Do you really think this will be the "end all" solution to privacy? This has been going on forever. Quantum cryptography is incredible, but it's also very new to science. No doubt will there be a counter-measure to quantum cryptography, just as there has been to everything else in the world that people use to try to "keep safe". It's just a matter of time.
Now please excuse me, while I put freakin' laser beams on my freakin' newly purchased sharks freakin' heads.
This is truly amazing. Maybe I should submit my project to Slashdot - a giant diagram of the Linux filesystem... made out of old mayonaise bottles and ketchup packets.
...has always made me look to other manufacturers. I mean, seriously. I'm not trying to be an anti-M$ zealot or anything, but I trust hardware manufacturers who SPECIALIZE in hardware, not software. It'd be like buying a Jello-brand car. Sure, they make great jello, but...
I you are too lazy to properly configure your firewall, or even more stupid and run your firewall on a PC that users can login to (or even more idiotic, run it on a Windows PC with full root for every user, ala win 98) then you deserve to be owned.
You've spoken like a true security hermit. Nobody deserves to get owned, that's like saying "If you're a defenseless old woman walking in New York at night, you deserve to get killed." Most people aren't security consious when it comes to the Internet and their computers, and not everyone NEEDS to be. It's just the way it works. People (virus and worm writers, in this case) take advantage of other (people who run Win9x/insecure OSes/software) people.
What, is this going to trick another 1% of so called "technically adept" people *COUGHmcseCOUGH* into giving their online bank login info over a freakin' website? Who ever ASKS YOU for your login information?! They reset it, and they have you reset it upon login.
Ooooh... Wait a minute. That could be a NEW strain of e-mails... Just takes a little more HTML craftmanship to code a fake E-Mail with a "reset" password, you log into the evil website with it, and enter in your "new" (which would most likely be your old one again, for most people) info. Scary!
Come on, out of all the contributions to the Linux kernel, don't you think that the ones that the NSA contribute are of the MOST audited??
I know it's a joke, but come on. That's like saying "Oh, here's the blueprints to my house, with 200% more SECRET PASSAGEWAYS to my nuclear reactor!"

The Science of Love
·
· Score: 0, Troll
This is obviously your first time being in love! =) Ahh, the beauty of naivety. Maybe when you are a bit more mature you'll see the full picture of love instead of being completely intoxicated by it's components (as suggested in the article). I'm not bashing you, I'm just saying that it's really funny to hear you say "Screw you all, I don't need to know about the science of it, I love my woman, blah blah".. It just goes to show how powerful and intoxicating love really is. (and how it pushes logic to the side, too)
Why take away rights we already have, to save "a couple" lives? Ok, ok, now before you go ranting about how much of an insensitive bastard I am, think about it in a completely un-biased way. So we've saved a couple of lives. This is good. We've also taken away a basic American right of bearing arms. From EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES. Think ratios. When you were in elementary school, didn't you get mad at the kids who got the toys taken away from EVERYONE just because he/she did something wrong? Didn't you dispise him/her because of that, just because THEY messed up doesn't mean YOU should have to suffer, right?
Same damn thing. Doesn't mean I don't feel bad for the people who get killed by guns. I just don't want my guns taken away because other people kill.
It only takes one gun-toting whacko to ruin a lot of people's lives. That's the point.
You're absolutely right.
Or only one whacko driving a car.
Or only one whacko with an axe. Or a baseball bat. Or a kitchen knife.
WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE?? Sure, we could save lives by putting more restrictions on guns/gun owners. Is that going to decrease the number of people willing to kill other people in the world? If I really wanted to kill someone, and I didn't have access to guns, I'd probably find something else to kill them with.
Watching television doesnt teach a person shit about being a responcible person. It teaches them how to be a responcible capitalist consumer.
But the important question is, did it teach her how to spell responsible?;)
Spelling rants aside, that is a very interesting situation you and your siblings are in. I could see a movie being made about something like that, and it being very good.
Seriously. We run at least 10 mission-critical Linux boxes (Mostly Debian - DNS, E-Mail, FileServing, Backup, etc.) and I don't even think my boss knows about the SCO lawsuit. The people who don't read Slashdot don't have that much exposure to it. To the (smart) businesspeople, it just looks like some dying company is trying to salvage itself using bullying techniques. So, you always think of smart business people simplifying the details to get a bigger, better picture, right? Well... There ya go.
Humans are undeniably greedy. And by this, humans are undeniably going to fuck up their own existance. This is something that is inevitable, people. I'm not saying it's good, or it should be done... But it's something that is going to happen, and there isn't anything that will stop it. Stories like this will water the concept down in words... such as:
"Mr. Bingham's parents use an AT&T service called Find Friend"
'Find Friend'?? What a nice, cuddly name for it. Even though you're appauled at the idea of tracking another human being like he/she is a fucking animal, 'Find Friend' sounds so innocent. Great. Now we're softened. Bring on the Borg! We all think as one, we all have no minds of our own. Thank you, O God of technology and time, as humans are undeniably going to destroy ourselves.
I just hope that the next beings that inhabit our planet are a little more democratic in nature.
Yes, it's a sad, doomed world.
Yes, I have been drinking. And yes, it does, in actuality, bring a queer sense of simplicity and truth to the matter before us.

Hate to burst your bubble, but end users include business users. It's the people who don't administrate the computers, it makes no distinction of whether they're actually using the computer in a business or at home.

You can always turn it off. Of course, you can't make the dumbass in the movie theater turn his off.
;)
You can if you have a cellphone freq. jammer...
I hate cell phones!! I hate people who use them while driving, while around lots of people in public places, and especially in...
Wait, I've got to take this call...

The difference is, you can use the Internet at work.
Yes, this is true. I've been at work for 2 hours and 15 minutes, and I've replaced just about 2 hours of work with 2 hours of Internet.
A lot of work gets done on the net...
True again, but as I said, I've replaced 2 hours of work with 2 hours of Internet (Read: Slashdot). =)
I live about 20 minutes from Sebastopol! I rock! :-p
