    Go down a typical high street you'll find several shops that will do it for $10 and they'll remove the lock-in to a specific network to boot!

    Absolutely so it's all just smoke & mirrors on Assange's part and absolutly nothing to do with fear of being extradited to the US

  3. FFS on Apple vs. the Right To Repair (bloombergview.com) · · Score: 1

    9 times out of 10 the repair is simply replacing the broken glass/digitizer. So if you don't use Apples exorbitantly over priced certified repairers aka Apple Store they'll brick your phone. If only the build quality was as good as a brick!

    This has been going on for centuries ask the steel workers of Sheffield (What's left of them), the tailors of Savel Row or the Glass workers of Venice. Strangely nowhere is synonymous with the quality of it's Lawyers. Funny that.

  9. Re:This is highly ridiculous. on Australian Foreign Affairs Says UN Assange Ruling Not Binding (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just love the fact that the UN thinks he's being detained. He went into the embassy of his own free will and accord and sought asylum which broke the terms of his bail. He is therefor liable for arrest as soon as he exits the embassy but he's not currently being detained by the UK. As for his assertion about being extradited from Sweden to the US. Sweden doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.

    Scalia died in his sleep after a day of quail hunting.

    It was long in coming, but in the end, I see the quail got their revenge.

    Do they suspect fowl play?

    Ah so basically they are creating a list of public/private key/password combinations. So if you have someones public key you can lookup their private key and password if it's one you've already done. Sounds to me like Bitcoin are using PKI keys that are too short. Not to panic though I know banks that are still using Triple DES :|

    Then surely this is bad news for PKI in general or are we saying Bitcoins implementation of PKI is rubbish?

    One boring day I decided to read the T&C of a computer game I'd just bought. I was a little surprised discover a section describing how the software was not licensed for running nuclear power stations. Given that the game was Zork I think this was probably a very good idea.
