  1. Prophecy in a Can on Gates: Hardware, Not Software, Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    It seems he might as well predict the war-machines of the future will stand up straight and walk on two legs. On the other hand, as programming languages become more and more modularized I really could see activating them and configuring them to be a simple matter of drag and drop, point and click.

  2. Cold Fusion on Nuclear Fusion Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    Here's a pdf of an article from Infinite Energy Magazine detailing "Scientific Misconduct at MIT in 1989" dealing with the verification of Drs. Fleischmann and Pons claim to have have jointly produced cold fusion at the University of Utah on March 23, 1989, among other things such as skepticism about the viability of hot fusion.

    I for one look forward to the day when I can articulate the practical and philosophical limitations of the Church-Turing thesis in a single non-recursive function and show the code-monkeys that the hypercomputation of eros transcends techne.

    Sorry, blackd.exe opened port 4000 at 5:17 gmt Mar.20, not Mar.19.

    It must be nice having benevolent cracker reflash your BIOS for you.

  6. My WinXP box got hit with this on "Witty" Worm Wrecks Computers · · Score: 3, Informative

    [accidently posted this in the hardware router anonymously] After running BlackICE for less than a week, curious to see for myself what it was capable of, I was unlucky enough to get hit with this and lucky enough to kill it after it ran for an hour and half (blackd.exe opened port 4000 locally at 5:17 gmt, Mar.19.) It doesn't appear to have done any damage though, certainlly not to my MBR (though if it randomly writes to any sector I don't think there was a chance of this,) but I'm certain it sent more than the 20,000 needed to trigger the junk data being written in the 90 minutes it ran. With no record of the packets it sent, I do have a record of nearly 10,000 angry ICMP responses, the bulk of which are from a single address which first caused me to believe my IP was being spoofed, but I suspect this represents a fraction of the addresses it successfully sent to (locally it attempted to send ~6GB at 10Mb/s.) Up until now I've never felt the need for a hardware router.
