Does this mean that I can take a given binary file, like kde.rpm, and change it so that its' contents are different, and harmful, yet the MD5 hash is the same?
This has never been done before? Sounds like an interesting 4th-year engineering project to me.
I'd think it'd be really easy to mess up a file and keep the same MD5 hash (like screwing up an avi file shared ona p2p network). But to actually change the file so that it behaves a certain way, wow.
Oddly enough, Saddam Hussein was NOT taken out after the first Gulf War when the Americans could have done it with great ease. But then Saddam tried to get George H. Bush assassinated in a foiled terrorist attack. Interesting, no?
It'd be neat if they integrated this technology with the google local search. Imagine searching for a local business then getting to see it on a satellite map, cool.
I'm sure NASA has looked into using this for providing drinking water to astronauts on extended stays in space. I think it's been suggested that this method could be used on the 9 month flight to Mars.
That makes me wonder, where does the ISS get its' water from?
The folks over at http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ are gonna attempt to create an online tunnel similar to their xbox/PS2 tunnels.
It'll be interesting to see how the system compares to the one stated in the article. I'm assuming the Xlink system will be free (since it is for the xbox and PS2).
They always said that the game would get released 'When it is done'. 'It' wasn't the demo, 'it' was the full game. The demo is a nice thing to have but if they waited till the demo was done, the game would only see a release now. Now, only if they hired an extra person to work concurrently on the demo so it could've been ready in August...
I also ended up getting bored. I just couldn't stop thinking "This looks like one of those 'interactive movies' computer games from the nineties.
The CG wasn't even that good, in some scenes the Doom 3 engine could have rendered more convincing backgrounds.
Plus the actors didn't seem like they wanted to be there.
The biggest hole in the movie though: Where is everyone? It seems like the main actors are the only people that populate this world. Polly would run around the streets but no one else is to be seen.
I really appreciate the style that the director was aiming for, but it just didn't seem to hold up over two hours.
George Lucas and Spielberg made Indiana Jones as an homage to old serials, but at least they pushed the format forward, sky captain seems to push it backwards, yuch.
It's relevant to slashdot because it's something interesting and somewhat geeky.
It's explaining why English class sucks and why it should suck. Something that geeks have always thought.
Can you think of any other mandatory high school course that was less geek friendly than 'English'? It would be way more bearable if it wasn't so focused solely on ancient English literature. You seriously don't 'learn' anything from Shakespeare, at least from reading one work every year in high school that can be devoted to more meaningful, relevant, and modern works.
By analysing the benefits Hitler brought to his people, it can bring about a greater understanding as to how a people can even follow such a person in the first place.
Of course, I h8 the bi*tch with all my guts but it doesn't change the fact we shouldn't turn history, or any idea, in every direction in order to learn the most out of it.
I'd have to disagree, one of my favorite apps is http://azureus.sf.net/Azureus Bit Torrent client. It works, on all major platforms no less, and has the same look and feel.
Plus it operates with a similar memory/CPU footprint of the offical Bit Torrent client.
No duh it's on time

Sims 2 Goes Gold
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Development of a game like this just requires the adding of features. i.e. if they are behind schedule, they can release the game with 200 characters instead of 250. Half-Life 2 on the other hand, if the last level isn't working, then they have no choice but to delay the game. For The Sims they can always release cut off content in the inevitable expansion packs.
Bait and switch would be if they promised 50 cents per song, but when you go to buy the song they say that they ran out of that song and you should buy a different song at a dollar.
What Real is doing is called a sale. Every store does it (except Wal-Mart?). Sales are a way to increase awareness of your store. Real's latest sale seems to be working, they made it to the front of slashdot!
If you were being sarcastic, I apologise.
Will it be available on a demo disc with a magazine? I believe they did that for the extra Splinter Cell level.
Would downloading it off the net, then FTPing the content to your xbox be considered 'illegal'? Especially if this update is more of a patch, then a content download.
Check out http://www.educomts.com for an email archiving solution. It's pricey, only works with MS exchange, but its likely quite worth it for large corps.
There's probably a good chance that there is other 'life' out there. But what about 'intelligent life', that would be more rare, we might just be an evolutionary fluke.
Now try this:
What are the odds of intelligent life existing out there at the same time as us.
How long have we been around since radio was invented? 100 years? How much longer can we survive before we blow ourselves up? What if every other intelligent civilization never invented radio, or they did and then invented nuclear weapons, but didn't survive their cold war.
If you actually think about it, we can be very VERY rare.
How is sending spam stealing? It's lame and annoying, maybe even criminal, but why confuse the kids out there by mislabeling it?
Are you sure it was 321 that was sending the spam? It could've also been either a knock-off or a reseller.
I may be just stating the obvious but:
This is awful because now the MPAA and RIAA are gonna sue as many of their perceived enemies as possible, hoping to shut them down too.
On the bright side, maybe people will use the superior DVD Shrink instead.
I'll have to second this thought.
He's absolutely right. I remember back when Morpheus was doubling in popularity everyday. It was just a ripoff of kazaa too.
The original kazaa qas quite awesome. The downloads were blazingly fast, and no spyware. When the original dudes sold it, the software got progressively worse with every release.
Now it isn't even worth wiping your tuchus with.
For the Xbox you don't even need to open it, if you can get a hacked save file on the HD. Hint: d/l the hacked save and save it onto memory card that attaches to your computer.
Of course, I don't see what this has to do with backwards compatibility, especially if the compatibility is provided by emulation.

WTF is a 3rd pillar?
If the gamecube is their 1st pillar, what would be their 2nd pillar?
I hate these bloody buzzwords!
Also, I'm pretty sure that the DS IS the 'next' gameboy, but without the kiddie sounding 'gameboy' in the name.

Last time the Red Sox won, the incumbent lost. How's that for a pattern?

No xbox requires a modchip to run unsigned code.
You can load a 'soft-mod' onto the xbox hard drive using a save game exploit.
There are few advantages to using a mod-chip, and one big disadvantage: You have to open the machine. (That may be an advantage to many though)

Everyone has been so busy emulating the GBA and Xbox that no one has thought about emulating these old servers?
So far I have seen no mention of this symposium in the local Ottawa papers. Very sad.
