  1. Re:Really, it's not that difficult... on The Psychology of Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    Yet, if you create a virus that exploits an undocumented buffer overflow\overrun\etc, your worm will be nearly impossible to stop, since so few people run anything other then Outlook.

  2. Re:Are stereotypes usally right? on The Psychology of Virus Writers · · Score: 1
    From Merriam-Webster:
    Main Entry: 2stereotype Function: noun Etymology: French stereotype, from stere- stere- + type Date: 1817 .. 2 : something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment
    So, if the sterotype is not generally true, it's not a sterotype.

  3. Re:hahahahhahahah on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    No, the movie was produced in such a way that, if the first one sucked and didn't make a lot of cash, could be left as just a single movie.

    However they left it open to be a trilogy if it did well.

    What is this "most excellent dream" line from BTW?

    Could have waited and made it better, but that might have decreased the number of people that go.

  6. Re:McDonald's on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 1

    I usally eat there 1-2 times a week. It'd be less but we have a Very exceptional (Solid Gold) one nearby.

    Not to mention the Burger King across from it is just shoddy service, taking about 15 minutes to get any food.

  7. Re:NPR on Students, ISP Sue Diebold · · Score: 1

    That news article mentioned that the hacker could have only left the most sensational passages in those documents.. Is there any proof that shows that none of those documents were forged? I wasn't thinking of the possibility that someone could have made up some of those. Granted, Diebold hasn't claimed that they were falsified.

    It couldn't just be good, no.

  9. Re:the other virus writers were caught... on Spammer DDoS-By-Virus On spamhaus.org · · Score: 1

    Maybe so, but those virus writers weren't trying to profit from their worms. They were only trying to gain notoriety, or destroy systems. These spammers are trying to profits, so they're unlikely to go and brag in IRC channels..

    Hey i just got done talking to logic. He said this was done in a university and documented for the entire public to read.

    I doubt any comment that shows this comes from a university and not from a bunker will be modded up, youknowwho will instead mod all these posts to -1...

  14. Some weapon on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research · · Score: 1

    The title of this article would have people thinking this mouse-pox was created in an evil underground bunker by the U.S. Military. Is a strain of mouse-pox created and documented at a university a weapon now?

    It's ironic that its supposed to create extremly good code, while removing all competiton. It's like socialism that works..

    Can you at least NOT use italics in your own personal comments? It confuses article text and your own opinion.

    I think i've got problems. Every time i saw that title i thought '...Gates?'

  21. Re:They should watermark them. on Oscar Screener Ban to be Revoked for Academy Members · · Score: 1

    You've gotta admit, the MPAA is Much more clever then the RIAA. While the RIAA went the brute force\stupid route of asking to be able to hack or DDoS P2P networks, the MPAA went a (imho) brillant route. They individually marked movies with dots in a single frame or two, to determine what theater it came from. All this from the **AA group that was losing the least to piracy.
    They probably will follow their trend of watermarking copies of movies.

  25. Re:MS on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch? · · Score: 1

    Not only that, the update client for windows doesn't let you wait later to reboot. The window stays open until you hit the 'reboot' button. I usally kill the process and just let it install the patch later when my system invaribly crashes.
