  1. Re:Password strength is meaningless. on Calculating Password Policy Strength Vs. Cracking · · Score: 1

    I've found that the security questions to reset the password are easier than the password to crack.

    Slashdot Article Reference

    Either that or just wait for some Security Official to slip up and sell a hard drive with passwords and usernames on ebay.

  2. Nanobots on Terminator Salvation Opens Well, Scientists Not Impressed · · Score: 1

    Why humanoid robots? I personally find nanobots much more dangerous and scarier. Think of Prey (Michael Crichton, 2002).

  3. Re:My solutions was to cheat on How To Help a Friend With an MMO Addiction? · · Score: 1

    THIS.

    Disillusion or ban, your friend will give up the game.

  4. Re: random answers on Study Shows "Secret Questions" Are Too Easily Guessed · · Score: 1

    Question: What is your favorite color?
    Answer: Blue. No, 37Uhy-- Auuuuuuuuuuuugh!

  5. Re:Java on Open Source Solution Breaks World Sorting Records · · Score: 1
  6. Microsoft + secure? Does not compute. on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    It's the safest and most secure OS on the planet today.

    I know Vista being more secure than any of the other MS system, but comparing the security with other OS is pointless when you are named Microsoft, which means "I provide OS for the large majority of computers" for hackers over the world. The more hackers an OS interests, the harder it is to keep it safe. Because I don't believe in a perfectly secure OS.

    You want a secure OS? Then don't choose a MS OS. Period.

  7. Re:A fool and his money... on Ponzi Schemes Multiply On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Sure we hate those idiots for believing in such a way to make money, but the worst guys remain the ones at the top of the scheme for earning money by exploiting people's credulity. Those crooks deserve to be jailed.

  8. Re:Yes, you can make the economy plunge ... on South Korean Financial Blogger Faces 18 Months of Prison · · Score: 1

    For reference: Streisand Effect.

    The Streisand effect is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be widely publicized.

  9. Hadopi on French Assembly Rejects Three Strikes Bill · · Score: 1

    Everything you want to know about Hadopi can be found here (Fr).

  10. Re:1 million dollars! on Mozilla Contemplates a Future Without Google · · Score: 1

    You can avoid the problem by asking to be paid in cash. Not recommended, though.

  11. Re:Stop it from spreading? on South Korea Joins the "Three Strikes" Ranks · · Score: 1

    Except for the french president, he only needs two more.

    Well, not directly him.

  12. Troll on Why Japan Hates the iPhone · · Score: 1
  13. The title is inappropriate on French President Busted For Copyright Violation · · Score: 5, Informative

    I know Nicolas Sarkozy being an omnipresent president and all, but it's not like he personally chose the song, right? It's actually some people among his political party (the UMP) that decided to play the song in two meetings.

    Otherwise, the result is the same: the political party from which Nicolas Sarkozy is has been busted for copyright infringement. It's a further proof that copyright laws are being way too tentacular. Can't they just see it?

  14. Getting new info with old data on Exoplanet Found In Old Hubble Image · · Score: 1

    1- Gather data
    2- Analyse data

    5- New processing methods are found
    6- Go to 2

  15. Report, p35 on ICANN Responds To gTLD Plan Comments · · Score: 1

    A number of commenters urged ICANN not to move forward with the new gTLD program because of threats to DNS stability and security, and warned that the new program will create a new wave of malicious activity, including spam and phishing.

    Phishing Hell if they don't do things right, for sure.

    What's the point of this program anyway? Being able to register fancy urls? By paying $185,000 + yearly fees?

  16. Re:Disappointing on Restauranteurs Say Yelp Uses Extortion To Ply Ad Sales · · Score: 2, Funny

    "And for another one, we'll hide the bad reviews dropped by angry /.ers."

    "We'll pass, it would be suspicious if those articles end up with no comments at all."

  17. Energy generating roads on MIT Team Creates Shock That Recharges Your Car · · Score: 1

    On the other end, we have energy generating roads.

  18. Re:And glasses... on UK Cinemas Get 3D Projection Rollout · · Score: 2, Informative

    Soon, you won't have to wear glasses for 3D films. Check this out.

  19. Re:95% on Report Claims 95% of Music Downloads Are Illegal · · Score: 1

    It's not possible to prove that they will earn 95% more if there was no "downloads".

    You mean 1900% more, right? 5 + 5x19 = 100.
