  1. For Windows users. on Most In US Have False Sense of Online Security · · Score: 1

    "Ninety-four percent of those surveyed said they would find it helpful to be able to diagnose or check their online security status on a regular basis to make sure their PCs were safe." run windows update and update your anti-malware products. Oh yeah, you also need to build a wall of fire in front of the opening to your tube.

  2. I am not surprised... on Chimps Outscore College Students on Memory Test · · Score: 1

    I work at a college help desk and the chimps never call.

  3. re on Google Wants You to Report Malware · · Score: 1

    "Obviously hackers don't look for their tools on Google."

    actually I believe that many hackers do find tools through Google...

    Tools, active exploits, 0days, and much more can all be found just by searching for them. Try a search for "0day exploit". The second and third results (milw0rm and FrSIRT) are chock full of goodies.

    If you have some time on your hands and run the right queries you can find forums that link to certain opensource bots. Mostly you can find SpyBot and RBot variants but there are some others out there.

    As well, let me just mention that it is not hard to compile these and then make them undetectable to signature based AV's.

    But the skilled hackers do know other avenues to get there malware. Many of them just develop there own from creating frankenstiens of legitimate applications.

  4. So if I have a server in the UK... on Flawed Online Dating Bill Being Pushed in New Jersey · · Score: 1

    and it provides dating services, and someone from New Jersey gets a date from there, I have to provide a background check? Yeah sure ok. Try to enforce that. Damn, I forgot you can't. thanks Spamhaus

  5. Craigslist on What's the Best Way to Recycle Old Tech in the US? · · Score: 1

    Check out craigslist.org and see if there is a craigslist in your area. If so put it up for free. Some people will take completely broken equipment to scrap for the gold and other valuable recyclables.
    While I am not trying to say this is the only or best means to recycle your goods, it is definitely a viable option.

  6. Anything is possible but... on Evidence of Historical Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis · · Score: 1

    "Just because I think everyone is trying to kill me, doesn't me they aren't." I am, in fact, an asshole. Just the same, I know "the first step in comprehension is interaction".

    The first quote is from someone.
    The second is from me. I said it out loud and then I typed it. So I can put that in quotes right?

  7. To answer your questions... on Evidence of Historical Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis · · Score: 1

    Yes. Is the Colbert Report a joke? Because it is popular. Yes. Yes. And I am aware that only assholes answer questions with questions.

  8. Re:oh yeah, so scared on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yeah and when the Storm Worm drops the whole network segment you are f'ed. Your ISP will drop you if you keep dropping their router's. Because, well, not everything is about you. This botnet has much more power than you think it does.

  9. But I use Lynx... on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 0

    Do they consider it copyright infringement if my browser never even renders the page? ID 10 T

  10. Maybe... on Phone Companies Refuse to Give Congress Data on Spy Program · · Score: 0

    We should just tap their phones. That will let us know whether or not to trust them.

  11. Just an idea... on Red Hat Vows To Stand Up To Patent Intimidation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But maybe we should set the RIAA and Microsoft up on a blind date. It could start by convincing a mass of people to form an addiction to a product that they never can actually own... And end with suing the poorest of that mass out of enough money to buy a small island with. After all, infringing on patents that haven't been specified and copyrights for 99 cent songs should entitle the IP owners to at least 2 million dollars each infringement.
