  1. Re:Had Enough on Malware Hijacks Windows Update · · Score: 1

    How about not? I definitely plan on writing malware once I get more involved with network security. I shouldn't have to go to jail just because I wrote some malicious code. Releasing it into the wild on the other hand....

  2. Re:Jehovah's Witness Compatible? on Scientists Create Artificial Blood · · Score: 1

    Actually, I would suspect that some Witnesses would be hesitant to receive such a transfusion without a thorough understanding of exactly what is involved. After-all, the reasons for refusing blood are based on respect for God's view on the sanctity of blood, not the simple fact that it is, as you put it, a "no-no."

  3. Ahhhhh.... G.P!!! on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    GRAND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL in Grand Prairie, Texas makes for a great Quake 2 map...
    Trust me... I know...

    P.S. Please don't arrest me.

  4. Re:Surprised it took so long on Cryptome to be Terminated by Verio/NTT · · Score: 1

    Pr0n-ibition?

  5. Dosen't matter anyway on Cryptome to be Terminated by Verio/NTT · · Score: 1

    Sadly, this doesn't matter as much as it might once have. Cryptome has obviously been compromised in some fashion, either being bought I've been going to the site for years, getting hooked on it once I read about a corporate espionage Keylogger called DIRT.

    Lately, however, the site has produced very little that isn't public domain already. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good site to quickly find things the government has already "told" us, or is commonly believed knowledge, but what happend to the Cryptome that published a list of active British MI6 operatives and refused to take it down?

  6. Sounds good... on Serious Game May Help Track Missing Kids · · Score: 1

    ... but it probably won't be. Another one of those "works great in theory" ideas.

  7. Re:Perhaps it's the men... on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 5, Funny

    There are CRT's out here still, ya know.

  8. More importantly... on Anti-Spam Suits and Booby-Trapped Motions · · Score: 2, Funny

    What happens when you put enough scotch into his daughter?

  9. Re:There is no right age on You Played Violent Games - Why Can't Your Kids? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Scared by Peter and The Wolf, hu? Must have been that damned Wolf leitmotif. French Horns are evil. ;P

  10. Re:Actually, I played pinball and Centipede on You Played Violent Games - Why Can't Your Kids? · · Score: 1

    When the fight 'em kick 'em punch 'em games came in, the arcade became a ghost town.
    I remember playing a LOT of Street Fighter and other fighting games at arcades.
  11. Re:Sponsoring? on How Pro Gaming Will Change World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Exactly. My rogue's DPS suffers considerably because I'm specced for PvP. My motto is to be able to get out of anything and quickly gain advantage in a fight. I'm not the one trick pony rogues that I see so often relying on high burst DPS in order to win fights against an evenly matched opponent. Rather I focus on having an answer for everything. That's the key to playing WoW properly, learning the rock - paper - scissors approach that's found in many games either overtly or subtly and is very overtly present in WoW.

  12. Re:It doesn't matter Who was here first. on When Were the Americas Populated? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The dude was an obvious Troll and you need to reconsider your own education, considering that you left off a question mark at the end of a question in your first post. Also, you'd be wrong if you called me a skin-head since I'm a black man. Which reminds me of the futility of racial-name calling over the internet and further reinforces my satisfaction in my decision to congratulate a post that denounces such a sad attempt at trolling.

  13. Re:It doesn't matter Who was here first. on When Were the Americas Populated? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Damn, owned!

  14. Re:P120 Laptop on XP On 8-MHz Pentium With 20 MB RAM · · Score: 1

    That system must have cost a fortune originally! I remember, cause I wanted one. I had a similar model with a Pentium 90 and 8MB RAM and a much smaller hard drive and the thought of 16MB memory and half a gig of storage was drool-worthy. Good thing it's still being used for something. ;P

  15. Re:Worked for me on Getting in to a Top Tier College? · · Score: 1

    It's a girl, you insensitive clod!

  16. Re:Wrong way on Building a Silicon Brain · · Score: 1

    I Hope they don't try to mimic yours!

  17. Sampling, creative liscence and outright theft. on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 1

    Taking the same song and playing it on a different instrument for profit without the proper approval is copyright infringement. Taking A RECORDING of a song and modifying it into a different work is an example of sampling. Apologies to all engineers and recording technicians who know the amount of work that goes into recording a perfect mix. Disregard that for now.
    Most of the more famous cases of musical rip-offs have been less obvious and involve the chord structure of the song, not the actual melody. Probably because no one would be dumb enough to rip off an entire melody and just paste their name on it. ... Unless of course they thought they wouldn't get caught. look up the suit that the Bright Tunes Music Corp. brought up against George Harrison of the Beetles in 1976. The decision involved musical phrasing and motifs, not the song's actual melody. Timbaland didn't even bother changing the song's key.

  18. Re:Roommates? on "Dracula's Castle" For Sale In Romania · · Score: 4, Funny

    Okay, who's the wise guy who keeps hiding all these hearts behind my candles?

  19. Re:sweet on "Dracula's Castle" For Sale In Romania · · Score: 1
    What chick wouldn't want to go back to a castle? Of love?
    Oh, I dunno... one that wants to keep her blood?
  20. Solution: on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 1

    Pull the video from your cache
    Burn it to DVD and copy x times
    Pass out free copies of the video on the street and offer them for free in every public place you possibly can.

    If you don't have access to dvds or don't want to pay for them, them simply print up fliers with a URL where the video can be downloaded and they can burn it and pass it out themselves.

  21. Re:Outrageous on Source Code Access Denied in Disputed Race · · Score: 1

    If the shadowy hacker is so clever and dangerous, then they should be MORE worried about them getting hold of the closed software and exploiting it while no one can do anything about it because of the fact that it's closed to us good people who could have caught the problem before it became a (major) problem.

  22. Re:Broken Premise? on WarGames Sequel Now Filming · · Score: 1

    Alicia Silverstone is everything except pre-teen... Uggh...

  23. Re:No, I have no supercomputing requirements. on Are You Switching to 64-bit Processors? · · Score: 1

    I'm a composer (amateur/beginner) and I have 2GB of memory and it's not enough. I plan on, going to 4 or possibly more so i can load orchestral samples. Once i get my full MIDI setup I should be able to span my orchestra over several PC's.

  24. Re:Ooo! I saw this in a movie once! on Create Living Cells With an Inkjet Printer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure, but buy in bulk so you'll have enough left over to grow her some tits.

  25. Played for two weeks on Diary of a WoW Noob's Addiction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    .... and yes, battlegrounds are crackity crack crack! But still.. my interest is waining quickly. I've gone from 4 hours a day to only two hours this week. AND we had an ice storm today. that had everyone at home, but I still only logged three capture the flag matches before I got back to something else. I played Everquest for about 6 years and after that, you just don't want to log those sort of hours in a game anymore. Believe me. Once it's worn off it's worn off for good. It doesn't matter what the next game is going to be. Unless you happen to just LOVE mmorpg's your addiction will eventually burn out over time.
