  1. MSN Messenger on 'Babar' Malware Attributed To France · · Score: 1

    As long as my ICQ chats aren't vulnerable Im happy

  2. Didnt they themselves choose the seed table? on NSA Official: Supporting Backdoored Random Number Generator Was "Regrettable" · · Score: 1

    Little more than just suspecting if so

  3. America has it's independance day - time for us on Scotland's Independence Vote Could Shake Up Industry · · Score: 1

    Looked into it a lot - can't wait to take ownership of our own country.

  4. Another World / Out Of This World on FreeDOS Is 20 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Amazing game in all ways

  5. In Dolby Where Available on 5.1 Earthquake Hits California · · Score: 2

    Though would prefer 7.1

  6. The answer ... 4TB drives are cheap enough on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    Multiple 4TB drives. Best you can do.

  7. Not big enough when 4TB drives are so cheap on Sony & Panasonic Next-Gen Optical Discs Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    ... for general data use. I remember when people had 420mb hard drives and CDRs came out with 650mb of space for a few quid each! Instant full backups for cheap. Would need 27 of these new discs per 4TB drive for the same scenario today.

  8. 160 x BD-R 25GB discs per 4TB HDD ? on Facebook Puts 10,000 Blu-ray Discs In Low-Power Storage System · · Score: 1

    No matter what way you spin that (no pun intended) it doesnt sound all that clever. The physical space to store 160 discs would be far greater than to store a disconnected HDD.

  9. Oh dear - do they sell anti bot help for us all ? on Bots Now Account For 61% of Net Traffic · · Score: 1

    Could be quite useful

  10. Re:Already Got One on Can Even Apple Make a Watch Insanely Smart? · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. Nokia went to the dogs around the N95 on Nokia Insider On Why It Failed and Why Apple Could Be Next · · Score: 1

    I had everything from the NK702, 6210, 6310i, 7250i, 6630 and N95. The N95 was buggy as hell only fixed in the 8GB edition but then the N97 was a dog and so on. Nokia wanting paying users to be beta testers is what I feel killed them. Bit like I feel about the Pebble watch I bought that doesnt really work.

  12. Not really overclocking is it? on Intel Plans 'Overclocking' Capability On SSDs · · Score: 1

    Its just unlocking more of the safety margin for general use. Either way, an OC'd CPU might fall over and you lose an online game - a FUBAR'd overclocked SSD could result in bye bye all your data.

  13. All kinds of gains on Public Facial Recognition Is Making Gains In Surveillance · · Score: 1

    ... obligatory Hodgetwins reference - bitches.

  14. Re:Terrible Video on Canon Shows the Most Sensitive Camera Sensor In the World · · Score: 1

    Superb comment! Fully agree, first thing I thought was why are they using a video that looks like its recorded from a Logitech golf ball webcam from 1994 to showcase this amazing new video tech ... then edited it in Movie maker

  15. I had a similar idea - ThroatTube (TM) on Dean Kamen Invents Stomach Pump For Dieters · · Score: 1

    Slides down the throat and makes you thow up but would avoid the acid burning your throat, mouth, teeth. Another great drunk idea stolen!

  16. Forums are starting to die off on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 1

    ...unfortunately. Facebook groups seem to be the in thing for convenience with users. That said phpBB and vBulletin are the way to go.

  17. Re:One click for $235 on Calculating the Cost of Full Disk Encryption · · Score: 1

    Glad I didnt quote him then ;) Using a stop watch though does seem to fall within his abilities ... barely.

  18. Re:One click for $235 on Calculating the Cost of Full Disk Encryption · · Score: 2, Informative

    It wont really, GRC.com did a test a good few years ago and showed not much difference and newer chips have AES-256 instructions built in so its a no brainer.

  19. Kindle Touch plays back video? on State Dept. Cancels $16.5M Kindle Contract · · Score: 1

    Hadnt noticed that before!

  20. ESET not liking that source file - malware detecte on Dark Reign 2 Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    In the ad system

  21. Screw TomTom on TomTom Flames OpenStreetMap · · Score: 1

    I bought my first TomTom (and last) a year ago, was instantly out of date map wise missing some fairly major chunks of motorway network that had been completed locally 6 months before purchase. No new maps were sent only tiny small updates. Khants the lot of them.

  22. Really bad video - content and production value on Electronic Glitch Artwork Made by 'Weirdos Within the Weirdos' (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm not elitest but I really expected more from /. and their videos. I got to about 3 minutes in before actually seeing anything and the stuttering and stammering of the guy with the modded PS1 and PS2 crippled any remaining interest. For a tech site the production of the video was really low too. Up your game folks!

  23. Re:yea and on Demoscene: 64k Intros At Revision Demoparty · · Score: 1

    Yea and nVidia have been bringing out new video cards for over a decade ... still see the geekdom getting boners for the latest and greatest.

  24. Wow! on Demoscene: 64k Intros At Revision Demoparty · · Score: 1

    I remember the Fishtro from Future Crew exactly 20 years ago and it was 220k! (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1283) this is breathtaking stuff. Magic!

  25. Yo Blair! on Technical Glitch Lets Reporters Eavesdrop On Obama, Sarkozy · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Geo Bushwhacker II and his "Yo Blair!"
