  1. you didnt get it on Adult Swim To Offer Streaming Video Option · · Score: 1

    ever heard of ripping from a live stream? :P its not exactly hard

  2. wow on Adult Swim To Offer Streaming Video Option · · Score: 1

    an almost legal source for pirating TV shows...

  3. shards on Hacking the Fluorescent Light · · Score: 1

    if the tube breaks, not only can you use the shards for lighting for the next hour or so, you can also easily dispose of the shards too (well duh, theres no lighting and all the pieces of the tube are glowing :P)

  4. Re:Top secret info on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1

    If you mean getting caught talking nasty to your intern on a cell phone then all bets are off. thank god you saw the hidden meaning :P

  5. Top secret info on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many government officials in DC using insecured headsets will be caught off-guard by this?

  6. Old news on Wired Interviews Mike Lynn · · Score: 1

    Start.com has been known for ages. Its a sandbox experiment, and theyve already released 1 and 2 already, along with "My web" Editors messed up again? o.O

  7. Re:Notable quote on Ian Clarke and Freenet in the Crosshairs · · Score: 1

    I know ;) I told him to search CNN for it. However, other posts mentioned the patriot act, which is a huge example.

  8. Re:Notable quote on Ian Clarke and Freenet in the Crosshairs · · Score: 1

    If anyone can give actual provable examples of the US government abridging Constitutionally protected free speech, I'd love to hear it. search CNN my friend I can give plenty of examples when the US government violated privacy. The biggest one is the phone tapping power the DoD seems to have. Terrorism happens, and no matter what one tries to do, as unfortunate as it may sound, the terrorists are determined enough that they will find a loophole. We should be spending our time not eavesdropping on our muslim neighbor's conversations (I know it happens. Dont tell me it doesnt) and fix up our crime issues, get rid of drunk driving, among other things. Free speech and privacy are violated all the time in this country in order to "secure our country" from some vague and obscure threat.

  9. Im willing to bet... on Mac OS X Intel Kernel Uses DRM · · Score: 1

    Im willing to bet that that idea wasnt considered by apple until you (parent post) wrote about it here :P

  10. Has to be a dupe on Cable Wants to Cut the Cord · · Score: 1

    Either its a deja-vu, or its a dupe. I cant find the link, but Im 100% positive this was slashdotted once already, and a long time ago too.

  11. Hmm... on VoIP Security · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Cant we just stick to regular telephones? I dont want my 911 call to be interrupted by a denial of service attack...

  12. Clearly, that guy... on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    1) got owned, and 2) ticked someone off big time. If he didnt spam people, he probably wouldve been fine.

  13. Re:fells like dvorak... on Yahoo Purchases Konfabulator · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "fells like dvorak..." Dvorak does fellatio? thats a thought that I dont really want to imagine...

  14. Re:Already been done... on Matrix-Style Bullet Time for Realtime Online Games · · Score: 1

    I think the point was that a person in bullet-time can get a five second slow-down advantage (so that he can, say, dodge a bullet) and the person shooting the bullets wont notice the slowdown - theyll just notice that they missed.

  15. Its official on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting
  16. Re:Talked about earlier... on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    but the point is that this is lethal for about 25% of the people hit by it for more than five seconds. they will likely die a slow and painful death later in their lives from a disease which usually is caused by factories, the sun, and nuclear powerplants, not by the government.

  17. Re:Talked about earlier... on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Im going by the fact that there is some skin which is being burned and generally, EM burns (UV rays, microwaves, anything which burns the skin via light) can lead to cancer :P

  18. Error (I thought I hit preview -_-) on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    I meant Giant, not guant :( I hate shifty mice to make sure this post is not offtopic: I found this link: http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Microwave-Crowd-Di spersal.htm

  19. Talked about earlier... on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Ive heard of this earlier (a guant satellite dish which uses mwaves to burn 1/64th of the skin... I think it was discussed on ABC about 3 years ago) Its not a bad concept but now that I think about it, it will likely trigger some sort of massive health crisis once everyone in Iraq gets cancer from this thing :( I think its too inhumane for use.

  20. mirrordot helps here :) on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 1
  21. Re:Duh on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 1

    http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/1 3/2322254&tid=99&tid=14 Get some of that and some water and there you have it. it would be far more dense than gaseous H2, even after you offset it with the sodium

  22. Re:Sodium on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 2, Informative
  23. Duh on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 0

    Weve got sound based fusion reactors nearing break-even, AND we have what could be an easy way to generate hydrogen from water using sodium. Now, with this in mind, tell me why ethanol is needed?

  24. Re:DVRs? on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 1

    arent they both the same thing though? I mean... they both record video for me

  25. DVRs? on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I guess this means that they dont control their PVRs... hmm are they both the same thing? I would assume they are. Anyways, i know my woman doesnt control my DVR, as she doesnt know much about controlling a computer :P
