they were able to get a much wider color gamut than traditional RGB monitors
So what do these new colours look like?
(If that seems ignorant, it probably is. I don't even know what a gamut is, I'm just assuming a wider one gives more colour, even though the idea of >4billion colours (32bit) seems unnecessary to me:)
One wonders - if articles like this come up more often, how long until it becomes the norm (ie >50% of people do it) for people to RTFA? Maybe we'll just end up with a new class of "Glanced At The Fantastic Article"...
Linux (FC2) has had 3 0-day exploits, average time 6 days? wha? And they explicitly don't count rootkits, so it's only an upfront cost of 0wnership, not a/total/ cost of 0wnership...
The means of display is irrelevant - it's whether there's a connection between their transmitter and your reciever that's important (no idea how they check though...)
On a related note, I've been thinking about setting my firewall / router box to have some automated defence things, along the lines of "if the same IP opens >5 connections to port 22 per minute (ie they're probably brute forcing passwords), block them, traceroute them, and add the output to my 'attackers to check out' list" - any ideas how I'd go about this? Ideally I'd like a scriptable userspace daemon version of iptables, but I know not of any such thing...
Joe Average doesn't want to play with puppies and do his hair; Maybe Jane Average doesn't want to play with computers all day? Given that men and women are biologically different, are statistics saying that they have differing interests really that surprising?
When the percentage of female geeks is noticably less than female mechanics or builders, *then* I'll be surprised.
I'm all for female geeks, but I'd rather not force them in the name of political correctness.
PNG + broadband + huge disks is quite acceptable, and will only get more acceptable as time goes on.
JPEG 2k is much like jpeg, but you can get the same quality in 1/5th the file size. Also you can set it to be lossless, which gives better compression of photos than PNG does.
Smart people: Spend all day doing things they enjoy, occasionaly getting paid for it, result = $ +:)
Stupid people: Spend all day eating lard, end up terribly ill and unable to do anything worthwhile, sue the companies for not sticking a "lard makes you fat" sticker on their products, result = $$$$$ +:(
So what matters more in modern society; money or happiness?
It seems that in many ways, life has become about knowing how to consume rather than how to create, and that depresses me:(

You call that a sniper rifle? THIS is a sniper rifle!
It is compiled to Java byte code which is interpreted
No, it's compiled to bytecode for distribution, and then compiled to binary on the fly whenever you run it. Java could be the same speed as C++, it's just that Sun haven't done as much optimisation as the GCC guys have.
So until the record companies listen to our complaints, how can one take the over-amped music and turn it into something less painful?
The best I've found is to import the track into audacity and apply a high pass filter; normally the tracks can put me in physical pain after 30 seconds or so, but after high pass filtering I can have the track looped for 15 minutes or so before I have to change to a less painful piece.
I'm really not an expert in audio, and the above just came from random applying of filters - is there anything better that can be done?
So I was registering realplayer, but they wanted an email address - I tried loads of things like go@away.com, fuck@you.net, realplayer@sucks.com, i.hate.realplayer@hate.com, and it took about 30 attempts to find a free address...
I got OS confusion to work with no kernel hacks - I have a windows (98) box as my gateway, with ports forwarded to all my linux (2.6) boxen behind it - the mix of windows replies and forwarded linux replies results thusly:

What if the old arguments are still right?
All the kid pix on my box run fine as non-admin. But then they're .jpg rather than .exe...

And we should be able to mod posters as "Didn't RTFA" / "RTFA, but didn't get that it was a joke"...
What if you want to watch TV on the toilet o_O?

But wait; this uses a computer, so it's an entirely new concept... never mind.
I always thought you were a wanker if you masturbated. Oh well, you learn something new every day, eh? ._.
The official version:
// haha, morons XD
// sleep 5;
func checkpass(user, pass) {
sleep 5;
return(md5(pass) == getHash(user));
}
The cracker's version:
func checkpass(user, pass) {
return(md5(pass) == getHash(user));
}

eg. I'm running 3 500MHz boxes and 2 266es, all taken from other people's bins, bargain and otherwise :)
Anyone got a mirror of the tracker?
Also, w3m is a text browser with image support (no idea how, but it works)
