  1. Not anymore! on Multiplayer Space Quest in a Browser · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Well they aren't fast anymore! /.ed :P

  2. My ass on Engrish LOTR: The Two Towers Captions · · Score: 0

    Well here's a classic:
    "Bring your pussy face to my ass" (http://home.online.no/~gremmem/engrish_ttt_captio ns/80-100/two-towers-06.jpg)

    Oh and by the way, the Japanese language doesn't (natively) have an 'l' sound, so when people say sounds with 'l's, they substitute it with one of the ra set (ra ri ru re ro), and so I'm betting that's how "Engrish" was born.

    Mmmmmmm... ignorance..

  3. Drawbacks for the industry on Infinite Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately making games that extend themselves will have some drawbacks for the game industry. If one had to simply buy one game which could evolve as it pleased, instead of buying multiple, specialized games (non-evolving), many game developers would be out a lot of money.

    I think that development on this field in the games industry will be hindered, if not stopped (for a while, at least), as the CEO's wouldn't want their salary to go down.

  4. /.ed on Who Owns Your Digital Media? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Support by making a link to eff.org on slashdot!

    Show them you care by setting their webservers aflame!

  5. Building block on TWIRL: Are 1024-bit RSA Keys Unsafe? · · Score: 1

    Even though $10M and a year sound a bit ridiculous, this is actually a huge discovery.

    Ok, so Mr. AvgJoe won't be able to crack your encrypted post to a linux-devel mailing list... but in a short while, someone might improve upon this technology to make it more feasable for the average-sized company to use (few thousand dollars, less than a month).

    This is just a building block!

  6. Claustrophobia on Personal Submarine Cruises SF Bay · · Score: 1

    Looks neat, but theres so little room! Even the most non-claustrophobic people would get worried after being far under water for long periods of time without being able to move around at all.

    If they made it into more of a compartment (like subs today use), I think it would become much more practical.

  7. security.debian.org down on University of Twente NOC Destroyed · · Score: 1

    And in unrelated news, a huge hole was uncovered in Debian systems today, allowing anyone, from anywhere, to gain root access simply by connecting to port 80 on the machine.

  8. GUI - Simplicity, Desktop, Speed on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I use Debian (and sometimes FreeBSD) for almost every server, and if not, then some other unix variant.

    However, for my desktop machine, I'd really rather keep it simple. Explorer (the shell) is pretty unstable, but its very well organized. That, and the way the desktop interacts with the filesystem (I use the desktop as a temporary directory, pretty much), pretty much make up why I don't use linux on my desktop.

    Lindows looks promising, but I don't want to screw around with a half-windows, half-linux OS. Are there any window managers or display managers that can give me simplicity, and SPEED, while integrating nicely? If there is, I'd be more than happy to kiss my windows installation good-bye!

  9. Change the port on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You could change the port that your p2p client uses. That would allow you to circumvent their packet shaper for some time. However, be warned that doing this will only start a war with the CNS (computer networking services) guys, and will end up badly.

    How about, you just don't use P2P?

  10. Not zesty on OSI Approves Two New Licenses · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know about other peoples' views, but I don't think that restricting people's freedom of action (ie, saying you can't sue for patents, software with this license, or all your software will be illegal) is what OSI is all about. Licenses like this lead to things like Microsoft EULAs -- it's only a matter of time.
