  1. and, again, this is only against their own tests on Web App Scanners Miss Half of Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2

    Don't forget these results supposed to be 100% because their own test application has been scanned. It means an actual results will be much lower against a real application.

  2. That was the top of this year ;-) on Forrester Says Tech Downturn Is "Unofficially Over" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Some people predict a second lag down. I won't be surprised if the article has been published in highest point of this year. Looking at VIX (scare factor) it could be the case.

  3. Re:OpenGL and the rant about marketing on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    I played in lugaru game and it just works on my old Linux thinkpad t42.

  6. who can come up with more buttons?.. on Multi-Button OpenOfficeMouse At OOoCon 2009 · · Score: 1

    18button's mouse 1 .... 18button's mouse 2 .... sold!

  7. Re:What about the banks? on Washington Post Says Use Linux To Avoid Bank Fraud · · Score: 1

    2FA like security tokens with 6 digits does not protect against MITMA, i.e. in case then you PC infected and trojan can change all requests/responds. You might not even know that you are trasfering money to a wrong account, for example. The only solution would be a proper "calculator" type tokens with MAC signature but that is really not user friendly.

  8. It's impossible to make it even less secure. on Microsoft Says Google Chrome Frame Makes IE Less Secure · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about?..

  9. Re:Why just p2p? on Brazilian Court Bans P2P Software · · Score: 1

    Opera has p2p feature build-in. Why not ban it as well. It's getting into gray aria more and more.

  10. it's GPL on Skype Trojan Can Log VoIP Conversations · · Score: 0, Redundant

I guess we've got some users from symentec here and they've just reposted it at they "blog". So why you have to post that news here _again_?

  11. how about RTFM? go to wiki! on Why Is Linux Notebook Battery Life Still Poor? · · Score: 1
  12. _you_ can't restore it after simple single zero dd on The Homemade Hard Disk Destroyer · · Score: 1

    have you seen the challenge? http://16systems.com/zero.php
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutmann_method However, once the space is overwritten with other data, there is no known way to recover it. It cannot be done with software alone since the storage device only returns its current contents via its normal interface. Gutmann claims that intelligence agencies have sophisticated tools, among these magnetic force microscopes, that, together with image analysis, can detect the previous values of bits on the affected area of the media (for example hard disk). This has not been proven one way or the other, and there is no published evidence as to intelligence agencies' current ability to recover files whose sectors have been overwritten, although published Government security procedures clearly consider an overwritten disk to still be sensitive.[3] Companies specializing in recovery from damaged media cannot recover completely overwritten files
    In fact, physical damage got more chances for recovery then simple DD. So why do you still want to use a device for that?

  13. Compare2Crack on New Binary Diffing Algorithm Announced By Google · · Score: 1

    Hey, my favorite Compare2Crack.v.0.10.(S)1995 just got opensourced! I wonder how long will take for crackers to adopt distribution of "bugfixes" for commercial software as well.

  14. Re:New MS browser on Microsoft Research Showcases New Browser Prototype, "Gazelle" · · Score: 1

    I feel safe as long as it stays as "prototype".

  15. Re:LaTeX on HTML Tags For Academic Printing? · · Score: 1

    Not everyone has browser installed by default. If one do have it, then he could always open pdf/odf in google docs.

    FAT32 and bellow is not designed for flash media. I would prefer to see some progress for exFAT or FAT64 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT in Linux instead

    FAT32 and bellow is not designed for flash media. I would prefer to see the same Linux workaround for exFAT or FAT64 instead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

  18. This is how open source can make money, in fact on Sothink Violated the FlashGot GPL and Stole Code · · Score: 1

    we should turn around such violations so developers would become happy if someone try to do it again. Go and complain to http://gpl-violations.org/ or similar. I suspect they know how to deal with it, how to win the case and make some money possible.

    Someone is trying to be very innovative: they hope that all "vista problems" will go away by removing a debugger.

  23. this guy got stuck in time on State of Colorado Calls Firefox Insecure, IE6 Safe · · Score: 1

    If someone would say so 5 years ago some could believe him. It's too late today. Is that guy got stuck in time or just stupid?

  24. not true on Without Jobs, Will Open Source Suffer? · · Score: 1

    That's because Novel got wrong model, trying to make money on open source. They might be going as a company really soon. But it's completely not true for the rest. Opensource started by students, ie then you don't have money and not willing to pay any. Just imagine: you don't have money. You parents don't have money. $10 can help you to live for week. But you like computers a lot. You would still play with it, "share" commercial software with your friends, write your own or modify other opensource projects. Don't forget that most popular kubuntu came from Africa. How many more examples do you need?

  25. gmail "offline" IS your backup on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1

    Basically, Google Gears plugin uses SQLlite database to store your mail and syncs it automatically. So you can safely use your favourite web interface again.
