  1. A week? on Bill Cheswick On Internet Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would call a week very long time for something as vital as the Internet now is.

  2. Re:no need to panic on Chinese Prof Cracks SHA-1 Data Encryption Scheme · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Slashdot is truly the only place where "Fbzrgvzrf vg'f orfg gb uvqr va gur bcra." can be modded "Insightful".

  3. Re:The whole article appears to be FAKE on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, this has been reported by Dagens Nyheter, The Daily News, which is Sweden's largest and most serious newspaper.

  4. Re:According to whom?! on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 1

    Because http://polisen.se/ doesn't even mention that this has happened, so unless you are in direct contact with the Swedish police you can't get any info from them.

  5. Re:Predefined one-time keys are insecure on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 1

    Since I have my money in Nordea, I can confirm that this is fully correct. After three erroneous codes, they will send you a new scratch card by mail automatically, but I don't know if they deactivate the login for some days meanwhile. I suppose not.

  6. Re:Drag people in the theatres by lowering standar on Game Music Concerts Spread Gamer Culture · · Score: 1

    I have been to one single concert in my life (I am 16), and I remember it as being pretty bland, mostly because I didn't recognize any of the musical pieces that they played. Last year, however, Play! A Video Game Concert came to Stockholm, but since I live a bit away from there I decided not to visit it.

    However, when I heard the music that they had played, even though it had been recorded with a video camera, I immediately loved it since it both had the massive sound of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and the lovely tunes of the games I've played. When tickets were released for a new concert this year, I had a ticket within minutes, even though I have 650 km to travel to get there.

    I have no doubt I will enjoy it.

    And oh, the music is partly arranged by, in the video game world, big names like Nobuo Uematsu, composer of the Final Fantasy music. So I wouldn't call it junk.

  7. Re:A question I alwais ask when discussing this... on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    You might want to check this out. Or go back to school.

  8. Re:More interesting question! on What is Apple Without Steve Jobs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The same thing, but with 100% less squirting.

  9. Re:Any "gifts"? on Virtual Console Christmas is Retrotastic · · Score: 5, Interesting

    While the pictures of several games with the price tag "Free" are real, it is not because they will be free to download, only because they haven't been given a price yet.

  10. Slow... on Virtual Console Christmas is Retrotastic · · Score: 1

    Slow news day is slow?

  11. In Europe? on Ultrawideband Soon To Be Legal In Europe · · Score: 1

    Last time i checked, Europe was not a nation. I suppose the article means the European Union, but isn't it better to keep the meanings intact? Also, aren't EU bills only a recommendation for the EU states, which have to accept it one by one as well?

  12. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN -- PARENT IS A TROLL!!! on Azureus' HD Videos Attempt To Trump YouTube · · Score: 0, Troll

    Not trying to troll. The Azureus i know is a crappy Bittorrent program, and i wonder what makes their team "geniuses".

  13. Masterminds? on Azureus' HD Videos Attempt To Trump YouTube · · Score: -1, Troll
    The new Zudeo site, made by the masterminds behind the bittorrent service
    Azureus? Geniuses? What did i miss?
  14. Re:OSTG? on "Sysadmin of the Year" Winners Announced · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Didn't you see it? Pwnd!

  15. So? on Vista Designed to Make Malware Easy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Pirates risk getting malware with their downloaded Vista. Is this a problem?

  16. Re:It better. on Windows Vista and XP Head To Head · · Score: 1

    No, but I have run Windows 98 on a 486. It was slow but worked well.

  17. Re:wow on The Wii Launches in Japan · · Score: 3, Informative

    6.5% (estimation from 2000 numbers) of the US population lives in New York and about 3% in New York City. Assuming that Times Square actually Toys'R Us got 3000, that's reasonable since it's a very central location. 1200 was in just one store, not necessarily the hugest one either.

  18. Percent confusion on The Soul of A New Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative
    Its shares, which soared 9,560% throughout the 1990s, sunk 63% in 2000 when the Internet bubble burst, and they have yet to fully recover."
    If there is someone out there that thinks this was a minor loss because of the strange wording, it wasn't.
  19. They forgot... on Trusted Or Treacherous Computing? · · Score: 0

    ...who the users father is, and what he does.

  20. As John Lennon said on Can the Web Survive v3.0 · · Score: 0

    One day at the time Is all we do

  21. How long before... on The World's Most-High Tech Urinal · · Score: 0

    How long before we have a jackass episode spending one full day in one of these?

  22. I, for one... on British "Secure" Passports Cracked · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...welcome our new tin foil overlords.

  23. This is... on RFID Tech Infiltrating a British Institution · · Score: 0

    ...FUD at it's finest. Seriously, this has nothing at all to do with the surveillance society that we all fear.

  24. Clog? on 100 Gbps Via Ethernet · · Score: 0
    Are they laying fiber that will bring them to Tbps, or will that stuff clog the way to getting these speeds ourselves?
    That depends on how many internets they try to send at a time.
  25. Why bother? on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 0

    I use a spam filter. Much easier than having everyone read your email through a captcha.
