  1. Re: There is no legitinate antitrust case on Facebook's Plan To Merge WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger Sounds a Privacy Alarm (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    End to End Encryption doesn't even mean that. Just means encryption is used along the path. if they have a key that can read it, all the encryption in the world wont help you

  2. Well it had diminished to 1 small transport, until we needed to defend, then there were trenches full of soldiers. then we needed to escape, so we only have a few people again..

  3. How many to break Bitcoin?

  4. Re:Missing the obvious other solution on More Than 15,000 Scientists From 184 Countries Issue 'Warning To Humanity' (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    By China i think you mean the world We are shipping our emissions overseas by buying things built there instead of locally, We can't hold them responsible if we are the ones causing the emissions by buying overseas.

  5. When the west does it it for the citizens on Moscow Deploys Facial Recognition to Spy on Citizens in Streets (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Gotta love the Bias. When the west does these things it's for the citizens or to stop crime, when russia do it, it's all about the spying.

  9. Cloud Definition on Meet VoCore2 Lite, a $4 Coin-Sized, Open Source Linux Computer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Cloud is a fairly well defined term that doesn't relate to any of the above. NIST Definition is pretty good definition of it. Source: http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpu... Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.

  10. Re:hoo boy this article. on Apple's Fight With US Over Privacy Enters a New Round (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple stopped decrypting phones. They still provide all your data that has synced to the cloud to anyone who asks. It's just a small subset of cases where they need the phone, not just cloud.

  11. Sounds about right on TSA Paid $1.4 Million For Randomizer App That Chooses Left Or Right (geek.com) · · Score: 2

    Honestly having worked with government, it sounds about right probably a 1000 hours of meetings to choose the colours, shape, discuss the randomizing algorithm etc. prob took no time at all to write.

  12. I wonder about this, i think the DMCA is still relevant, since they could pursue the 3rd party company that did the hack, and compel the FBI to reveal who that was?

  13. Sounds like the IBM matches vs Gary Kasparov IBM deep blue watched all of Gary's games but Gary was not given the opportunity to watch any of deep blues. Only 3 games, of which Gary got closer. Watching previous games gives you a massive advantage!

    It's up there with oil or currency fluctuation!

  15. Re:Google forked Linux? on Industry-Based ToDo Alliance Wants To Guide FOSS Development · · Score: 1

    I think the challenge with Google and Android is that they forked it so they could control the changes and then did all their dev work into any extra layer that isn't FOSS compatible. (Google Services i think it's called) So yes, it's bad, all the changes don't go upstream but they get all benefits of the FOSS development and it's hard for anyone else to complete since android is very base and the google layer (not open source) is required for things to work properly

  16. Re:How'd it taste? on Clam That Was Killed Determining Its Age Was Over 100 Years Older Than Estimated · · Score: 1

    Could be expensive to find a 501 year old wine to match

  17. Re: 350ppm on "Dramatic Decline" Warning For Plants and Animals · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, you can just burn their white house to the ground like you did last time they invaded.

  18. Re:good luck with that on Dell Gives Android the Boot, Boots Up More Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Informative

    FYI: linux has zfs.

    ZFS is the only FS to checksum data, ReFS checksums the metadata.

    along that line, ZFS has dedupe and realtime snapshotting (something that windows doesnt have) HyperV snapshotting doesnt count.

    But windows server 2012 is pretty sweet none the less.

  19. Re:Just give them something? on British Teen Jailed Over Encryption Password · · Score: 1

    Yes, i use it, that that's exactly how it works but if you play around with files in the outer (Duress) container it overwrites your good container the issue i was highlighting was to do with windows / applications linking to files that dont exist (Recently opened documents) also may raise some flags when all the files in your encrypted outer layer have a timestamp of old instead of a recent document link saying you opened it yesterday, that is where the legal challenge may lie

  20. Re:Just give them something? on British Teen Jailed Over Encryption Password · · Score: 1

    Only problem here is if your time stamps on recently opened documents dont match the items in your duress truecrypt volume. then i think you would be changed with Obstruction of Justice

    MythTV, do all the processing on the backend server and have a lightweight (quiet) frontend it should bolt onto your existing ubuntu server

  22. Re:Web-Based Private Is An Oxymoron on Web-Based Private File Storage? · · Score: 1

    Just remember to change your CMOS battery before it gets old and reverts to 1970, or you may be a sad sad man or have a proper backup solution. The whole point of encrypting your data is you dont care if someone gets hold of the files so there no reason not to have a backup

  23. Re:Playing your alignment? on Believing You Are Very Good Or Evil Boosts Your Physical Capabilities · · Score: 1

    Actually, V for vendetta was not chaotic evil, it was planned mayhem for a greater good it would probably fit under neutral good or eve, he didnt care who he killed to improve the world as he saw it.

  24. Re:DRMlicious on Ubisoft DRM Causing More Problems · · Score: 1

    Stardock used to be anti-DRM, but to get updates you need to connect to impulse which validates your game is legit, also if you wipe your pc, you have to either reinstall the game or redownload it from impulse or it will same invalid game installation. it is just DRM on update rather than DRM on play good times
