  6. Re:But it's not Windows! on The Story of a Simple and Dangerous OS X Kernel Bug · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    With windows having most the market flaw's get found quick, with mac not having no where near as much and fact most people will go after the OS they have most chance to infect as many as possible, this is what will happen. There is probably a lot more nasty flaw's like this hidden in the Mac OS that are still not known. Kinda nice to knock these mac nut's down a peg.

  10. Re:Self-incrimination becoming mandatory on In UK, Two Convicted of Refusing To Decrypt Data · · Score: 1

    The problem is they are making you provide evidence to convict yourself and send yourself to prison. its everything the 5th amendment is made to protect you from, at least in the US. They have the Data but you gotta provide the info to access it, this has president to remove all 5th amendment rights at some point, They get you to give up that key then next they will be asking you for more since you gave up that why not more

  11. Re:How about if a Policeman... on In UK, Two Convicted of Refusing To Decrypt Data · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Opening a trunk and encrypted data are 2 different things, as for US's 5th amendment. If said data is stored in like safes or such with a physical key you have to give it up (they could get in to the truck easy anyway), if the information is stored in your head its protected via the 5th, but with that being said its been debated lately if say data encrypted with military encryption and the only key is stored in your head is protected by the 5th. since giving the key will consistute giving up 5th. When data is encrypted with say 256bit SSL, it would take a super computer many years to break the decyption key and by then you could ask for speedy trial and they couldn't have their key evidence.
    As for laws in UK i am not sure, but for US its been in debate cause a guy that crossed in the US from canada had encrypted data and they tried to make him give the key up.

    Most states have same law, that you need a state license to have evidence in a be admissible in court.
