  1. Re:well of course! on Pentagon Says Cyberattacks Can Count As Act of War · · Score: 1

    If they made off with enough bitcoin to damage the economy, then of course it would be a warlike gesture or even an atrocity.

  2. Re:Appropriate name on World's Largest Amateur Rocket Prepares For Second Attempt · · Score: 1

    I hope I'm getting the sarcastic vibe correctly from your post! It's quite funny how Space Nutters distort reality and lie about history when it comes to space. How many space lunatics have you heard repeat the lie that Teflon was invented by NASA? Hmm, even though Teflon was discovered by accident in 1938 and was already used in the Manhattan Project? Oh the lies and distortions necessary to justify space "exploration".

    From someone on the Manhattan project: During the War, it was easier to get gold than Teflon.

  3. Re:By coincidence... on Germany To End Nuclear Power By 2022 · · Score: 1

    France has stated that it will open several new nuclear reactors before 2022, and will increase the amount of power that it exports to Germany.

    Not if Germany stops nuclear power by 2022.

    "PROTECT GOVERNMENT Act" sounds like the next step then, censoring material that could hurt the current government.

    Here's an idea, let's not connect it to the Internet.

  9. Re:I for one... on Patriot Act Extension By Autopen Raises Questions for Congressman · · Score: 1

    Back in the day, there was a gizmo in Kansas City Railroad Station that transmitted position from a pen to a remote pen via telephone. One could exchange signatures and short notes.

    Of course fax has been around for a long time.

    What the hell is this autopen machine? Wouldn't this amount to some sort of forgery, at the very least?

    Just think. President Kennedy could have signed it.

    I'd love to see some hard numbers on what an average malware author nets a month.

    Ask either that answer to that or to a question for which you know the answer. The data can be separated.

  14. Re:Security through obscurity on Siemens SCADA Hacking Talk Pulled From TakeDownCon · · Score: 1

    That's not the bit that scares me the most. The bit that scares me the most is that anyone with an ounce of skill in reverse engineering can identify the security flaws used, and anyone with an ounce of skill in assembly can disassemble Stuxnet, alter what it targets, and launch the new variant.

    By banning the talk, the DHS is preventing US industries from protecting themselves against economic warfare. Plenty of nations (China and Russia especially) are investing in cyber-warfare. There's plenty of amateurs out there with axes (albeit often as delusionary as the DHS') to grind. It is simply not excusable for the US to be placed in this kind of danger.

    That is why Stuxnet needs to be classified.

  15. Re:Let's patent sugar! on Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Persistent Bacteria Go Down · · Score: 1

    Patent sugar, sue the sugar manufacturers for infringement, destroy the sugar industry. When sugar is only available in our pills, charge $200 for a box of them. Shut down production after 5 years, and lock up the patents for the next 200 years. Implement worldwide. Profit! Sugar is gone.

  16. Re:time to stop the black coffee. on Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Persistent Bacteria Go Down · · Score: 2

    If it was that simple then it would fail to account for the fact that diabetics (who go around with high blood sugar levels almost all the time) are more prone to all types of infection than non diabetics.

    With diabetes one could have a triple blind study.

    It's only bad for "the rest of us" if by "the rest of us" you mean "Windows users, the vast majority of computer users" because Microsoft will inevitably drag its feet in fixing its vulnerabilities (if it is even able to fix them) even though it now has a direct window into how Windows machines are being attacked.

  23. Re:Embarrassment rather than dislike of open sourc on Android Honeycomb Will Not Be Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    That really suggests that, rather than be upset about the lack of open sources, people should be concerned as to why Google felt it reasonable to release software they're reluctant to release sources to because they're embarrassed.

    Would embarrassing source lead to embarrassing object code: either hard to maintain, buggy, or with security holes?

    If you're using a free service, you should expect that if someone comes along and offers to buy your username, they'll get it. I don't know why this would be surprising.
