  1. Re:And on Physicists Do What Einstein Thought Impossible · · Score: 1

    Speed of diarrhea.

    Seriously, whem I'm rushing to the bathroom I don't even have the time to think of switching on the lights.

  2. I don't know about this... on Japanese Company Turns Diapers Into Energy Source · · Score: 3, Funny

    It really looks like crapware.

    Please excuse the poor english.

    A man walks up to God and says:
    Oh God, since for you, the whole age of the universe means just a second,
    As for you all distance in the galaxies is merely a small step,
    As for you all money on Earth is just a cent... ...would you give me a cent?

    God says:

    - Just a second, please.

  4. Re:Big Question... on Goodbye Apple, Hello Music Production On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    You'll find that many pro-audio products are supported by ALSA, thus work well in JACK (though never as many as we wish we had). The favorites as far as I can recall (it's been a while since I've bought equipment are the Delta 1010 and the low-budget 1010LT (ten in, ten out), and a few other well-known brands (edirol, steinberg and even some amateur hardware such as creative labs -- check the matrix at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main).

    It's quite an adventure to get it all together, and I spent a couple of days understanding everything only to get the first few seconds recorded, but it's a nice journey.

  5. Re:Big Question... on Goodbye Apple, Hello Music Production On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure TFA (which is slashdotted ATM) might be referring to some very well-done, production-grade software for pro audio on Linux:

    JACK Audio Connection Kit, by Paul Davis, and Ardour - a digital audio workstation also by him (and many contributors of course... really an outstanding piece of software).

    These are my favorites and the main pieces around which a DAW is built around.

    You can also try looking for Rosegarden, Jack-Rack, Seq29, Qsynth, Zynaddsubfx (a little outdated but still nice synth), aeolus and I'm sure we could go on for a while.

    Your hardware interfaces will mostly have a hard time working in Linux, but check out the options, they might be worth it.

  6. Re:Brain impairment on Artificial Brain '10 Years Away' · · Score: 1

    "Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said."

    Only two billion? Sounds kind of low. My estimate is more in the neighborhood of 6-7 billion.

    Oblig. xkcd.

    Spot on.

    Can I have the car analogy for this one please?

    Maybe we should have a "computer driver's license" so people with computers learn at least the most basic things about 'driving' and maintenance.

  11. Re:Makes sense on Schneier Says We Don't Need a Cybersecurity Czar · · Score: 1

    That would be two strategies, but hardly two standards.

    It could easily be the same security framework or standard (ISO27000?), applied to different realities gives you a different strategy of course.

    Mod parent +10. That couldn't be more true.

    On a lighter side: are dumb fucking pipes some kind of pipes that fuck dumb people?

    Because that would mean that carriers are really out to fuck dumb people... oh wait, they are, nevermind.

  13. Re:Unimpressed with ICC on High Performance Linux Kernel Project — LinuxDNA · · Score: 1

    Hey, but I bet you haven't tried with the article-mentioned "Intel ICC Compiler". Now with more redundancy! That will get you 200% more runtime than GCC!!

    Maybe "Intel ICC Compiler for C Language"? Oh, that's a winner.

    Holy shit... Godwin in less than an hour after the story was posted. That must be some kind of record.

  15. Re:Extremely simple concept on ASCII Art Steganography · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that if you are the only one that has the source image (i.e., some picture of yours) or even if you modify any source image (color, contrast, compression, you name it) in a way that is unique to your source image file, there's no easy way to discover the pattern, since you can't see the 'original' (pre-stego) picture.

    Pretty much like a symmetrical cryptosystem.

    You could call that security by obscurity, but even so it is a nice obscurity :).

  17. Re:They might have missed a small detail on New Denial-of-Service Attack Is a Killer · · Score: 1

    Thing is, if I use half a dozen zombies near to you, even if your hypothesis happens, I cut you off.

    Also, quoting yourself quoting the article: "Unfortunately, it may affect other devices between here and there so it's not really a good idea."

    That does not sound as "first hop" only.

    And even if it proves harmless for home users, what about a company that, suddenly, loses communications with a whole country? Or city? Or neighborhood? or ISP? (obviously depending on the company, ISP, and whatnot)

    One or two hops could be enough.

    I'd say that, if this vulnerability is confirmed, a lot of damage will be done. Even with all the mitigating factors mentioned in the thread.

  18. Re:They might have missed a small detail on New Denial-of-Service Attack Is a Killer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It reaches you in that no one else can see you on the Internet. If all routes are down, you can't communicate. Done, denial of service at its best, even if no packet ever reaches your interface.

    That, still assuming that all of this is true.

    I can confirm it kinda works with WindowsXP and Firefox3. It copies "http://www.evil.com/" to the clipboard, but a simple Ctrl+C anywhere else after closing the tab (only the tab) overwrites it.
