  1. Re:This is awesome... on Semi-Automatic Hacking of Masked ROM Code From Microscopic Images · · Score: 1

    The devs don't have a working Raiden II board. I do (arcade cabinet got leaked upon from the top, ruined the CRT and controls, board left intact and undamaged.) Decapping will DEFINITELY help as Raiden II had a coprocessor to help handle the incessant bulletstorm.

    Sadly that perfect emulation also means perfect errors popping up on poorly-coded ROMs.

    This is why I use ZSNES for Super Nintendo. Those errors in ROM, ZSNES can work around them without any in-game problems. Byuu does exactly as it's supposed to, and fails upon the error.

    Sometimes, perfect emulation isn't warranted.

    "I'll appeal to authority instead and tell you that it is what Google uses and Google cares about the responsiveness of the UI."

    Yep, we care about responsiveness, and don't care about the hundreds of vulnerabilities baked-in to the fucking language.

    Sorry, your appeal to authority failed miserably.

    "What the summary seems to be leaving out is this: Javascript will be the language they suggest n00bs who want to learn Gnome programming start with."

    What the summary is leaving out (and doesn't need to state) is that this is about to be a massive disaster for Linux. Thanks for baking the vulnerability right into the fucking UI, assholes.

    Whomever modded this as flamebait very obviously is a shill or someone that's never 'programmed' with such a bullshit language such as Javascript.

    The GNOME team is filled with idiots - just read the changelogs and forums dedicated to GNOME. Holy hell, these people need to shut the fuck up and go back to school.

    Oh, you're a JavaScript shill, judging by your comment history.

    "but once Gmail chat works conveniently, without having to install a plugin, it will become a serious threat."

    That will never happen. Google has the propensity to want to install shit on your computer (google video adapter #1 and #2, anyone?) so it can farm your ass for advertising eyeballs.

    Which makes Google completely fucking useless to me, now and forever, except for their e-mail, which really isn't all that great either.

    "But I'm sure there will never be any cross site vulnerability that lets a compromised site in another tab listen in on my conference session. That will never happen."

    It's fully encrypted, you moron. The only vulnerability that will allow what you speak of basically requires someone to be at your computer, or someone fucked up the encryption implementation.

    Your name truly indicates your ignorance. The larger and more complex a system gets, the more holes you're bound to find to exploit.

    Hi, we had multi-node linked BBSes back then, if you had a couple of roboboards and spare computers. Micro internet, right in your house! A whopping TWO GIGS of information!

    We also had dial-up routing back then and could link with other BBSes in other states (we didn't do this because of long distance rates, but it has been done experimentally.)

  19. Re:iterative innovation on Are There Any Real Inventors Left? · · Score: 2

    No, as you could make a BBS be very similar to slashdot. You just had to do all the updating yourself, by hand. Oh, and we had other things slashdot doesn't have, like games, and an actual chat system, and mailboxes, and lots of ascii pron to download.

    Slashdot is really a trimmed-down version of a BBS, that requires MORE resources.

    You don't know shit about the definition of Hacker.
