  1. Old news on Dangerous VBulletin Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is old news (2013-08-27) even by Slashdot's standards. Forums that were vulnerable have been probably all hacked (then fixed) already ;)

  2. Re:history repats itself on China Third Country To Be Hit By 'Brown Tide' · · Score: 2

    next, the golden shower ...

  3. Re:Well, it's not Black! on Treating Depression With Electrodes Inside the Brain · · Score: 1

    What's with the current trolling wave on Slashdot? At least they could sign, like the GNAA did.

  4. nuclear or unclear ? on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 1

    Just to disturb the dyslexics out there :)

  5. Forza Italia! on Agile Quadruped Robot Unveiled By Italian Roboticists · · Score: 2

    Kudos to them! Will it be powered by the new italian "cold fusion" device also seen on Slashdot today ? :)

  6. Re:Problem of perception? on Mozilla MemShrink Set To Fix Firefox Memory · · Score: 1

    Most people seem to have this mindset that using RAM is bad, and the more memory you have free and unused the faster your computer will be.

    Try FF3 or 4 on a computer like I have at work (Windows XP, 2GB) and you will surely change your it-works-for-me-you-ignorant mindset. With FF you are *always* running out of RAM. If only there were *good* NoScript and AdBlock clones elsewhere ...

  7. Re:More difficult to optimize? on Adobe Adopts HTTP Live Streaming For iOS · · Score: 1

    With HTTP streaming you can rely on a pool of beefy reverse proxies like Varnish or Nginx to handle the load, or let the CDN handle it as any normal HTTP traffic.

    HTTP is relatively common and relatively easy to handle/debug. I'd prefer not having to study another protocol ;)

    Now, the interesting stuff is to provide Apple's HTTP streaming, MS' Smooth streaming and any other HTTP, chunk-based protocol from the same, unchunked video file using a webserver plugin to do the chunking on the fly. I know about the Unified Streaming Platform, but there doesn't seem to be many players in that field right now ;)

  8. Godzilla incoming ! on Nuclear Emergency Declared At 2 Plants In Japan · · Score: 1, Funny

    Japan ? Check.
    Nuclear stuff ? Check.

    'nuff said.

  9. Does Netcraft confirm it ? on Split Screen Co-op Is Dying · · Score: 1

    n/t

  10. Re:Good for databases on The Real Truth About Oracle's 'New' Kernel · · Score: 1

    dstat is certainly fancy but doesn't provide more than iostat (from sysstat package), that is per-disk (or even partitions and NFS mounts) I/O activity.

    iotop would bring *per thread* I/O activity, which can be a very useful tool sometimes.

  11. Re:So now the computer starts looking at me? on Canonical Designer Demos Ubuntu Context-Aware UI · · Score: 1

    I heard this used to be the way in Soviet Russia ...

  12. Re:Low Slashdot IDs Please Post Here on Apple Sued For Using Tabs In OS X Tiger · · Score: 1

    Hi, my ID is lower than 2^16. Oddly I never changed my email address from that time, so it's invalid for a long time now.

  13. Re:FINDER IS SUK. on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 1

    nope, it's:
    FINDER IS TEH SUK

  14. Buy Seagate HDD on 5 Simple Steps to a Quieter PC · · Score: 1

    Much quieter PC since I replaced Maxtors and Western Digitals with 200GB ATA Seagates.

  15. No, it's not addictive on Online Gaming Addictive? · · Score: 1

    I can stop whenever I want.

  16. Back in the time ... on Mac mini Maximized With 3.5" Drives · · Score: 1

    We did the same with Amiga 1200 that had an internal slot for 2.5" HDD: using a custom made 2.5" to 3.5" ribbon, and either stuffing the bigger disk into the case, or like i did, plug a hole on the back to make the ribbon go outside and plug the 3.5" disk, using also a PC power supply for the external 2 GB HDD (and later, 4x CDROM !). Not very nice (using the top of a Verbatim floppies packing to support the psu switch, and the box of an accelerator card to fit the HDD into) but it still works :)

  17. Re:What's the point? on Breakthrough In JPEG Compression · · Score: 1

    "the cheap biatch cant get broadband ?" ;)

  18. Re:Oh well... on NASA Details Earthquake Effects on the Earth · · Score: 1

    A few more billions tsunami, and the much wanted 48 hours day is there, at last !

  19. Re:Finally a voice of reason on Porn Industry Mulls Next Generation-DVD · · Score: 0

    "porn just can't stand up to such high quality images" ? that's BS. Imagine sexual organs and nipples in hi resolution ... now that rules. More vivid than ever !

  20. Cybernetic Prostitutes for Amputees on Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees · · Score: 1

    That's what I read at first.

    Cool, we'll have the winners by 2008 :)

  22. In a few years ... on Google To Digitize Much of Harvard's Library · · Score: 1

    I think Google will start a project codenamed GSkyNet or something ...

  23. buzzword on Microsoft To Launch Homegrown Search Engine · · Score: 1

    "algorithmic search engine" ... now that sounds good :)

  24. Re:If you had ordered the CD's... on OpenBSD 3.6 Released! · · Score: 1

    You are actually using more rules than you really need to, as you can combine the rdr and the pass rules:

    ## Webserver (http/https)
    rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port http -> 10.0.0.8 port http
    rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port https -> 10.0.0.8 port https

    But it seems that by using the rdr pass, you can't log, which he did in his second rules.
    Besides he already used the rdr pass for spamd and ftp proxy so he knows about it.
  25. Re:I've seen this before... on Gentoo Ricer Comparison · · Score: 1

    Sure, I have to wait for the new things I get, but I'd rather "emerge mplayer" instead of hunting for the binaries.

    You can use a packaged distro and compile/install some packages from source in /usr/local. In fact I just do this for mplayer.
