  3. source code link on HD DVD's AACS Protection Bypassed · · Score: 1
  4. Will it blend? on Non-Geeky Gifts for Tech Geeks · · Score: 1

    My favorite has to be the Blendtec blender. 2 horsepower motor. Turns hockey pucks into mulch." No kidding! This blender would sure turn any holiday gift (geeky or not) into dust! (then sell the dust on ebay)

  9. not that accurate on Origin of Quake3's Fast InvSqrt() · · Score: 1

    I compiled the function and tested it with few numbers...and compared the output with 1/sqrt(x)

    InvSart(4) = 0.499154
    1/sqrt(4) = 0.5

    InvSart(10) = 0.315686
    1/sqrt(10) = 0.316228

    InvSart(2) = 0.70693
    1/sqrt(2) = 0.707107

    InvSart(100) = 0.0998449
    1/sqrt(100) = 0.1

    so it's pretty accurate to around three figures...

    # Now we inject our shell code by using the public ESSID
    # Those guys better should have read "man bash", you cannot quote
    # single quotes by a backslash :-)
    # We now fill in our manipulated ESSID
    # FON prepends every ' with a backslash, which is useless since
    # this kind of escape sequence does not workin with single quoted
    # strings.
    # By closing the ESSID string with our injected \' and sending a
    # newline we can now simply append aritrary shell commands that
    # will be executed on our box during the next update. The
    # comment mark # simply tells the shell to ignore the now
    # useless final '.

  13. Boot acess is root access! on Securing a High School Windows XP Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    I think all efforts on securing the machines turn useless if someone was able to boot from a removable device such as a CD ROM or a USB drive. A Linux Live CD could be used for booting...

  14. Stallman... on Will Stallman Kill the "Linux Revolution?" · · Score: 1

    is known for being a very unreasonable man in the sense that George Bernard Shaw used the word when he said, "The Reasonable man adapts to nature. The unreasonable man seeks to adapt nature to himself. Therefore it is only through the actions of unreasonable men that civilization advances." -Free For All http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_for_all.peter_wayn er/12.html

  15. The new futures rock! on Facebook Changes Provoke Uproar Among Users · · Score: 1

    hehe...those complaints seem to be a twisted use of language. I think that the new futures (especially the feed) are great! You can delete the feeds that you don't want others to see, so there's no problem with privacy.

  16. script kiddie on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    It's fraud if you sit at the computer and repeatedly click on the ad or -- better yet -- write a computer program that repeatedly clicks on the ad.
