  1. Re:Because... on Free Lightsaber Event Now Battling Lucasfilm's Lawyers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Hah! They did (well, except the name was Dismaland not Fuck Disney). The death of the princess was my favourite part.

  2. Re:Encryption on MPAA Developing Digital Fingerprinting Technology · · Score: 1

    Tarring contains the original files verbatim, appended together so would be as easy to scan (processingwise) as the original.

    Everyone has the zip alogirithm - it would be trivial to decompress the stream and check for the watermark (although processing power would be required).

    Encryption would be neccesary, but it wouldn't have to be too clever.

  3. Re:islam is the death of civilization on Amateur Radio Satellite Echo In Orbit · · Score: 1

    I wondered where all the weirdos hang out on Slashdot - seems it must be the Amateur Radio section - I guess it's true that low frequency radiation fries the brain

  4. IT Directors on When Spammers Try To Sue You · · Score: 1

  5. Insufficient Information on Revolution in Graphics? · · Score: 1

    It is clear that the really clever bit about this engine is the way it works : i.e. not how it looks. As far as I can tell, there is no information available about this on any of the related sites (I've poked around in the Windows .exe as well). If the data for generating the island landscape consisted of, say, 256 bytes of polynomial orders & coefficients it would be remarkable. But we don't know (yet) . . .
