  1. Re:Rules for some, or everyone? on White House Proposal Urges All Federal Websites To Adopt HTTPS · · Score: 1

    I guess every time one party does something, we need to point out examples of the other party doing the same thing.

    Yes, so we remember that both sides are corrupt.

    Additionally, the people complaining about the private servers are not Jeb Bush or Rick Perry (or at least, they are not leading the attack).

    Actually both of those people did come out to attack Hillary and then afterwards had their own private email servers made public. So I see no problem with the fact that people are bringing to light their hypocrisy.

    Thanks for sharing that.

    Wow. Troll? So pointing out hypocrisy is trolling? LOL Slashdot.

    Far from easy? I think Lenovo customers would like to have a word with you.

    So that must be why we never heard of man in the middle attacks ever happening in the wild right? It's not like people of been able to forge certificates, install proxy certificates to man in the middle of the traffic, etc. Yeah, that's just all science fiction.

    Yeah, and I hear that that OpenSSL library is super secure.

    I don't know. She should probably check the configurations of Jeb Bush's and Rick Perry's private email servers before making a decision.

    Why try to break the encryption, when you can simply man in the middle the connection?

    Requiring steam is requiring a separate application that must be let online,

    Only once when purchasing.

    that tracks your usage and purchases,

    And that's different to any other place you'd buy from, how?

    and that is everything evil about "always online" except the relatively minor inconvenience of actually being required to connect.

    Yes, only required to connect once. Then you can play offline to your hearts content.

    It's single player and can be played offline There is no "forced to play online" part of the equation.

    If it can be done on $500 consumer hardware it's not computationally intensive.

  13. What? on Rendering a Frame of Deus Ex: Human Revolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Video games are among the most computationally intensive applications

    This is a joke right? Simulating fluid dynamics, simulating weather patterns, finding large primes, factoring primes, etc. are all far more computationally intensive. And that isn't even close to an exhaustive list. Rendering a video game is kiddy stuff in comparison.

    Sorry that should have been connector/wiring type. But, yes, with the proper dongle it's backwards compatible with all other USB types.

  15. Re:USB-C on Google's Pricey Pixel Gets USB-C and a Lower Price · · Score: 1

    I don't know if USB-C is backward compatible, but I presume it is.

    USB-C is just the connector type. The ChromeBook Pixel is using USB 3.x which is backwards compatible just like all other USB revisions.

    In this case, yes. These fakes don't have the same components or run the same software as the real ones. They merely aped the design of the enclosure.

    Their post was clearly this new thing called "sarcasm". Now, "sarcasm" was just invented last week so that's why you've probably not heard of it before.

    I think penetration testing requires pretty good programming skills, particularly low level type stuff.

    Not really. Running Metasploit doesn't require any programming skills. Writing your own tools, on the other hand, would.
