  1. /. Posted Title???? on What Game Developers Think about DirectX 10 · · Score: 1

    What Game Developers Think about DirectX 10?

    What kind of open-ended question is that? On /. too, I mean, what kind of posts do you expect to get? I think a backslash of this could be extremely funny.

  4. Re:In current news... on OpenSSL loses FIPS 140-2 Certification (Or Not) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If a validation certificate is marked "not available," the module is no longer available for procurement, but may still be retained and used to demonstrate compliance to FIPS 140-1 or FIPS 140-2.

    Weathersby said the problems have been corrected and the workaround submitted to the certifying laboratory, Domus IT Security Laboratory of Ottawa, for re-evaluation.
    Weathersby said the results of the re-evaluation would be submitted to CMVP for a final review and reinstatement of the certificate.


    Seems like we're in for a wait.

  5. Stupid Politics on OpenSSL loses FIPS 140-2 Certification (Or Not) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "I am discouraged with what appears to be another change after certification has been awarded," said executive director John Weathersby. "It is disheartening after three-and-a-half years of work to have the certification pulled twice for reasons not clear to us."
    ... NIST is not saying why the certificate was removed.


    Stupid politics.

  6. Not exactly jaw dropping on Phantom Lapboard On Sale August 15th · · Score: 1

    From their website: The Phantom Lapboard allows for easy use while seated in the living room.

    Aren't they supposed to be trying to capture the attention of their audience? Can't you easily use pretty much any gaming console, or a pc for that matter, while sitting in your living room? Tell me something a bit more interesting on the front page of your main site.

    Early warning could enable the government to allocate money and resources to potential disaster areas before disaster strikes.

    Now this would be total chaos. WTF are they thinking? Oh ... the supercomputer says we're going to get hit with a Tsunami in 2024, oh please oh please government start giving us money now so we can squander it early!

    This is /.
    I'm sure we could figure out something.

  11. In His Apartment Earlier on Skype Protocol Has Been Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Paglee details in his blog a call he received from the engineers using a rudimentary client. Part of the proof that the protocol had been cracked came when the engineers sent Paglee the IP address of his computer, information that normally would be encrypted during a Skype session.

    Little did he know they were in his apartment earlier in the day.

    If a cow stands in the middle of the road in India, the locals will just wait, patiently, for it to pass. Americans sometimes fail to get this...

    If we didn't have stuff like this to do, Congress might have to talk about the fact that the Middle East is about to descend into chaos due to complete mismangement over the past five years, and this time with a hundred thousand US troups right there in the middle of it.
    If the American people caught wind of that, there's no telling what they'd do!


    America doesn't care. They'd continue to eat their potato chips while sitting in front of their PC surfing MySpace and playing solitaire with their iPod cranked to the max listening to Britney.

    I've been left with the impression that the majority of Slashdotters don't actually read the comments.

    But spam in general is a global problem (email and search engines), and their are global groups that have been put together to combat it. The government is trying to get involved too. You would think, if somebody comes up with a way to crush spam, they won't be allowed to keep that info to themselves long, because the global community wants that information. Maybe I'm just crazy, who knows.
