  1. Crowdsourcing on TrueCrypt Cryptanalysis To Include Crowdsourcing Aspect · · Score: 1

    While we're on the topic of crowdsourcing and truecrypt, how about we get someone to rebuild it open sourced?

  2. NSA on Almost 100 Arrested In Worldwide Swoop On Blackshades Malware · · Score: 3, Funny

    "For internal use only"

  3. Re:Please support the FCC to do the right thing on Major ISPs Threaten To Throttle Innovation and Slow Network Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Wish I had mod points today. you sir, hit the bullseye.

  4. Re:My router on Routers Pose Biggest Security Threat To Home Networks · · Score: 1

    I use Sophos' UTM product. http://www.sophos.com/en-us/pr.... It is not open source and grandma is not going to use this, but it is rock solid. Honestly the primary reason is country blocking and the daily email reports on the previous day/week/month's activities. You have to get a PC for it, but a small form factor ATOM processor box with works well and has a low power consumption.

  5. Re:IPv6 has this tiny problem on Whatever Happened To the IPv4 Address Crisis? · · Score: 1

    I doubt anyone cares, but this is the RFC for IP6's architecture. https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc35...

  6. Security Patch on Microsoft Remotely Deleted Tor From Windows Machines To Stop Botnet · · Score: 2

    There is always the possibility it could have been executed through the security patch subsystem. It has the capacity to execute scripts/executables.

  7. Re:What are the current options? on VirtualBox 4.3 Comes With New Multi-Touch Support, Virtual Cam and More · · Score: 2

    ESXi is free. It replaced vmware server. You still need equipment on the hardware compatibility list to run it but it makes for a nice virtual server. Google 'ESXi free' and you should see one of the hits as a feature matrix.

  8. Topology on Obama Asks FCC To Make Carriers Unlock All Mobile Devices · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is still the whole GSM vs CDMA issue.

  9. Powershell on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 1

    If you want to make yourself valuable with Exchange, start learning PowerShell. A huge bulk of the administration is command line through PowerShell scripts now. For SQL, start working towards a MCDBA. Check and see if there is a MSSQL user group near your area. They usually have training sessions during meeting and it would prove to be very valuable for networking with people in the industry when you start looking for a position. One of the best suggestions (as mentioned before) is pound the virtual labs.

  10. Re:Fantastic first impressions on Microsoft Unveils Outlook.com, Hotmail's Successor · · Score: 1

    Dude most of that is configuration. Mailbox sizes are dictated by your Exchange administrators. Syncing your mainframe password with your Active Directory account has nothing to do with Exchange/Outlook. While you can use it to change your password, you should be doing it through the OS through either Ctrl-Alt-Delete or old school (like me) through the command line.

  11. Re:Fantastic first impressions on Microsoft Unveils Outlook.com, Hotmail's Successor · · Score: 1

    Not sure how much you get, but they have all my spam filtered out a heck'va lot better than hotmail. I swapped in 2005 and was getting pounded with spam. So I wonder how good their spam filters will be in the re-write.

  12. Re:Fantastic first impressions on Microsoft Unveils Outlook.com, Hotmail's Successor · · Score: 0

    No proof, but pretty sure they do. Newer Accounts and no/low post counts. They are rather easy to spot.

  13. Re:Fantastic first impressions on Microsoft Unveils Outlook.com, Hotmail's Successor · · Score: 1

    You can still use the Labels as folders. With Labs you can set them to have a parent/child relationship to look like traditional folders. The Outlook.com looks slick and they are including intergration to several sources. It should be really nice and I'm sure people will love it. It might be a good Grandma/non-techie solution. I am not giving up my gmail though.

  14. Not a planet on Hubble Discovers 5th Moon of Pluto · · Score: 2

    So it has five moons, but they still do not classify it as a planet?

  15. Misread on Global Broadband Speeds Dropped At the End of 2011 · · Score: 0

    "New Jersey now also dominates the top 5 list of fastest broadband cities" could easily be viewed as "The state New Jersey now also dominates the top 5 list of fastest broadband cities". This does not imply New Jersey's clasification as a city, but moreso that the list is is a classification of cities. The state dominates the list as containing more cities with broadband than other states. Key words: "New Jersey now...dominates...the...list" and "list of...fastest...cities"

  19. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 1

    People react different. I used to drink 8-10 cokes a day. I quit cold turkey twice. Once was back in the late 90s and once again last year; however I did not experiance any headaches. I read you could expect massive heads but never encountered the symptoms.

  20. Hope it works on Biological 'Logic Circuit' Destroys Cancer Cells · · Score: 1

    I think we have all lost either a family member/friend/coworker to cancer. It seems they are making a lot of progress. Not long ago was the method to use reprogrammed safe HIV. I really hope cancer can take the polio route soon.

    Using the two portals to scratch her back was a hoot.

  24. Re:App idea on 1 in 8 Take Fake Phone Calls to Avoid Talking to Others · · Score: 1

    Or like mentioned above. Snag the Bluetooth ID for the person you do not like and have the phone ring (play an file) when they are around. Make sure you have states for not being on the phone or the phone is already ringing. Hmmm. I may need to go visit my boss and get his ID. Then have it vibrate/flash the LED. Nice warning system.
