  1. Re:Whatever you may think ... on Heartbleed Coder: Bug In OpenSSL Was an Honest Mistake · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Boy, if there's one thing that could ever kill Open Source it would be being held legally liable for a commit with a bug in it.

    It burns me that RSA is not held liable for their $10M NSA backdoor in Dual_EC_DRBG PRNG. Customers should be flocking in droves but RSA gives enough swag at conferences that the suits don't care.

    Your privacy sold off for $10M and some mouse pads.

    and all running on top of TCP

    Not necessarily. OpenVPN is an SSL VPN which defaults to UDP/1194.

  4. Good today, crap tomorrow. on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1


    I don't buy the "good today, crap tomorrow" mentality. XP still has a massive installed base. This will open the door for entrepreneurial geeks to create their own security and stability patches.

    Diid Symantec or Macafee say they were dropping XP support? Nope, it's a huge cash cow for them.

    If you can afford it, your computer's RAM should be maxed out to 640KB.

  10. Re:Don't they already? on Department of Transportation Makes Rear View Cameras Mandatory · · Score: 1

    We picked up a new car in September. Everything we looked at had cameras and they weren't super-expensive like a Ferrari. Granted we didn't look at Kia or the like. You can't see cameras when in traffic.

  11. Don't they already? on Department of Transportation Makes Rear View Cameras Mandatory · · Score: 1

    What cars don't have rear view cameras these days?

  12. Here it comes... on Security Evaluation of the Tesla Model S · · Score: 0


    Big car makers and the oil industry will hammer on these weaknesses to show people how untrustworthy the Tesla is. Hell, they'll probably try to make one rear end an old Corvair just for the lulz.

  13. Ob. on Hacking Charisma · · Score: 3, Funny


    Hitler had charisma in spades. He loved dogs and even had a girlfriend.
    People always forget about the good things he did.

    I have location services turned off for most things.
    You can also turn off background updates for any apps, including Google's: Settings -> General - Background App Refresh
    Prevents the app pinging away and having them geolocate you through your IP as you travel around.

  16. Re:But it's still inflation? on Last Week's Announcement About Gravitational Waves and Inflation May Be Wrong · · Score: 1

    I think the skeptics are saying that the gravity waves have been confirmed, the question is were they created by the Big Bang or sometime later as things cooled down.

    Apple are 100% gay - in every sense of the word

    They do indeed seem happy when lounging on their bean bag chairs stuffed with cash.

    Yeah encfs is great for live filesystems, no argument there. I meant for archiving and backups of things offsite, should have clarified.
