  1. Furtado means "stolen" in Portuguese. on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 1

    It must be true, I read it on Wikipedia.

  2. Re:This is great news! (I bought this DVD set.) on Hundreds of Hours of BBS Documentary Interviews · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The ANSI scene was HUGE. ACID, CIA, i could go on. Wonder where people like Trident(CIA?) and Beastie(ACID) are these days... Trident ran Muerte, Beastie ran Channel Zer0 out of Texas.

    Actually, Channel Zer0 BBS was the ACiD western headquarters and operated out of Orange County, California. Beastie is now an executive at major storage and digital imaging corporation. I cannot personally speak for Trident, but Napalm, the last person to lead CIA, is a graphics designer for a large cable television network and creates his own tshirts and toys under the brand names Dead Zebra and Creatures in my Head.

  3. hax0r cons... in Canada? on Geeks as the Media at Notacon · · Score: 1

    Recon 2005 , a "reverse engineering and exploit development" con, takes place this June in Montreal, Quebec. It looks quite interesting, but conflicts with my attendance at the upcoming deviantART summit in Santa Monica, California.

  4. Re:Perhaps they should have played Wolf3D! on Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From Mike Tyson's Punch Out:

    Garret: "Mike Tyson" is bad publicity for this game.

    Parker: Nothing is bad publicity.

    Garret: Maybe Mr. T is Nintendo's marketing director. Mike Tyson was all like, "I'm gonna eat your dogs; I'm gonna eat your kids...."

    You're right. There's no way I could make up shit that good either, but no doubt the editors at Ziff Davis can. :)

  5. Re:2.8 Million, at 32 Items per second on Amazon Sales Record · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say that. Amazon takes a cut to the tune of ~ 55 percent from their Advantage program "partners". Thats one huge markup.

  6. Re:Someone didn't read the whole article! (Not Hoa on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 1

    The Lafayette man said he accomplished the trickery by taking 12 "base" photographs of the house with lights on and off and then constructed a Web page that appeared to show lights going on and off when the Web visitor clicked, but after performing web server stress testing, he replaced the test images with real-time camera generated images for the holiday season.

    Can you please cite your source for this quote? It does not say that anywhere on the main article.

  7. Newsflash: Santa ain't happy. on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "I apologize to those people who may be angry with me, but hopefully most will see the humor in the whole situation ... and realize that my attempt to bring joy and a smile to people's faces was successful"

    Personally I wasn't too impressed with the site to begin with, hoax or not. It didn't hold a candle to the likes of the Chaos Computer Club's Blinkenlights project.

  8. The girls... on Judge Rejects Guilty Plea From AOL Employee · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So tell me, does this judge have a daughter?

  9. Re:BAUDers? on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 2, Informative

    Baud is not an acronym. iirc

    That is correct, baud is named after the inventor of Baudot Code, Émile Baudot.

  10. BBS Documentary world premiere on VCF 7.0: BBS Bonanza in Bay Area · · Score: 4, Informative

    Tying into the underlying BBS theme this year, VCF will be hosting the first and only public screening of the long anticipated BBS Documentary which is due out on DVD late this year.

  11. MPAA False Accusations on MPAA Blames Linux Australia Notice on Human Error · · Score: 1

    The MPAA makes baseless threats and false claims of "infringement" all the time.

    It's nothing new.

  12. Underground Talk Shows on How to Podcast · · Score: 2, Informative
    This sounds like an excellent method to broadcast some of my favorite underground internet radio talk shows. :-)

    i.e.:

    The ARTS

    BinRev

    Default Radio

    Radio FreeK America

  13. So in other words... on Lexar JumpDrive Password Scheme Cracked · · Score: 1

    Lexar got haxXORed?

  14. Re: Obligatory George W. Bush reference... on Let the Mindgames Begin · · Score: 1

    Close your eyes for 30 seconds and try to think of absolutely nothing (no pictures, no sounds, no memories, and btw thinking "empty mind, relax, think nothing..nothing.." is still thinking. So 99.99% of you will fail this miserably- I guarantee it.

    Just... too... easy -- Must... resist...

  15. Re:hmm on Pilgrimage 2004 American Demoparty Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    Pilgrimage 2004 will be hosting a classic computer museum featuring demos running on original C64 and Amiga hardware (amongst several other oldschool machines), so an emulator should not be necessary. :-)

  16. The Product 3 on Pilgrimage 2004 American Demoparty Announced · · Score: 1

    Yes, there will be. Your article is officially overdue. :-)

  17. Quite the line up! on Fifth HOPE Conference Underway · · Score: 1

    HOPE is boasting quite an impressive lineup of folks this year. I hope they offer videos again for the folks who can't make it.

  18. Re:Ahhh... on DoJ - Making Data Public Would 'Crash System' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now wait a second! ...When did they upgrade from FoxPro?

  19. Re:His Exact words on Y2K !! on Computer Pioneer Bob Bemer Dies · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm here to warn you of the dangers that lie ahead for Y10K.

  20. Hacker Public Radio on Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are a great number of interesting underground talk radio shows which have sprung up as of late, many of which deal with network security, computer programming, software piracy, individual privacy issues, etc.

    I recommend the following shows:

    The ARTS: Artscene Radio Talk Show - show archive
    BinRev: Binary Revolution - show archive
    RFA: Radio Freek America - show archive

    and of course we can't forget Emmanuel Goldstein's Off the Hook which has shows dating back to 1988:
    2600's Off the Hook - show archive

    TEXTFILES.COM also stores a huge library of other radio shows and rants at its newly branded AUDIO.TEXTFILES.COM.

  21. Re:Not that impressive on Gmail Spam Filter Testing · · Score: 1

    POPfile has been working quite impressively with a very high success ratio. That is, until just recently (last week) -- there has been this severe influx of German spam lately and it's only nabbing about 50% of them. That's half of between 400-900 messages a day. :-Z

  22. On the contrary... on Gmail Spam Filter Testing · · Score: 1

    I've found GMail's filtering to be highly effective so far. I haven't received a single message yet.

    No, but seriously... I've used my gmail account for posting on Usenet newsgroups even and initially there was minor training to be done with the SPAM filter, and ever since then I have had to see a single UCE.

  23. I can wait... on Casio's Credit Card Watch · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm holding out for the JCB creditcard hand and forehead.
