  1. Can I hypnotize someone into having sex with me? on Hypnosis Gets Positive Recognition · · Score: 1
  2. Re:But seriously, SHOWER! on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    You can do about it if you really want to.. it can take years but you can get hot babes too.. you have to learn lots of things. Some links:
    http://www.fastseduction.com/ - the alt.seduction.fast news group.. a community that views getting women as a video game where women are black boxes
    http://doubleyourdating.com/ - a must have for the right mindset, start with this
    http://www.realworldseduction.com/ - another killer..
    I must warn you again: you have to really want to change be successful. Get some friends from the community.

  3. timestamp on Internet Chess Club Security Defeated · · Score: 1

    The article writes that time stamping can be easily defeated.. yes it can (using User Mode Linux usually works better than intercepting the kernel calls) but playing a chess game on a bad connection without timestamping just sucks.. (I tried it with FICS.. it's the free internet chess server http://www.freechess.org ). Being able to steal credit card numbers is naturally not the same category.

  4. Re:Sounds good... on Debugging in Plain English? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe you should try a mem debugger like valgrind (i386 Linux only). It saved me lots of debugging time.

  5. Re:Another NO on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 1

    There can be defense.. in our school (which is the best in Math in Hungary.. its 5 students won 2 gold and 3 silver medals) we played in teams.. every team had about 20-30 math problems and we gave it to other teams.. if someone gave us a hard problem we had the chance to revenge.. sadly there were some cheaters but not that many. I thought of giving a Hamilton circle finding problem just for fun (the only restriction was to be able to tell the solution in front of everybody)

  6. Re:ideas on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    No machine learning but here's why I use Opera instead of Firefox:

    - real full screen mode, everything can easily turned on/off (even the scroll bar and address bar.. I don't use anything else).

    - fully customisable key bindings via GUI (although you have to use mouse for that in Opera)
    I use j for scrolling down and k for scrolling up.. I would like to use the quick search in Firefox with a /.

    - key for google search would be also nice (in Opera you have F2+g keywords...

    - next key (X).. it could be even better then Opera's

    user mode is also nice (I like white on black) but it's not so important as the firt two/three

  7. Re:Better acronym on UML, PostgreSQL Get Corporate Support · · Score: 1

    Linux On Linux - lol :)

  8. Re:Analogy? on Cut-Rate Windows 'XP Starter Edition' in Thailand · · Score: 1

    If you have another computer with Linux you can easily make it a VPN server with arbitrary number of connections: just install a pptp server (don't forget to add the required kernel modules; there's also a PPTP HOWTO) (I havn't yet tried it with IPX games like Starcraft but for TCP/IP LAN games it worked).

  9. Re:My experiences with Gmail invitations on Gmail in the News · · Score: 1

  10. What is with the compression ratio? on Theora I Bistream Format Frozen · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Will Theora codecs ever be as good as MPEG-4 ones? Or we have to wait for wavelet based codecs to have a patent free good format?
    IIRC the MPlayer lead developer (Alex) said that he reckons Theora will never get close to MPEG-4.

  11. Re:There is an issue here on Online Plagiarist Sues University · · Score: 1

    We had to write a program in Prolog and SML and a friend of mine merged the two programs (so
    the program was an SML and a Prolog program too) and handed in the same source twice. He was also caught for copying himself (of course he didn't get any punishment).

  12. Re:No issues here, if you have ETHICS on Intel Launches DRM-Enabled CPUs for Phones and Handhelds · · Score: 1

    So if somebody gets a modified GPL-ed program does the phone checks if the source code of the modifications are available to everybody? That'd be cool! But I doubt it does.
