  1. Re:And Mafiaboy on Botnet Spammer Gets Just 18 Months For Being Odd · · Score: 1

    Well, there was also no precedent at the time. If he did the same thing today it would net a harsher sentence.

    You refute your own argument!
    >> Modern designs
    >> More advanced

    How old are the designs for the shuttle boosters? Shuttle boosters cant throttle or pulse.

    Why the heck would you take 6 testicles? Short of making sperm they are useless. Not to mention the security risk of tripling the size and intensity of "the hit zone". Take the double heart or double thumb instead, way more useful.

    You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what lobbyist wrote that clause of the bill...

    What decade are you talking about? 1940?

    That's why you're broke and this idiot is depositing $150k in his bank ;P

  8. Re:High Frequency Trading on Scalpers Bought Tickets With CAPTCHA-Busting Botnet · · Score: 1

    They bought them under multiple and false identities to get around the volume limits set per person. Not that different than setting up a dozen LLCs.

  9. Re:So? on Scalpers Bought Tickets With CAPTCHA-Busting Botnet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It doesnt matter *how* they do it, the end result is the same. The artist wants $10/seat, but a fan ends up paying $50/seat because they have to go through a third party. Ticketmaster is just as bad as any scalper. This time they just got pissed because someone else beat them to it.

    What ever happened to the kitten-captcha? aka, pick out the pictures of cats from a 4x4 grid of pics.

    The "good" genius works for the corporations. The "evil" ones are always the ones doing things the corporation does not like.

  12. So? on Scalpers Bought Tickets With CAPTCHA-Busting Botnet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How is this any different than Ticketmaster scooping up all the good seats and auctioning them off on their own?

    Never underestimate stupid users.

  14. Router eh? on Traffic Jams In Your Brain · · Score: 5, Funny

    Have they tried unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in?

  15. Re:How much is stolen? on China Demonstrates 25+ Unmanned Aerial Vehicles · · Score: 0

    True, but when those designs are classified military hardware, that is stealing.

  16. How much is stolen? on China Demonstrates 25+ Unmanned Aerial Vehicles · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And how much of this tech is stolen from the USA and other nations?

  17. Re:Hidden volumes? on Whitehat Hacker Moxie Marlinspike's Laptop, Cellphones Seized · · Score: 3, Funny

    Logic dictates that you'd send an agent at least as smart as the suspect to do the HD search. Granted, this is the government...

    Quality > Quantity

  19. Re:Israeli security solution on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 1

    Where were you flying to? If you were heading to the USA, then you get the "special treatment".

  20. Re:Israeli Airport Security folks are professional on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yeah, but you need to keep in mind the number of airports israel has. Its easier to have good security when you only have a few airports to worry about. The US has hundreds.

  21. Would I get in trouble? on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 1

    I need to fly out west later this year. Would I get in any kind of trouble if I just showed up in a speedo and flip flops?

  22. I'd feel safer... on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would feel safer if we got rid of the TSA and just had one or two fully decked out marines on board each flight. Would be cheaper too...

  23. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously) on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 1

    Where is the money on that though? That would stop the TSA from spending millions on these machines. Sure, all this could be accomplished with a few nice posters in airports telling people what to look out for. But we all know that'll never happen.
