  1. Re:Wowzers... on DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers · · Score: 1

    If the portable drives were intentionally infected by a custom virus designed by, oh say, a super power, would the sec networks have a chance to detect it? Yes, if they are designed and tested by true security professionals, with good penetration skills...
  2. Re:I have always said Gov Open Source makes sense on KDE Desktops For 52 Million Students In Brazil · · Score: 1

    It seems that the countries that will adopt Open Source as common initiative are the ones where socialism is not seen as such as scary term, akin to communism. And even the word communism does not equate to "Russian soviet slaves". Unlike USA and other countries that are *very* influenced by Capitalism. Well France *is* very influenced by Capitalism, but OSS has been gaining ground over the past two years (most noticeably OpenOffice kicked MSOffice out of most major administrations). Adopting OSS is not about "capitalism vs communism", nor it is about "good vs evil" or "dark side vs light side".
  3. Re:That explains it! on Bill Gates On the GPL — "We Disagree" · · Score: 1

    'Open source, he said, creates a license 'so that nobody can ever improve the software' At the opposite, Microsoft has been releasing ever poorer versions of Windows, Vista being the latest example. Yeah, that explains it.
  4. Re:Obvious answer... on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    http://planetemu.net/ (french) is an excellent place to start with. Tons of roms, all kinds of platforms, from Game Boy to SNES to MAME... you name it, they got it all.

  5. Re:Branching storylines? Can we have some? on US Spies Use Custom Video Games for Training · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of Bioware? Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect...?

  6. Re:How to Think on US Spies Use Custom Video Games for Training · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's even more true for younger generations who grew up interacting with all kinds of pictures, playing video games at an early age. Some specialists argue that future generations may have trouble trying to focus on a particular subject for a long time. However, they may become more capable of addressing several problems at the same time.

  7. Re:Key Storage? on Fujitsu HDD with AES 256-bit Encryption · · Score: 1

    It may be better than fake encryption, but it could be worse than nothing. Indeed, the word "encryption" creates an impression of security... but security against what? With a plaintext key stored on the hard drive, it doesnt really matter if the contents is encrypted or not.

  8. Re:And they know this how? on Cloned Sniffer Dogs Begin Training · · Score: 1

    I think it justs says that training cloned sniffer dogs (that were derived fom a skilled specimen) is easier than training dogs which lack their genes (thus "ordinary").

  9. Just curious... on PayPal Denies It Will Block Safari · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm wondering... how those Paypal folks could "block" your browser? Do they rely on your UserAgent? There must be some UASwitcher plugin for every browser out there, so you can easily bypass their filter... Any idea about how they filter you out?

  10. Re:Stupid. on Free Open Source Software Is Costing Vendors $60 Billion? · · Score: 1

    I'd say "Stupid and Expensive" This awesome report only costs $1000 per copy. (quoted from TFA: http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=844462)

  11. Re:hmm. on NULL Pointer Exploit Excites Researchers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    does it run Linux? Definitely. Just need to massage some asm code to make it fit.

    part of the security of Linux relies on the smaller audience is not so attractive a target Dude, if you feel safe just because you're running Linux, you could be surprised some day. Plus, the "smaller audience" is not so small anymore, thanks to Ubuntu and the like. On the other hand, projects like PaX and grsecurity, constant code reviews and bug monitoring do make Linux a pretty safe place.
  12. Re:Save up to 50% or more! on Levitating Haptics Joystick Gives Good Feedback · · Score: 1

    Fool, it means the video game console that comes with it will cost "much less" than $1M...

    [...]the program has received about 30 per cent female applicants[...] Yeah, I guess Mass-Turbator would do.

    Haiku OS Resurrects BeOS as Open Source Well, the web site looks pretty much dead for now.
  15. "Long" passwords??? on Antivirus Inventor Says Security Pros Are Wasting Time · · Score: 1

    "In that case, the long passwords might mean that he can only crack 2,000 of the passwords instead of 5,000" What does "long" mean for that guy?!
  16. Re:Recreate? on George Lawrence Photography Revisited · · Score: 1

    I think their server is getting one hell of a simulation right now. Or... their server is running an OS dating from 1906.
