  1. Re:So what if your standing IN FRONT of the wall? on Seeing Through Walls · · Score: 1

    So, most of it's energy is heating the wall?

    I would hide some small explosives on the outer side of wall in order to notice if somebody is peeking in

  2. Re:I propose... on Renaming the Very Large Array · · Score: 1

    you'll have to actually do rename:

    A = VLA

    malloc would be unnecessary because you don't want to copy the array

  3. Re:Hate to say it... on How To Catch a Laptop Thief? · · Score: 1

    I do have reverse ssh connection in my if-up.d to my house router, so I can connect to my laptop anytime it's on network without knowing it's ip.

  4. Re:Question! on Air Force Comments On Drone Malware · · Score: 1

    It will hang into BSOD (Blue Sky Of Death) and stay in the air forever, so it will technically still be running licensed version, so - no.

  5. Re:Huh? on We Finally Know Why Oil and Water Don't Mix · · Score: 1

    An explanation of why oil and water don't mix would mean to derive that formula from the fundamental laws of physics (in this case electrodynamics and quantum mechanics).

    Yet nobody won't be able to explain those fundamental laws with the means of the same system.

  6. Re:NoScript on Microsoft Says IE9 Blocks More Malware Than Chrome · · Score: 1

    I've tried the explain page which contains flash.. hell I won't enable flash in order to view that, I prefer some security :)

  7. Re:Maximum cable length on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    The true man run PCI express by cables from their basement :p

  8. Does that mean on Sony In Talks To Buy Ericsson Out of Phone Venture · · Score: 1

    They will drop the uncomfortable "Back" key inherited from Ericsson?

    It won't be supported on Linux :p

  11. Re:lies and exaggeration on Anti-Piracy PI Talks About Building Cases Against File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Not true, Radiohead earned more for pay-what-you-want sales of "In Rainbows" than from their previous album: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2010/07/15/caring-with-cash-or-how-radiohead-could-have-made-more-money/

    And there was option to pay 0.00

  12. Re:The next major revolution will be quantum..... on Michael Nielsen's Free Video Courseware On Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    No, cat dies every other time, but you need a new cat every 18 attempts.

  13. Re:Low cost workaround... on Cloud-Powered Facial Recognition Is Terrifying · · Score: 2

    Already forbidden in France / Switzerland

  14. Re:Errors in article on Pavegen To Tap Pedestrians For Power In the UK · · Score: 1

    It produces 2.1 watts for how long? 1 second? 100ms? I guess it could make some LEDs flash.

    Watt has nothing to do with time. If you take 50W light bulb, it uses 50 Watts whenever it's on. If you keep it on for 1 second it will use 50 Ws (watt-seconds).

  15. Re:Hamer and punch on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Degauss using an old transformer.. did work 10 years ago

  16. Re:oven on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Even if he's not cremated - the HDD will be six feet underground for centuries (normally). Unless he has been murdered - nobody will be digging up that grave.

  17. Re:wireless power, I knew it!!! on Microsoft Patents Module-Based Smartphone · · Score: 1

    I guess it will have SMB password hashing weakness which will allow me to hack and drain bypasser's wireless batteries.

  18. Re:Handspring Visor on Microsoft Patents Module-Based Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Did you read the "battery pack"? It will continue to work wirelessly when separated :p

  19. Re:Meanwhile on Adobe Pushes Emergency Flash Player Security Fix · · Score: 1

    My browsers aren't either.
    Only couple of cases when I do click on flashblock is - in youtube or vimeo when they don't have html5 support

  20. Re:Orwell would be proud on Intel Shows RealVNC Embedded In the BIOS · · Score: 1

    If you can't trust manufacturer for not putting in such backdoor - how can you trust the setting that the same manufacturer put in?

  21. Re:And how bad it becomes when a vuln is found on Intel Shows RealVNC Embedded In the BIOS · · Score: 1

    Introducing Norton BIOS security 2012

  22. Re:Not very fast? on Hackers Break Browser SSL/TLS Encryption · · Score: 1

    Banks (at least on this corner of earth) do use secondary authentication for transactions - that's physical code calculator/sheet, so even having bank's SSL session won't help in transfering funds.

    Try Magnetic force microscopy

  24. Re:Superlinear speedup on River Trail — Intel's Parallel JavaScript · · Score: 1

    They probably will be pushing addition to Javascript, because the only things it missed so far was multithreading/semaphores/memory management.
    Finally the JavaScript will be complete

  25. Re:Doesn't have to work on Amazon's Bezos Seeks Spacecraft Patents · · Score: 1

    So, every time the US military will shoot a missile to a ship (let's assume North-Korean), they would have to pay patent royalties? Neat idea :)
