  1. Re:Hmmm... on Google Buzz — First Reactions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ah yes, that bit of text right at the top of the page.......no one told me it was there.

  2. Hmmm... on Google Buzz — First Reactions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I went to buzz.google.com and signed up, but my Gmail account didn't change at all.

    I'm willing to give GBuzz a go, but I don't think I'll ever see myself getting caught up in social media networks - especially with Google's recent views on privacy.

    True, its hard to be sure when you can't see the source.

    On that note, Brian, send me a copy of Win7's source code and I'll take a look at it for you - if you want. ;)

  4. Re:Surprise on Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think Brian is trying to say that he designed the system and is a bit upset that we're bagging it out without asking him for an explanation first.

    If you RTFA, or even the small part I quoted, the US based contacts are described as co-conspirators. If accurate, there is nothing legitimate about them.

    His alleged co-conspirators have not been charged.

    And why not? These guys should be getting just as much time as the other dude.

    Who cares about media, these little beauties are one of the best and most convenient tools for the active hacker. I love em. All my brothers and Dad have one too - very handy.

    No embedded system realistically needs more than 640K internal memory

    There, fixed that for ya.

  12. Re:I Don't Trust Wireless In General on 80% of Cell Phone Encryption Solutions Insecure · · Score: 1

    WPA2 makes it difficult to crack wireless encryption. But thats not where the weak link is.

    The fact is, built in hardware backdoors and software backdoors allow those in the know to completely walk around the encryption being used. This is where the real issue is.

    Terrible idea. My mind is out to kill me. Just for fun it would use these sequences at the most inappropriate of times. I'm sure of it.

    Yeah, but there is a glaring hole in your logic: it makes sense.

  17. Re:The bible doesn't say... on Mediterranean Might Have Filled In Months · · Score: 1

    nice try dylan, but you're talking about something else. If you've read the bible, you'll note that it specifically states that each word in it is infallible, inspired directly by god and it even goes on to describe it as a more sure 'prophecy' than Christ himself. Last I checked, no one stated that History books were infallible.

  18. Re:The Real Question on Israeli ISPs Caught Interfering With P2P Traffic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It could very well be the Israeli government with their finger in this pie. Most likely is. Undoubtedly, it is because of pressure from the US.

  19. Re:The bible doesn't say... on Mediterranean Might Have Filled In Months · · Score: 1

    You sir, are completely correct. 'Christians' who don't think the bible is infallible are plain stupid. How could you honestly tell which parts are true and which aren't if you don't believe the whole thing to be correct? Basically, these 'Christians' pick and choose which parts they like and then reject the rest because its too weird and doesn't make sense.

    These kind of people annoy the life out of me.
