> Umm, let's say Justin Bieber is a huge fan of Ars Technica. The hackers wouldn't need to, Ars would have already doxxed him for their own gains ala Snowden.

Maybe you'll reconsider letting us delete our account and post history now. lol, nevermind, what was I thinking.

I really dislike this and the "OMG hot GF" article from yesterday. I can only hope they were posted as some sort of experiment to show what our digital life can reveal about us. If it's just for the ad bucks...well, that's just sad.

Some day streaming will "just work"...I hope.

All of these passwords *could* be generated by a random password generator. A great password generator would have the logic used in these types of cracking tools built in and exclude high risk passwords.

This is a noob question, but how much of the work in this demo is being done with CPU vs GPU?

I'm in my 30's and now I'm an "older parent". :(

Some day I'll have a humongous 4K display to watch hockey on, and it will be awesome. My big problem is that Comcast compresses the crap out of the cable signal already, so their 1080 already looks like garbage. 4K won't fix that, in fact it would probably make it worse.

10+ years ago I used to. You had to download 30-40 parts of a rar file from multiple IRC bots and FTP servers. There was a great thrill in the hunt for all of the pieces and in possessing something that only a few people in the world had. Since then I've given up my wanton ways.

It would be nice to get discounts on some older DLC.

I'm sorry, but every time I see these deal headlines I think of "The Stifmeister".

Just seeing the name "Kim Dotcom" is starting to get really old.

This gets upvotes on Ars now? Edit: it's borderline trolling and it gets a 100+ upvotes. ಠ_ಠ

What does "Limit: One entry per person and one entry per e-mail address during the Promotion Period." mean? Aren't all entries made by people, rendering the "and one entry per e-mail address" redundant?

I'm a nerd, but I can't fathom a world nerdy enough where there concept of a recursive acronym is actually "cool".

Never again, Nintendo. My Wii is useless - it's not even heavy enough to use a door stop.

"marathon oil spill" is an interesting phrase considering that Marathon Oil is a company that (I believe) also participates in offshore oil drilling.

I loved BG, but I couldn't get in to BGII. I started playing multiple times and I think the advanced level spells were overwhelming to me. I mean, it came with like a 100 page guide on the various skills/spells your characters can use. I liked the simplicity of the lower level game.
