  1. Re:Okay, Go! on OpenBSD Team Cleaning Up OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    Correction of myself: That should be 5.3 and 5.4 which both had 1.0.1c.

  2. Re:Okay, Go! on OpenBSD Team Cleaning Up OpenSSL · · Score: 2

    OpenBSD 5.3 was running 1.0.1c which was affected by the bug. This is not PR. It is fixing bugs in a critical component of their OS.

    It's just complete nonsense, anyone working with smartphones at the time was completely unfazed by the iPhone

    Oh really?

    Chris DeSalvo right after the iPhone unveiling:

    As a consumer I was blown away. I wanted one immediately. But as a Google engineer, I thought ‘We’re going to have to start over.’

    What we had suddenly looked just so . . . nineties,” DeSalvo said. “It’s just one of those things that are obvious when you see it.

    Andy Rubin after the iPhone unveiling:

    "Holy crap," he said to one of his colleagues in the car. “I guess we’re not going to ship that phone."

    Yeah, they were totally unfazed. Oh wait...

    How exactly would you expect them to build a wireless network without encroaching on everyone else's spectrum? Did you even think that through?

    I can only hope this is a clever attempt at whooshing people. Otherwise...

  6. Re: genre shows that nerds like us love on Wil Wheaton Announces New TV Show · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, he's saying his show will mock them. Hence why they were referred to as "hilariously bad".

  7. Re:Proverb on Toward Better Programming · · Score: 1

    And yet there are times when the tool itself really is shitty. That statement is not meant to be infallible, unquestionable gospel. Some tools are simply poorly made and a bad fit for the job they're supposed to be used for.

  8. Re:More lies from the Republicans on TSA Missed Boston Bomber Because His Name Was Misspelled In a Database · · Score: 1

    While most of your post is spot on there is no way for the TSA to have stopped the 911 attacks since it was formed 2 months after that happened.

  9. This is a good thing, as it will help prove the downfall of the current patent system. When you can get the big patent holders scared of other patent holders, we can get some progress in trimming the power of the vague and obvious patent.

    Who says Cisco is scared? Also this same line has been trotted out for going on a decade every time a big company is sued over patents and yet it has lead to jack and shit.

    Why would you be surprised about John Carmack? He sold out his company to Zenimax long ago.

    A shitty console that will join the heap pile of failure along with things like the Atari Jaguar, the Philips CD-i or the Virtual Boy.

    Because people want an Xbox or Playstation not some crummy Ouya.

  13. Re:Pay for their own show on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which is like saying you can only add 1s together to get small numbers (aka "microevolution) but not big numbers (aka "macroevolution"). It's an absurd position. New species arise through the accumulation of lots of small changes not the silly "chimp giving birth to a human" fallacious argument that creationists spew.

  14. Re:Pay for their own show on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 1

    Ahh but they accept those things because that is "microevolution" as opposed to what they call "macroevolution" which they claim would have to be something like a dog giving birth to a pig.

    How is it wrong? The article is about a 2008 document. It was merely reporting what was in it.

    Sure you can. This guy is a fucking twit same with the submitter.

  17. Re:The bigotry of the political correctness crowd. on Inside the Massive 2014 Winter Olympics WiFi Network · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Collectively, we can't move forward if we grant a monopoly on "legitimate" discrimination to one particular group of people (the political correctness crowed, for example).

    You gave yourself away too easily. This just some rambling bigotry from some right-wing nutter. Being against institutionalized bigotry has nothing to do with this nonsense. No one believes this outside possibly a few fringe nutters and caricatures created by the very bigots themselves. Nothing is more funny than listening to them trying to paint themselves as the victims of "PC".

    The people like cold fjord who would continually piss themselves over "Mooslem" boogeymen without Big Brother tucking them in at night. 9/10 chance that this "anonymous" person is cold fjord.

    They're trying to increase page hits and ad impressions on the BI sites that next to no one cares about. It's one of those Dice.com side effects.

  20. Ditch Windows? LOL!!! on Torvalds: SteamOS Will 'Really Help' Linux On the Desktop · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hahahahahaha! Good joke! Ditch 99% of their customers in PC game market? Yeah, right. Even Valve doesn't even believe this nonsense otherwise it would have already gone Linux-only. Gabe is saber rattling because knows freetards can't sustain his business.

  21. Re:Different Source Code for Different Versions? on Security Researchers Want To Fully Audit Truecrypt · · Score: 1

    Yes, hence why it was stupid that the "editor" did not pick up on it and fix it. As you said, it's glaringly obvious.

    That was meant to be "second to last full paragraph".

  23. Re:Typo? on Security Researchers Want To Fully Audit Truecrypt · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yeah, it's a typo. The privacy report says in the last full paragraph on page 13:

    As it can't be ruled out that the published Windows executable of TrueCrypt 7.0a is compiled from a different source code than the code published in “TrueCrypt 7.0a Source.zip” we however can't preclude that the binary Windows package uses the header bytes after the key for a back door.

    Seems the author retyped the statement themselves rather than just copying and pasting then the summary carried it over.

    Yeah was just about to make the same post. That sentence sounds pretty stupid.

    To further explain, your statement is akin to calling MP3 a DRM scheme. AAC is simply an audio codec standard.
