  1. Re:Google is officially evil on Google & Sun Planning Web Office · · Score: 2, Informative

    IDIOT.

    Taiwan is NOT a province of China.

    All the latest Chinese government did was "free" them from the Japanese rule (which wasnt a pleasant time either), but instead of actually liberating the Taiwanese, the Chinese did the exact same as what the Japanese were doing! They kept marital law in place, killed many familes, and basically treated Taiwan like shit.

    Who are you to make such a bold and infuriating statement to any Taiwanese? Have you even visited the island? Have you spoke with anyone who was alive during this oppression?

  5. Huge waste of 33 billion? on Korea To Build Front-line Combat Robot · · Score: 1

    Would a small number of humans not be able to take these out from a distance using existing technology, such as an EMP or directed microwave?

    Also, what happens if someone hacks the controlling mechanism and turns them against the Koreans?

    I dont think our existing technology is going to be powerful enough for something this complex.

    What if u dig a trench all the way across the North/South Korea border? Will these become useless in an invasion?

  6. Re:What apple should do now on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    Size of the iPod never really mattered to me, the 30 GB photo is small enough.

    Unless you are running, you dont want people staring at the massive bulge in your short shorts, and you dont want a hard drive (flash memory handles the bouncing around a lot better)

    Then you do want a nano and not a ipod photo

    I wonder if someone could counter-sue them for defamation of character or whatever if they were mistakenly sued by the RIAA...

    Defamation requires a party to LIE about another party which results in some sort of loss. They could simply say they really did think you were stealing music, and it wont result in any losses for you to claim anyways.

    He claims he was able to view a "large image" over "graphical remote control", but he didn't have any proof because it was "too large to download".
    Well perhaps that local computer could render a zoomed out view, and then just transmit the resolution of that machine to you.

    But that did sound a bit flunky.

    Frankly, I think this guy is a bit of an idiot, his "hacking" could be done by a 3 year old, the government is definitely at fault for running windows that defaults to blank admin passes.

    I recently discovered my admin pass was blank, and thought how could I be that dumb?
    Well windows was already installed on this laptop when I got it, and I just had to add my account when I first booted. What a blatent lapse of security, why would windows allow any password to be blank, especially the admin pass?

    He says he is just a geek
    He says he didnt damage systems, but the US gov considers it damage if you even have to make changes once you know the system is comprimised
    He was a hairdresser, then got an "Access certification"
    Then he started doing research in UFO research
    He believes there is anti-gravity propulsion that was recovered by alien spacecraft
    He continues sounding like a nut about UFO technology that the USA now uses
    Claims he wants to provide the free energy that the US army uses to the rest of the world
    He "hacked" by accessing computers with blank admin passes (windoze)
    Allegedly there was mulitple people on the same networks
    Haha...he knows this from netstat, there was connections all over
    Apparently he found proof because people were airbrushing out UFO's from satellite images
    Also an excel spreadsheet with "non terrestrial officers" on the list
    Hahahahahaha she asked if he was doing a lot of drugs during this time, and he said he was smoking a bit of weed
    He stopped washing himself at one point he said
    He left his job and lost his girlfriend
    But he lived with that girlfriend even afterwords (what a pimp!)
    Somehow they bring Iraq and 9/11 into this
    He got busted after playing videogames all night
    Americans started talking about extradition, so thats when he was getting concerned, it somehow jumped from 2 years to 4 years to 18 years to 70 years.
    He thinks he is a scapegoat for all the hacking going on

    . For example, part of the encryption algorithms are not typically made available to the open source community, because you don't want people discovering flaws in the encryption.

    RSA

    If you can find a flaw in RSA after seeing code for it, you are a genius and deserve a math award for discovered some new prime number technique

  18. Re:Overgeneralization on Paul Graham: Hiring is Obsolete · · Score: 1

    He says barriers to entry of startups is low. Wrong. Barriers to entry of web services is low; most other startups still require huge infusions of capital, e.g. anybody that wants to do actual manufacturing or sell actual hardware.

    I would like to see an actual comparison of prices to start a company 50 years ago and now. Costs are soooooo low for starting any type of web based or tech based companies, hell even hardware you can get produced in Taiwan for 5$ a unit.

    Why should bigger companies buy startups when they can just partner with them or outsource company services to them?

    RTFA? He said even a company as large as Microsoft could not handle a lot of seperate projects, and why not buy a successful project instead of failing 10 yourself?

    Apparently Mr. Graham thinks most students graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in the bank and can afford to not have any income for several years. I've got about $130,000 in student loans that say otherwise...

    Well all I can say is "HAHA!". Maybe some of the expensive American schools really are not worth the money? I recieved no money from outside sources and supported myself throughout school including tution.

  20. Re:MS Paint on Why Did Adobe Buy Macromedia? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I read an interesting article about software companies. It stated that you can never underestimate a competitor, even if they are not currently a direct competitor, that can put hundreds of millions of profit into the bank every quarter.

    What if Microsoft did try to directly compete with Adobe? They WOULD be successful despite their product's quality, they have a massive market grip on the entire software field.

    Microsoft does not make amazing software that does things nobody else can. Microsoft provides a massive sales push for any product they decide to develop, which usually is similar to another existing piece of software.

    Look at Office vs Wordperfect, Excel vs Lotus, etc.

    So, I disagree with Dvorak. You do need to worry about Microsoft, no matter where you are in the software field, if you are a large (read multi billion dollar) company

    With creationism snaking its way into science curriculums and environmental issues (e.g., global warming, ocean dead zones, etc.) being pretty much ignored in the good old USA, it's as good a time as any for scientists to say "aw, fuck it!"

    Ummm...creationism belongs in science curriculums! Students should be presented with both sides. It should be up to them to decide if some magical evolutional THEORY is true, or if they believe the CORRECT historical accounts of talking snakes in gardens. I thought we were mature enough as a society to throw out such outrageous theories like creationism. If I had my way, the Pythagorean theorem would also not be taught!

    And for global warming....what global warming!!! It is still cold in the winter! Burning millions of tons of fossil fuels daily couldn't impact our earth! It is large! Chunks of coal are small!
