  1. Re:Please say yes on Do Twitter Phishing Scams Herald the End of Microblogs? · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you don't want to hear about how I went to the store to buy a card for my grandmother?

  2. I agree. Bring on the Pain on NVIDIA GTX 295 Brings the Pain and Performance · · Score: 1

    A helathy does of competition in this market is going to drive the efficiency and performance up and at the same time keep the prices down to a reasonable degree. Now if only AMD would man up and make a core i7 killer then the pain will have been brought.

  3. Proven by the RIAA on Australian Court Lets Lawyer Serve Papers Via Facebook · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If nothing else, the RIAA has proven that the end of online anonymity is coming. Why is anyone surprised that this is happening? It's sketchy, and from what I understand barely legal, but it's gaining momentum.

  4. Re:Figures... on Human Rights Court Calls UK DNA Database a 'Breach of Rights' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unlike fingerprints your DNA can also be used to partially identify relatives as well. Law enforcement could use this to make partial dna matches to a person that would otherwise not be in the system if a relative already was.

  5. NoScript FTW on 'Greasemonkey' Malware Targets Firefox · · Score: 0

    If you use Firefox along with NoScript you are protected from this kind of attack and many others. I highly recommend Firefox users look into this.

  6. Variety is the spice of developing? on Setting Up a Home Dev/Testing Environment? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you are developing a desktop based application having multiple computers with a variety of different hardware and software configurations can be a huge help. You can virtualize servers on a beefy machine but mixing different hardware and software is critical for ensuring you're product works in the real world.

  7. Re:The obvious solution on Worm Attack Prompts DoD To Ban Use of External Media · · Score: 1

    I'm going to go ahead and assume they are running unix. (On the back end) Think of the Id10t errors you'd get trying to switch an entire operation over to a new platform. We'd accidentally nuke something before we knew what happened.

  8. Re:Revision 3 has new, better shows! on Finding Better Tech Broadcasts? · · Score: 1

    To me Hak5 is no better than any other. It shows some good concepts but it has all been done before. They are not showing original content and personally I think the production level needs a lot of work.
