  1. Re:Translation on Microsoft Responds To Linux Concerns Over Windows 8 and UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 0

    they're just going to charge an extra 20 for an "app" to unlock the boot loader..
    honestly.. with the way that most idiots use a computer, I'm glad someone is locking the things down "or at least trying"

    if you want it.. it will be figured out.
    if you don't.. hey, ios doesn't have any viruses/malware unless it's rooted (aka controlled by the user)

  2. Re:But not the end for the CA system? on Certificate Blunders May Mean the End For DigiNotar · · Score: 1

    this is true.. really a faked cert from a CA.. isn't fake.. it's real. it's like getting your "fake" ID from the DMV..

    uhm.. ssl as a wrapper was swiped from the early ipv6 spec to add security to ipv4
    it's just built in

    ipv6 actually has ALOT more security by default, just liein about.

  5. Re:Make it simple on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    couple obsidian knives would be pretty easy, and it'd just be a rock collection.

  6. Re:What doesn't kill you... on How Killing the Internet Helped Revolutionaries · · Score: 1

    and that which doesn't make you stronger...

  7. Re:Something we should add... on DoT Grants $15M To Test Car-To-Car Communication · · Score: 1

    Riding the merge lane to the very end, around everybody else, is just as aggressive.

    actually.. exiting the merge lane early can be just as bad..
    let the lane do it's job and shuffle together like a deck of cards.

    but no, people just won't do that because at that last moment someone on one side or the other will always screw it up and go out of turn.

    or someone will stop traffic so they can merge early...

  8. Re:Giant SUV's on DoT Grants $15M To Test Car-To-Car Communication · · Score: 1

    i've often imagined.. especially while stuck in traffic. a system of railcars that you could just drive onto and get sped to a city.. drive across it, and hop on the next train until you get to your destination, or the city before your destination and drive the last leg.

    seems as easy to lay rail where our highways are now...

    course things like this always SEEM easy.. and really, nothing like destroying the roadside diner again eh? ha ha

  9. Re:who is their market, any more? on Heathkit DIY Kits Are Coming Back · · Score: 1

    i watched that, pretty interesting, minus the cisco product placement.
    their bit on tesla before that was pretty neat too.

  10. Re:Notaries... on Moxie Marlinspike's Solution To the SSL CA Problem · · Score: 1

    but knowing a few notaries ip's just means you have to include DNS in your attack now..
    I mean, I guess it DOES add one more thing to do raising the fruit a bit.. but I can't say it's that much of a step forward.

    come to think of it, I wonder how difficult it would be to create a mask dns server that covered all of the current CA's and always returned that a cert was valid...

  11. Re:... and when there is nothing left to patent? on Why Patent Reform Won't Happen Anytime Soon · · Score: 1

    Drug companies have a real patent problem on their hands: all their old "blockbusters" are losing patent protection

    oh, no, don't worry about them, they can twist a chemical bond and rename it to start their 21 years over again just like tacking mobile onto it for electronics.

    real question is.. what's next?

    "in a 3d space", "with your mind", or in an "augmented reality"?
