  1. Is this a joke? on Introducing the NSA-Proof Crypto-Font · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I am not sure if the person is an idiot or just trying to get attention from the NSA news.

    The fact that each character has the same obfuscation means that it would be easy to match against, it would be more secure to take a marker pen and scribble random lines through pictures of your rebel message.

    But the "clever cryptographic fontâ"which you can use in email messages to shield them from snoops" is just laughable. Any text scanner would only see the character encoding, not the font, or is opening an e-mail and changing it's font beyond their comprehension.

    This might be handy for any W7 users reading this.

    - To get the current address on the breadcrumbs, you can right click on any crumb and choose copy address.

    - If you click the icon left of the breadcrumbs ( or white space on the right ) it will reveal the folder path and highlight it ready for copying.

    - There is a folder tree view in explorer if you expand the 'Computer' section in the left pane. To have it always expand to the folder being viewed: Tools, Folder Options, General Tab, Tick 'Automatically expand to current folder'.

  4. InSSIDer on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Netstumbler did not support my wifi card but came across InSSIDer which is free, and allowed me to easily see channel usage in the neighbourhood. They also sell USB spectrum analyzers for non wifi interference which is what you may need. http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider

  5. Re:This thread is useless without pics.... on Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives · · Score: 5, Informative

  6. Re:US only on MTV Launches Music Video Site · · Score: 2, Informative

    Urgh, im in the UK, and I tried the top 4 most viewed, and all were not available outside the U.S.

  7. Fixed Positions on A Hardware Mashup Device Running Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Im really puzzled by the design and who they are going to sell this to. The connectors limit the number of modules and forces them into fixed positions. The motion sensor module is going to limited when tied the main unit. Real 'Lego' seems to offer a better system under the name NXT.
