  1. Re:Booooring..... on Review: Dungeon Siege II · · Score: 1

    Dungeon Siege was one of the most boring, least challenging RPGs I've ever played.

    Would you say it loudly, facing me or some other Maljin?

  2. I understand why... on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One reason for Google to use Jabber technology but not to join their server network is simple: Google wants to spam people with their own advertising targeted by message content. That could be hardly acceptable by original jabber network community.

  3. Re:Hmm, fishy... on Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking · · Score: 1

    Clever, but i think it is the Chinese making us believe that the hackerz are American that use Chinese networks in order for us to believe that that Chinese are behind this crap.

    No, you are wrong. Actually, these are Polish hackers disguised as Italians, who were hired by Russian government making American hackers thinking they are Chinese hackers attacking federal government. Chinese government is only monitoring all traffic.

  4. My best hacking devices... on PDA Security, the Next Big Hurdle for IT? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just walking around with the pockets full of computers makes the task done: iPaq 3970 ($100) with Linux, Jornada 690 ($50) with NetBSD. Plus some equipment: 2G CF microdrive and wifi/ethernet CF/pcmcia makes a real computer of both. They have 100x more resources than double mainframe I admined just 22 years ago.

    However, a "secure PDA" by NSA standards somewhat tells me it must have a backdoor of some kind...

  5. Easy design is here, for ages... on New Display Interface Standard in the Works · · Score: 1

    All I need is a big screen with just 1G ethernet plug and X11 protocol.

  6. Re:No Sun, No radiation on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1

    Just blow up the sun... Get rid of it. Everybody should know that No Sun = No cosmic radiation! Honestly, how hard could it be?

    You must be an american.

  7. Best strategy for comments, so far... on Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code · · Score: 1

    Comment out all buggy code, all code written by coworkers and all code written under previous boss. Increses your popularity with current boss.

  8. I would rather... on Japan Wants to Build 10 Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    measure supercomputers in logic inferences, not in floating point operations. We can hardly build an AI from nuclear simulations or weather maps.

  9. Missing a disturbance in the Force... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    A working lightsabre, he has not. Better a "padawan wannabe" we should call him.

  10. Just eat something... on Game To Play During Lunch? · · Score: 1

    A Packman, of course.

  11. An Example on Windows Users Ignoring LUA Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    On Windows 2000 fresh system installation, a game title Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (running on Age of Empires engine), published by Microsoft executes only in administrator account, not in user. Many other games of other publishers doing cd check or strange networking too.

  12. No mystery, on Low-Hanging Moon Explained · · Score: 5, Funny

    it's bug in Matrix. A 2D transform/rendering artefact. Ever noticed a simple static texture for moon, with a black circle occlusion blended, no animation at all?

  13. Impressive... on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In my country, so called people's army had exactly such a database of all students, because every student was actualy a recruit on delay.

    But that was deep past in the totalitarian communist era. Today it would be illegal to keep such data for any reason. What's exactly going on in the USA??? Is it a precursor to conscription?

  14. Dangerous Law on Document Disposal Law Kicks In · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would rather suggest not to memorize other people's personal information, for obvious reason...

  15. At last! on Simulated Universe · · Score: 1

    A really massive MMORPG engine. Now, what about the storyline?

  16. Do It Yourself on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    1. Crack open your cheapo digital camera.
    2. Take away the infra filter out of objective assembly.
    3. Reassemble the device
    4. You have it. Go find some profit using it.

  17. Re:Reminiscent of Cannon 300D Hack on Unlocking the GeForce 6800 · · Score: 1

    I'm sure other folks can come up with much earlier examples.

    1985(??), ZX Spectrum "Turbo" ROM, several nasty bugs in basic patched and 6 times faster cassette tape loader code, speeding up full 48k RAM loading from about 15 minutes down to less than 3.

  18. I, for one, ... on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 0

    ...welcome their furnished rather durchwachsene results.

  19. Mouse for humans... on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    is A4tech. Two rollers, five buttons. Because I have five digits on my hand.

  20. Re:What if..... on PGP Ruled as Relevant For Criminal Case · · Score: 1

    Windows volume encryption does not prevent law enforcers to read your disk at all. Unlike PGP, which makes it rather difficult and/or costly.

  21. Do It Hardcore! on Updating Free Software in the Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    Gentoo: compile your ebuilds on server then let workstation sync with binary packages only as often as you want. You will get absolute control over everything and you can have up to day security fixes.

  22. Space weather... on Space Weather Warning · · Score: 1

    ... is rather blameworthy this week. I am glad I am back home on Earth today.

  23. Re:It IS a commodity on Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-For-All · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are mumbling nonsenses. One cannot stockpile knowledge. By sharing knowledge, you do not loose it. You cannot look at particular knowledge you are interested in on the knowledge market, excercise it completely and reject to buy for the reason of poor quality as with commodity goods.

    Only peer review can assure quality of some specific knowledge, that's the academic principle for longer more than two millenia. With knowledge, sharing with others is a fundamental condition for top quality.

  24. Re:link to "Who Is 'PJ' Pamela Jones of Groklaw.Ne on Maureen O'Gara No Longer Welcome at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    Good hit. So maybe PJ does not exist at all. Does it matter, if SCO is now dead horse?

  25. 4D dataset, 2D incident... TFA scares me on Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography · · Score: 1

    6D slice of the 8D reflectance

    Imagine... oh, wait.
