  1. Re:It's an interesting case, really on Dateline NBC Mole Outed At DefCon · · Score: 1

    Seems to me the problem is less the undercover reporter and more the show for which she worked.

  2. Re:Um... on Activating Vista Enterprise Using a Spoofed Server · · Score: 1

    There was an example where some guy was doing something similar for a long time (bashing the same creature over and over to increase his stave skills or something) and apparently he was then banned due to bot-like activity + a suspicious process list (i.e. an empty one, as wine does not list other processes when requested). Thats the story I remember, dunno if there were others.

  3. Re:Lords of the Ring? on Short Film About CERN's Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 1

    Might have been better with "and in the 4 tesla bind them", since, IIRC from the vid, the magnets have a field density of 4T...

  4. Re:yes, they do! on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1
    They need a teacher to encourage them, and that is what's missing.

    Well, neither my teachers nor my family have in any way encouraged my programming. The only programming I've done in connection with school is a bit of TI-Basic and Z80-ASM on my TI-83+ (which was never for teachers since they're fairly illiterate as to how much the calculator can do), and in the final school project where the subject could be chosen freely, where I programmed my own Neural Network. All my parents do is complain about how much time I spend with my computer... and still, i continue to program. And design and script web pages. And make some abstract CG art.

    Not everyone needs teachers to encourage their interests. For me, teachers are for telling me the stuff I'm not interested in, to make sure i maintain a level of general knowledge.

  5. Re:Yet another thing XML complicates... on Ajax and the Ken Burns Effect · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ah but you see, if HTML were used it would be called AJAH, and that doesn't sound anywhere near as buzzy as AJAX. the X(ML) makes the difference!
