Strange... No "conspiracy haters" idiots writting on this topic yet?
Ok, the blacklist is to disable use of GPS and related API... But I do not like too much, because if Apple can do this, who will stop then for blacklisting other software like "jailbreak" and any non-apple (but desired by user) software?
And this price is on your contry. On Brazil, I will get a blu-ray player only paying ~$1760 (I are not kidding)! In reais (currency from Brazil) is ~R$3000.
(price on EUA + insane import tax + "premium price" because is a "premium device" here)
The very basic problem is: If you need a "option X" on OSS program, but you don't know how to make yourself this option?
80% of OSS users doesn't know how to write code, they just needs to use the software.
Another important detail: This method is usable only for protect medium to large files. The idea is use a really big "key", but if the protected file is too small will be easy to break the coding.
Uhh... I forgot to say. The "key file" is anything, not just binaries. In my case, is a 1MB text file with random generated characters (not a real readable text, but is possible to use one for masking), but is possible to use a large bitmap, MP3 music, etc. Is a simple XOR between the file you want to protect and the "key", but you need the correct key (and all of her) to recover a readable protected file.
And the most important detail, you don't store the protected file and the key file on the same pc:)
I will not say anything about possibilities here without my anti-conspiracy-haters-shield online (needs a lot of power), but is really strange for a benchmark (supposed to be neutral)
Well, I do not really expect neutrality for a benchmark with sponsorship (or partnership?) from hardware makers like nVidia.
On Brazil we haved a simmilar case. One notebook stolen from Petrobras (brazilian petroleum company) with data from new oil discoverys, recovered after some days.
Sometime later, the 4Â fleet on yor back? I guess is not a coincidence:)
I agree. Charlie maybe blames too much nVidia, but because this he needs to be wrong about this case? I guess not. you, me, anyone maybe don't like the messenger, but this don't make your message automatically a lie
I not a american... Is difficult to translate my own language (Brazilian portuguese, a complex language) to english, and google translator is horrible to this job.
Maybe is a good idea to Slashdot put the country of user on comments, not only nickname.
Someone knows where have packages for Slackware? I tryed compile the source, but do not work (too many strange dependences from thirdy party librarys, test on Slackware 12)
"Cites are not required for - independently verifiable - claims."
you do not understood? You really not a scientist
Is too easy to create many "citations" and put then on article to say "Hey, this is true because have citations!", I can say "my citation is from is the holy bible!":)
But, a thing you can explain to others "how to test yourselves and conclude this is true" is a different matter and do not need a [insert your favorite VIP here] to say "is true", you only need to test yourself
I agree. Is very nocive thinking "the sky is red because [insert VIP person here] says"... And "i only believe if you have citations" KILLS possibly new scientific discoverys.
... is very simple: I do not go on cinema to see one film on - at most - VCD quality (cinema quality on my city is a big issue), and I don't like to use a full-bloatware winDVD or Cyberlink to view a "original" DVD (use only Media Player Classic, but he can't open original CSS-protected DVDs)
obs: sorry the bad english, is difficult to translate brazilian to english into a way you can understood my idea

Mission-critical software on licence-driven systems? Houston, whe have a problem! whe ha... *radio noise*
I posted this a few days ago, but my "password" is not a music, is any file.

+5 for the comment above is not enought.

The DCMA lawers do not have balls to sue the USAF? :)
LOL!
"-are all options of the application available in the GUI" almost all OSS software I know fails in this check.

I'm brazilian :) (portuguese is spoken here too)
Damn, wrong again :( (and slashdot dont let you correct or delete wrong post)
I try to say "do not note my bad english", or "don't fry me for the bad english", something like this.
ops... Is "do NOTE the bad english"
Is not easy to me write on another language
For example, my post on my native language:
Eu concordo... à bastante nocivo pensar "o céu é vermelho porquà [insira pessoa importante (VIP) aqui] diz"... E "eu apenas acredito se vocà tiver citaÃÃes" MATA a possibilidade de novas descobertas cientÃficas.
Obs: oh oh, slashdot do not understood non-ASCII characters (note the strange letters above)
