they feed/profit off people's greed, idiocy, and lack of common sense.
There, fixed that for you.
99.99999% of all spam is immediately recognizable as BULLSHIT by anyone with half a brain. Anyone who buys any of the crap from a bulk email quite frankly deserves to lose their money. They made a conscious and voluntary choice to get that cheap v1agra and rolexes, and they chose poorly.
I have no love for spammers, and I wouldn't mind not having to empty out my Junk mail folder everyday. But the sheer amount of raw hatred you and everyone else has for them - why? Seriously, is it THAT big a deal to filter out some junk mail? There are far worse crimes in the world being perpetrated every day.
I, however, am thrilled at the prospect of seeing legions of people in Guy Fawkes masks protesting outside of Blizzard's HQ and rickrolling the employees.
That'll teach those bastards to suck away my middle and high school years with StarCraft and Diablo 2!
You obviously never read past book 3 of the Dune series.
Dune - FANTASTIC book. One of my favorites.
Children of Dune - Another great book.
Dune Messiah - Good.
God-Emperor of Dune - Eh...
Heretics of Dune - Utter crap.
Chapterhouse Dune - Even more crap than the above
And so on. I couldn't bring myself to read anymore.
Yeah, if you could fit a telegraph in your pocket and use it inconspicuously when you're in a social situation in which it would be either rude or inconvenient to take/make a phone call.
Odds are if you're in a situation where it's rude to make a phone call, it's probably just as rude (if not worse) to fake paying attention while you text instead of *GASP* dealing with the real, live people right in front of you.
That's it! You've found the secret to finally get/.ers to actually RTFA!
Hey, submitters! Be sure to include something in the summary about hot women in the article from now on. Maybe insinuate it's Natalie Portman if you really want to be sure they'll click.
clicked the FireEagle link and IMMEDIATELY closed the tab upon reading "FireEagle is the secure and stylish way-"? (I literally got no further than that)
At least I gotta give 'em credit for being upfront and letting me know within a half dozen words that it's a bunch of crap.
Load them up with all kinds of pr0n, then scatter them throughout the offices of auditors/beancounters/CEOs/local politicians/whoever else is getting on your nerves lately.
The big problem for the victim here is that RSA with a key that big can't be brute-forced in any sort of reasonable time on current computers. But what about using FPGAs, something like this?
Is RSA immune to these kind of solutions? As I understand it* the inherent parallelism of FPGAs makes them well-suited to this kind of thing
*based on Wikipedia and a single university course in VHDL coding.
I'm sorry, sir, but for the heinous crime of going against/. group-think and preferring Alyson Hannigan to Natalie Portman, I'm gonna have to ask you for your geek card. Turn it in along with any hot grits in your possession.
What's that? You don't have any hot grits? Oh, you're gonna get it now.... execution by BPC (Ballmer Propelled Chair)
It IS a waste when throwing money at the school system accomplishes nothing. For proof, look at the Los Angeles Unified School District in California. The district's ranked somewhere damn close to the very bottom of the nation in student proficiency for reading, math, and everything else that's measured. Despite this, they still con the voters out of more and more money every year.
Yo. (Hopefully) future embedded software engineer right here. Currently majoring in Computer Engineering with a CompSci minor.
I actually just enrolled in an embedded applications class this semester. Seems like a popular class, too - offered fairly often, and good enrollment each time from what I hear.
Even though the majority of the CS classes at my university are Java-based, there're still required architecture classes that use assembly and C, along with several EE courses. Just because many colleges are abandoning lower-level programming doesn't mean they all are.

You're on thin ice, man. Next you'll be telling us you played sports in high school, and you spend your Friday nights "out" (whatever the hell THAT means) instead of upgrading to Linux kernel version 2.6.23.141592653589793238.
How about the Vita chambers are spread farther apart (or cut in half)? or how about a limited # of respawns... something like 10 total. Or maybe turning off the Vita chambers entirely, like the summary says you can do?
Sheesh, have we really progressed from RTFA to RTFS? What's next, people blindly commenting on stories without even reading the headlines?
Seriously folks, enough with the "OMG BUT SONY SAID RUMBLE IS LAST GEN!!!" comments We get it, they've changed their minds. Yes, you're oh-so-witty for pointing out how Sony's doing a quick about-face. Because, y'know, never before in history has a company realized that they made a mistake and then gone back to correct it.
Gotta love the Slashdot groupthink: Slashbot: "HAHAHA, XYZ Company did something stupid!" *XYZ fixes said stupid thing* Slashbot: "XYZ is stupid for fixing their problems and not sticking to bad decisions."
Go ahead, call me a shill and mod me down, I've got balls enough to not post AC and karma to burn.

Microsoft actually bought South Korea in the late 90s.
And then Blizzard bought it from them in 1998
I'm sorry, the units given are meaningless to me... how many Libraries of Congress does it hold?
Dude, I still can't get past the social networking level. WTF am I supposed to do? I've got 12M friends,
You're doin' it wrong. It's like WarGames: The only winning move is not to play.
I don't need it. I already beat the interwebs. The end guy was hard.
Herbert's work is always wonderful.

theres still more porn on the inter tubes than one can shake a stick at
When referencing porn, could you PLEASE choose a better expression?
I, for one, would seriously like to see a survey conducted across a wide ranges of job types
I, for one, am glad to see a post that begins with "I, for one" but doesn't end with "overlords."

Because nothing was better than the look on your best friend's face just after you killed him with that useless Klobb SMG. :)

And yet, it still won't be able to run Crysis.
