  1. Javascript might be in *it's* most important time on JavaScript Creator Talks About the Future · · Score: 1

    ..but in no way it's the most important programing language of all.

  2. ...and even better option on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    Extension of no 2:
    At some moment "accidentally lose" the private key. When law enforcment turns up get some good lawyers and fire the "responsible" (do not forget to employ the guy back when everything calms down).

  3. you haven't tried cycling on UN Backs Action Against Colonel Gaddafi · · Score: 1

    All three points are almost non-issue compared to lack of dedicated cycle paths (and done properly like in Denmark).
    1. It'd be good sometimes, but.. You just get used to it. Know the limits, do not cycle too hard and then your'e at work dry and happy.
    2. Not an issue at all - get a simple bike and u-lock with extra cable to lock wheels.
    3. The same.. simple bike + good lock.

  4. It'd be news if they used version control on Hungary Uses iPad To Draft New Constitution · · Score: 1

    At least in my home country law fixes/updates are released as annoying sets of 'from section x.y.z remove "a random sentence" and add "another random sentence"'.

  5. by far the best option on Student Sues FBI For Planting GPS Tracker · · Score: 1

    1. Park in some crazy public place. Very popular shopping area, something like Oxford street in London (sorry, don't know any equivalent in this guy's area).
    2. Call journalists about bomb attached on your car and how terrified you are.
    3. Call police about bomb attached on your car and again how terrified you are.

  6. I second this on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 2

    Bye bye Nokia...

  7. limited data delivery options on NASA Invents New Technique For Finding Alien Life · · Score: 1

    I guess spectrometer data takes bit less space compared to those "hd shots" so they will be able to check more spots.

  8. Looks like it works on Iran Launches Cyber-Police Units · · Score: 1
  9. I can confirm - Mastercard SecureCode WAS affected on Why Anonymous Can't Take Down Amazon.com · · Score: 5, Informative

    We are using online payment services from SagePay in UK and almost all Mastercard transactions during the DDOS failed. Mastercard SecureCode was affected. No doubt they deny it to the press since it's quite a shame compared to Visa which had no problems with payments during DDOS.

  10. What do you expect? on MasterCard Hit By WikiLeaks Payback Attacks · · Score: 1

    What do you expect? It's riot.

    PS: and I do support it.

  11. So what's next on Joe Lieberman to-call list? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    Twitter? They are quite useful in delivery of latest wikileaks news/rumors/agenda.

  12. well ... on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 2

    I've closed my account today. And I hope my donation to them via Paypal done about a week ago has reached them.

  13. distorted results on Google To Block Piracy-Related Terms From Autocomplete · · Score: 1

    So it shows suggestion because it's popular search term. What they are going to do is mess with those popular search stats and provide you a filtered - distorted result.

    How long before they start doing this for actual search results? Filter out or downrate torrent sites? Even legal torrent sites (some say there are some)?

    How long before this extends to a broader application like censorship of non-US-friendly sites?

  14. not uncommon on Operation Payback Shuts Down IFPI Site · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd say it's not very different from demonstrations and riots. While in most cases it's questionable - sometimes it's the only way to be noticed.

  15. on the other hand... on Once-Secret ACTA Copyright Treaty Approved By EU · · Score: 1

    I'm confused about this results page.

  16. Re:Was voting anonymous? on Once-Secret ACTA Copyright Treaty Approved By EU · · Score: 1

    It's only about one paragraph (which was rejected). Some where rejected, most were accepted. Click link "Click to see other votes for the same document: 45" on top of the page.

  17. Was voting anonymous? on Once-Secret ACTA Copyright Treaty Approved By EU · · Score: 1

    If not, anyone knows if it's possible to get a list of EP members voted for this?

  18. full attendace "benefits" on RFID Checks Student Attendance in Arizona · · Score: 1

    Some lecturers in my uni monitored student attendance and told that students who do no attend xx% of lectures would fail exam. Results? Noisy lectures where you can't hear lecturer talking, lots of distractions. So.. Yeah, it's a bad idea.

  19. Encryption helps? on Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    What about if I select my bittorrent client to connect only via encrypted connection? Is it possible to tell what torrent I am downloading without getting all torrent files that are tracked by the tracker (which is obviously easy to identify)?

  20. A must have with this vest on Japanese Build a Virtual Hugging Vest · · Score: 1

    FuFme! http://www.welookdoyou.com/fufme/ A bit outdated though, laptop version would be great.

  21. what about Stephen Hawking? on Brain-Control Gaming Headset Launching Dec. 21 · · Score: 1

    I wonder why he hasn't got anything like this yet. He's probably not into gaming, but it might help comunicating ;)

  22. Re:Thanks Theo and everyone else. on OpenBSD 4.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better to download iso and the donate those $'s for CD to OpenBSD project?

  23. "google home search" next! on Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too · · Score: 1

    When will we have google home search instead of google desktop search? So we can google for pair of clean socks when needed.
