  1. Re:The summary is missing something... on BD+ Resealed Once Again · · Score: 1

    It has been worked around for specific disks. It has not been cracked in general case.

  2. Re:The summary is missing something... on BD+ Resealed Once Again · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the crack requires about 40 known public/private key pairs to pull off. I don't think anybody has managed to collect those yet, although I could be wrong about that.

  3. Re:...So.... on Your Browser History Is Showing · · Score: 2, Informative

    This has been known for several years, and none of the browsers have done anything to fix it.

  4. Re:Slashdot defaults on On the Humble Default · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that parser will also output massively broken HTML on demand.

  5. Re:Wow on Atari Sub-Sub-Contractor Used ScummVM For Wii Game · · Score: 1

    It might be that their agreement with Nintendo prohibits even that.

  6. Re:C'mon slashdot, get working on Google To Promote Web Speed On New Dev Site · · Score: 1

    You're about half a decade too late, sorry. Slashdot hasn't been able to slashdot anything beyond the puniest tin-can-and-string servers for a long time.

  7. Re:Slashdot defaults on On the Humble Default · · Score: 1

    HTML is harder on the server side since Slashdot has to parse it and figure out what's OK HTML

    Not so. Nothing prevents you from treating HTML the exact same way you treat BBcode. Parse it into an internal representation that can't represent dangerous code, and then output fresh new HTML which just accidentally happens to be the exact same for valid input.

    And it is.

  9. Re:Why is this Games and not Idle? on The Origins of Video Game Names · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What does that even mean? They are all less formal than a scientific paper, but there is pretty much zero resemblance otherwise.

    Gendered language sure is horrible, isn't it? I mean, when it's not gendered like you.

  11. Re:A little anti clamantic... on Firefox 3.5 Hits Release Candidate Milestone · · Score: 1

    Just like Firefox is "back in beta". Come on, that's a ridiculous thing to say.

  12. Re:A little anti clamantic... on Firefox 3.5 Hits Release Candidate Milestone · · Score: 1

    And Chrome doesn't.

  13. Re:A little anti clamantic... on Firefox 3.5 Hits Release Candidate Milestone · · Score: 1

    The few times I've encountered this problem in the last year or so, it has been in Firefox, and Safari has worked fine.

  14. Re:Theora FAIL on YouTube, HTML5, and Comparing H.264 With Theora · · Score: 1

    Yes, definitely.

  15. Re:Theora FAIL on YouTube, HTML5, and Comparing H.264 With Theora · · Score: 1

    No, Flash is the main competitor of the html5 tag. And needs to give a compelling reason for people to switch away from Flash if it's going to be successful.

    Sure it's slow, but it's FREE...

    We don't really know this. It may be, but there is no public study to support the claim nor has it been tested in court.

  17. Re:Theora FAIL on YouTube, HTML5, and Comparing H.264 With Theora · · Score: 1

    Because it's buggy and usability is horrid.

    Like you said, it's been there for a long time, why don't people use it? Because it's bad, that's why.

    They don't have an UI when you embed them through their respective APIs. Adding an UI is up to you, then.

    Some of us actually use the browser history.

    Also, the internet forgets in about a week.

  22. Re:Macbook pro on Apple's WWDC Unveils iPhone 3.0, OpenCL, Laptop Updates, and More · · Score: 1

    There's no standard USB memory form factor, so the memory would have to be external, and lots of people would not like that.

    No, they are not.
