. Dunno if that would have caved the whole damn mountain in, but it probably did a fair bit to the structure. Considering the bunker is designed to withstand nuclear attacks, that's not very strong.

  9. Re:It was T2 on Review of T3: Rise of the Machines · · Score: 1

    I thought it was an Amiga, not a Mac, but I've been wrong before.

  10. Re:Ruined on Review of T3: Rise of the Machines · · Score: 1

    Also in T1, you can see Arnie's as he walks toward the gang members. Big deal.

  11. Re:Here's a thought... on Lexmark DMCA Case Winds On · · Score: 1

    My Z53's a nice printer, hasn't severely bolloxed up on me much (though the OS X driver is pure shit). I don't seem to have much functional luck with printers: almost all non-laser printers I've dealt with have stopped working in various exciting ways. I have an old junky Canon at my feet, when I turn it on, it makes noises for a good ten minutes and doesn't play nice with CUPS, despite the fact there's a driver for it.

  12. Re:What Linux Buys You on HP To Sell PCs With Mandrake 9.1 · · Score: 1

    Hooray, a prettier video card!

  13. Re:"Good" Column on Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "Perhaps" his "tech job" is limited to "trying out" the "quotation marks" instead of "knowing" "how" "to" "partition".

    Slashdot needs less Linux-conversion stories from half-baked morons like this, more from people who actually know what the hell they're doing behind a keyboard.

  14. This is bullshit. on UN Recommends WiFi for Poor Countries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No offense to developing countries, but most of them would rather have clean water, or no civil wars, than the ability to get wireless access anywhere.

    This has little practical value and the UN should be ashamed of promoting something so stupid.

  15. Re:and... on The Rise of Casual and Mobile Gaming · · Score: 1

    Bah, I can do it on a can of Dr. Pepper and no Skittles at all. I'm the Uber-Developer!

    Well, as soon as I can figure out how to send variables over the link port, I'm well on my way to a multiplayer CTF game coded entirely in class. Hooray! Maybe I can leverage some of these skills to pay for the extensive thumb reconstruction surgery I'll no doubt need.

  16. Re:Interesting... on WiFi Exposes Sensitive Student Data · · Score: 1

    Hell, I've talked to you enough on IRC, I can probably give you one at this point.

  17. Re:Everyone should benchmark with GCC on Apple Hardware VP Defends Benchmarks · · Score: 3, Funny
    And that's not to mention the benefits for OSS compilers. Imagine the kind of resources and funding processor companies would dump into open source compiler projects if they were going to be the basis for their benchmark scores instead of their closed source proprietary compilers.

    "So, Bob's been looking at those Intel diagrams for quite some time now."

    "Yeah, I wonder if it's anything to do with his new assistants and Porsche."

    Even the OSS community has a price. ;)
  18. Re:Silly on Real Life Doom With Point-And-Shoot Positioning · · Score: 1

    The only other job I've seen with that degree of incompetence is in the US Senate. The Senate job probably pays more.

  19. Bot. on IDSA Forces Arcade Game Manual Archive Offline · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think this is a bot; the IDSA has gone after tons of innocent game sites before with their scripts. I severely doubt a real human would confuse "manuals for download" with "ROMS for everyone".

  20. Re:Finally on Asia's Space Race: China vs. India · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hopefully, this will also shove the Yanks to get back on track for space technology, even for no reasons other than national security (I think the Americans still fear China, correct?).

  21. The real solution on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 4, Funny

    We should grab some of the guys who get 1000+ spams per day, point them to the physical location of the spammers, and then step back. I can guarantee you that vigilante justice is entirely appropriate here, considering we want the gov to step back from the 'net instead of entering new "secret arrests of spammers"(?) laws.

  22. Re:Call them Terrorists on Getting Law Enforcement Action for a Large-Scale Hack? · · Score: 1

    Hell, my ISP probably has no idea what passwords are, let alone SSH.

  23. Re:Oh come on... on Mini-ITX PC in an Atari 800 · · Score: 1

    Now that's just sacrilege.

  24. Re:Name not good... on Palm OS Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    *groan*

    Won't someone think of the children?

  25. Re:i do on Palm OS Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    The databanks are pretty spiffy, also, I think Casio just released a watch with a miniature digicam that takes small JPG images and connects through USB. It was a couple hundred at my local $BIG_EVIL_RETAIL_GIANT.
