  1. Re:initial state of cube? on Rubik's Cube Record Broken · · Score: 2, Informative

    In some competitions you are allowed to examine the cube before actually moving parts... So this might be the case.

    If i'm not mistaken, the fastest for a pre-examined cube is something like 9 secs.

  2. Re:Stop spreading lies on GUI Toolkits for the X Window System · · Score: 1

    "How big is Qt?"
    10mb download for the whole devel pack.
    The library needed to run a prog is zipped to 1.3mb.

    (These number refer to the GPL Win32 Qt 2.3.0)

  3. Re:Valid Defense? on Kiddie Porn - The Virus Did It · · Score: 1

    Something that actually happens ALOT is computers that get hacked, get FTP servers installed and used as dump-sites for warez. How can you prove it wasn't you who actually downloaded all these files?

    XMMS and MPlayer if i'm on *nix
    and WinAmp and MPlayer if i'm on Win.

    Ok... I agree a general exploit can be used.. for example some buffer overflow according to the data in the file. I am 99% sure the all these programs know to not execute data from the code.. About bugs? I'm pretty sure the XMMS and MPlayer teams fix them as soon as they appear. Also, one might assume that the most popular MP3 player (Winamp) team will do their best to fix these xploits.

    Question, really.... How can one get infected by playing an MP3 or a DivX file? Neither have macros or anything executable in them. Or Do they?

  7. Re:BitTorrent's use on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    So maybe instead of having a really "decentrelized" tracker, just let the tracker site owners set a number of trackers. Meaning, the choise of trackers is done by the first tracker owner. A sysadmin can place several same trackers on his own network to take the load off the other machines, however, it is all still his machines, as the first tracker was.

  12. Re:please stop, think of the children! on Fun is Fine - Toward a Philosophy of Game Design · · Score: 1

    Of Star Wars games I can only think of a couple, which include the Dark Forces series (DF, DF2:JK, JK2:o) which are truly excellent. And the XWing series which, even though I haven't played, friends of mine have and enjoyed every bit of it.

    And SWG is going to simply rule.

  14. Re:I don't get it. on One-Thumb Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Just for the note, Sugoi has more than one meaning.
    It also means (taken from the EDict):
    (adj) terrible, dreadful, terrific, amazing, great, wonderful, to a great extent, (P)

    Yes, it means both "wonderful" and "terrible" (however, when trying to say terrible they usually use "hidoi").

  16. Re:True or not, does it really matter? on Will Microsoft Subsidize WinXP For Lindows Buyers? · · Score: 1

    Why not? Because people that try Lindows and get burnt because of it (in a way they might not get burnt from another Linux distro), then they say: "Linux is bad!", "Windows is better than Linux!", "Linux costs money aswell!", "Linux has these annoying 'click here to buy this feature' buttons"...
    They WILL spread bad things about Linux even though their grudge is specifically towards Lindows! Other people will then spread it more until it gets to some stupid person with alot of influence (like a TV person or a popular news person) and they will say: "Linux sucks" while they didn't even try LINUX itself, but a bastardize version called Lindows, and by that make people think Linux=bad, without them even trying.
    Moreover, people I know say "linux sucks" just because they didn't like the GUI. They shouldn't say "Linux sucks". What they can say is "my linux experience sucked".
