Wow, that is really impressive! Unfortunately, this means lots of work for the C preprocessor (and the C compiler, then) at compile time. But it's cool that it works this way at all.

From the article: "IT security admins must understand that a computer can be compromised by almost any hardware device plugged into it. Hardware is hardware -- the instructions coded into it and its firmware takes precedence over software.

I wonder why everyone seems to get what this does from reading the description. When I read "eat and shit", I assume that the "food" is "transformed" into ... youtube videos. So I thought this would generate new videos and upload them to yo

Sorry, but I didn't create any web interface for that back in 1997. :-) Instead, I wrote a C program to generate those HTML files. More information on that is here: http://home.wtal.de/ss/html/pnmtohtml/pnmtohtml.html - Sorry, in German.

There are several projects tried to emulate a Commodore 64 as close to the original as possible. This includes emulating all undocumented features and quirks of the VIC-II chip that creates the video output. This is important since many gre

This is just an improvement by obscurity, not a real improvement. A dedicated CAPTCHA hacker just has to create a mapping table once, and use it in all hacking attempts. The mapping table would map all unicode "A"-lookalikes to "A", and so

I don't really understand why they compare the Robots.txt file to a suicide note. Could anyone explain this?

Maybe you could try to recognize different kinds of food, but I doubt that you could measure the volume of food by just one picture. Even humans would not be able to correctly guess the calories because there is not visual difference betwee

Why don't you go retro, and start playing games on a Commodore 64 again? No online registration, no downloads, no patches. Simply good gameplay. No need to always have the latest hardware or software updates. Honestly, those were the days!

It's annoying when the laptop keyboard lacks some keys you are used to, e.g. the Windows key or the Windows popup-menu key. You can bring up the Windows popup-menu by pressing Shift-F10, though. Mouse vs. trackpad is an important point. In

As long as there are enough C64 enthusiasts, there will always be someone who is going to port VICE (or some other C64 emulator) to a new platform, no matter what "Windowing System" that platform has got.
