  1. Only on slashdot... on Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    You get modded a troll when you correct your own post.

  2. Re:spam on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: 1
    So what do you do when your network gets "cracked"?
    That's right, you beg for more money to support your incompetent ass!
    -lilo(i=levin@freenode/staff/pdpc.levin)- [Global Notice] Hi all. As you may be aware, freenode has experienced a crack attack
    and we're working on tracking down the details. At this point, we cannot guarantee that more problems will not
    occur.
    -lilo(i=levin@freenode/staff/pdpc.levin)- [Global Notice] Once again I want to take the opportunity to mention that freenode
    could use more of its own hardware resources and more server hosting resources. If you'd like to help, please email
    staff@pdpc.us .... Thanks.
  3. Barbie Girl on How Google Ranks Videos · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think the algorithm is quite ready for prime time yet,
    seeing that currently the most popular video on Google is of a chubby nerdy tranvestite playbacking a song of Aqua

  4. Re:Google seem to go out of their way to freak us on Google Researchers Create TV Audio Analysis System · · Score: 0

    I agree, sounds like google is creating there own "echelon" system, but with a different purpose.

  5. Re:A little bird told me... on Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year? · · Score: 0

    I somewhat agree, they say that they don't want to rush the game because they want to ensure that it's going to be the best first person shooter ever made.
    Sounds a bit too perfectionistic to me.

  6. Re:Basically on Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year? · · Score: 0

    I would definitely love to read a book about the development process of DnF, if it's ever going to be made (the book that is).

    The statement from 3DRealms that they want to make sure that DnF is going to be the best first person shooter ever made, just doesn't seem very likely to be the only reason that it takes them forever to put out a release.

  7. Re:HA! on France Moving Forward on Legalized P2P · · Score: 1

    Not only that, with this law put in place there will likely be much more backup copies of their work available.
    Thus saving the poor artist's work from demising.
    It's a win-win situation!

  8. I just can hear them now ... on France Moving Forward on Legalized P2P · · Score: 2, Funny

    We are French. Fuck you, Americans, I don't care!

  9. Re:Nothing to see here....SERIOUSLY on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 1

    Just imagine, working at google and being one of the "best and brightest" software engineers in the world.
    Trying to find the best way to aid the Chinese government in suppressing their people.

    Oh well, I guess it's just a "if I don't do it somebody else will"-case.

  10. Re:root access needed? on Rootkits Head for Your BIOS · · Score: 1

    Writing to your BIOS means modifying the memory of the flash chip on your motherboard.
    The flash chip is mapped into your memory space at certain regions.
    In order to access these regions you'll have to be root (under normal circumstances).

    Once you have access to these regions it's fairly easy to overwrite your BIOS.
    You only have to send a couple of commands to the flash chip to disable write protection and
    erase the sectors (or the whole chip) you want to (re)-program.
    After erasing you can start uploading your malicious code into the BIOS.

  11. Re:Meanwhile, in the UK.... on Canadian Record Label Fights RIAA Lawsuits · · Score: 4, Funny

    I read that as "The British Pornographic Industry".

  12. Re:Consequences... on 2005 Was the Hottest Year on Record · · Score: 1
