  1. Re:ulteo on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Remote Application Access? · · Score: 1

    I recently implemented this at the University I work for. It is a robust replacement for citrix. If your only using Linux based apps it is free (as in beer). If you require windows applications, multiple terminal servers (along with the cost of licensing) may be implemented to act as a pool of application servers available to the clients. The only real drawbacks we have found is legacy software which upon installation decides its ok to use old 32bit code as well as newer 64bit code bases. Windows separates the two components into the C:\Program Files & C:\Program Files (x86) folders which causes the Windows application server available for Ulteo-OVD to get confused due to path problems for that particular piece of software. The other is trying to use anything with OpenGL or DirectX. There went my game server. Other than that we have a production environment which has been in place for about a year now.

    crypto is new to myself and I am by no means a mathematician. However after using libraries in various development projects I always see a significant rise in interest in what I am doing. Not just the project but my personal life which kinda pisses me off. I pay taxes, get out of my life.

    I recently began writing an article for web developers on implementation of symmetrical and asymmetrical client side (JavaScript) encryption techniques and it seems like it will never get published due to the bureaucratic bullshit plaguing our nation today. I understand concerns of misuse, I understand needs for wiretaps... but to stifle an article that helps with education and addresses security concerns plaguing todays on-line shopping charts to prevent the defrauding of others? Our tax money hard at work...

  8. Re:And if there's a man in the middle? on Quantum Cryptography Now Fast Enough For Video · · Score: 1

    So development of a secure communications channel utilizing quantum crypto being inherently susceptible to a denial of service condition due to specialized hardware necessary for transmission which would have to wait for someone to stop listening before re-generating key pairs then transmitting?

    I hope this is not in development to replace the 911 infrastructure or monetary data transmissions on a winder scale until that is addressed.

    Perhaps a fiber switch/router hardware solution to allow switched routes and the necessary attenuation needed?

  10. Re:Incorrect Summary on UK Gov't Wants Facebook To Feature Child Safety Button · · Score: 1

    So mandating an option such as this for chat applications; whether in a social networking site, or 3rd party chat application, is our government stepping on our toes?

    Or is it a method to eliminate the current system where due to lack of funds and man power our law enforcement hire cheap labor in the form of victims of said offenses?

    This option might eliminate the bias introduced and could also be used to eliminate on line scamming, automated bots etc.

    Besides, this is less invasive of an option and puts controls in the hands of any on line user

    If they really wanted to be invasive they could utilize a spider to index photographs on any public and non-public site, utilize facial recognition to do comparisons with the existing database of missing and exploited children for possible matches.

    This may only be invasive in regards to indexing non-public sites and it may actually backfire financially due to a fairly large portion of the world economy relying on the oldest profession on the planet.

    Privacy is a big thing, invasive government monitoring is a problem, as is corruption within law enforcement and I think this option would help eliminate a portion of that bias.

  11. hmmmm on UK Gov't Wants Facebook To Feature Child Safety Button · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Good parenting is a better option.

    Having a button in any type of chat application which either party can flag a conversation with is so interfering with a UI that you all hate the idea?

    I don't have kids, and I cannot think of anything better then good parenting but I also cannot see any harm adding a simple for the sole purpose of making it easier to handle things such as bots, scammers, predators etc.

    The only problem I can really see is misuse of the button when an ex-girlfriend decides she wants to fuck with her ex-boyfriend in a malicious manner.

    I suppose filtering and priority detection can be implemented to possibly eliminate false positives etc.

  12. Living in... on Utah Considers Warrantless Internet Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    Utah is interesting.
    We have everything that the bigger cities have. Unfortunately that includes corruption. I am not going to try and slander the law enforcement community as a whole, nor the politicians, as I do not think it is warranted.

    However, having witnessed first hand corruption I cannot think of any law that would stop this practice.

    This whole thing of labeling everything a sex crime, leads me to believe that cointellpro has simply morphed into a form that will always merit support from politicians, families and law enforcement constituents.

    I have not read the contents of the bill but I wonder if there are safeguards for us tax payers? I also question biased opinions from within the ranks those that took an oath to protect the law. A tapped internet connection can also be used as a reverse proxy which would then be subjected to the investigative authority and their best interests and/or their quota.
