  1. Re:With top secrets spilling left and right on US Military 'Hacked' by Emails · · Score: 1

    I've got news for you: America does direct foreign policey, but we do it in the open, and noone stateside seems to understand why telling a sovereign nation what to do is wrong. We are imperialists.

    Since virtually everybody who uses Windows XP runs as admin, there would be no reason to use this exploit, since if you get code to run on the target machine, it's already running as admin. Which is different than running as SYSTEM.

    No. Giving them 20 years would give them 20 years, and I doubt this will change anyone's behavior, save the convicted, because they will never hear about it. And if they do, they'll forget about it in a few weeks.
  8. Re:Not just the FBI on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 1

    Quite a few of the things in the Anarchist's cookbook are faux. As far as I remember, there is no lab safety covered. Also, quite a few of the things will self-detonate. Some of them are extremely sensitive, and will self-detonate if prepared wrong. Some of the things are trivial to make, but will mame kids rather easily.

    Examples:

    HMTD
    Acetone peroxide
    Picric acid
    Nitroglycerine(It's sensitivity is overstated, but, it is still not to be prepared by someone new to chemistry)

    Recommending this book to children is retarded.

  9. Still fun to be had. on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 1

    There's still fun to be had in chemistry. If kids really wanted to learn about chemistry, they certainly can, but it's become something to be afraid of. Even in high school, kids were afraid to light the bunson burner....

    However, when I was 13, I started visiting http://www.roguesci.org/
    I've always gotten my chemicals and various tools over the internet, and I've never really been questioned. It has become slightly more difficult though, as Skylighter changed their requirements.... but there are still chemical suppliers out there that'll sell to anyone with a debit card.

    I'm now 19, and my fourth of July's are pretty damned fun.

    You see that nifty link up in the article, talking about pcap? It's this nifty API for packet capture and creation. One of the nifty things pcap allows for, is packet sniffers, and the saving of data actually going over the network. That's what's been done to determine what's going on here:

  11. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on NY Wrests $1 Million From Verizon Wireless · · Score: 1

    I hook my phone up to my router and use it as a USB modem all the time. If you can do it with a normal WAN link, you can do it with a cellphone. Being unrechable from the WAN thanks to the network design is something that is easily solved w/ GatewayPorts and a dedi (of which I have access to many). There is no reason to mod this person down. People do use phones as WAN links under certain situations.

  12. Re:Letter to Pirate Bay re: new torrent protocol on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Onion routing would slow down the swarm to a crawl, and increase the amount of bandwidth actually used to get files exponentially. What we need to do is get BT off of stateful connections (TCP), and onto UDP. It's sad it's getting to that point. Seems like ISPs will have one hell of a bill coming soon.

  13. Re:Three obvious things on Hitachi Releases World's Most Energy-Efficient HDD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps in prebuilt systems and database servers, but it's more common than you'd think to just slap a bunch of SATA drivevs in raid 10 or raid 5 with a decent 3ware card managing the array. A decent sized(say, 300gb, because that's what's on newegg right now) 15k RPM SCSI drive from seagate will cost you $700. Why spend $1400 on 300gb of storage(you do need rendundancy if you need a 15k RPM drive), when you can spend the same money on a larger, faster array?

    >Another point is that even if the real "need" is somewhere around say, 20-30 Mbps, the extra bit doesn't do any harm. There really is no reason to artificially go down to the "real" need.

    Well, sure there is. If you build your infrastructure so far above capacity, then you can't beg for federal funds in a few years to replace it again. Duh.

    There's economic profit in these monopolies dragging their feet... we won't have real progress in America until the corporations get put in their place, and that's not going to happen until the politicians get put in their place, and that's not going to happen until America stops caring more about who got kicked off survivor last night than the current state of industry/economics/foreign relations.

  16. Heh on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    During the day I work at a small computer shop in Salt Lake City doing electronics and computer repair... mostly computer repair. Since I've come on board we now do network administration services.

    I'm 19, and a male. I'm also autistic. I've been in computer security for 11 years, and have a broad backround ranging from growing up using DOS(I actually took the time to learn it) to doing redundant HPCC with gentoo and IPVS.

    Being young, I'm also broke as fuck. I can't afford college, and starting out life in debt is NOT the answer when you've had shady academic history due to other problems.

    So, I'm stuck working for $10 an hour, fixing spyware and viruses mostly. Because of the time this takes up on our bench in the small shop, we generally charge $120.

    Every once and awhile someone comes in with a hardware problem. We quote them parts from our supplier, plus a $35 bench fee.

    And the customer gos wild. "40 dollars for a harddrive?!" "Mam, the clicking noise it is making is how you can tell it is bad." "BUT IT'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR AWHILE!!!"... you see where this is going. Anyways, even though we don't gouge on parts, people still flip shit, even when we show them the workorders.

    If it wasn't for the fact that I'm generally overwelmed with computers to work on, all expected to be done NOW, I wouldn't mind this. But I'm stuck in a small shop, I'm overworked, underpaid, and I live with chronic migraines, but I've gotta listen to you yell at me for this shit.

    So, I can understand how some people can be assholes to people. Be glad there are those of us that have the character to take it in stride. I have work in 4 hours. Goodnight, slashdot.
