This guy wants to mutilate my penis! What a sick, demented bastard.

Are you related to Amanda Monti (picture) by any chance?

In the meantime, you have the option of ridiculing him when he posts a comment on Slashdot that reads like a mini RoughlyDrafted article, like this one from two days ago: Oh Gizmodo

I'm assuming Daniel Eran only uses one Slashdot user account to pimp his site. In case you missed it, he tried to game Digg with multiple accounts and got caught/banned from Digg:

• PROOF that Roughly Drafted is SPAMMING/Gaming Digg with multiple accounts
  • "Photographic evidence of AlexaW and RoughlyDrafted gaming Digg just to get moron Daniel Eran's articles to the front page. (Where they promptly get buried for being inaccurate.) Several users who ONLY digg AlexaW's submissions, all of whom signed up in the last 3 weeks. Coincidence? Not a chance. This needs to be stopped immediately."

Obviously they won't reach 70+% market share. That was also not the comparison I was making. I was merely pointing out that calling the iPhone "just a phone" because it doesn't do more than other cell phones was similar to calling the iPod "just an iPod" because when it came out, it didn't do more than other MP3 players.

And yes, the iPhone is already a game changer. No high-end phone manufacturer can afford to ignore the iPhone or "keep going as it always has." If they do, the iPhone may very well soon break the 1% market share Apple is aiming for. And, in fact, the other manufacturers aren't ignoring the iPhone: LG, Palm; and Palm again.

So far, cell phones were about hardware design and lifestyle ads. Apple is changing the game, and we'll all benefit.

Actually I found that someone has actually done a Windows only trusted client for banking

http://digg.com/linux_unix/SEED_How_South_Korea_s_ Encryption_Standard_is_Holding_the_Nation_Back
In Korea, you have certificate issued by your bank. When you shop online, instead of typing in your credit card number and billing address/CCV as you do in the US, you give you credit card number, certificate (protected by passphrase) and usually some kind of challence/response system like a printed security card with numbers on it.. When you pay your taxes or go online to get a government form, you use the same certificate to verify your identity. The US government have no way to verify your identity to provide government services such as to check your property taxes or social security, get the USPS to setup mail forwarding etc.

So they're using an ActiveX control to verify the identity of the client.

It occured to me that if you could get the clients to sign all HTTP requests with a hardware dongle, you'd have solved the problem, since the MIM attacker can't do this. For the attack to work, he needs to modify your requests before he passes them on to the bank. If the request was protected by a signature and the signature was generated by hardware, the bank would be able to tell.

I wonder if there's an OS independent way of doing this?

"Failure of imagination" is just dumb. There's always another threat.

The way to improve security is to have well-trained guards in vulnerable places, looking for anything out of the ordinary, combined with investing far more heavily in recovery and response. As Schneier notes, this is generally beneficial as it helps with natural disasters and other unforeseen events as well as terrorist attacks.

Of course, the real way to stop terrorism is to get everyone to watch videos like this one.

he problem for people who don't accept the 100+yr old repeatable observation that C02 acts as a GHG is to point to an alternative explaination for the observed warming. In other words natural "forcings" have been accunted for, so where is the extra warming coming from if not from GHG emmissions?

As much as Comcast has both a terrible service department and a terrible PR department, how they do it is correct.

You pay a "high" price for service ($45-60) per month, depending on the plan, and you can have as much bandwidth as you want, as long as you aren't adversely affecting the node that you are on.

This means be reasonable. Right now, their "flexible" bandwidth cap is 200 GB. Even better, it's not like that boot you after one month of 200 GB usage; and they don't charge you again, either. They monitor your usage over a couple months, and if you're over 200 GB on average, they send you a warning, and then boot you.

It's also notable that this number has gone up significantly as they've upgraded their network, and I suspect it will continue to go up.

At my office we pay approximately $275 for a dual T1. This gets us, at most, 900 GB per month (that's maxing out the connection 24/7/365). I'm happy to pay 18% of that for 22% of the bandwidth, with burst speeds vastly in excess of that (my cable modem bursts at 24 Mbps for up to 10 minutes).

As I said; their PR doesn't explain this well, and their service people (both on the ground and at their call centers) tend to be not up to part with their competitors. However, the companies polices are more than reasonable, and they do an excellent job upgrading their network. I would have never thought that the cable cos would be competitive with FTTN or FTTP, but Comcast is beating the crap out of AT&T's U-verse, and is approaching the speeds of Verizon's FTTP network.

