  1. Fuck you, mods. on A New Elena Story · · Score: 1

    If you had RTFA, you would have noticed that most pics are fake or taken from the web / museums, postcards to make the trip seem "cooler". just like the last time.
    That is considered compulsive lying IMHO.

  2. Re:Does it really take that much effort? on Tech Reporter Pursues Spammer · · Score: 1

    haha. "which broadband provider so block". LOL
    How about ALL? Or do you think all people with vulnerable machines are grouped with one ISP, and the crackers only target one?

  3. Stuff on A New Elena Story · · Score: -1, Troll

    Like most said, this girl really likes to pose and lie to make herself look cooler. Pictures from chernobyl arent enough, she has to carry her helm with her and fake being there on motercycle.

    Here it seems the same... Most "found" seemed obviously placed into the dirt. Like the perfectly cleaned belt buckels and other stuff. They REALLY look like they were bought on some backyard sale from kids that scavanged them and taken back to the wood to make nice photos.
    Stuff like this CAN be found, but most of HER photos look faked.
    Sad, because its really interesting stuff, and would be cool without her notorious lying.

  4. Re:Eyes on Thin CRTs to Challenge LCDs in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I had both iiyamas and eizos as crts, and both did cost 2-3 times the money of budget CRTs. They were great.
    But now i got a good (eizo) LCD, and i would never go back. In fact i had my eizo crt on my desk a few months after i bought the lcd because i wanted to use both, but i noticed that after looking at the lcd for a few minutes, looking back to the crt it seemed like crap.
    So now the good old eizo is in the attic as a spare part...

  5. Re:Avoiding to piss off their consumer base? on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    are you an IDIOT?
    Try starting steam. takes 1 second.
    Try starting Farcry, doom3, ANY new high end game using GBs of textures and models and stuff: takes a minute or two.
    Now guess whats the reason for HL2 to take so long to start?
    If you are intelligent enough to do so (i doubt), open a process viewer and look at the "not there" activity of steam.exe and the cpu load and increase in memory footprint in hl2.exe during that waiting time.

  6. Re:Bandwidth. on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Thats clear. But i also think that the notation of "hdtv card for pc" and "standart pci" should be a hint that its about non-servers.

  7. Re:Bandwidth. on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 1

    But the nominal speed of pci is only reachable if you have only one device and can do maximum burst lenght, a thing that will never happen in the shared pci bus of a normal pc.

  8. Re:Bandwidth. on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I only see 64bit pci cards for hdtv and normal pci cards for normal tv on their site.
    Understandable, because your standart pci peaks at about 110-120MB/s, so its not even theoretically possible.

  9. Re:Summary error on Chinese Team Heading for Coldest Spot on Earth · · Score: 1

    imagine a non polar coordinate system. then you will get it :)

  10. Re:NASA sure has come a long way. on Mach 10 X43A Flight Successful · · Score: 1

    Well, i dont think this is interesting, because the SC before the RAMJET means "supersonic combustion". So i dont know how your 7fps scramjet should archieve this speed inside the burning chamber.
    Please enlighten me!

  11. Re:From Mexico on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 1

    ???
    What the fuck are you smoking.
    It will take about 6-18 hours to be cracked, spread via irc and then on torrent.
    Fakes and "crack" viruses exist for every game, but of course if the real game isnt released, you can only find fake files...
    when did YOU search for it, btw, and why? (as you are such an expert in searching for warez HL2?)

  12. And for what its worth.... on Intro to Encryption · · Score: 1

    I guess people will never realize that our sun hasnt enough energy to power the brute forcing a 256bit key and continue screaming "moores law will make it insecure!!!!111"

  13. Re:My Soapbox on Are Usability & Security Opposites in Computing? · · Score: 1

    Especially the nice fact that if the programm is ever compromised, everybody has a nice seed for his brute force cracker.

  14. Dont do it kids.... on Tech Giants Bankrolling IP Hoarding Start-Up · · Score: 1

    Or doesnt ring the phrase "The first to be put on the wall when the revolution comes" any bells?

  15. Re:Seen it! on Wal-Mart's Data Obsession · · Score: 1

    Hot swap? One push to release, pull out, put in bag, push in new one. ready. takes 30 seconds.
    500TB would be 5000-20000 disks (they could still use older/smaller ones). MBTF of 500.000h (they surely use server disks).
    Result: mean failure rate of max 1 per day.
    I dont think you need serveral full time jobs to do 1 minute of work per day

  16. Freezing can help on Creative Data Loss · · Score: 4, Informative

    for example the thermal shrinking can free heads sticking to the discs (the IBM problem). Or cold solder connections can work again.
    Its no repair, but a good trick to try to get the drive running for a hour or two to backup everything.

    What you say may be apply to known groups that have a name to lose, like money, devine, ect.

  20. Re:I've heard of this concept before... on Boeing Successfully Tests Anti-Missile Laser · · Score: 1

    Errrrrrrr
    You are wrong.
    Something like this existed 100s of years ago. It was called keep. or fortress. Back in times before gunpowder, nearly unsurpassable if done right.
    And it was used quite offensive, because not everybody could have one it was used as base of operation to plunder and pillage, then returning to a save haven where the others couldnt touch you.
    Dont you think havin a perfect shield to block wont increase the likelyhood of a president to push the button (or give order to bomb with planes,ect) because the others cant shoot back, anyway?

  21. Re:Colour..... on A Projection Display For Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    yeah, but dont forget: It isnt white, its just 3 emmission lines that look white on a perfect white surface.
    You still get chromatic aberation, dispersion,ect.
    Claiming that it is a "white laser" only gives people wrong ideas...

    Speak after me:
    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WHITE LASER.

  23. Re:Again I say I need MORE storage on Another Competitor for Blu-ray and HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    Just remember DVD isnt a backup either. My failure per GB per year is about 1000to1 in favour for hds. I had scores of cdr that became faulty, but i have yet to suffer a total HD loss. One near loss (increasing raw error rate) was just compensated by putting a new on in the array, rebuilt, go.
    If anything really BAD happens to take out the whole array, most likely the data loss doesnt really matter compared to other damages (really important stuff is mirrored to my notebook, too)

  24. Re:Where's the Beef? on Another Competitor for Blu-ray and HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    Well, i dont know either, but sony did get around its, so i guess they could too (especially after a bit of reverse engineering/ect :) ).

  25. Re:It doesn't matter on Another Competitor for Blu-ray and HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    i sleep 6-8 hours a day. Enough time to download a dvd with current adsl.
    I would rather pick a game before going to bed/work and find it ready when back than having to drive to a store.
    Or do you sit in front of your pc watching to progress bar?

    btw: who buys games at stores? they are most often overpriced and full of idiot leet gamer kidz. And downloading wins agains mail-order anyday.
