You can NOT tell me that... frat boy heads Microsoft. He's not competent to operate a car, much less the evillest little software business on Earth.

well all i can say is this:


AMD OWNZ J00!

I think that lasted for all of 5 hours after it was out or something.

And if thats saying that no exe will run unless if certified is total maddness, developers would all just switch to linux I imagine.

you mean like 5 hours after it was out as warez?

[Stealth]

how can they ban free software for Linux or Unix when most if not all of it is free anyway

[Galemp]

They're not banning it, they're making it impossible to run.

[Fineus]

Surely there's some kind of signiture in the software that tells the chip it's MS certified then? And therefore it must be a case of simply ripping that code from the certified software - pasting it onto any other non-certified program and going ahead as normal?

[wEvil]

probably - or failing that some kind of streaming stuff in the assembled code (not impossible)

either way, i'll take great pride in refusing to service, purchase or work on any palladium-enabled hardware.

I still can't stop laughing over that 60 year old baldheaded lardass running around that stage like a drunken idiot.  He makes Ken Lay look pretty good.

Of course, I bet that if this thing actually does come to pass, the hackers will have figured it all out well before the first products are even released.

oh, and whoever closed that girls thread, you are without a doubt the greatest forum admin ever.

What the bloddy hell!?!?!



well, i just want to congradulate whoever... you just made the bad mistake of pissing off over ahundred horny nerds world wide..

[CP5670]

and making one nerd really happy...

[Knight Templar]

well you can't have friggin' math without 69..  :wink:


on a similar note... 402 or 412 or something; Pot Smokers number?

[CP5670]

nah, all the important numbers are pretty much the ones listed here:

Very cool stuff. The main ones I frequently encounter and use out of that list are probably 0, 1, i, p, e, euler's constant (g), khinchin's constant (K), gamma-related constants (m₀, G(¼), etc.), stieltjes constants (g₁, g₂, etc.), EI-related constants (soldner, EI(1), etc.) and zeta-related constants (glaisher, z₀, etc.). I suppose 69, 402 or 412 might occur somewhere in the long trains of numbers there (most are irrational, if not transcendental), but then again, do they have some special significance or something?

You'd think i'd know better by now..

That thread was just getting way too big considering how mind-numbingly retarded it was; even TAS and TWNBAFS3 from the VBB had more of a reason for existence...

You'd think i'd know better by now..

come on, let's talk about math!

[Knight Templar]

Are you by chance catholic? Perhaps maybe after Father Dick's position?

[CP5670]

Something between an agnostic and an atheist actually, but I still don't get why everyone likes those numbers so much... (glaisher's constant is way cooler than 69! )