You guys really should stop whinning. 200 GB a month is plenty in this day and age, and I pity the people who pay $15,$30, or more for 1-70 GB a month.

All I did was post this link. Now I lost everything, including all the money I pre-paid for my account, which I had paid up 3 months in advance. This is really unfair. I was only asking what the hell is going on and I got banned. I wasn't even involved in any of that fight. I just wanted to know what the fuss was.

"Let us not become so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance". That really is a great quote. Plus its versatile. For example, you could easily invoke it to challenge Creationists and disingenuous thinkers such as those who performed this science fair: http://digg.com/general_sciences/Horra_Another_Chr istian_Science_Fair_embarrasses_itself

Oops, here's that broken link (Shuttleworth talking about how he found Ubuntu had some 8 million users by collating repository logs).

The problem is that for some reason you can't always play your games offline. Remember the incident when the Valve's servers went down all weekend? See this story. I had a LAN party planned that weekend and we were unable to play our legally purchased games on a LAN, even when we disconnected from the Internet. The game didn't allow the offline mode for some reason during that time. It's crap like this that Valve does that makes us complain.

I just found this on digg. they have the original press release too.

With headlines like "Microsoft inadvertently grants patent immunity to *all Linux users*", Microsoft's reasons for disliking GPL3 must surely remain a mystery... ;)

The Atheism entry in Wikipedia has this assertion:

Strong atheism is the explicit affirmation that gods do not exist. Weak atheism includes all other forms of non-theism. According to this categorization, anyone who is not a theist is either a weak or a strong atheist.
Found here

By that criterion, my assertion is absolutely correct. However, that is not the source of my original comment. I based my opinion on some of the ideas presented by Richard Dawkins in his book "The God Delusion" which crystallized my understanding of atheism. There's an interesting Q and A session linked to this Digg page.

There could be many explanations, but holistically, the standard theories of the "truthers", namely controlled demolitions and directed energy beams, to say nothing of the wackier theories such as the holographic plane theory, or "It was magick!" simply are not based in fact, and have numerous holes. The fact is that the "official explanation" as it's called and the NIST report is the best explanation given all the known facts.

Disingenuous FUD aside, I can't for the life of me imagine how IE could be "bloated". It never had much functionality to begin with.

Kudos to Bashdot. Even the current Digg submission doesn't mention IE at all.

Have they turned it into a blog where any moron can write a story and get it on the front page?

The only way this improbable event will ever happen is if there was a nice cup of really hot tea powering those boosters.

Could someone post a story about what's going on with ABC?

Deleting posts from their message boards and then deleting posts asking ABC to explain why they're deleting perfectly legitimate posts...

By the way, thanks for the links. I went to the Ardor page, and I love this comment regarding Ardor running on a Beryl desktop (under the post "3D desktop and Ardour"): "Honest, OS X, we still have feelings for you, but your pretty cousin is in town ..."

Look for stuff dated 5 days ago. For the most part, the code is in the comments or the story rather than the summary.

You can find a few of them here.

On that note, this has certainly provided publicity for Digg - I hadn't spent more than about 5 minutes at the site before the fiasco, but spent some time watching the chaos on the day. Admittedly, I've no plans to go back there, but it certainly kept my interest for a little while.

I just looked back over the past few days on digg.com, and could find no evidence of this HD-DVD keyposting.

The most important thing to have for any project is a CHAMPION. So if you aren't ready to champion your own idea then you are wasting everybody's time

Oh sorry, I was just wondering if you had the BALLS to STAND UP for your IDEAS. If you don't like it, why don't you take the walk down WASHOUT LANE, CRYING like a little girl.

The companies want to choose the "acceptable" candidates for you rather the populace choosing themselves. The primaries are very important in party politics and when people complain that they only have a choice between a douche and turd on election day must be informed that they get whittled down to that choice because they consider eleection day all important and not the primaries and that "vote". May not be fair but it is true.

The mainstream media is silent on these candidates, but Digg is abuzz with Ron Paul and Mike Gravel. Please looking up these two and consider actively spreading the word about who you like (either of these two or other candidates you find). Or do you guys want to be stuck with a Bush vs. Kerry like candidates in 2008 with both sides sucking?
