  1. Re:This Just In on Palin Email Hacker Found · · Score: 1

    Same goes for a zip code (12345 anyone?).

    That's the combination on my luggage!

  2. Re:Why the tone in the summary? on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're not trying to cover up a broken transformer - they're trying to cover up the tiny black hole that formed in the transformers, and is growing exponentially.

    Not to worry, once this gets too big to contain, I can guarantee that no information about the disaster will ever get out.

  3. Re: electoral college on Barr Sues Over McCain's, Obama's Presence on Texas Ballot · · Score: 1

    Why do we have X? Because Y is a swing state

    Basically, you make the argument that because people vote, those they elect must be responsive to their wants and needs. Isn't that kindof the point?

    Only if you're talking about 90 degree turns. Clearly, this person lives in a city where 67.5 degree turns are the norm.

  6. Re:why not wind up? on Human-Powered Vehicle Speed Competition · · Score: 1

    Or you can turn a dynamo and store the energy in batteries which you can then use to crank out kilowatts of electrical power to drive an electric motor?

    As long as you can crank up the spring during the time the race is run, I don't see a problem with it.

    Vista has its place, even in my home.

  10. Re:Secure by permissioning or secure by encryption on HTTPS Cookie Hijacking Not Just For Gmail · · Score: 1

    File Permissions: When the web server asks to write cookie, browser uses file permissions to create a group for that site, and allows only members of that group to read or write to that cookie. Either use the disk filesystem's permissioning, or reimplement a permissioning system within the browser profile, to be used only for cookies.

    Requires giving the browser root access to the system (though you can mitigate this by running a jail or sandbox).

    Good point, kindof why I suggested re-implementing permissioning at a higher level of abstraction than the filesystem.

    I thought that's what SSL cookies do in the first place?

    Right, but I'm saying they should do encrypted cookies across the board, whether the site is SSL or not.

  11. Secure by permissioning or secure by encryption? on HTTPS Cookie Hijacking Not Just For Gmail · · Score: 1

    Ways to fix this:

    File Permissions: When the web server asks to write cookie, browser uses file permissions to create a group for that site, and allows only members of that group to read or write to that cookie. Either use the disk filesystem's permissioning, or reimplement a permissioning system within the browser profile, to be used only for cookies.

    File Encryption: Using a public key encryption method, the content of cookie file is encrypted using the web site's private encryption key, and can only be decrypted by the web server.

    Perhaps a combination of both approaches would yield the most secure cookie system.

    As long as it's not chocolate rain or acid rain, I don't think I really mind.

  13. Offshore platforms, not ships on The Google Navy · · Score: 1

    Rather than put it on a ship, why not put it on a stable platform, similar to an offshore oil rig?

    You could still generate energy via wave power, but the platform would be stable enough that premature hard drive failure wouldn't be a problem.

    Air in the datacenter rooms would need to be kept free of salt and spray, but this is do-able with proper filtration.

  17. Google knows marketing on Google Chrome, Day 2 · · Score: 1

    Google's marketing on this has been absolutely great.

    First they got my attention and made me aware that they're working on something. This worked because they're Google and I'm already paying attention to them because of their prominence and track record.

    Then they provided me with an engaging explanation for the rationale behind developing yet another web browser. I didn't care at first, because I'm pretty sold on Mozilla. But I was curious to know why Google felt like a new browser was worth the effort to develop, so I read the comic, and the more I read about what they're doing with Chrome, the more I saw the good in the project.

    For the moment, I'm still using Mozilla for my primary browser, and until Chrome becomes a little more feature-complete I'll continue to do so. Once Chrome implements support for Browser extensions similar to what Mozilla has, and a few of the essential Moz add-ons have been ported, I'm pretty much sold. At the moment, Mozilla's configurability and customizations are what wins with me. But for as immature as Chrome is, it's already very impressive, and I understand (and like) where Google's going with it.

    Direct the output of your cooling units directly into the intakes of the servers, and exhaust the hot air coming out the back of them out of the server room, rather than letting it recirculate within the server room.
