    RFC 1149 is vulnerable to man-with-gun-in-the-middle attacks of which there is plenty of in Pakistan.

  2. Re:The only secure system... on NSA Considers Its Networks Compromised · · Score: 1

    Well the system has the unique trait of becoming safer with time has the probe travel farther away from Earth. The data safety is a race between the distance traveled by the probe and space travel improvements since the probe launch.

    What about a computer on a space probe that doesn't have transmitting equipment? Getting it back or even sending something to catch it would be near impossible.

  4. Final Fantasy Versus XIII on Final Fantasy XIV Launches To Scathing Reviews · · Score: 1

    I am waiting for Versus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Versus_XIII to come out before judging single player Final Fantasy done. It has several elements that should produce a quality game: a setting that can only be described as the spiritual successor of FFVII, the standard features of Final Fantasy that were lacking from XXIII(towns, exploration) should be back in, some of the most gorgeous graphics available on the market and the fact that Square knows that it can't botch this one and get away with it again. I don't expect a miracle but I would be suprised at nothing less than strong title to bring the series back in line.

  6. Re:When I buy a game, I /buy the game/ on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    Arcades dying in North America is also caused by the convenience of gaming at home compared to going out to an arcade. Arcades are still popular in Japan and Korea has PC bangs, I would attribute some of that success on denser urban area making them more accessible. League of Legends revenue is fully fueled by microtransactions and the game is blooming. Most mmos are now based on microtransactions and you don't see a lot of them going bankrupt. The microtransaction model can work.

  7. Bloat on Visa Launches PayPal Alternative · · Score: 0, Troll

    Just what I needed, more bloat on checkout pages.

  8. Re:This beta should be...fun? on StarCraft II Beta To Begin This Month · · Score: 1

    Its not 3 60$ games, its one game and two expansions. Each SC2 storyline is focused on playing mostly a single race but will have more content than the original game did with all 3.

  9. Re:Classic consoles? on Classic Game Console Design Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Its an absolutely horrible concept when you use it in a game that heavily relies on the stick. Before I received a proper fight stick, I had to set the training dummy in Blazblue to "2nd controller", the default setting is to use the stick button to switch the training dummy into record and replay modes. In a game that doesn't use the stick much, moving the camera view is probably a good example, it makes sense to use it has an additional button.

  10. Re:Haven't we learned anything? on CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree · · Score: 1

    The point is that they were the ones censoring the facts of the wiki articles by overwriting them pro-scientology lies.

  11. Re:Okay but where does this end? on Church of Scientology On Trial In France · · Score: 1

    Its a shame I posted in this discussion, I should have kept my mod access just because I knew some of you would creep out and try to defend people that will "disconnect" people from their family and that's just the beginning of what they do to their members.

  12. Got to give credit to the French on Church of Scientology On Trial In France · · Score: 1

    While America left itself be bribed into accepting a scam has a religion, France maintained its integrity. Its a shame the scientology achieved the buyout of most the plaintiffs

  13. Re:forgemil.com? on US Dept. of Defense Creates Its Own Sourceforge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My guess is that forgemil.com is the worldwide site that advertise the project while forge.mil is reserved to the individuals with the required certificate.

  14. Re:Comcast on Bittorrent To Cause Internet Meltdown · · Score: 1

    You forgot gaming, sacrilegious.

  15. Re:You cannot call it breach of contract... on CRTC Rules Bell Can Squeeze Downloads · · Score: 1

    Try Acanac, they are still traffic shaped by Bell but they provide a official workaround that use a SSH tunnel to connect to their server that you use to connect to the trackers. You could also activate full BT traffic encryption if your client support it. Both solution worked during my short stay with Acanac, I was however forced back to Videotron since Bell doesn't think it has to provide high speed DSL in all areas of suburbs, if you are lucky the CO box will be close enough for a fast connection, if not, you are forced to use cable.

  17. Re:Seems to me like a bit of a role reversal on Microsoft Begs Hardware Makers To Take Support Seriously · · Score: 1

    Graphics cards drivers are an horrible example of drivers that should be developed by Windows. Not only is the quality of code extremely important for graphic cards but AMD, Microsoft could control the market by writing good code for those paying them more. Devices that can run on simple standard drivers written by Microsoft is fine, if the quality of product is severely affected by how good the driver code is then it shouldn't be something Microsoft get involved with.
