  1. How hard is to make an alternate cathedral? on Defending Sony Against the Church Of England · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Konami did it right with the House of Sacred Remains in "Castlevania: Lament of Innocence". And with gregorian-styled chants in the background.

    One of my favorite areas of the game.

  2. Of course it worked! on Ophcrack Says Your Password Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    Burger without salt = anybody can mug you for your money
    Burger WITH salt = You have a full security team recording who comes to visit you, and you have this barrier of protection with reinforced steel bars! PLUS - you have the right to make a call!

    See? With salt it's much more secure! :D

  3. In other words... on Ophcrack Says Your Password Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    you're telling me that my Hotmail or Yahoo! passwords are much more difficult to crack than the Windows one?

  4. Re:But a movie is only a couple of hours on Robotech Heading to Big Screen, Starring Toby Maguire · · Score: 1

    You seriously don't expect the movie to contain ALL the storyline, do you?

    I think it'll be the beginning of the story, when the SDF1 crashed the Earth, and the first Zentraedi attacks. My prediction is that it'll end up in a strategic victory (i.e. Earth isn't destroyed... for now) in the middle of the storyline, of course, AFTER the SDF1 is teleported to Pluto.

  5. Re:Storm is still a trojan, not a worm on Storm Worm Evolves To Use Tor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As always, it works based on user stupidity

    Oh no, the internet's doomed! :(

  6. I don't think it'll be the original version. on Robotech Heading to Big Screen, Starring Toby Maguire · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The version we got in the US is much more "Hollywood-like": It has romance, a love circle, heroes fighting to save the country/planet/whatever, and nearly-stereotypical villains.

  7. Hellooooo Blue Security? on Anti-Scammers Become Storm Botnet Victims · · Score: 1

    "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

    To put it in other words, why am I not surprised that this happened, after watching Blue Security being obliterated by... guess what, a botnet!

  8. Re:Money Talks on G.I. Joe No Longer the Real American Hero? · · Score: 1

    U.S. branded GI Joe's may not sell as well outside the US as a multinational task force would.

    Just replace him with Guile and we're set. :)

  9. There's something i just don't understand... on Server Benchmarking Lone Wolf Bites Intel Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If intel chips are constantly exposed as being inferior to AMD's, why can't intel improve its engineering, with all that money flowing to them?

    What do AMD have in their design methodologies that Intel don't?

  10. They're right... but for the wrong reason. on Copyright Alliance Says Fair Use Not a Consumer Right · · Score: 1

    Fair use is not a consumer right.

    It's EVERYBODY'S RIGHT!

  11. Class Action, anyone? on 1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster · · Score: 1

    Ok, i'm waiting for the class action lawsuit for fraud.

  12. Re:Patriot act ISN'T patriotic. on Judge Strikes Down Part of Patriot Act · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hint: Whenever you want a tyrannic act approved, just name it "patriot", "family", "protection", "security" or whichever nice name that will appeal to the idio^H^H^H^Hvoters.

  13. Re:Sharks on Detecting Cancer Without Drawing Blood · · Score: 1

    Does the Laser come with its own shark?

    Only when surgical extraction is necessary.

  14. Re:What happens if.... on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 1

    If you apply the algorithm to the exact image, it's certain that you'll end up with
    the same characters. With the goggles it's different because of scale / rotation / misalignment problems. You'd lose even more quality, some characters being replaced with others.

  15. Re:windows live on Microsoft Ties Windows Live Services to OS · · Score: 1

    How about Windows Cancerous?

  16. Re:what about solaris on Silverlight Released, Linux Version Coming · · Score: 1

    will it be called sunlight :-)

    What a *BRILLIANT* idea! :P

  17. Re:Suure... legal action is possible... on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    do you think you even have a chance in Hell?

    Then again, Rosa Parks had no legal right to keep her bus seat from a white guy. And yet, she did.

    If you don't stand up and fight for your rights, who else will?

  18. oooh, data miner. on Rick Rubin Discloses Sony Rootkit Called Home · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess this is their "We can't afford watermarking all the CD's music, but we'll steal the buyer's identity instead" solution.

  19. Re:The perfect temporary solution: on ISPs Dragged Into Swedish File Sharing Battle · · Score: 1

    You see, what this here means is that if ISPs are unable to stop file sharing, they might be fined in some way.

    Wrong. Encrypted P2P networks a-la freenet are private, i.e. they could be swapping porn, linux iso's or doing live teleconferencing, MMORPG games, etc. They'd need a warrant to ask the users what kind of encrypted info they're sharing.

    In other words, ISPs only are held accountable for VERIFIED copyrighted file sharing. The lesser the detected copyrighted works traffic, the lesser the fine.

  20. In related news... on Google News to Host Wire Service Stories · · Score: 2, Funny

    the UPSTO has just received a patent application from some Dr. McLeod for a "method and apparatus to discriminate identical story submissions in news sites, in which there can be only one".

  21. Re:The perfect temporary solution: on ISPs Dragged Into Swedish File Sharing Battle · · Score: 1

    But it can outlaw encryption.

    Which will make more than evident how far a police government can go. Maybe then people will begin to understand the need for a new government.

  22. So basically... on School Kids Get Virtual Web Lockers · · Score: 1

    it's a space to put their homework in? I see no other practical use for that. Reading e-books? COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! Music? Ditto. Games? Not appropriate for school.

    Now, if the lockers were encrypted with TRUECRYPT (and YOU had the key in USB or something), now THAT'd be something.

  23. The perfect temporary solution: on ISPs Dragged Into Swedish File Sharing Battle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Encryption, my friends. Govt can't censor what they can't read. And personally I believe it's ridiculous to equate a downloaded file to a lost sale - many of them wouldn't be sales, anyway. (Also check my manifesto for a more revolutionary opinion)

  24. Mod parent flamebait! on Will the Pope Declare Google Evil? · · Score: 1

    Sitting on a big pile of gold, and money in swiss banks.

    Just as any governor who lives in a mansion surrounded by gardens and administrating all the money of his country at his will *ahem* Bush *ahem*.

    By the way, do you have proof for "money in swiss banks"? And don't forget that all the Church's money is obtained by donations. You can't say the same for the taxes the US forces you, and where do they go? Hint: It's a three letter word, starts with W and ends with an R.

    At least the Pope submits to the Roman Curia for financial decisions.

  25. Oops... on Vista Bug Costs Users In Swedish Town Their Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just read above that the DHCP flag is part of the standard.

    Nevermind then. (blush)
