  1. Re:From the TFA on Extortion Virus Code Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can see the future of TV advertising on its way now. "Watch Survivor:XXI next Monday night and pay attention to the scroll bar during the commercials in order to get your documents back!"

    Was he dropped on his head too many times as a baby?

    No, too few.

    lol, or maybe just from too low :)

    They were probably working on your document while on the can. Multitasking if you will. They could have used a laptop, but cooworkers never let you live that down.

    Theres no better way to disarm somebody than to laugh at them.

    If only Bush had thought of that instead.

    A La Carte (Score:0, Troll)

    When I can get zero "always on" channels for $0/month and get any show On-Demand for $1 I'll be ecstatic.

    $1-$5 for movies, too!

    I don't understand why you would be modded troll.
    If a cable company near me offered this, I might let them in my home. I only watch TV about once a month and its not worth getting any cable service for that. It would possibly change my viewing habits leading to more business.

  9. Re:Cracking encrypted files on Blue Gene/L Tops Its Own Supercomputer Record · · Score: 1
    Damn, sorry, I should have previewed...

    What about using it for cracking encrypted files? I remember seeing a chart somewhere for how long different classes of computing (home pc, company size distributed, some old supercomputer) would take to crack some types of encrypted files. I wonder where bluejeans would stack up and how long it would take.

    I looked here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute_force_attack#Th eoretical_limits , and it is saying that properly encrypted 128bit-key files are uncrackable.

    ps. I think i saw that cracking time chart for cracking encoded zip files and it was at http://www.elcomsoft.com/ but the site is blocked by websense so I can't find it.

    The "Foil Room" won't help against snooping as you'd like to believe. (Prepare to ditch all your foil hats!!).

  14. Re:This could turn out to be bad on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1
    If they can get AOL in on this too, it could be very bad.

    Everyone being able to talk to everyone else would be nice, but there are big downsides if it's a closed network. If it ends up that 9X% of users are on a single A/M/Y-IM network then it would be very hard for anyone else to break into the market.

    Yeah, whatever.... But imagine the AIMFights!

  18. Re:is this even useful? on Splashpower Boasts Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    I thought the same as you, but you just gotta use a wireless mouse for a while to appreciate how nice it is. Clears up a whole new area to set your beer bottles etc. where your cord used to be. Also very nice when somone other than you is sitting in your chair and you want to control your machine. Oh, and say you are playing a game, like BF2 and you want to get in the same server as your friend who is at a computer in the same room. Instead of just hammering at the server trying to get in, you can set your mouse pointer on the "JOIN GAME" button, pick up your mouse and carry it over to the other machine with you and watch your friend play while keeping an eye out for someone to disconnect and always be the first person to join the server. Mostly its just nice that it never gets caught up on anything though.

    After searching the web and downloading the files separately and going through the readme on how to install, I found that inside of Azureus there is a much quicker and easier installation option.

    Just use the `Installation Wizard' found under the Plugins dropdown.

    As someone who played WOW from release up till two month ago, and started Guildwars 3 weeks ago, I can say Guildwars, while fun, doesn't hold a candle to Warcraft. Guildwars is like a console version of WOW (meant as derogatory as possible).

    As far as a communitity, I can only assume you mean somewhere where you can listen to people spam...
