  1. smart? on "DVD Jon" Reverse Engineers FairPlay · · Score: 1

    I am sure he has looked at the legal ramifications of a news release like this.. or has had somebody else look the situation over.
    The dude is obviously rather smart no?

    i think "jon" is a great role model for kids.. he should get his own cerial

  2. Re:Here is why they sucked 4 me.. . on Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections · · Score: 1

    they made an attempt to contact me sure.. buTT. paypal has 2 email addys on file, and my cell number + home number. In a chargeback case they should take the time to call the person about to get jacked. -like a normal bank or respectable business.
    I have not had any quams untill now with PP.. but that was before i lost money.

    /shrug...

  3. Here is why they sucked 4 me.. . on Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I sold some information (nothing exotic). It was only $125 and i delivered my end. -a clean deal. A few months go by and i log into my account and see -125 So i say, "WTF why do i have a chargeback & why was i not contacted seeing how you have all my personal info" (acurate info)

    They say i did not suppy tracking information when asked. I had 3 days to send this info before my account was jacked by some little twerp. (zabasearch gave me his home address) I did not check this email because it is only used for paypal, & with no business going on.. why check it?

    So not only did i loose the data i sold,.. but i ended up paying somebody to take it for me.
    So if you sell something as a "service" how are you to provide a tracking number? Any graphic or website payment can be charged back
    -another loophole & it seems that paypal does not give a shat about the person who has been using the service from the beginning.

    now i have to deal with the twerp & waste more time.

    /end rant

    whoa now... lets clear some things up here.
    "guy shoves his fist in through his enemy's sternum and rips out his spine"
    The only guy who shoved his hand through your sternum was Kano, ..& he ripped out your heart.. not spine.
    SubZero ripped off your head with the spine attached. -I think this is what you meant.

    I agree SCO wishes it could have a piece of IBM(ridiculous) I hope a public caning is given to the execs of SCO for even stepping up to IBM. how dare they

    I'm so bored with all the excuses to give up our rights. "whoever smelt it, delt it" ya know.. search this guys history & files. He prob. has the child porn,.. and if not somebody drop some into his puters real quick. No better way to make somebody take a fall.

  12. Re:Can we please not even on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    I don't know anymore... as soon as you said "ninja-component" i wanted it.

    The only use i see for this would be like somebody mentioned.. for NPC use server side in online games. Not only MMOs though.. any NPC controlled server side could use it. Playing other humans makes games fun these days, when humans play vs computer mobs.. this is where the improvment is needed.
    like this:
    Raid kills mob. Raid camps mob for next spawn. Mob learned his lesson so he picks up some huge rocks, sneaks up on raid, throws the rocks (Physics engine kix in) and smears half of raid with a rockslide. -that would be funny stuff, and more interactive

  13. Re:useful for game servers? on Chip Promises AI Performance in Games · · Score: 1

    not to mention that is one mob was "smart" ..could hear and see you comming, react to each situation, and was more powerfull of top of all that. Raids would be a whole different story

    or.. why not just put the CPU & RAM onto the GPU and say fcuk it. AI has a long way to go before i want to play bots rather than other humans. Bots do not get pissed and type slurs when your dominating them..

  15. Re:Inflatable != fragile on Space Tourism, Now and to Come · · Score: 1

    fabric architecture is advancing fast. many things that used to be done with solid structure can be done with this type of architecture. It's prob. alot easier to get this stuff into space rather than aluminum like the ISS uses.

    In the end i would rather be in the traditional deathstar rather than a ..deathbubble

    ya thats kinda what i was thinking. That maybe this one works like Tor, or even annonimizer.com w/ some nice encryption.
    but it just cleans "footprints" as it says. Some thing that takes about 33.7 nanoseconds to do in Firefox.
    Perhaps the search tool can at least keep your Furbie records safe? That would be a 1up for this app.

  22. Re:Better than Illustrator and Freehand? on Update on Xara's OS Vector Graphics Project · · Score: 1

    I have never heard of Xara but the screenshots seem to be complex. More so that could be developed with something like Illustrator or Freehand. Illustrator is not a design app for myself,.. more of an export package. Nothing of any real detail can be made with such a program (like that car w/ cutout to show mechanics). Would have to start with CAD, .dxf, then a finishing prog. Can Xara do all this design? If so i'm impressed.
    Also alot of the art is based around similar objects here.. so it looks like they got a really good artist over at Xara. Untill i try this out myself & test the curve i will not really know how the software performs when compared to other vector based packages.

  23. Open WiFi Cafe' - opinion on The Problems of Web Surfing in Public Places · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I recently setup my girlfriend's cafe with a speedy little router. The Cafe's WiFi is open, not WEP enabled (for ease of use)
    The Cafe has one 1 public PC for the use of anybody (also on wireless network)
    What i told her is to never do anything critical on the public PC. Then i showed her from my flash drive how fast i could install Cain+Able (or similar) and extract protected passwords to a .txt, uninstall C&A and nobody would know the difference.
    I would never abuse patron's info, because it is bad for business! But others might not be as honorable. (i would make some edits on a myspace in a instant if left open ;)

    Besides a disclaimer to patrons (watch your shti!) What really can you do to prevent an open WiFI spot from being abused?
