  1. Much Like GameGuard .... on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Seems to be a growing trend to use spyware based programs by large company's to extract information so they can "prevent" hacks.

    GameGuard used by NCSoft in Lineage2 is very similiar when it seems to create more problems then it solves.

    In fact GameGuard does not block one single hack I know of for Lineage .....

  2. Re:what? on Using Cell Phones to Track Traffic · · Score: 4, Informative

    This has been going on for the past 6 months in Maryland.

    MMTIS uses the movement between towers, without collecting personal information, and uses that data to determine speed and movement in specific areas.

  3. Workplace on Fully Automated IM Worms on the Way? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Its a shame that AIM is so widly used in the workplace even though is so vunerable
    I know our IT department frowns upon it but walking around you still see it used ....
    Its only a matter of time until something like this came out that has the potential to severly damage both corporate and private networks ....

  4. Re:Links.... on Unblock Google Cache in China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Knowing the chinese:

    Those responsible have been sacked.

    Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

  5. Re:Data redundancy REQUIRED on Building a Massive Single Volume Storage Solution? · · Score: 1

    Wow these are some interesting reads. I learned a lot about hard drives today lol. Who would have thought .... only on slashdot!

  6. Ads .... on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 1

    Makes me wonder if they will be searching the data people put in for friendly text-related ads.

  7. Re:Large 'IF' on Allard 'Gets Real' With IGN · · Score: 3, Interesting
    However IF apple DID partner on this it would be a very devestating blow to the Sony PSP.

    I mean the psp is allready in enough trouble as it is...

    I could see something like this working, only in turn as a marketing ploy so you would buy more 360's then PSP's ....

  8. Re:Top Speed on No One Wins NASA Space Elevator Contest · · Score: 1

    He adds that teams were restricted to using NASA's searchlight as the power source this year, but says they will be able to design their own in 2006.

    "They can use lasers, microwaves, whatever they like," he says.

    It will get better next year.

  9. Re:People use DOS? on DrDOS Inc Breaking GPL · · Score: 1

    You would be surprised how many corporations still use dos based programs out there.

    Trust me its scary.

  10. Re:A question: on 2005 Halo Machinima Award Winners · · Score: 5, Informative

    As per Wikipedia: As a production technique, the term concerns the rendering of computer-generated imagery (CGI) using low-end 3D engines (as opposed to high-end and complex 3D engines used by professionals) in video games (typically, engines in first person shooters games have been used). Consequently, the rendering can be done in real-time using PCs (either using the computer of the creator or the viewer), rather than with complex 3D engines using huge render farms. *More can be found here

  11. Sigh on Generic Passwords Expose Student Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    I missed out on having the ability to hack my middle teachers computer's. All we had were apple IIe's and Oregon Trail (Which still rocks btw) :-(.

  12. Re:2yr experience needed on IGN Talks Games Industry Salaries · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true. I dont have a degree and just got picked up by a fairly major coporation (CSC) who has over 78k employees to be a Systems Engineer. Granted they expect me to complete my degree in a reasonable amount of time (they are paying for it though). I did have some decent experience before ... but not much (maybe 1 year relevant).

  13. Re:Crap! on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 1

    At least its still free ;-)

  14. Re:Its funny. Laugh. on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1
