  1. Hire somebody on Circuit Board Design For a Small Startup? · · Score: 1

    Quit fucking around on Slashdot and hire a hardware designer. It doesn't even have to be an EE. Right now hobbyists are going from idea to product without any formal training.

  2. Cold boot team responds on Solution Against Cold Boot Attack In the Making · · Score: 1
    Hack a Day asked cold boot team member Jacob Appelbaum what he thought of the approach.

    Here's Jake's unedited response:

    Yeah, it's not a solution. It simply seeks to make it more obscure but an attacker would certainly still be able to pull off the attack.

    From what is on that blog, there's still a full keyschedule in memory at this time. This is how we reconstruct the key, the redundant information in memory; it's not just the 128/256 bit key itself. For older methods, they needed the actual specific key bits but we don't need them because we recreate them.

    Basically, the CPU is acting as a ghetto crypto co-processer. Emphasis on ghetto. It's a nice suggestion but the devil is in the details and sadly the details in this case aren't really up to snuff. It's a bogus solution.

  3. Sprite_tm on Print Messages On Your Beer · · Score: 1

    I've always been a big fan of Sprite_tm's projects. http://hackaday.com/search/?q=sprite_tm

  4. Re:Hack A Day on Hacking Santa · · Score: 1

    Yep, Thank you Hack-A-Day for seeding the cache last week.

  5. Speeding on Cross-Greenland Ski Trip Tracked with Google Maps · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hope those skis aren't rentals, they could issue her a ticket based on this data.

  6. Knoppix on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1

    Everyone got hung up on the stupid optimization jokes instead of "Graphical install, isn't that Knoppix? http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/2479 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=39998

  7. Isn't international waters over 100 miles? on Offshoring to a Ship in International Waters · · Score: 1

    I think calling 3 miles international waters is misleading. I'm guessing the ship is going to be registered in another country and 3 miles is how far you have to go to be officially "not in a dock". Sorry I don't have a Snowcrash "The Raft" joke

  8. Re:It'll all end in tears, I know it. on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Shh... they might find out that J.R.R.Tolkien was responsible for Lewis's adoption of Christianity. "Gimme back my sock you goat bastard" -Peter Griffin

  9. Tintin jokes on Finally ... RoboShark! · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think Tintin jokes would be more worthwhile. Red Rackham's Treasure here we come!

  10. Clubbers? on Why One Man Got a Guerrilla RFID Implant · · Score: 1

    Didn't anybody catch the blurb in Wired last year about Ibiza clubbers getting implants to automatically pay for drinks? I can't believe how premature this guy is; I mean he has less security than a garage door opener now. I'd opt for and iButton ring or something first.

  11. Toy Companies on RFID Music Player · · Score: 1

    This technology is so stupidly cheap some toy company is going to jump all over this.

  12. Coffee Table on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, I just epoxied my dell laptop dock to the underside of my coffee table with a pair of speakers. Does my network attached sound table count as a mod?

  13. All in one torrent? on CeBIT Video Coverage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can't we get an all inclusive torrent? Well, I assume they at least aren't split into .rars. Seriously, who keeps doing that crap?

  14. What? on Via Now Shipping Dual-Processor Mini-ITX Board · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't they know they need to use giant noisy fans to make a proper pc. What is it with this passivley cooled 486 style mindset?

  15. Re:Re-release the Classics on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    Finally a way to take the "bouncing boobies" load off of my processor.

  16. Should have done it the other way on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Get a B.S. in say Mechanical Engineering and then a Masters in Computer Science. Being able to apply computer science to a specific field is far better than just being able to program.

  17. Re:Mos Def and Martin Freeman? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer · · Score: 1

    Better yet if you are so ig'nant rent rent Bamboozled and kill two birds with one stone. I'm so happy to see Mos Def in this movie.

  18. So that's what it looks like on 2004's Most Creative Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    Katamari Damacy - just in case ever wanted to visualize a slashdotting.

  19. Re:I barter.... on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't sound like you've earned any money to invest.

  20. Re:Great idea on P2P Meets PSTN, With Bellster · · Score: 1

    Well, you could allways dial out using someone elses line in your city right?

  21. Coffee table on Wireless Power Recharging Nears Fruition · · Score: 1

    Just build it into my coffee table and I'll be good to go. Just set the laptop and all of those rechargable bluetooth devices on it.

  22. Re:Day 2 on CES 2005 Day 3 - Return to the Show Floor · · Score: 1

    You missed it? Day two was "Revenge of the show floor"

  23. Mac and Me on 'Something' Cleaning Mars Rover · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's McDonalds that's how I keep my arteries clean.

  24. (*^&*&()%^ sharing on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1

    This is off topic, but why doesn't simple sharing work goddamnit. It works five minutes and then it fucking breaks. Worthless hunk of shit, why doesn't anybody have a distro that my roommates would actually want to run.

  25. Re:So... on Evolving Swarms with Swarmstreaming · · Score: 2, Funny

    I choose SwarmPorning... "Verbing nouns weirds the language"
