  1. Re:Secure e-voting on Researchers Demo Hardware Attacks Against India's E-Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    It's because this is one case where the pencil and paper solution is preferable. Just because it uses new technology doesn't make it better.

  2. Re:For obvious reasons? on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, the best security is one where people don't know which procedure you're using AND the procedure itself is well known and still secure. Security through obscurity isn't the best form of security, but it does add an extra layer of strength.

  3. Re:baseball? on Gamer Wins $1M For Pitching Virtual "Perfect Game" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Better do both to be on the safe side.

  4. Re:Hardcore players on Estimating Game Piracy More Accurately · · Score: 1

    Something tells me they either don't look at the lower bound very much or the lower bound is higher than the actual lost sales.

  5. Re:if you pick a fight, don't whine if you lose it on Estimating Game Piracy More Accurately · · Score: 1

    Both sides are responsible for causing DRM, but the game publishers are the only ones with the power to stop it.

    Wonder if the cracked version will have lan...

  7. Re:But... on Estimating Game Piracy More Accurately · · Score: 1

    His argument wasn't about self interest though, it was what benefit (for game manufacturers) does it bring if he restricts himself from pirating.

  8. Re:It's Always the Chess Players on Russian Officials To Investigate Regional President's Alien Abduction Claims · · Score: 1

    High-ranked is not the same as high-profile.

  9. Re:It's Always the Chess Players on Russian Officials To Investigate Regional President's Alien Abduction Claims · · Score: 1

    The GP is suggesting that the subgroup 'high profile chess players' has a population of about 10. A sample of size 2 from a population of size 10 is significant.

  10. Re:The middle path? on FCC To Make Move On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    That's what classifying them Title II would mean, they don't want that.

  11. Re:Attendence in college? on RFID Checks Student Attendance in Arizona · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or better, paint some foil the appropriate color and put it over the sensors.

  12. Re:And she misses the business point. on Former Head of CIA Think Tank Talks Privacy, Technology · · Score: 1

    You can change the people, not the government.

  13. Re:More crazy US laws. on Google Explains Why It Became an Energy Trader · · Score: 1

    Because obviously a data center is an example of a closed system...

  14. Re:Patent and copyright litigation on AU Optronics Asks For US Ban On LG LCD Sales · · Score: 1

    It may not be necessary for companies, but it is necessary for individuals.

  15. Re:simply standing too close to an officer.. on Writer Peter Watts Sentenced; No Jail Time · · Score: 1

    You get that booklet by going to the DMV and picking one up or by taking any driving course. You can also find a copy at most state DMV websites if you're curious.

  16. Re:DRM on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except that the people who ripped it and uploaded it did so in January.

  17. Re:Call me naive... on Japanese Consortium Projects a Humanoid Robot On the Moon By 2015 · · Score: 1

    They want to duplicate the Apollo mission without the risk to human life.

  18. Re:Copyright laws. on Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    By taking credit for the work you are depriving the original author of that credit. If you copy it, they still have their copy.

  19. Re:While we're at it... on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately no, the PS2 emulation is hardware and works as advertised for each generation of PS3. (with each generation advertising less and offering less)

  20. Re:Having done the firmware upgrade... on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    The PS3 slims were never advertised as having this ability.

  23. Re:Want your pilots to focus? on FAA Says No More Minesweeper Or Solitaire In Cockpit · · Score: 1

    So when the pilot falls asleep the plane crashes, brilliant.

  24. Re:$16M seem cheap? on Japan To Launch Solar Sail Spacecraft "Ikaros" · · Score: 1

    As the article implies, the $16M price tag is the price of the ship, not including the price of using it. Given that it's being sent up as a secondary launch for another mission the price of using it should be pretty low.

  25. Re:Haben wir allen vergessen? on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 1

    Now you need license, registration, proof of insurance, and proof of citizenship. (license doesn't cut it)
