  1. Re:You mean like on Mozilla Testing Click-to-Play Option For Plugin Content · · Score: 2

    i think you need to change the defaults for that. Might be a reason, why some noscript users still use flashblock.

  2. Its already tested on Mozilla Testing Click-to-Play Option For Plugin Content · · Score: 1

    flashblock and noscript provide this option since a looooong time. They could just ask the users of these addons for their experience.

  4. the problem with xp on End of Windows XP Support Era Signals Beginning of Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    as advertised in the installer, xp is the best windows version of all times.

    this means, any later version can only be worse. No wonder, that nobody wants to upgrade.

    uh, oh ...

    what about some VERY early version of linux?

  6. Re:ISP that uses NAT? on Super-Privacy-Protecting ISP In the Planning · · Score: 1

    its always based on this. but TFA says, this ISP defines itself by avoiding to log the crucial stuff needed to associate an ip adress with a name. How they can do it, depends on the loopholes in surveilance laws.

    Look at google. Everybody already doing the stuff google does, but google gets the trouble for it. For example: wifi-mapping. The Press' Opinion: "Evil evil google!"

  11. Re:ISP that uses NAT? on Super-Privacy-Protecting ISP In the Planning · · Score: 2

    you won't need nat or stuff like tor.
    just assign the customer one ip(i.e. from a private range), map it 1:1 to another ip(needs to be public) and it won't even break p2p (open ports, etc.), but if you do not log how you mapped the ips, any ip log of only private/only public ips is worthless.

    will it not even be cheaper NOT to log?

  13. Re:License to print money on Super-Privacy-Protecting ISP In the Planning · · Score: 1

    Make logs useless.
    Like "okay, i need to log ips? The Customer gets a private one, which is mapped 1:1 to a public one. No logs of the mapping"
    Like a anonymous-VPN built into the ISP itself. The anonymous VPN is legal, the ISP is legal, why not the combination?

  14. Re:Bye-bye Instagram... on Facebook To Buy Instagram For $1 Billion · · Score: 2

    not enough domains. think of all the connect-stuff and fbcdn and such related sites.

    This are even the wrong domains. www.facebook.com is the harmless one, which is only active, when you WANT to visit facebook. the other subdomains and other domains are the ones tracking you on the web via facebook-comments, like-buttons, etc.

    the problem may be, if one person doesn't really want the biggest piece, he can ruin it for all the others, too.

  18. Re:Multiple Posts on Twitter Files Suit Against Spam Software Authors · · Score: 1

    it depends on your definition of spam.
    for some people, an account which is always tweeting youtube-links to funny cat videos is cool, others would never follow this account, because its only spamming with cat videos. In my opinion, most twitter-accounts which only tweet links should not be on twitter, but should provide a rss-feed, which is more appropriate for this.

    when you're a spammer*, yes.

    * yeah, there are even non-automated accounts doing this. But i perceive them as spammers, too. Why would someone want to follow such an account?!

    yeah, or i once had a sshd with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPIE_Authentication_System running. Nice thing, you generate a bunch of passwords and print it. Then you can login from everywhere without looking out for keyloggers.

    maybe with pam.

    at least you can for example use password AND one-time-password with pam, which applies for ssh, too.
    with OTP its more often used as password replacement (login from places where you do not trust the computer), but you can configure it as two-factor auth as well.

    soon computers will pass the tests better than humans.

    there are two types of tests:
    - ones with a rather small set of human-made puzzles, computers can just learn them one time
    - ones which are generated by computers. Those can be solved by computers, too.
    The most ridiculous ones are simple math problems in the html-text.

    the average case is some distorted text, which will soon be no problem for computers anymore, as OCR software is getting better.
