  1. Reg-Free Link on Shuttles Can't Finish Space Station · · Score: 4, Informative
  2. Re:So PSP fans are theives, what else is new? on PSP Firmware Broken - Emulation for All · · Score: 1

    But he doesn't want to play it on a revolution, he wants to play it on ANY console he owns. So that doesn't really help him, does it?

  3. Re:Images? on Changing Planet Revealed In Atlas · · Score: 0, Redundant
  4. Re:it's simple, but... on Just a Phone? · · Score: 1

    Read: "What about all us obese americans who end up mashing the keypad"

  5. Re:Great Show on How Battlestar Galactica Killed TV · · Score: 1

    You paid for the opportunity to watch it. You didn't pay for the rights to download it into a medium you choose, without ever having a chance to see the ads, and watch it there.

  6. Flash on 64bit Linux on Linux Friendly One-Time Credit Card Providers? · · Score: 1

    Actually, Flash doesn't work on 64 bit linux. Well, at least, it doesn't compile for 64-bit firefox. If you want to use Flash with 64bit linux, you're going to have to get 32-bit firefox binaries and install it that way.

  7. Think about the future... on PSP UMD Format Cracked · · Score: 1

    Remember, the PSP will be around for a few years. In a few years, the price of a 2GB memory stick will have dropped drastically

    I'd imagine that whilst the cost may not be worth it now, for people to buy a 2GB memory stick for pirated games, it may be worth it when the price of the memory sticks drop.

  8. See Slashdot... on What Ever Happened to Virtual Reality? · · Score: 1

  9. Re:No smoking gun? on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 5, Informative

    Should I expect less if I make jerky motions into my pockets when a police officer pulls me over for a routine traffic accident?

    I guess it depends where you live. In the UK, if I made jerky motions into my pocket when puled over for a routine traffic accident, I certainly wouldn't expect to get shot.

    And if I was, there'd be a public outcry. Don't assume we're all trigger happy...

  10. Re:Is it worth upgrading? on Windows XP X64 Goes Gold · · Score: 5, Informative

    It depends, what do you use your laptop for? Unless you're doing scientific work, or playing a game which is 64-bit optimized, then no.

    And even if you are doing those things, only if the drivers are available.

    Basically, hold off unless you have no choice

    50% of you (who voted), did so for Bush. I think you screwed up the worlds view of you (as a nation, not as an invididual) when you voted him in. AGAIN.

  13. Happens all the time on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This kind of thing happens _all_ the time. When I knew people who did this, they'd get 10 or 15 unis whenever a new exploit came out. And that was just one 'fxp' team, of which there are hundreds. I'd be suprised if most of the unis in the US, and indeed around the world, don't have at least one compromised machine. And the guys don't care about sensitive data, they just want your hdd space and fast uni connection to serve the latest movies/games/apps/mp3s/whatever. This is the most un-news slashdot has posted in a _long_ time

  17. Re:Freedom 0? on Being Free is Hard to Do · · Score: 1

    The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

    Not necessarily - many programs allow plugins (winamp, photoshop), or provide SDK's (most new fps's), so that the community can provide addons and improvements without access to the source code.

  18. Re:WinPCap flagged... on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    Not at all, Winpcap IS NOT spyware, so don't flag it up. This tool isn't meant to flag up EVERY SINGLE piece of software or library that could possibly be used in some kind of spyware, it's to recognise known software

    The original poster doesn't come off like a moron at all - I was about to post the same thing. He's just pointing out that it's flaggin something as spyware which clearly is not

  19. Re:Curious tone on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    What you're saying simply isn't true No-one refers to these people as FXPers. The 'FXP Scene' is a number of much smaller less significant groups consisting of hackers, scanners and fillers. People who scan for and hack vulnerable machines, much slower than the topsites referred to here (anything from 1mbit cable upwards), and fill them with warez for distribution on their boards and the boards of other groups - at a maximum, these ftps are meant for viewing by no more than say 1000 people, and no more than about 10 at any one time. The FXP scene is much lower than 'the scene', and is looked down upon by anyone really involved in the scene, because it's the people here with poor security that allow sites higher up to get busted in the first place A better 'guide to internet piracy', which was published in 2600, can be found here http://www.wheresthebeef.co.uk/2600_Guide_to_Inter net_Piracy-TYDJ.zip

    Not really

    Many phishing scams take advantage of IE/outlook exploits in order to make their illegitimate sites seem legitimate.

  21. Hacking... on What Interests High-School Students? · · Score: 1

    Well, if they're geeks like me then that's what they'll be interested in. Clearly you can't teach 'box r00ting', but I'm sure you could involve it in something to do with network security. I'm running an after-school activity at my school (I'm 17, in my final year of college before university) teaching younger children about network security. Tomorrow, after a term of classes, they'll be having a hack-off - two teams, two unsecured linux boxes, we'll see who gets in first
