  1. Digital signatures on Ask Slashdot: Post-Quantum Asymmetric Key Exchange? · · Score: 1

    What happens to the legal system if digital signatures become untrusted? I might not own my house in 20 years because the "papers" where signed with digital signature?
    Note that digital signature is a norm in my country and is used extensively.

  6. Re:less on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but less is a lot slower. E.g try: "gzcat *log.gz | less" and scroll (using /) to right place. Less is a good tool, but often I still have to use more.

  7. Re:Linux on Netbooks on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    The best Linux netbooks available have XP installed on them.

    Not true for Eee 901.

  8. Re:Dev kits should be free on Sony Opens PS2 Platform · · Score: 1

    You got it backwards (or Sony did). Sony loses money for each PS3 sold. Idea is to make PS3 cheap enough that people would buy it. When console is popular then game makers must consider releasing versions for that platform. Licensing dev kits makes Sony the profit. Logic is - it's always easier to collect money from corporations rather than individuals.

    It's the same with my work PC. That's the reason I restart it once a month (when it's starting to grind to halt)

  12. Re:Use the Front Door! on "Back Door" Cheating Scandal Rocks Online Poker · · Score: 0

    All pokerrooms (online and landbased) have methods to fight collusion. One might be able to collude in smaller stakes game for some time, but: as longer they collude & higher (as opponents are more observant) they move the probability they'll be caught increases significantly.

  14. Re:Hype on HP Introduces First-Ever 30-bit, 1 Billion Color Display · · Score: 0

    In addition to my nephew who runs his 22'' LCD with 1024x768 I recently saw my colleague (software developer) run his 22'' with 1024x768. As the guy is from India I can't help to think of the old India developers joke where they only had 15'' displays and moved unneeded object to far right. Unfortunately their contractors had 17'' displays.

  15. Re:Speculative article on China's Cyberwar Against India · · Score: 0

    but fails to mention that a 20 year old student was fined for the whole affair: Not for the whole affair. That was a guy they could catch. It was only one small subset of attacks. Probably the attacks weren't ordered by Russian government but they were result of propaganda war that has roots in Russian government.
  16. Re:AFAIR Estonia ... on China's Cyberwar Against India · · Score: 0

    No they were not performed by one guy. One guy was fined because he was the only one they could prove to be guilty. Most of the things done during that period of time in Estonia was done by residents of Estonia but groups from Russia influenced everything (and kind of orchestrated the whole thing)

    Link me one comment with Score 5 which makes the joke: "In Soviet US ..." and I'll admit my ignorance.

  18. Re:Not Acting Alone on DoS Attacks on Estonia Were Launched by Student · · Score: 1

    For the student's part, he was only fined (I couldn't find how much in TFA) He was fined ~1500$ (same as maximum fine for drunken driving). He wasn't event expelled from uni for that.

    Not much deterrent to prevent him from doing it again In one interview he claimed that He felt like the act wasn't really a crime (he didn't kill anybody, did he). He (and many others) did it because many internet sites recommended doing it. Those sites were put up by main organizers of riots. Main organizers themselves are currently prosecuted
