Most P2P applications already have anti-poisoning mechanisms, anyways - like E-Mule. They just use md5 hashes (ie checksums) on segments of a file, say every one-tenth of the file. If the data is bad, it gets thrown out.
This happened way before unscrupulous corporations got clever. Files get corrupt all the time in transmission for lots of reason, be it client-side or network.
Bottomline - nice try, HBO, but you are just wasting everyone's time and bandwidth, including yours.
>>Have they done something to improve the CSS layout glitches with Opera? Still not perfect, but seems to be improved now.
Not sure about that, but I am starting to like Opera more and more. A lot of sites are starting to have pop-ups that avoid firefox filters. Opera being the avant-garde browser of the day seems able to avoid these new breed of popup annoyances really well.
AFAIK, most modern trojans and rootkits avoid opening up a listening port altogether and use a reverse-connect mechanism. An open port hosted by "ignoreme.exe" is a red flag for anyone running a software firewall.
Illicit drugs:
Definition Field Listing [Peru] until 1996 the world's largest coca leaf producer; emerging opium producer; cultivation of coca in Peru fell 15 percent to 31,150 hectares between 2002 and the end of 2003; much of the cocaine base is shipped to neighboring Colombia for processing into cocaine, while finished cocaine is shipped out from Pacific ports to the international drug market; increasing amounts of base and finished cocaine, however, are being moved to Brazil and Bolivia for use in the Southern Cone or transshipped to Europe and Africa
Thank you for your time.

All heil Grisoft, our new AV overlords! Free AV is the best thing sinced sliced bread, and it doesn't consume 512mb in ram like symantec sh*t. My only complaint is when the AV pops up at 3am when I am in the middle of playing cs.
Doesn't look like I will have enough $ to purchase it anytime soon with or without the drive. I will just cross my fingers and hope someone writes an emulator for the system. Does the zsnes team read slashdot? Or perhaps the WINE team could use a side project (hint hint).

Google snatched them all up and is "artifically" raising their salaries. Damn it Google!! Why must you be so cruel?
Great post. If all posts on slashdot were as informative as this, the world would be a better place.
Curiously, do you think Yahoo is undervalued? Recently they announced Adsense like services, which is where the majority of Google's profits are from. At ~$34 a share and google at $279, there has to be some serious room for growth IMO.
>> once you've got into a university library, you'll never go back to the public library again.
When finals came around during the Spring, the university library was crowded so I decided to try a public library to study. Bad move. Screaming children running around while mommy looks at romance novels and very little elbow room was my experience.
University libraries on the other hand are *full* of books that you would otherwise have to buy off Borders or Amazon. Only complaint about my university library is the occasional homeless guy sleeping in it.
It's entirely possible that being afraid of the fact that the belief in God remains popular would incline one to want to or hope that someday someone in the future will find a way to eliminate it.
Conversely, it seems there are many dare-I-say right wing agendas in D.C. that would love nothing more but to stop any scientific research in this area involving genetic engineering and stem cell research.
Ironically, the best thing that could have happened to Microsoft would have been for them to have been split into 3 or more companies.
Are you implying that Microsoft is becoming the next IBM with all their "infrastructure?" Maybe I am reading too far into things, but Microsoft seems to be doing pretty damn well. Sure, they have only grown in revenue a few percent this year, but that is still billions.
And the pay cut isn't a problem, it's just a matter of understanding what's important in life, and leaving the world of silly consumerism behind.
As much as I want to agree with you, I can't.
Sure, you don't need a 10 thousand dollar plasma tv to be happy. You don't even need hot water to be happy. But it helps!
One of the things I'm looking forward to in the next ten years is travelling. Europe, Hawaii, that kind of thing. Can you do this while working at Burger King? No! What about a $10/hr tech support job? Possibly, if you live frugally (read: cheap).
Leaving the world of consumerism is definitely an option. However, if would like to see the world and enjoy "luxaries" of iPods, not having to shop at Walmart, etc, Getting a well payed job is probably the way to go, even if it sucks.
Yea, I was just going to say its now $199 but you can't sell it as used next year. Nor can you buy a used version.
No, but now you can get a torrent for it. Bit Torrent - an enabling technology!
Looks like all those yearly revisions of textbooks (has calculus really changed that much since 1990? 1950? 1850?) to screw students out of money aren't going to work that well anymore.

Of course you are comfortable, you live in your mom's basement! I bet she even brings you cookies and lemonade on saturdays.
$30k a year aint shit, n*gga.

OK moderators, whoever modded me flamebait, you're an idiot. Exerpt from CIA World Factbook - Peru:

With all the drug money, I don't see why not.
Just wait till he discovers porn, then you won't be able to get him off the PC.
- analyzed a OS X root kit and determined it ran on OS X
The sad part is the "security profesional" doing this likely rakes in a $60k+ salary.

Nevermind, that sounds terrible!

Hate to break it to you, but your friend is a blog-whore.

Funny how your argument works both ways, isnt it?
