  1. Re:Then download your google mail on Confirmed Gmail / Google App Outage · · Score: 1

    POP access wasn't working for the affected users. I didn't notice any problems, but a lot of people did.

  2. The photo in question of the ATM on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/3513998015/

    I know I'm posting this kind of late, but there it is.

  3. Re:Playing offense on Should the US Go Offensive In Cyberwarfare? · · Score: 1

    Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is the Unix operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution

    DARPA funded some of the development of BSD after 3BSD's success. It was definitely not a DARPA project.

  5. Re:Perfect for the computer lab on USB-Based NIC Torrents While Your PC Sleeps · · Score: 1

    So, what library do you stash your computer at? I, uh, need to check out a book.

  6. Discussed on NANOG on A Cyber-Attack On an American City · · Score: 4, Informative

    This was discussed extensively on the NANOG (North American Network Operators Group) email list.

    It appears that the outage affected multiple carriers including ATT and Alternet.

  7. I'm starting to miss the omgponies on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 2

    Bring back the pink omgponies!

  8. Re:Move along, nothing to see here... on Opera Launches Facial Gesture Capability · · Score: 1

    Same here.

    On a semi-related note, did anyone notice the Google Brainsearch today?

  9. Mod parent up on Strip-Search Case Tests Limits of 4th Amendment · · Score: 1

    This is a great point.

  10. Re:Why all the fuss? on Update — No DRM In New iPod Shuffle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When has itunes or the ipod ever stopped you from listening to a cd that you've ripped?

  11. Re:IRC?? What's that? on Jurassic Web · · Score: 1

    IRC has been around since late 1988 or so, and I've been on it since around 1991... I'm surprised you weren't on it earlier.

    You can get off my lawn, kthnx.

  13. Summary is wrong. on BluWiki Seeks iPodHash Author, Hopes for Help From EFF · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sam Odio runs BluWiki and he is seeking the author of ipodHash.

    Plea to the author of IpodHash:
    Please contact Fred at the EFF. Fred is looking to protect your right to free speech online. But he can't do so if we don't work with him. Because Fred has expressed interest in representing both you and BluWiki, all communication is confidential and protected under the attorney-client privilege. Communication with Fred can not be released in court.

    If you do not contact Fred, and the EFF does not represent us, we will be forced to comply with all of Apple's demands. If Apple chooses to litigate against us, we will probably exhaust all funds in our defense. Out of money, BluWiki could ultimately be forced offline. This would be one more small step backwards in the fight for the right to free speech.

    Fred's phone number is +1 415 436 9333 x123 and his email is fred@eff.org. You can find his PGP key here.

    I sincerely hope that you contact the EFF so that we can restore this project and work with Apple in a way that does not violate BluWiki's founding principle: giving everyone the tools to express themselves online without censorship.

    It wasn't Barr, it was Root.

  15. Re:I can't wait. on Penetration Testing TV Series Coming · · Score: 1

    This reply is a little late, and I'm sure no one will even see it, but:

    Ryan Jones, one of the members of the team, is also known as Lizzie Borden (longtime member of the Ninja Strike Force) which has connections to the Cult of the Dead Cow.

  16. Re:802.11n -- what's the point? on 802.11n Draft 2.0 Approved by Working Group · · Score: 1

    (A quick check revealed that the Airport Extreme base station does both 2.4 and 5 GHz, which is nice, but I can't tell if the Macbooks with draft-n cards do both bands as well.)

    The macbooks and macbooks pros can do 802.11 a/b/g/pre-n (pre-n with the enabler patch)

  17. "Progressive Pricing" on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just called the store nearest me, which is closing. The associate explained to me that starting tomorrow, they will implement "progressive pricing" and their prices will get lower and lower until they close. The closing date of that store is in the next 60-90 days.

  18. Re:T-Mobile TOGO on Consumer Reports: Cingular, Sprint Bad Performers · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that in California and New York city, T-Mobile and Cingular do share towers.

  19. Maxtor 8gb drive on Are Hard Disk Warranties Worthless? · · Score: 1

    I had a Maxtor 8gb drive, back in 1998, when it was pretty much the largest drive you could get retail. It failed within a year, and I RMA'd it for a replacement. The replacement died within a year as well. I've stuck with purchasing WD and Seagate drives since then, and I've had no further issues.

    Click on preferences, click on homepage, scroll down and select that you don't want to see Backslash on the front page.

  21. Yes. on Do You Still Find Amateur Radio Interesting? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm studying for my amateur licence. It still has its uses in this day and age of the internet.

  22. More exploits are being kept secret now on Reporting Vulnerabilities Is For The Brave · · Score: 1

    I've worked and done research in the security field for a while now, and I've definetly noticed a trend in the underground when it comes to exploits. More and more, exploits are being kept private, with exploits and vulnerability information not being publicised for a variety of reasons, some of which this article touches on.
     
    I've had almost no issues reporting vulnerabilities. It's considered good practice to follow a guideline for reporting, such as: http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/policy.html
