  1. Re:Clear the DRAM? on Cold Reboot Attacks on Disk Encryption · · Score: 0, Troll

    For this to work, somebody has to be able to steal my laptop, hack the double-password system, and get Windows up-and-running. Only then can they apply this "power off/power up" method of copying my RAM.

    I am not concerned; they'd have a difficult time guessing both passwords. And with the program I use (or rather the government uses), the hard drive is hard formatted after 10 incorrect guesses, leaving behind no information.

    I feel secure.

    However, I can see this as an effective method to steal other keys... like the Blu-ray key out of PowerDVD.

    And thus you demonstrate how some people are addicted to passing new laws (aka politicians).

    Me:

    I am addicted to internet forums.
    Like this one here.

    It interferes with my job, because talking online is ALWAYS more fun than doing actual work. And of course, I'm always constantly checking, "Did anyone reply to me? No? How about now? Maybe now? Oh! There's a reply!" Type, type, type.

    It's quite sad actually.
    I should go to a psychiatrist.

    But first I need to go visit rec.arts.tv, to see if anybody posted any new messages. Bye.

  3. Re:Just one more reason to be careful on Scientists Find Believing Can Be Seeing · · Score: 1

    I don't understand people who "see things" where nothing exists. Like the Face on Mars. Okay yes it kinda, sorta looks like a face. HOWEVER it also looks like a bunch of rocks, which is what it is (later images confirm this). People need to learn to Question what they see, rather than just blindly believe.

  4. Re:Identical twins are like Slashdot dupes on Identical Twins Not Identical After All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well then.

    That explains why Playboy's "Dalmer Triplets" have differing breast sizes. I thought I was just seeing things, but apparently there really IS a difference.
