  1. Is it spoofable on Fingerprints Replace Credit Cards in Seattle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A person with good slight of hand talent could easily use the gummi bear trick.
    I also wonder if they allow this to very age for purchase of alcohol and tobacco.

  2. Re:Linux Newbie question on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 1

    PS: what distro would you recommend.

  3. Linux Newbie question on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 1

    Does Linux and it's programs utilize dual processors (PIII) well. (I know that if i'm here on /. I should know this already. But please, be gentle, It's my first time.)

  4. Re:Why are game companies bitching? on Game Software Sales Reach $7.3B in 2004 · · Score: 1

    Cause it worked for the RIAA?

  5. Re:Not Yet on Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too · · Score: 1

    Maybe bad choice of words. But, the fact remains that other color options are out there, which give me more control over what I want on my discs. I choose them.

  6. Not Yet on Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too · · Score: 2, Informative

    Call me when they print in color, the FAQ says it only does grayscale.

  7. Re:WHY?! on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    But since we don't know, how do we know that we are duplicating with 100% accuracy, and that the same methods would work transferring when trying to work on a human?

  8. WHY?! on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    We barely understand the human brain. Shouldn't we grasp it a little more before we go shoving them into other animals.

  9. Re:It is very pointed on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 1

    But if it wasn't mentioned there'd be a HUGE uproar about how there was no mention.

  10. Proof on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    While it's all well and good to admit the mistakes, the proof will actually be if they actually CHANGE to avoid these mistakes in the future. I hope they do.

  11. Dupe Spin on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hey /. editors. Do the PR thing and tell everyone it's not a dupe, It's the 'Best Of'. The Beatles and Elvis have been getting away with it for decades. Hell, that shithole of a network G4Techtv calls it 'retro'.

  12. Possibility on EA Nets Another Exclusivity Deal · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're gonna use the AFL in a franchise mode in the Madden game. Work your way up to the big league, like in their Fifa game where you start from the smaller clubs and work your way up to the Manchester Uniteds, Barcelonas, etc.

    (plus they're probably just screwing w/ Sega that much more.)

  13. I know this was just a fire drill... on Asteroid Flies Under the Radar, Literally · · Score: 1

    But, anybody know how I get on the list for that presidential underground bunker, end of the world thingee. (PS: even if you knew first, I call dibs)

  14. Re:Sad Times on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 1

    I think SSX took a lot of it's ideas from the N64 game 1080

  15. Re:eureka! on High School Dropout, Self-Taught Chip Designer · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't buy them because they're terrible quality and I really can't believe that they're still in malls as they're illegal (but we've been down this road before).

  16. Re:Mastercard on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it paranoia, I'd call it researching a company that I don't know much about. And yes, the fact that it's halfway across the world does make me a little more cautious, especially since the service they provide is borderline legal. I also don't have a problem with which country it's in, the problem is that it's not my country, which reduces my rights tremendously should something go wrong. The fact that I'm even asking should show that I'm not THAT paranoid, or I would dismiss the whole thing. I just wanted to see what users' experiences have been w/ allofmp3.com. And to those that have replied; thank you. I think I might try it out.

  17. Re:A way around it all. on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 1

    What payment method do you use for allofmp3.com, I'd like to try, but I'm not confident enough of a Russian site to use my credit card

  18. Re:Once again, Microsoft blames the users. on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1
    I have recently found a copy of an old check from an anti-virus company to a student which proves that the student was paid to write viruses to help improve the bottom line


    How do you know they weren't paying the student to build viruses to build up the database and make the software stronger, making them more ready should a similar attack be released. Sure, my argument is speculative, but isn't yours as well?
  19. Humans SP1 on Gigabyte's Dual-GPU Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    I really wish God would just release the source code for humans, or at least give us a firmware upgrade, new drivers and/or a Service Pack. Because most humans I meet are more buggy and vulnerable than any hole in M$ Windows. Step anywhere outside of your house (maybe inside as well) and you'll see that the 'Idiot Bug' is running rampant. Come to think of it, that's probably how we ended up w/ Dubya as the leader of the free world.

  20. NYT Ad on New Spoofing Vulnerability in IE · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In the NYT ad, they should've added every IE bug that's been discovered since Firefox was released. I mean they are probably the biggest contributors to FF's popularity.

  21. Re:To Summarize... on Editorial: On the SpikeTV Video Game Awards · · Score: 1

    I agree. I also say, what happens when a winner of an award has an in game sponsorhip by one of the sponsors of the game show. Wouldn't this be a great conflict of interest. Wouldn't/Shouldn't that call into question the award show's integrity (I know, I know, not that there was any integrity to begin with.)

  22. Re:I've stopped predicting things on PSP Opened up and Exposed · · Score: 1

    It IS a movie player, because you'll be able to watch the movies whether they be on UMD or encoded into Mpeg-4 on a memory stick, but it IS able to play them and on a pretty nice screen too. I also didn't say it was a small music player, just a music player. I'm also not suggesting that it will sell on these points alone. I'm saying that these are included, which if you're taking a trip could come in handy in a single package (provided the battery lasts). I not even really trying to be the lone flag bearer for the PSP, I just think we should wait and see what happens when it gets to market before we print out it's death certificate. The consumer market can be surprising and occasionally drawn to the shiny new object of the moment (one person gets it and loves it, then he tells two friends and she tells two friends and so on and so on and so on). Probably would've been smarter if it hit the American market before X-mas though.

  23. Re:Completely unrelated question on America's Army - FPS Psych Experiment · · Score: 1

    (in best drill sargent voice)
    SON! Have you ever heard of the concept we call HUMOR!
    Seriously. While I may not have been funny, I was anything but serious. Don't you think if I were that anxious to play a free game that's been out for months, I would've already done so? Maybe next time I'll add a disclaimer.

    Attention: Canada SHOULD NEVER be the answer to avoiding US Army recruiting.
    (use Mexico, they have a warmer climate, cheaper cost of living and donkey shows)

  24. No More Call Waiting on Mozilla Heading to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    Now I'll have Tabbed Conversations!

  25. Completely unrelated question on America's Army - FPS Psych Experiment · · Score: 1

    How do I fake my IP address to say I'm in Canada

    (They'll never figure out my master plan, and coupled with my tin foil hat, I'll be completely uncatchable. Plus, they can't see my true thoughts, cause I'm typing in these magic 'make my thoughts invisible' parentheses. I'm so damn smart and discrete. Stupid Army Recruiters. Mwahahahahahahahahahah.....hahahah..Ha..hahah!)

    PS: Hahhahahahahahahahahahah...I mean (HAHAHAHAHAHHAH.....HAHA...............heh heh heheheheh...Heh ha)
