  2. Re:"But according to a number of researchers" on One Solution to MITRE's Overworked CVE System: Build a New One (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    I see your point, I only care to assign CVE IDs to my discoveries because folks ask me for them. It gets annoying when I've found a vulnerability and someone is hounding me about the CVE ID so they can track it and mitre doesn't respond to my emails.

  3. Re:A vague problem on One Solution to MITRE's Overworked CVE System: Build a New One (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Mitre either isn't responding or flat out rejecting valid requests because they've changed the scope of what they will assign numbers too.

  4. Re:"But according to a number of researchers" on One Solution to MITRE's Overworked CVE System: Build a New One (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    What makes for a crappy security researcher? because the software they've found a bug in isn't on mitre's short little list of CVE approved vendors?

  5. Raspberry pi and andriod os on Android 4 Coming To the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested in loading andriod on my second pi due in late august, I hope it is out by then. The raspbain distro is very snappy on the little Pi. I'm very happy with it.

  7. Grey water? on Google Cools Data Center With Bathroom Water · · Score: 1

  12. Eh why.. on OK Go Goes HTML5 · · Score: 1

    did they put dudes in that video at all. Men in tights aren't a good thing from any angle.

  13. We are starting to do this already where I work. on Why IT Needs To Change for Gen Z · · Score: 1

    We are issuing certificates to personal devices and using SAML authentication to allow access to critical applications from the internet. We figure there will be no 'internal' network eventually everything will be done from the cloud. I can see this for sales type people who only need to work with some applications, but for those of us who own these applications it might be a bit more difficult.

  14. non conventional cypher? on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 1

    It's not a conventional cypher so standard cryptanalysis won't work. It could be a rotating key depending on line number or word position where simple frequency analysis would be thrown off. You'd need more samples to look at, and try to develop a pattern.

  15. Password. on Top Student Charged With Fixing Grades For Cash · · Score: 0

    Was probably pencil.

  16. Re:I know... on Documenting a Network? · · Score: 1

    We write out our passwords to a gpg encrypted file which each one of our group members can decrypt with their private key. This file is stored in rcs/perforce.
    Our perforce data is mirrored to 3 sites.

  17. Re:Doesn't scare me at all on WHO Raises Swine Flu Threat Level · · Score: 1

    Isn't it human to human now?

  18. Well after reading this story. on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 1

    I'll have to visit this neighborhood with my crowbar and ski mask. By making a scene they drew the attention of the media, which has plastered this all over for any criminal to see. So I suspect their crime rate will go up more than if they had been quiet.

  19. Linux worm. on Fears of a Conficker Meltdown Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    Generally linux users are more computer savvy and don't go opening every email attachment they get.

  20. Sure, right Chinese hardware OEM. on Windows Breaks Into Supercomputer Top 10 · · Score: 0, Troll

    And what do you think the market being flooded with new comp sci majors will do? byebye to getting 100k a year as a sr unix admin. Hello 50k a year college grad who is just happy to have a job.

  23. Skipping commercials, Yes. on Youngsters Skip DVR Ads Less Than Seniors · · Score: 1

    99% of what is being advertised on tv is sh*t. Why do I want to be force fed that stuff? I suspect the younger generation hasn't realized this yet. (I'm 33)

  24. basic electronics on Books On Electronics For the Lay Programmer? · · Score: 1

    I wanted to build some robots, so I bought a book on electronics: It's by Benard Grob, I have found it to be a great book. It starts off with what electricity is, how it moves down a wire etc.. then goes into electronic components, how and why they work.

    http://www.amazon.com/Grob-Basic-Electronics-Books/dp/002802253X

    My first robot is almost done, it's very simple and just reverses direction when it bumps into something.
