  6. like apples and oranges on Mariposa Botnet Beheaded · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The Mariposa botnet, which has been dismantled, was easily one of the world's biggest. It spread to more than 190 countries, according to researchers. It also appears to be far more sophisticated than the botnet that was used to hack into Google Inc. and other companies in the attack that led Google to threaten to pull out of China." ----- Wait, what? This was written by the AP's "technology writer". I guess he doesn't read /.? The Google attack was not a botnet.

  13. Re:Are we talking Pr0n or Tax Receipts here? on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 1

    If you're just want a convenient backup of your music collection, porn collection, musical pr0n collection, or your pr0n musical collection then RAID is not a horrible thing.

    No No No. Say it with me slowly. RAID is not a backup. Ever. Now say it a few more times to let it burn in. Also leaving something with the lawyer is about as safe as the RAID 0 array you employ. (Apologies to NYCL)

  22. Looks like Carmack was wrong on id Software Working on New Title · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=116699&cid=987 6672 "I am extremely proud of Doom 3. I think it is the best game we have ever made, and it exceeded all of my expectations. That is a rather trite phrase, but it is literally true -- I had a good set of expectations for how the game would turn out based on the technologies that it was built on, and it wound up being just plain better than that. We think a lot of people will like it. I don't follow gaming message boards, because, at its best, entertainment is going to be a subjective thing that can't win for everyone, while at worst, a particular game just becomes a random symbol for petty tribal behavior. This slashdot story is about as close as I want to go... Amidst all the various Doom ports and expansions, we are starting up on our next game. It will have a new rendering engine, which will be keeping me busy for a while, but the only other thing we are saying for now is that it won't be a sequel to any of our previous work. We have a really solid team that did a lot of maturing through Doom's development, so I have high hopes that it won't be another four year odyssey. John Carmack"
