  1. Re: Are things really that bad? on Implications Of The Recent Hash Function Attacks · · Score: 0
    From what I have read a preimage attack is picking exactly what hash you want.

    For example I may have a document that currently creates a mostly random hash, with preimage I could add extra bits into the document and make the hash equal to exactly what I want. Warez people could make all their fileid.diz hashes "L33T_L33T_L33T_L33T_L33T" with some extra padding at the end of the file.

    Right now all we can really do is live with the hash that is currently generated.

  2. The links are endless on HP To Start Selling Its iPod · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It seems that a news site (slashdot) gets news from a news site (uberhacker) that gets news off a news site (ith online) Its getting a little too abstract or something for me here...

  3. Confused on Dual Caches for Dual-core Chips · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not a hardware pro, but is this basically the same as having two seperate chips, or am I missing the point here?

  4. Re:Dupe on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you don't have to bitch about dupes! Its far from constructive and the slashdot editors have made it clear that they are in favour of dupes since about 1 in 5 posts are infact dupes.

  5. Re:Dupe on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can't you just let those who haven't read it yet, read in peace? I know its hard to read every single story so if the good ones are duped sometimes it is for the best. And if you don't like dupes don't read them.

  6. Re:Lies... on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 1

    Sorry for generalising. Its easy for a few people to ruin a lot of others reputations. *cough*bush*cough*

  7. Re:Lies... on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 1

    Americans just don't like losing, so they make a big fuss if they do. America may have been supprised their star swimmer lost, but everyone else would have been shocked if this particular underdog won. He was clearly outmatched by thorpe and the other guy with a really hard name to pronounce.

  8. Baby with no muscle inhibitor on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1
    This story reminds me a lot of the baby who produced none of the muscle inhibiting drug posted on /. a while back. In 20 years time it could be very hard to tell who are mutants and who are super athletes.

    Could turn into some X-men plot with try to weed out the mutants...

  9. Re:One handed Dvorak on A One-Handed Keyboard For $25 · · Score: 1
    Thanks for supporting me here =)

    Even though I did point out I was unable to see the keyboard at the time, now that I've seen it I still stand by that I think its quite possible to map it like you said myndzi.

    I'm guessing there would be a caps lock for capitals.

  10. Figures seem high on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Even that 28% seems fairly high to me. At my uni in computer science I would say probably not even 10% are female. I'm in Australia too.

  11. One handed Dvorak on A One-Handed Keyboard For $25 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Dvorak allready has keyboards designs for both left and right hand only. These could probably be put on the new kb easy enough. Not that I can read the article, mirror anyone?

  12. Re:Uh...no on Traffic Control of the Future · · Score: 0

    I think there are only blue dots on "overpass" mode

  13. Re:Bat/Sonar on Will There Be A Winning Autonomous Robot in 2005? · · Score: 0

    I was wondering about this myself. Everyone is talking about lazers and cameras with edge detection programs. Whats wrong with radar/sonar? They should see straight thru the bushes but see the rocks nicley.

  14. Pascal on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 0

    Pascal was designed for the purpose of teaching people programming AFAIK, seems like a good choice here. Though Qbasic still rocks for learning.

  15. I think on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: -1, Troll

    most people are too dumb to know what they want. Smarter people should force the rest to do whats best for them.

  16. Just like my gf on NYC Crosswalk Buttons are Inoperative · · Score: 5, Funny

    The buttons don't work

  17. MMORPG on Online Gaming for Couples? · · Score: 1

    I would see any sort of online roleplay game working fairly well. You can even make her dress up as an elf or something.

  18. Re:Evolution on Femtosecond Lasers for Nanosurgery · · Score: 1

    Mutation does wonders. Do it a billion times and you are bound to get something more useful atleast once.

  19. Re:I wish... on Personal File Server For The Masses · · Score: 1

    s/solutiion/solution/g is the solution!

  20. Re:I knew it on Testing the Five Second Rule · · Score: 1
    Why should they be bothered to check? I see no real motivation for them.

    I embrace dupe posts as it gives me a chance to read stuff I may have missed by an odd chance.

  21. For once I aggree on Decipher · · Score: 1

    Usually I have a sad at everyone for just trolling for karma, but this time I do aggree. The review, or overview as someone more accuratly pointed out was rather crappy.

  22. Food intolerances can cause ADHD on Working with ADHD? · · Score: 1

    Recentially I had become very depressed, I was unsure why, I would just become angry at everything. I then found out about something called the "Elimation diet". It is primerially aimed at people who suffer from asthma and ADD/ADHD, but the diet can help people with many issues in some cases. What it does is remove foods that people can react to placing you on a fairly restrictive diet. After about two weeks or so on the diet, you can usually tell if you think that food intollerances was causing the issue. If there is no improvment, little lost. I was very supprised what caused my depression when I narrowed it down to the chemical "amines" which naturally occurs in many foods, such as bananas and also in chocolate even meat that isn't that fresh. Now I just try to avoid foods with this chemical and I've noticed a huge improvment in myself.

  23. Whats wrong with you people? on Largest Scale Model of the Solar System · · Score: 1

    Everyones a troll here with the "DUPE!" syndrome. Even if it is a dupe, is it that bad? The old story said that it was nearly complete, this story simply tells us that the model has been dedicated.

  24. Better off on Hype Vaporware, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    I prefer realistic figures and advertising myself, but it doesn't sell products as well. I think enforcment of proper promotion of products is good, just like false advertising laws.

  25. Not duplicate post on Escher Paintings with Lego Bricks · · Score: 1

    To everyone claiming this post was on the same thing, they are wrong. Though it is the same web site the old article was about the mathimatical formations.
