  1. Re:Game Theory in fun and practice on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 1

    You're assuming that every user of a hacked bike will get a free ride. Not true.

  2. Re:Attack! on Lycos Anti-Spam Site Compromised [Updated] · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but that sure sounds like a DDOS to me.

  3. Re:Wake-On-LAN on Hacking The DS's Wireless · · Score: 2

    That would be one hell of a battery-drainer, though.

  4. Re:Horrible Writeup on Linus Interviewed · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You're kidding.

  5. Re:Google on Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I realized that after posting it.. the linked .txt file has a fixed version that'll handle dashes and numbers in the hostname. It still doesn't work with port numbers, though.

  6. Re:AVAST on Am I a Spam Zombie? · · Score: 1

    I use AVAST, it's great. Recommended.

  7. Re:Google on Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta · · Score: 5, Informative

    Talking about bookmarklets, I just wrote a quick little bookmarklet to redirect you to the Coral cache of the current page. Here it is:

    javascript:location.href=location.href.replace(/ht tp\:\/\/([a-zA-Z\.]+)\/(.*)/, "http://$1.nyud.net:8090/$2");void(0)

    And if slashdot's tendency to insert spaces in long strings screws that up, try grabbing it from here

  8. Re:Steam.... on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 3, Informative

    Steam doesn't charge a monthly fee.

  9. Yeah, except.. on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Preloading - Error
    The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle any more preloads of Half-Life 2.
    Please try again in a few hours
    [OK]

  10. Re:Grumble Grumble on Security-Updated Versions Of Mozilla Released · · Score: 1

    Good point. I never noticed that.

  11. Re:Grumble Grumble on Security-Updated Versions Of Mozilla Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I hod no problems just letting the installer overwrite my old Firefox directory. After it upgraded, all my extensions/bookmarks were still there.

  12. (another?) mirror on New Tool Cracks Apple's FairPlay DRM · · Score: 1

    Here's a copy on edonkey, it appears many sourceforge download sites are pulling the file:
    ed2k://|file|playfair-0.2.tar.gz|444241|526 CDEA1EF D77ECBBFFBF2D76B6DD8B3|/

  13. Re:Windows Messenger and/or Net Send on Cross-platform, Easy-to-Use Local LAN Chat? · · Score: 1

    I have seen high school students almost expelled for using net send *. Be VERY careful.

  14. Re:Strange on Nokia N-Gage Cracked · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually... Xbox uses a modified executable file format, and uses calls to custom routines in their modified win2k kernel in the executables. So it's harder to run them than you'd think. Though some work is being done in this area...

  15. Re:downlaod binaries on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    Try piping the output of "yes" into your rm command.

  16. Slashdotted on NASA's Cool Robot of the Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    You slashdotted NASA!

  17. Re:Alternate browser support on Is Linksys Violating The GPL? · · Score: 1

    Mine works just fine with Opera 6.05 on Windows XP.

  18. Re:Kind of weird.... on Wristwatch USB Drive · · Score: 1

    Take it off your wrist?

  19. Umm.. on AOL Bans Mail From DSL-Hosted Servers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot's RFC-ignorant too.. Bounces abuse@ emails.

  20. Re:Did they try it? on Longhorn M4 Build Review · · Score: 1

    Switch to Windows classic theme in the display control panel, then disable the service. No more non-square min/max/close buttons

  21. Re:Keep all the eye candy, thank you. on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Conundrum Software. Their Duality seems to be what you're looking for.

  22. Umm... on An Interstellar Lifeboat for Humanity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What would we do after we "evacuate" earth? Do we find a new planet to populate? I can't see anybody lasting long enough to get to a planet that is compatible with our biology.

  23. -1, Bullshit on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 1

    Actually, the non-soldered mod chip is "matrix" or "xodus" and it _does_ affect them too. Nice try.

  24. It still works... on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just disable your mod chip before you use Live. Some people have been reporting that it works fine for them. Be careful though - if you forget to disable it before logging in, your box will be banned permanently.

  25. I use... on Browsers Which Protect Your Privacy? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Opera and proxomitron. It allows me to filter out flash like everyone's complaining about, and you can set rules for just about everything sent and recieved. Very nice.
