  1. Re:ARP traffic should not count on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 0, Troll

    windows itself might push you over the limit with all the netbios spam!

  2. Re:Boiling a Lobster on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 1

    In 5 years, 250GB will be used up in a week.

    Wrong, in 5 years we will likely be downloading at nearly same speeds. It hasn't changed much since 5 years ago, what makes you think it will 5 years from now? We will still pay them their money and they will give us whatever speeds they want to give us.

  3. Re:Should have gone to A.B.C.D.E.F.G format. on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    IPv4 addresses can be represented in IPv6 as 0::10.10.1.12

    "The "IPv4-Compatible IPv6 address" is now deprecated because the current IPv6 transition mechanisms no longer use these addresses. New or updated implementations are not required to support this address type." ::FFFF:a:b:c:d is the new standard according the to rfc...not sure what the hell the difference is.

  4. Re:So, is it not fair on Laptops With Certain NVidia Chips Failing · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt they base their decision on what Nvidia states in its specs. They very likely were shipped 'engineering samples' to test out in their laptops. I test server hardware and I have found numerous times where a NIC will lock up a 1U machine because of heat issues but it will be totally fine in a bigger machine with better airflow. And because of that, we don't sell the bad configuration! What a concept!

    Exactly. An overclocked PC can run for days on end completely stable in a room temp ~75 degrees. But if you put that desktop in an oven and get the air temp up around 150, something is gonna burn up. It really should be the OEMs responsibility for saying "Hey, your card gives out more heat than our laptop design can dissipate. We can't deploy these."

  6. Why work so hard? on Cold Reboot Attacks on Disk Encryption · · Score: 1

    Sure this is an interesting idea, but lets be honest, it's not plausible. If you have physical access to a sensitive machine, or network for that matter, there are plenty of other avenues to explore that would require 1/100th of the complexity this article speaks of with a greater "success" rate.

  7. weird on MA Proposes Two Year Jail Term for Online Gambling · · Score: 1

    So I could go to jail for two years for online gambling but I could probably steal a playstation or anything else comparable and very likely not go to jail at all. This is backwards how?

    That's a block from where I live ha, I might as well walk over to check it out.

  9. Re:You're missing the point. on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember having this statement beat into my head a few thousand times: security by obscurity doesn't work. Regardless of that, it is completely ridiculous to do something like this because like others have said, it gives other malicious software another avenue to do their dirty work.

  10. Re:Isn't it more susceptible to some cosmic noise? on New Idea Could Lead to Quantum RAM · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it runs at ludacris speed so it's all good.

  11. Re:bogus remarks on A Look at BSD Rootkits · · Score: 1

    To expect everybody to run from a live cd is ridiculous. This is NOT a solution to the problem for any real purposes.
