  1. Re:Preview ? on Game Preview: Hearthstone · · Score: 2

    Oh? Maybe you'd like to share with us where we can download it to try it ourselves...

  2. Re:Get out the lasers! on Coolant Glitch Forces Partial Space Station Shutdown · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of coolant media they could vent across exchangers to dump heat - you wouldn't need to carry very much, and you (generally...) only launch once on a mission.

  3. Re:Where is Geordie? on Coolant Glitch Forces Partial Space Station Shutdown · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the coolants that would be used in that setting would be highly radioactive and/or toxic or extraordinarily hot - think "primary loop" reactor coolant. What the ISS is having problems with is more like the water cooling stuff in your car or PC (if you've a water-cooled CPU/GPU)

  4. Re:Soo, it's gonna crash now or no? on Coolant Glitch Forces Partial Space Station Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Yes. The electronics getting hot and shutting off will, for no apparent reason, expend significant amounts of delta-v, deorbiting the station.

    Who is "we?"

  6. Re:Is there any way to gain trust in a chip? on FreeBSD Developers Will Not Trust Chip-Based Encryption · · Score: 1

    If you can feed in a seed and get the same output reliably, it's not a RNG, but a PRNG.

  7. Re:So the NSA can predict your video game ... on FreeBSD Developers Will Not Trust Chip-Based Encryption · · Score: 1

    If you're using /dev/random (or the Windows equivalent) instead of /dev/urandom for that, you're an idiot and probably have lots of open bugs related to your game hanging.

    I'm not talking about the 'chacha' part, but rather the '@openssh.com' part.

    It worked, didn't it?

  11. Re:And why ... on Program to Use Russian Nukes for US Electricity Comes to an End · · Score: 2

    Well, sure. For a very, very short amount of time.

  12. Re:We called them on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    Huh? Where was that implied?

    The parent of this thread didn't either, they paid for a legitimate copy upon finding out that they had a pirated copy. The developer responded by giving them some nice swag, instead of banning and/or lawyering up as one might expect these days.

    Also, why are you responding to something I said in a post I didn't say it in? I assume slashdot's threading is to blame.

    I'm talking about "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" rather than the chacha20 or poly1305 parts :)

    Why would you name an algorithm after what appears to be a support email address?

    AT&T is pretty well used to this by now...

    Then you were not one of the honest ones, you were one of the ones who's existence I implied with "mostly."

  17. Re:My first multiplayer game on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    I hope you managed to copy more than just the executable ;)

    I remember playing via dialup. That was 'fun' (people kept answering the phone)

  18. Re:We called them on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ah, back in the days when developers (and players) were (mostly) honest.

  19. Re:IDDQD on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IDSPISPOPD - that was the fun one.

  20. Re:Memories on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    Clearly you are playing the wrong games, or you're not playing them in "hardcore" mode.

    Generally, players (and other things) die in 1 to 3 hits.

  21. Re:I do. on Disqus Bug Deanonymizes Commenters · · Score: 1

    When I search for my handle (not this one, this one is ancient and I don't use it anywhere else :P) all I find are things I think I'd want employers to see.

    Bug reports and such, discussions about Kerbal Space Program, my photography stuff... all things I would be proud to show off. Yes, I find and report bugs. Yes, when I don't know how to do something, I ask. Yes, I know enough about orbital mechanics to get by. Yes, I can operate a camera and somehow have resisted pointing it at (mine, or otherwise) genitalia.

    Personally I'd bet these things are the new numbers station.
