    His device is not designed to record everything, only to process the vision, which is what his in part what his doctor letter was specifying I'd wager. From his blog, it only recorded the latest images because they weren't overwritten by the image processing since it was damaged by that "perpetrator number 1".

    Just forget about the 1K and get those 30". I took the plunge in 2007 and I still adore those dell monitors - they totally were worth their 3k value :) Beside, it's the perfect width for a regular sized desk, which got to be a major selling point =)

    Sadly, this detector only gather 36.7 mPixels/second since it has a single photodetector. In comparison, at the UK olympics, videos will be filmed and displayed in 7680 x 4320 at 120 fps, a total of 3981.3 mPixels/second, or 100 times more than their 100 times faster camera!

    Why aren't browsers warning against certificates signed by this bad keychain ? They should all ban them.

  5. Re:Jesus, stop being pathetic! on Linux Users Banned From Diablo III Servers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They do test their game in wine themselves, they just don't want to have to support a linux crowd; sadly, not all linux users are power users, and supporting them is often quite problematic. I much favored helping newb windows user than linux newbs who though they were gods so I can understand them.

    Should have used sarcasm tags at least, just so that no one gets angry for nothing.

    yeah, that part is easy. Now, from the command line, can you provide something to extract the music from all the video listed at http://www.youtube.com/music, skipping ads ?

  12. Re:It's up to /. on Hacked Companies Fight Back With Controversial Steps · · Score: 1

    Well, we now have that nice little flag. Perhaps if we make good use of it some spam might get deleted one day ?

  13. Re:It's the advertising out of control on SPDY Not As Speedy As Hyped? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes you have multiple providers of ads and you must rotate them yourself in (which is nice as you know from whom you will request the ad), and sometimes even those providers fill in blanks for specific regions/ips or too many request for a user by using subproviders, so the final 'page in a page in a page' can be pretty long and ugly, and totally impossible to predict at the first server level.

  14. Re:It's the advertising out of control on SPDY Not As Speedy As Hyped? · · Score: 2

    Actually, a lot of sites refuses to load the content if the advertisement is not yet displayed to prevent showing the content for free; they prefer you to reload the page and obtain that advertisement rather than risk losing that display.

  15. Re:Christ... on Analyzing the New MacBook Pro · · Score: 1

    I`ve heard that the roman aqueducs can support an almost infinite refresh rate; the problem lies with your shitty laptop that can't run the game at a high enough fps for you, but even if it did, you would still be limited by your projector.

    Anyway.. =)

  16. Re:Huh? on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 1

    In the old times, it was well written and well known that using the software in a way that was not intended would result in a few hours ban after the first warning, increasing with frequency or problems. At that time I was using a fear to push flying mobs through an invalid area and I was then charging them from a very specific point, which yielded me a very nice view of the low levels that were just arriving in that new pvp area. A single arrow was taking care of them... oh well :)

  17. Re:That's *it* for me and Blizzard, man!! on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 2

    There are millions of tries for login into wow accounts. Are you positive you never used your password on any PC you weren't taking care of yourself ? Ever used the same password (even for a different login) onto another website which could have been hacked and their password brute-reversed ? Password dictionnaries are growing very fast and sadly if you are inactive for a few months that leaves a lot of time for someone to try and take back that account. Most importantly, were you using the authenticator ? So far all of my friends who got hacked, either while inactive or actively playing, failed to use the authenticator, either on IOS, android or the token. If this was truly an insider job, I believe they would not prevent themselves many good sales that they could achieve simply by disabling the authenticator!

    Oh well, wall of text is about to crit you so I'll stop there ;)

    Just in case, there`s an option, which I believe is in the gameplay tab, that requires you to invite your friend for them to be allowed to join in.

    In case it's really necessary, I was merely pointing out that you could barely kill approximately 34.77 millions canadians before no one would be left to judge you, quite far from the 2 billions kill count =)

  23. Re:Huh. on How Many Seconds Would It Take To Crack Your Password? · · Score: 2

    Optimizing the search space does not remove the components, it just search strategically through the whole ordeal. Just has searching through a-z is quite interesting because a lot of password are in there won`t prevent you from searching through aA-zZ afterward should the problem still not be solved.

  24. Re:Huh. on How Many Seconds Would It Take To Crack Your Password? · · Score: 2

    How can he assume there are no special characters ? Numbers ? If he can assume only lower+upper, should not he also be using a best guest distribution of the upper case letters ? While it can be a totally random password, most of the users won`t use those. As such, optimizing the problem can reduce the average percentage of the search space by a lot!

  25. Re:Huh. on How Many Seconds Would It Take To Crack Your Password? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the main problem is that you don't know what search space order the enemy might use. If he's using a-z up to 9 chars, then A-Z up to 9 chars, then a combination of both aA-zZ up to 9 chars, then add numbers 0-9 to the previous aA-zZ, before finally adding in symbols, then a simple password being $ would have searched through 62^9 + 33, not simply 33. Sure we need to simplify the problem to make it interesting for the users, but it`s akin to saying that the password zZzZzZzZz has a search space of 2^9. It`s much more simple with hindsight, beside, now I have a search space of 1^1 ! ;)
