Hi,
Is it just me, or does somebody at Slashdot have a personal vendeta against The Society for Correct Spelling? *rolls eyes*
It's happened so many times in the past few weeks that I was starting to think it was intentional, some clever attempt to subvert the Establishment and show how progressive they are....or, maybe I'm over-analysing it....
Anyway, back to the topic - I wonder if the FBI will cut a spill-the-beans deal with him? I mean, breaking into a major telco...that's gotta be worth at least a couple of hacker brownie points...
bye,
Victor
Looks pretty sweet...
Sorry if this is silly, I've been out of the loop but SLI is Scan Line Interleaving, right?
Anyway, from what I recall, Gigabyte was always known for the budget solutions - does this still hold true? I wonder how good their driver development will be - after all, ATI suffered early on from buggy drivers and the bad publicity which resulted, whilst NVidia managed to attain significant performance gains simply via releasing updated drivers.
Also, anybody know if the Render/DRI/Xorg people have got wind of this? Would be nice if XDamage and composite could use it...
Bye,
Victor

Nothing to hide, eh?

Nothing to hide, eh?
I'd be very suprised if you're not either ignorant or lying...(no offense meant).
So you live a perfect life, you're a paragon of virtue and civic responsibility?
Do you ever record free-to-air television (illegal) Do you ever borrow software from your friends? (illegal) Do you ever use mp3s? (illegal, depending on where you are - as a total of all mp3s, very few are totally 'legitimate' - plus the mp3 codec licensing)
*All* of the software you have in your house is legitimate, I assume? If asked by police, you would be able to produce the EULAs and Proof of Authenticity, I assume. (and saying "it's a friends" is probably not good enough)
Your power cords/power tools are certified by a licensed electrician every 6 months? (illegal if not - but most people don't - bloody ripoff)
You have never made *any* modification to your phone line/mains without calling an Austel Licensed (I'm downunder) or licensed electrician? (illegal if not)
Your plumbing is done by a licensed plumber, whom you ask to produce his documentation and license each time?
Seriously mate, I very much doubt you have nothing to hide - they'll find something - and saying, "everyone does it" isn't exactly going to hold up in court - if they want to get *you* they'll get you for something.
Bye,

Laycock....

Sorry, another thing - what about corrrupt coppers?
The son of the assistant police commisioner - Christopher Laycock - absolute corrupt, thick and true (he's confesed).
He's intimidated witnesses, tapped phone lines, stolen police records, attempted to kidnap people using police equipment/help, beaten up and stolen from people etc.
Then there was that Melbourne underworld scandal a few months back - apparently, people under witness protection were being shot/killed with inside help by police.
Not very reassuring, that these are the people committed to protecting us - then we give them these rights.
What's to stop another Laycock say, getting you're credit card number, or just obtaining private information and blackmailing you (anybody who's been following the court case will know he's *definitely* more than capable of doing that - kidnap, assault, robbery, etc, he's done them all - and he's the son of a assistant commisioner).
Bye,
Victor
