  1. Re:Keep multiple profiles on Old Facebook Apps Still Plunder Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that even if what the OP suggests was allowed, I would consider it as a workaround only, as it is not really authentic.

  2. Re:Keep multiple profiles on Old Facebook Apps Still Plunder Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    I think using real information is pretty reasonable. I don't put much on Facebook (I don't even visit it often), but I do follow these terms for what I do put.

  3. Re:One or the other on Old Facebook Apps Still Plunder Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    Unless you're actually stupid enough to put all sorts of personal info on Facebook, like your real name, address, etc.

    Wouldn't use these as examples.

    Especially when it is hard to tell whether the opt-out really is an opt-out.

    Yes, but what runs on top of the kernel can be made GPLv3.

    GPLv3 require manufacturers to provide modification instructions for their devices.

    there arent. there are a few influential shareholders among the 10-20 biggest shareholders of these companies. and they think that it should be that way. and, they put people who will do their bidding at the helm of the corporations.

    What are the names of them?

    Yep, IMO it is a better solution than pirating.

    To be more precise, some of them relates not to x86 themselves, but how the IBM PC series implemented it.

  11. Re:Okay, here's a question ... on New IE Zero Day · · Score: 1

    You fail to mention that Netscape (4.x) was in no way or shape capable of beating IE. It was a pile of crap. IE went into dominant position because it was a so much better browser starting at IE4.

    Yep, I know (for example, the CSS/JSSS fiasco). But I think the argument here is that even if the rewrite was necessary, Netscape could have released a 5.0 version based on the old codebase in the meantime to compete against IE5.

    Yea, Google is building it's own fiber network, for example.

  13. Re:DD-WRT? on Database of Private SSL Keys Published · · Score: 1

    (Yes, if they or the browser store the original cert and compare it to the new one, then this is no longer an issue.)

    And Firefox does exactly this when you add an exception.

    Agreed, every memory-clearing reboot would be more sensible.

  15. Re:Old problem on Database of Private SSL Keys Published · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of how the Classic Mac OS's use of Pascal strings made it resistant to many buffer overflow attacks caused by the use of C strings.

  16. Re:Misleading^2 on Database of Private SSL Keys Published · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Hole196, and the classic attacks from the wired network world too like ARP spoofing. Of course if you have remote administration disabled and only trusted people are on your WPA-protected network it should not be a problem.

    Yea, a lot of it comes from the confusion between AnonOps and Anonymous.

  20. Re:Reminds me of the LM hash on Gawker Source Code and Databases Compromised · · Score: 1

    I did more research and found out they were using UNIX crypt, which is barely better. Similar to the LM hash, except it squeeze in another char by reducing each char to seven bits, and it also runs the DES 25 times, which is low.

  21. Re:the true gem here: ID'ing astroturfers on Gawker Source Code and Databases Compromised · · Score: 1

    Not sure how you're going to tell people who are astroturfing from people who are genuinely commenting (maybe even avoiding stories which are a conflict of interest)

    By finding the username and look at the comments they posted.

  22. Reminds me of the LM hash on Gawker Source Code and Databases Compromised · · Score: 4, Informative

    From http://pastebin.com/9rRmf6W5:
    "Gawker uses a really outdated hashing algorithm known as DES (Data Encryption Standard).
    Because DES has a maximum of 8chars using a password like "abcdefgh1234" only the
    first 8 characters "abcdefgh" are encrypted and stored in the database. If your
    password is longer than 8 characters you only need to enter the first 8 characters
    to log in! "
    The LM hash generated two hashes using DES from two 7 byte parts of a 14 byte password.
    Basically they use each individual 7 byte part as a DES key to encrypt a fixed string.
    Repeat this twice for each 7 byte part, and concatenate the results, and you get the LM hash.

    I know I can't satisfy anon without complete exposure, but I just can't do that for obvious reasons.

    Yea, I know. Best things IMO to fix the problem if you can. What is the problem BTW?
    Anyway, I agree that calling you a troll based on that is extremely silly.
