And if you're on someone's wire, aren't all security bets off ?
Unless he built his own Tor node, joined the network, then captured his proxied traffic - which is something ANY Tor admin could do, in which case its STILL not particulary insightful, cool, or 31337.
Keep repeating that, fanboi. Never use something version less then v2 or greater than v10. That translates roughly to "after years and years of shitty, tinkertoy DB, MS finally got their act together, but we've moved on since then."
80 GB is enough for anyone. Seriously - if you need more than that, in a portable, then the data better be elsewhere - if you lose the portable, you've lost a lot of data.
How about 80 GB, but 50% less power? I want 80 GB in my Zaurus CF slot, that I can use all day.
The "code" probably digests an 8 bit unsigned char output of a A/D converter, a signal from the "alcohol detecterizer chip", the innards of which are probably proprietary. Then, if [quantized signal] is greater than X, then light the yellow light, if greater than [X+Y], light the red light and make a beep sound.
Perhaps he's in a secret valley somewhere, protected by a holographic screen, with other adventurers and industrialists, plotting a takeover of the world?
Questions: * were they secured computers? You know, the ones networked via fiber in concrete-filled conduits so that the physical layer can't be compromised? * is this even a new thing?
Assumptions: Is everyone so sure that the US hasn't ALREADY hacked the Chinese computers?
Before everyone gets their panties in an uproar, some context would be nice.
So he's a music producer, but somehow knows about the inner workings of the rootkit, and he discloses something that NOBODY else figured out about the rootkit? Amazing.
How about an Exchange killer? How about making gmailfs "real"? How about ANYTHING other than Google Earth and Picassa? You know, for people who use their computers, for something other than MySpace.
What about the oil sale to Occidental Petroleum? What about the companies who make "official" signs every time wording gets changed? What about the monopoly money poured into porkbarrel and boondoggle projects?
TFA is about real theft, so its not really so much "whistle-blowing" as it is awareness-raising. Whistle-blowing on bunk government pork is far more important.
So the Free-as-in-Speech crowd finally has a whipping boy, or many, if you RTFA, and whats happening? NOTHING. Why is that? Because the classic 'intellectual' response kicks in - hand-wringing, hints that the folks doing this are 'evil', that they have a License which prohibits this, etc. Will they go to court? No. Will they do anything? No.

You have a backup of all your data, right?

People want to have brightly lit everything, since w/o lights, instantly you will be robbed, raped, and murdered. Blame the soccer mom mentality.
Old people don't vote, and Gen Y and Z just pirate stuff anyway, or accept YouTube quality audio as acceptable.
How's it feel to be a marginalized demographic, Slashdotters?
You win the thread.

What about that one ?
Dude. It's SLASHDOT.
Dude, your UID is lower than mine, and you're whinging about RTFA ??

That's a study I'd like to see done.
The nice thing about standards, is that there's so many to choose from.
Idiotic premise of this article - you have to tune to SOMETHING.
Is there an absolutely fool-proof device that can provide this without requiring virus scanners and constant attention?"
Yes, get a Mac.

"Such a payout would serve as a deterrent only if all 50 states had sued and won similar amounts. Alone it's a slap on the wrist."
