  1. The kid's right. on Steam Hacker Says More Vulnerabilities Will Be Found (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    So here's a fun test I tried. I work at a corp that has a public wifi hotspot (wanderingwifi). I disconnected my system from ethernet and connected it to the public hotspot. Steam loaded up the splash page right inside of the store page window. I did some further investigation, the browser is detected as chrome 47 under windows 8. Being as the current version of chrome is 50 I can only imagine the exploits that are available for the version that's used for steam. Good luck getting GabeN to do anything about it though; valve customer service is a disgrace to the IT industry.

Whoops, I say due to the TOS google needs to stop linking to them whatsoever. Asshats.

  3. Re:The most dangerous? on The Unspoken Taboo - The Never Expiring Password · · Score: 0

    These are very dangerous, I changed my neighbors default 801.1g router's password for them the day I started stealing their internet!

  4. These women have it easy.. on When The Other Woman Is An Xbox · · Score: 0
    As someone who left a job making 40,000 a year and went into a life of hardship for a woman with a different issue, I say this.

    Quit your bitching

    Alcoholics and drug abusers (not users) can be 10x worse than any gamer. Deal with it, it's a non-destructive hobby that while can be taken overboard will not cause harm to either party.

    Good thing I know when to pull the plug on such things..

    What is your other hand doing, using your remote control?

    I fail to understand the relevance of your post, you should perhaps masturbate more.

  11. I call bullshit on MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Network stations have no reason to not show quality programming now.

    IIRC network television is all supplemented with advertising funds to make the particular network money, whereas the premium channels take a cut from the cableco for their income.

    Network television has essentially been worthless for years due to the fact that advertising based income is a somewhat broken model, where HBO / Cinemax can afford to make quality programming due to their business model.

    If america folds over and accepts this, we'll simply be rewarded by more subquality programming and potentially higher premium prices.

    Those were good days, in 2 color pixelated goodness. I hope the new one holds up to the philosophy of gameplay that made castlevania great.

    Whistler used vampires to cure cancer. According to the press release on www.foxvampirenews.com whistler was quoted as stating:

    "Being bitten by vampires sucks, but at least I still have my testicles"

    I would rather use nanotech to cure my cancer.

    Ah, I see.. Invasive possums, that is a scary thought.

    Thanks for the info!

  21. Re:A good use for this. on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 1, Informative
    Well, I don't understand why this is a big deal in NZ. Here in the USA (Indiana) we have rednecks that hunt possums with their big ol' redneck trucks. I commute about 30 miles a day and regularly see about 20 killed on the road a week.


    With that being said, Possum tastes really good with onions and a side of grits (and gravel)

  24. PSP functionality- on Playboy on Playstation Portable · · Score: 0
    The PSP has good functionality for becoming a all-in-one multimedia system. Picture capability, Movie capability (With PSP Video 9 conversion software) and mp3 playback.

    The usefulness of the Playboy/PSP deal is the formatting, the PSP being a odd widescreen angle is rather difficult to get the appropriate quality on.

    Although it will open up the eyes to the masses, PSP=PornStationPortable
