  1. Re:NTLM Authentication prior to 1.4 on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 2, Informative

    I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that to use NTLM authentication (over http) you have to implement the challenge response algorithm over special http headers (in addition to "NTLM" being specified as the authentication method). So I don't know what you mean by 'you could always do this.'

  3. Re:Obvious...? on LCD Screens Almost Paper-thin · · Score: 1

    Your sig is so appropriate for your banal post...it's also quite ironic it that you try for a ;funny'; mod in making fun of others who jump to using the 'porn' angle to get a 'funny' mod. This is speculation, obviously. Oh wait: ;)

  4. Re:Cool on LCD Screens Almost Paper-thin · · Score: 1

    Well with advancments like this, the price will go down. One day LCDs will be paper thin high resolution color that are like $20.

    Yes, maybe the price will go down, but these screens would be great for places like subways, or presentation displays for offices.

    As to uses.. well thank god that I won't have to have all the pr0n mags laying around any more! ;)

    Tying everything to pornography (and especially spelling it that way) get quite annoying after a while, and it is usually jsut not real funny anymore.

    Anywhere you would need a thin screen. e-newspapers, bathroom walls, clothes that have a display pattern, easy to move signs/signals, etc. Read the article for petes sake, lex!

    By "butchering" do you mean something along the lines of sentence fragments? How embarrassing for you, I expect.

    A lot of game development involves pushing the boundaries

    Don't forget they require you to 'think outside the box', by 'reaching a new level of immersion', 'extending gameplay dynamics', and ...ack i just had a gag reflex kick in for no reason. i'll get back some more vapid catchphrases later...;)

  8. Doh! indeed... on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    He's not making a false statement, he's stating his opinion.

    Stating that all rap music consists of samples with "with a bit of a drum machine loop and muttering some rhymes on top of it" is *maybe* his opinion, but regardless, he's trying to pass this off as fact. That's what I was highlighting to point out his shitty resoning trying to invalidate an entire genre of original, important, and creative music.

    Additionally, and most importantly, it wasn't even the case that I said him saying "rap wasn't creative". That WOULD be an opinion.

    You should read the whole post carefully before replying.

    Doh! I forgot, this is Slashdot.

    That wasn't denied. Stop not thinking. And hold yor knee.

  10. Re:you mean napster? on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    We have samples being stolen, but we have parody at work.

    OK, let's say he purposefully stole that sample, then I agree money should obviously paid (even though I think it should be on a sliding scale given that a sample is usually short and not an entire "work"). What I don't agree with is that, it is debatable that if it was this Backstroking sample that was taken or whether Dre created it himself. But IMO it is NOT debatable if I take someone's work give away copies. Just my opinion on the matter.

  11. Re:Right back at ya on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    As for hip hop...well, I have a hard time saying the phrase rap music...I think the terms are mutually exclusive.

    This is a generalization, and a misleading statement. You say that rap music is something of an oxymoron and then you rationalize this by: "Splicing together a bunch of samples of old music, with a bit of a drum machine loop and muttering some rhymes on top of it, is hardly art or music in my opinion". You're making a false statement saying "sampling is not creative" and drawing "all rap consists of sampling" therefore "rap is not creative and not music" (BTW, I used quotes to paraphrase your specious logic. don't think I was quoting you directly)

  12. Re:You're being stupid on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, you are not using the same logic. Sampling a tune, melody, or any work for that matter, may be legal even if you don't ask for explicit permission. If it's not legal, then he should pay the royalties for using someone else's tune. (IMO, copyrighting a short tune it sort of silly). Taking Dres music and simply serving it to the planet is not.

    So using this amazing logic: I can't just steal $1000 from a bank, but it should be ok for me to visit 100 banks and remove one $10 bill from each of them right?

    You are making the mistake of thinking that if you can draw an analogy, then it must be correct.

  13. you mean napster? on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you're referring to Dre and Napster, but he was annoyed about people knowingly stealing and distributing his music, this seems, at best, about him "stealing" a *sample*. There's a big difference IMHO.

    It's probably easier to defend "I didn't know I needed to pay royalties for this sample" versus "I accidentaly shared my entire (probably stolen) music collection of MP3s with the world".

  18. Re:Police Quest on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Ah police quest was so neat! It was linear but the way that you had to go get your gear, take a shower and get on your uniform, make it in time for briefings and all while following procedure made it feel real and like you could interact with anything. Also, maybe having to type the commands made it feel more open-ended? I remember waiting for a meeting to start and picking up and reading the paper (sure it was the same every game).

    I also remember that creepy music that played after you've pulled over the guy in the light blue car -- and you see the partial plate number so you know it may be the killer. Now I'm supposed to call backup and ...

    I remember this cool part where you had to disguise yourself as a pimp (or something) and play cards with the criminals in the hotel.
