    Most of the games have liscensed content, raising their popularity but not their worth as a game. There may be some good ones, but this list does not include ones for hardcore gamers.

  3. Re:I'm not a quantum engineer on Significant Advance in Quantum Computing · · Score: 5, Informative

    Wikipedia has a good comparison of the differences between a traditional register and a quantum register (qubits).

  4. The eternal question on More on Newly Broken SHA-1 · · Score: 1

    Is SHA pronounced 'ess-aych-ay' or 'shah' or what?

  5. Re:88 mph on London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    Is 30 kilos of plutonium enough to provide one point twenty-one jigawatts of power?

  6. 2.0-RC1 on Stonehenge Version 2.0 Completed · · Score: 4, Interesting
  7. Re:Time to dust off your XBox on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 1

    Aren't there several thousand people dedicated enough to run a distributed computing application that breaks it?

  8. Time to dust off your XBox on SHA-1 Broken · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "The copy prevention system of Microsoft's Xbox game console relies on the security of SHA-1." -- The all knowing Wikipedia

    Maybe now we can crack some XBox stuff and run homebrew code on a homeburned dvd (dual-layer, of course.) Please correct me if I don't understand something. I thought M$ used RSA or something to encrypt their games and used SHA-1 signatures as checkpoints?

  9. UNIX timeline on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 0, Redundant
  10. Re:Gentoo on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1, Informative

    For someone who doesn't seem to have much experience with the distributions, Gentoo may not be the best thing to use for immediate use. Gentoo is great but it takes a while to get things tweaked to take full advantage of your system. Everything is an adventure with Gentoo (your first time) and probably isn't good for the faint of hearted sysadmin in a production environment.

    My suggestion: start with Debian (or anything quick and stable) then experiment with Gentoo until you think you've got it down. Once you're ready, make an iso and you're good to go for any level of deployment.

  11. shortchanged on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 1

    When asked whether people should be allowed to express unpopular views, 97 percent of teachers and 99 percent of school principals said yes.

    Why do I always get the extreme minority?

  12. Hmm... on MPAA Releases Software For Parents · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does it work on linux?

  13. Re:AMD65?! on Ubuntu Linux Live CD Release · · Score: 1

    Technically speaking, AMD's 64-bit processors don't use longer instructions,
    but the register size is 64 bits so it can address 2^64 bits of memory (with one register.)
