  1. Re:The Hong Kong Boy Scouts? on Hong Kong Boy Scouts to Protect IP · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, you are incorrect. The complete name was Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers. Thanks for playing though.

    Nah, it was the Hong Kong Cavaliers.

  3. Are you wearing my underwear? on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I just got back from seeing the film for the second time. It wasn't as funny as opening night for some strange reason. I guess I knew most of the funny bits but a few still made me chuckle. I would definitely be interested in a few more flicks as long as they included Disaster Area and Milliways. I hope they put a lot more Guide in the next one, and I wouldn't mind if HHGG films were comprised of 35% of this. I forgot to bring my 3D glasses to check out the Magrathean warning visual, but oh well, maybe I will get another chance on the next ones. Excellent work I thought on the Vogons by the Henson crew, but why did the Vogon queue line not include that same quality? It was nice to see the original TV Marvin make a guest appearance waiting very bored in line though. Deep Thought looked great and I can't wait to see the first custom mod case! Weird coincidence by the way, when we walked out of the theatre, the first movie poster I saw in the hallway was for an animated feature entitled "Madagascar"...cool.

  4. I am Ready on Tiny Holes Advance Quantum Computing · · Score: 0

    Leave behind the fiction...enter fantasy where no rules exist only pan-dimensional string theory quantum physics or mathematics or mechanics that allow alternate realities to exist in harmonizing sound wave patterns or energy fields in plasma energy rooms. Technology to harness the power of stars to race in the universe on a universal scale to leave the planet and this reality. To cross or otherwise render useless this Consciousness Grid. I am ready for quantum computing.

  5. A New Beginning on Stem Cells Cultivated Free of Animal Contaminants · · Score: 1, Interesting

    My friend who works with me at the chip fab clean room has been working in his spare time on such a process. This next generation hybrid wetware has no problem utilizing the extracellular matrices for eukaryotic cell adhesion and migration, but problems have been encountered regarding proliferation and differentiation. Once his research is complete I'm going to wire it on and jack into the net.

  6. Generation Gap on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 0

    My father never even made it to DVD. I tried to tempt him a few times with a DVD player and he even bought a shoebox full of discs at a garage sale, but he remains hopelessly committed to the VHS. He was proud enough to call me today to mention that he had successfully googled some antique car info that he was curious about. He is also curious about email, but hey, one day at a time I guess.

  7. TechnoCrime on Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    It's the new age of the technocracy. A new regime has been instituted and it is those that are at the nexus of data traffic that are the new technocrats. We shall all play our parts on the new stage of political circuitry. Whatever our function, however our mode, we all bear responsiblity over our computational fiefdoms. No longer can we sit idle behind screens and the random I/O. The power is both 110/220 and real.

    Arise From Your Graves. Long live the Technocrats. Attention, we are under attack! I am not kidding.

  8. Surprising Announcement on NSA Announces New Crypto Standards · · Score: 3, Funny

    "In a surprise announcement the RNC has announced it is bankrupt, but not everyone is going begging. Greenpeace, The United Negro College Fund, Amnesty International, and other charities announced *record* earnings this week. Due mostly to large, anonymous donations." NO MORE SECRETS

  9. Little Man, Big Plans on Hobbit Is A New Species · · Score: 5, Funny

    I truly believe these little people are the early prototype of ancient time traveling alien/human hybrid race. These people are the result of an extra-terrestial alien race mating with primates. The aliens have left but they will be back to check on our progress.

  10. Re:Social Evolution on Mitnick: Security Not about Technology · · Score: 0
    One of my favorite quotes:

    "So even if someone isn't really your enemy, identifying them as an enemy can cause a pleasant sense of group cohesion. And groups often gravitate towards members who are the most paranoid and make them leaders, because those are the people who are best at identifying external enemies."

    Wow, very interesting stuff from someone who has obviously been there from the beginning. Thank you.

  11. Social Evolution on Mitnick: Security Not about Technology · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is exactly how things become worse as time goes on. Now regular folks are going to become more rude and less interested in working with you to get things done. Trust me, the sheeple don't know how to defeat social engineering. They are used to fear and terror and will be distrustful of your attempts to get work done. A few can defend against rogue attempts to illicit secure information, but most will just be jerks about it and everybody hurts. More negativity. Well, it's something to work on and I guess that's what we do here on Earth...we work on stuff together. We talk about it on Slashdot, we IM our buddies and send them interesting links. Slowly their minds change to our influence. I found out at an early age how easily I can manipulate good people and it sickens me. I grew up, matured and avoid it at all costs. But it does come with a heavy price. Sometimes it is very hard to deal with good people. Especially stuck down here in my parents basement, looking for light swords and good time travel techniques. Forward into the fray.

  12. The Gig is Up on Indian Moon Mission to Have Landing Component · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hellooooo, the U.S. never landed on the moon. I strongly doubt India will ever have any success either.

  14. High Level of Importance on EU Software Patents Delayed Again · · Score: 0

    In this new era of globalization, it is important to assess the directions in which the EU responds towards technological progress. Soon the implications will affect US economy, and in such capacity, such forward thinking forecasts can provide useful insight into the direction of the marketplace.

  15. Code, Snort, Code, Snort on Rolling With Ruby On Rails · · Score: 3, Funny

    Back where I am from, using rails all night to code a project can land you in trouble with the law, drain you financially and mentally, and leave you with a nosebleed. Best stay away from this nonsense.

  16. Don't Panic on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1

    I for one, am completely oblivious. I will be nestled snugly in my movie theatre recliner, my feet firmly glued by the soda to the floor. The lights will dim, and I will be transported safely to another reality....away from Slashdot, away from my darling cat Maggie. If I am lucky I will have a large Icee with me, barring any inter-dimensional time-shifts in the sub-arctic frozen temperatures of the mixing mechanism. http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/

  17. Re:Skype used over sattelite link from mount evere on An Analysis of the Skype Protocol · · Score: 1

    Nice link. This is a quote from the article: "A CIA nightmare Conversation over SKYPE and RBGAN is at present considered impossible to eavesdrop. Thus it is a very cheap way to get a high-level security for military and business purposes, but the same is unfortunately also true for terrorists and criminals. SKYPE uses AES 256-bit encryption which is impossible to crack with present computer technology. The encryption keys are unique for each transfer and not stored by SKYPE. But beware if you are using SKYPE to call a normal landline or a cell phone - that phone can of course be tapped by others. " Hmmmm, I knew I smelled Trouble!

    Zen and the Art of Monetary Maintenance. You said it brother. Indeed. We do not have to optimize our internal search engines to know what is real and what is Memorex. The writing is on the wall, because yes indeedy we wrote that graffiti. Well, off to the park to feed the ducks!

  22. SOS - Big Corp steal Little Man $ on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    My hair is falling out right now at the news of another Huge Company exorcising my comic book money right out from my coffee can buried in the backyard. Jiminy Christmas, we're all part and parcel when we arise from our graves and head out to our collective McJobs. Well, unfortunately the Mice got too smart and now they have discovered another angle to spirit away that dough. Trust Me, folks - The Giant Hamster Wheel is about to fall off the axle. Stick a barcode on me and mail me to Turkmenistan, but I'm taking my papyrus and india ink with me... and leaving my Hayche Pee carts here.
