  1. Re:OT: Old school Interplay cred - fail on Fallout Online Website Arises Amid Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    The music is something else too. Deionarra's theme still brings a tear to my eye. It takes a special beauty of music to do that.

  2. Re:New MMO's on Fallout Online Website Arises Amid Legal Battle · · Score: 3, Funny

    lol, I never managed to push myself past level 50. I always got stuck trying to beat heroic Yawnmeister.

    Planescape Torment wipes it's ass with Baldur's Gate.

    Sure, Baldur's Gates were great games, but Planescape's story seemed quite deep.

    Does this look like 4chan to you? Get the fuck out of here.

  7. Re:Am I the only... on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    I thought the same thing about target shooting, until I did it. The nice thing there, was I didn't need to /already/ be in shape to get the enjoyment out of it. ... now, watching the sports? That I don't get.

  8. Re:Back to the Future Part 2 on PS Move Launch Date and Price Announced, Portal 2 For the PS3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course, the people without proper depth perception will bitch and whine about it. After all, if they can't enjoy/utilize it, nobody should.

    (This is the same crap you see regarding 3D movies)

    I'd prefer if MS pulled their nasty fingers out of gaming completely.

    I'd mod you up if I hadn't already posted. This is an interesting revelation.

    What does that have to do with your parent?

    Oh that's right. Nothing.

  16. Re:Well on Backdoor Found In UnrealIRCd Source Archive · · Score: 2, Informative

    I KNOW.

    Please read what I wrote.

    Hash a large file. Time is spent. Cryptographically sign a file, more time is spent.

    Instead, you sign the hash, and spend -less- time computing the signature. If the signature is true, then the hash is true, and by extension the large file is true.

  17. Re:Well on Backdoor Found In UnrealIRCd Source Archive · · Score: 0

    It's faster to verify a blob of MD5-sums than your 200MB+ application. The blob can still verify the 200MB+ on it's own without bothering with the heavy-crypto. Save the expensive calculation for where it's really needed.

  18. Re:Well on Backdoor Found In UnrealIRCd Source Archive · · Score: 0

    Even so, often the more efficient way is to sign the hash.

    If nobody cares enough to verify the hash, what makes you think they will verify the signature?

  19. Re:Well yes... on Backdoor Found In UnrealIRCd Source Archive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's there for a reason.

    If a server is compromised, the "normal" ports cannot be set up as listeners without also escalating your breakin.

  20. Re:The remediation advice is wrong on Backdoor Found In UnrealIRCd Source Archive · · Score: 1

    --prefix=/opt/ircd is such an unusual approach? (assuming your user can write there, put it wherever else, even under ~/)

    That is a really -bad- headline.

    Removing two whole words would fix it too (words that aren't really required in the headline)

    Really now... how they did it doesn't need to be in the headline.

    Well, to reply to myself after some though...

    I should mention the people I associate with brighter than average. I don't socialize with idiots, and I'm lucky to have an intelligent family.
