  1. Re:No on ICANN's Brand-Named Internet Suffix Application Deadline Looms · · Score: 0

    .com should be taken down (gradually, of course), in favour of ccTLDs.

    It confises people for one. Do you know how many people get confused by a name@lastname.com email address?
    It also doesn't match the rest of the somewhat organized hierarchy.

  3. Re:Why would I want this compatibility break? on Mosh: Modernizing SSH With IP Roaming, Instant Local Echo · · Score: 1

    Except the fact that this only solves a problem that exists today (bad 4G coverage, for example), instead of a permanent one (insecure).

  4. Re:Obsolete within five years on Mosh: Modernizing SSH With IP Roaming, Instant Local Echo · · Score: 1

    Not all the world has 4G. Heck, my mom live in a 300k population city (and one of the largest in this country), and there's not even 3G coverage there.

    I've only one or twice picked up 3G coverage myself as well.
    While I agree it 10 years this will be useless, it *is* usefull now.

    Safe enough? For $1000?
    I could pay my breakfast every day (~$20) for a couple of months to recover the investment, from then on, free breakfast!

    I'm from Argentina, which is on America, and yes, this is the vision generally shared around here.

    That's because a patch for security holes can be created equaly as fast; but more people dedicate themselves to fix rather than exploit.

    Up until the point someone patented "rounded borders" on a tablet.
    What kind of stupid patent is that? Just like tons of others we see on ./ every day.

    I'm generally suprised by this whole article.
    In Argentina, there a 48hs period for returning anything without any reason.

    When it comes to warranty, you can go up to either the seller, manufacturer, or anyone else in the distribution chain.

    If I can get my hands on it, I can tamper it. Period.

    Ok, not me, but rather, an expert on the subject.

    No, I'm not saying I have a say because I bought the game. I'm saying I have a right because they promised something.

    Imagine you buy a car, and the dealer says it's got AC. You buy it, and find out it doesn't. It's as simple as that: they said what I was paying for one something it wasn't.

    as for shepard's survival, first they explained that he was already more than human after the illusive man resurrected him. second, he only shows signs of life in the rubble in the control ending. he kind of has to survive, or the whole "control" thing didn't work out. the illusive man was a full blown cyborg after indoctrination. pretty reasonable to assume here that shepard is also part machine.

    Doesn't matter on which ending he lived, on all of them the citadel blows up. Yup, a huge 44km long space station completely blows up.
    He can
    a) Be in space (how can he breathe??)
    b) Have fallen into earth (how are there still enough parts joined together to manage to brethe after that fall?)

    The Illusive man was part cyborg because of the operation he underwent on that base where you kill Mirada's dad (can't recall the name). Shepard wasn't at all close to something like that.

    with the geth after synthesis, they just recently acquired free will as an ability, and now we can assume that whatever it is we think is so great about being "alive" is also granted to the geth.

    No, they adquired free will long ago. It was back when they Quarians initially started was to be precise.

    I don't think purging the geth can be considered "good", they're, ironically, one of the most "humane" species, and one of the ones that could help the most rebuild really (remember how fast they helped rebuild on Rannoc?)

  14. Re:Usually you run as root on Critical Flaw Found In Backtrack Linux · · Score: 1

    So what's the problem?
    Priviledge escalation means that someone with access to the PC can become root. Only you have access to it while running from the liveCD, no-one can you the exploit but you. Specially not over a network.

    I'm really impressed by these prices. I live in Argentina, and a Nokia N9 still costs around 1.3kUSD here.

    Why? They do network penetration testing, not priviledge escalation tests; they're totally unrelated.
    No-one expects BT to be safe, it's an "offensive" tool, not one used to secure anything.

    Firefox isn't irrelevant. It's got a considerable market share, and without having ads everywhere (chrome), or bundling it with windows. That's pretty respectable. It's been growing, while IE has been dying too.
