  1. Surprised?? on Man-in-the-Middle Attack on MySpace with Cain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Honestly? Social sites and security? Why should they be interested in it??

  2. Slashdoted on Acid3 Test Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Conclusion: ACID3 test didn't pass Slashdot test. Too bad.

  3. The full range of scientific views on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    Inteligent design is definitely not part of science. That is just blunt rubish and so if someone would teach this kind of thing and thinks he is protected under the law this would be a nice case for precidence in case someone would bother.

  4. Darwinnissm at its best! on BitTorrent Devs Introduce Comcast-Proof Encryption · · Score: 1

    You impose a restriction somewhere and this will cause the system to react with a sollution to develope further...

    Or is there some intelligent design behind it? ;-)

  5. No fix from M$? So? on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 0, Troll
    But a lot of other fixes can be found on the web. Here some alternatives to choose from:
    1. Debian
    2. Ubuntu
    3. Red Hat
    4. ...
    Or use it as a sign to get a new stylish computer which actually "just works".
  6. So what do we learn from the article? on Students Downloading Jihadist Material Acquitted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Never leave a note to your parents if you want to go fighting abroad... ...but I have to catch a plane to Afganistan ... see ya later, guys!

  7. Re:Ummmm on UK Government To Terminate File Sharers' Net Access · · Score: 1

    I guess the previous post meant to encrypt the communication channel. This would probably make it much more difficult for the ISP to monitor the communication between two hosts as it needs to analyze the traffic much closer and try to catch/intervene with the key exchange... or things like this...

  8. Action whill cause reactions... on ISPs To Filter Traffic For Copyright Holders? · · Score: 1

    that is what we learned in school. That is what Darwinism is about (whether intelligent design people like it or not). Imagine what will happen when ISPs filter more and more. Then people will make it unfilterable by encrypting it. This way more and more people will be encouraged to encrypt their traffic, more and more programs will support encryption by default. Actually this would be a positive side effect, wouldn't it? :-)

  9. Re:Apple needs a new calendar coder guy on iPhone Wants To Hang On To the Old Year · · Score: 1

    1752 is what you mean. 1752. ;-)

  10. That must mean: on iPhone Wants To Hang On To the Old Year · · Score: 1, Funny

    The iPhone is sooo 2007! Apparently. ;-)

  11. Proposal on RIAA Argues That MP3s From CDs Are Unauthorized · · Score: 1

    I have the following proposal: without warning anybody of the content Mafia and their lawyers should NOW get searched! And for any unauthorisized MP3 song which gets found they should pay high fines. I am sure no one is without "illegal" MP3 (illegal in their definition for sure)...

  12. So what does it help them... on Forensic Computer Targets Digital Crime · · Score: 1

    ...if they copy my hard drive (after they have managed to get pass the hard drive password) if they find most of the partitions encrypted with 256bit AES and the swap partition with 64bit blowfish? Anything usefull there for them?

  13. e-Voting never replaces public auditable elections on John Edwards on Open Source Voting Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is a principle mistake to think that electronic voting can ever replace manual vote counting. Or if it will replace it, then you will always lose the audibility.

    If you want an election to be publicly auditable, then the only (!!) way to do it is to count votes manually by hand in public.

    You can use an electronic voting machine to get a faster preliminary result, but if you give up on manual counting the electronic voting machine will become a black-box. Regardless what kind of software, security etc. you use and implement.

  14. My antivirus software on New Zealand Banks Demand a Peek at User PCs · · Score: 1
    From /usr/locl/bin/virus_scan:

    #!/bin/sh
    echo "Scanning for viruses...
    echo "No viruses found! Congrats, you are save! :-)

    Thus I can prove that I am safe and not liable. :)
  15. Re:Switching to Windows on A School District's Education in Free Software · · Score: 1

    And just a moment I was wondering what was wrong with my browser not showing the GIF image when I was following the link. Hahaha! :-)

  16. Sony, psts! on Microsoft, Sony Clash Over Vista Turbo Memory · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sony, look, if Vista is not using the turbo memory technology you could use the free space there to load your root kits even faster....

  17. Surprised? on Inkjet Photo Print Longevity Lacking · · Score: 1

    Is anybody really surprised?! Honestly? It was never intended for making long lasting stuff but just a cheap way to avoid making real photo prints from digital photos.

  18. Re:Nerds with something to hide on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 1

    Actually in Germany we have very, very strict rules under which circumstances a letter may be opened and read. Recently we had a scandal cause the sanctity of mail was badly broken.

    I for myself close the envelop -- beside the obvious reason to prevent things to fall out -- because it is a private message from me to the recipient. It is just plain as simple as this: the content of the letter is of no concern to the state and any authority. That is why I close the envelope and that is why the law (at least here in Germany) has very, very strict rules about breaking the sanctity of mail.

    When I send a e-mail it is in principle also covered by the same law, but in practice it is much easier to get to it. If I encrypt my data it because I want it to be private. And that is a right I have.

  19. Re:Nerds with something to hide on Encrypt and Sign Gmail messages with FireGPG · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is just that I don't want anybody to intrude my privacy. Do you close the envelope of a regular snail-mail letter? If so, do YOU have something to hide??

  20. Simple: If I record it... on MLB Says Slingbox Illegal, CEA Thinks Otherwise · · Score: 1

    ...then it is my recorded data which I may access from anywhere. There is no law which prohibits me to access my data from elsewhere. Companies, please get used to it and stop whining!

  21. Re:And then the people in the USA... on US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals · · Score: 1

    I did not say that there was no sympathy at all. But at least I have gotten the impression that this mood existed...

    After all, if nothing is done against the climate change then .. it will change. And this will affect all of us (including USA, China and India).

  22. And then the people in the USA... on US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...are surprised that sympathy towards USA is keeping within limits for the destruction caused by the horrible hurricanes. (Of course the people who suffer from it are not the ones who made the decisions and such disasters are horrible.)

  23. It will punish legitimate bussines on Google Bans Ads For Essay-Writing Services · · Score: 1

    So? I couldn't care less. I guess it is up to Google to choose which kind of advertisement it wants to serve. Also Google gets less money cause of the outage of those advertisements.
