  2. Re:Bad usernames too on The Case For Lousy Passwords · · Score: 1

    Another option is to use a disposable email account such as: http://www.guerrillamail.com/

  3. Re:Causality on America's Cubicles Are Shrinking · · Score: 1

    What we need to do is bust up the megacorporations and get rid of the top-level leech class that don't produce anything. But good luck seeing that happen any time soon. Those tax-evading assholes have too much media control to get the word out about them.

    The lop-level "leech class" produces the majority of the wealth/jobs in this country.

    What you'll say next:

    You must be one of those idiots that watches Fox News!

    And you must be one of those idiots that watches MSNBC.

    etc. etc.

  4. Re:Sigh. Consparicy theorists on Hidden Backdoor Discovered On HP MSA2000 Arrays · · Score: 1

    Seriously, going from this to "OMG government conspiracy," based on NO additional evidence means you are presupposing. You've decided on a conclusion (that the government requires everything to have a backdoor, which is 100% false)...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act

    "CALEA's purpose is to enhance the ability of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to conduct electronic surveillance by requiring that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have built-in surveillance capabilities, allowing federal agencies to monitor all telephone, broadband internet, and VoIP traffic in real-time."

    That might change your mind.

    If telecommunications and internet connections are essentially required to have government back doors, is it really that far off to assume the same for popular operating systems?

  5. The Solution? on Two Major Ad Networks Found Serving Malware · · Score: 1

    Adblock Plus. Should be a built-in Firefox add-on by default IMO.

  6. Re:You can't fix stupid on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    Not capital punishment, but maybe capital-locking punishment.

  7. That's nice, but... on YouTube Launches Ads You Can Skip · · Score: 1

    I already skip ALL Youtube ads with Adblock.

  8. Re:Summary Fail on Wikileaks DDoS Attacker Arrested, Equipment Seized · · Score: 4, Informative

    Try as I might, I see ZERO MENTION of the jester being arrested in the linked article. Here's the real article, pulled from the original submission:

    http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/12/1/wikileaks-hacker-raided-cops/

    Interestingly enough, thinq.co.uk seems to be one of only a few, if more than one, reporting on the subject. A few quick google searches turned up nothing regarding his arrest..

    Reply posted on the link you provided above: "UPDATES: Reports of the raid and confiscation of equipment are most likely a hoax or an elaborate social engineering scheme to capitalize on current news events: https://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/9916-Hacker-The-Jester-Reports-Raid-By-Law-Enforcement.html "

  9. I think we already have that... on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the AA-12 automatic shotgun already do the same thing with the right type of rounds? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchisson_Assault_Shotgun#Cartridges

  10. Re:headline? on China's Politburo Behind Google Cyber-Attack? · · Score: 1

    That, and everyone already knows who he is now; if he suddenly disappeared just before a big leak was slated to happen, don't you think that would make people wonder?

  11. Verdict? on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Good news.

  13. Wow, I agree with Obama here on Obama Budget To Triple Nuclear Power Loan Guarantees · · Score: 1

    This is probably the first time (that I remember anyway) where I agree with Obama on something. Great move IMO.

  14. Re:Password strength vs. how often you change it on Analysis of 32 Million Breached Passwords · · Score: 1

    My company forces me to do the same, only it's even more often. Yes, strength does decline...
