  1. Re:Does anyone care? on A Tale In The Desert II Progress Report · · Score: 1
    Pardon me while I toot my own horn, but Wurm Online is a 100% player driven mmorpg (although we prefer to call it a Fantasy Simulation) written in Java.

    There's fighting in it, but it's far from the main focus of the game. In fact, I don't think more than half the players have ever fought at all except to fend of agressive wildlife.

    And don't forget about the touch screen.

    Refactoring does not change behavior.

    Prediction: more people in this thread will make that mistake.

    Why would he pony up the key?

    Generate a random pad the same size as the file, xor the file using the pad, encrypt the pad with the public key and save to disk.
    Then the user sends the encypted pad somewhere (possibly a webservice), and pays $200. The hacker descrypts the pad and sends it back.

    It could be encrypting the files using the public key of the virus makers secret key.

    Unless you found some very fast new way of factoring primes, that'd take a very long time to crack

    Yeah, in the future, code won't be structured at all as a result of this patent! There'll be spaghetti code and god objects all over the place! *looks at own code* AAH, IT'S STARTED ALREADY!!

  8. Re:No patent? on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 1

    Because software patents are evil, and now we get tab goodness in both firefox and internet explorer! Yay! =D Of course, I'll probably still keep using firefox, but there's one less reason to do so now. Yay competition!

    No, that would be Ultra-Violence. What kind of nerd ARE you?

  10. Right. on Say 'Cheese' to Google Satellite at 10AM · · Score: 5, Funny

    If a guy mugged me tonight I'd just look at him with an uncertain smile until he shot me. I hate april fools. :-/

  11. "Evil"? on Internet Providers Band Together to Fight Evil · · Score: 5, Insightful

    DDOS attacks? BitTorrent traffic? Spam email? Slashdotting? Seems a bit too vague to be good.
