  1. Re:UPnP? on Enabling Bittorrent at the University Level? · · Score: 1

    But since this is a university, we can probably assume that the NAT and firewall are on the same router(s).

  2. Re:Well... on RSS Feed Feed — Ultimate News Portal? · · Score: 1

    That's alright; hell has a great unfiltered 10GigE connection for every user. Too bad your upload is rate-limited to 64k... :(

  3. Re:There really is no excuse for this. on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 1

    And you can use it with PHP to boot.

  4. Re:Interesting analysis, but... on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 1

    So you generate a random number, encrypt that using your own throwaway key-pair (or one-time pad), and use the base64 output as your password? Actually, that'd be a good idea...

  5. Re:666 - myname on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 1

    You could phish for research purposes...

  6. Re:Site Slashdotted on Analyzing 20,000 MySpace Passwords · · Score: 1

    I guess that proves that being slashdotted is far worse than the digg effect. We have way more users! :D

  7. Re:Lol. Good point... on MySpace Music Player Hacked · · Score: 1

    Hey, it's free publicity as far as I can see. Most bands on MySpace need all the publicity they can get, and MySpace is one of the best places in which to do so. Now for those who want to get the decent quality music, the bands can offer them through emusic, magnatunes, or some other good, DRM-free music store.

  8. Re:fool me once... on Zune's Viral DRM Will Violate Creative Commons · · Score: 1

    AAC is like Vorbis; very good quality at a low bitrate (even 128k is pretty good on many speakers and headphones out there).

  9. Re:Ads Targeting TiVo on Advertising Comes to DVR Owners · · Score: 1

    Better question: what the fuck does it do? I learnt in broadcasting that ads need to tell you what the hell it's for else it fails.

  10. Re:Go Go! on Advertising Comes to DVR Owners · · Score: 1

    He was just basing it on pretty much everything Microsoft has ever done or does now, so I don't blame him for assuming that.

  11. Re:No surprise here on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 1

    Because it doesn't end with 99 or 95.

  12. Re:Uhh.. on Pro-DRM Law May Be Coming To Australia · · Score: 1

    One more word: VLC.

  13. Re:Mod Parent Up Informative on Vista to Create 50,000 Jobs in Europe · · Score: 2, Informative

    Out of the kindness of his own heart, some dude named Vinsci created a redirect so that people don't have to worry about the broken link.

  14. Re:Conversion on GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling · · Score: 1

    But 60 quid extra? WTF

  15. Re:Video card related question on GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling · · Score: 1

    Doesn't assembly have far too many non-Turing instructions to be converted to Brainfuck? Either that, or it has overly complex functions that can't be implemented with simple memory modification (unless you execute said modified memory, but that doesn't seem Turing complete to me).

  16. Re:Oh good! on GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling · · Score: 1

    Man, you rounded c off wrong: 299 792 458. I also wish that were my SSN as I can remember that, but I can't remember my SSN.

  17. Re:Why isn't this... on How Many HDMI Ports Does Your HDTV Have? · · Score: 1

    Because it takes like 20x longer to get a poll posted than an Ask Slashdot article...

  18. Re:Dirty Play on Copyright Axe To Fall On YouTube? · · Score: 1

    Why is it that when ATT got sued by pretty much everyone at once over the NSA illegal wiretapping, their stocks didn't plummet? Why doesn't Microsoft's plummet after pretty much everything they do?

  19. Re:Tilted Back on Segway Recalling 23,000 Scooters · · Score: 1

    The only person I ever saw in real life with a Segway was a chick, but your joke still stands.

  20. Re:Show me links about money flowing to the Democr on Don't Be Evil — Hire It Done · · Score: 1

    If most politicians are corrupt, and Republicans hold the majority in Congress, then it's safe to assume that the Republicans are more corrupt than the Democrats currently because there are more of them. It's logical. Once Dems get majority again, they'll be the more corrupt.

  21. Re:Your request is declined. on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    Well, for one, Firefox uses a lot more memory... ;p

  22. Re:Define hypocrisy on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    Everything in the Acid2 test are based on the formal standards of CSS. There are a few tests to see if the browser handles CSS errors correctly, but it tests a wide range of CSS attributes.

  23. Re:Of Course! on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 1

    Just use "!=" like any sensible person would do! :P

    Anyhow, I remember Dvorak writing on pcworld.com, but maybe I'm mistaken.

  24. Re:This ought to be good! on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: 1

    Since VC-1 (WMV3) is supported by MPlayer now, I don't care if it gets at least somewhat big. If only they'd use a real media container format (e.g. Matroska or QuickTime) instead of Microsoft's crappy ASF.

  25. Re:Or maybe it's just a GOOD government in action. on U.S. Backs Apple's iTunes DRM · · Score: 1

    I didn't know businesses could vote...
