Not really... if that's what you're looking for, I think you want Pushing Tin. I haven't seen Taking Lives, so I'll take SphericalCrusher's word on that. I also think it's unfair to slam Hackers because it's portrayal of hackers is ludicrous. Of course it's ludicrous. Movies never get our subculture -- or any subculture, for that matter -- right. It's still a fun movie if you're willing to turn your brain off and not get pissed shouting about how much they got wrong.

Journal Journal: Troll Slaying Roundup 3

I apologize for the time between entries, but as many of you know, CmdrTaco has now all but eliminated trolling on Slashdot - and deserves our thanks for all his hard work! However a recent upsurge in trolling over the last four months has created some changes in the Master Troll Blacklist, and I'll document some of these changes for you now.

Journal Journal: Jabberwocky Progress Report

I've made significant headway in the past few days. The code to write posts, save them as either drafts or published posts, and then edit their entries as either drafts or posts and save those is complete. Some of it needs a bit more testing, namely the code concerning the editing and saving of existing entries, but it's pretty stable at this point. All of that is the bulk of JAM (Jabber Administrative Machine), so within a week or two JAM should be complete, and I should be working on

Journal Journal: Jabberwocky Development Has Commenced

I've gotten some work done coding the brand-spanking new template system (which will make design changes far easier) and JAM (Jabber Admininstrative Machine). Haven't done much on the design yet. It will be sleek, and pretty monochrome unless I change my general idea again before I start designing in earnest.

Oh, and there will be one rather major change in 1.0. No more commenting. Sorry. It annoys me, and I'm tired of it.

Journal Journal: Jabberwocky Development

I really must start developing Jabberwocky again. I have so many good ideas. I just need to find some time to develop and code. And a work ethic. I need to find one of those somewhere. Of course, I should probably get around to doing Fusion Muse for Mrs. Castellano also. Maybe she'll still pay me. I need money.

Hi,

I was looking at your list and am about to sign up. But, I saw a friend-of-a-friend

Journal Journal: Visit to IBM Wagner Research Center

Today was the nifty little trip to ibm with miller, rizzo, and chris, and that trip was incredible. After being a bit delayed by going to the wrong watson research center, in the wrong town, we got to the thing. One James Wynne ran the event, which is interesting since my family kind of knows him. He's an ibm fellow, one of the guys who discovered - nay, invented - laser eye surgery, so i'm a bit impressed by him to say the least. He told us about some very cool things, including a

Journal Journal: Curbing Slashdot Abuse 1

Like many web based discussion boards, Slashdot has a small vocal minority of abusive and disruptive users. Many of these users spend hours online attempting to harass and provoke normal Slashdot users. CmdrTaco et al have devised a trust referral system which allows users to mark bad accounts and assign them a penalty. This account in particular has a running list of ALL of Slashdot's worst abusive users. You can leverage this account to 'block out' this i
