I somehow doubt they get completely removed to never be accessed again. Just like if your acquired the case paperwork is never thrown out and your legal record now shows an acquittal (accessible to legal but not public).
Agreed, the point of a tablet or ipad is portability, most places I use my tablet, I can't comfortably use a mouse or keyboard, further when I can... I also have a laptop? They're great features, but defeat the purpose these devices are to offer. Laptops have been around for ages, why reinvent the wheel at 10% power? (comparing a slate to an m15x)
They said it... disaffected youth, why is the public so angry at the police that it spills over into riots?
Not being from the UK, but I believe the police over there have more liberties with people, which opens up their ability to harass people, while police in the US can be dicks, we're talking about ALL of the police in the UK.
Haha, totally, Torchlight was a fun game, they released it for $20... it was repetitive but fun and short and easily expandable. Most games cost 10x to make though, those game designers aren't as friendly towards it.
This does open up potential for a scenario where everybody wins and thats online/offline based games that are free offline and pay to play online. If you like the game, play the story and go online if u want more. Everybody will pick 2-3 games and rotate to new ones and expansions of those games with time and availability. The problem is... the gamer actually wins here with choice, not acceptable for those similar to the RIAA. They want u to pay $50, not like it, not return it, and put it on the shelf as an overpriced dust catcher, and thus u have 20k seeds on torrents (easier on the pocket, try before you buy (but why bother now?), and the harddrive will take up just as much room physically).
SSH is a lot more common than openvpn, I would imagine flying under the radar is a lot more effective, on that note I use VPN all the time to gain access to an entire network and it is a lot better than sshing into every single server as well as more secure.
Also SSH tunnels offer better performance IMO sometimes by a lot. Remember a lot of people don't use TOR because it's slower than a 56k sometimes. I've never seen VPN achieve super speeds anywhere based on the nature of the technology and the extra layers and handshakes.
I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning this, if your tech savvy and know basic networking or are willing to learn (this is scalable learning) this is by far THE best way to set up a bypass of your country's firewall.
Protip: don't register the foreign server under your name, send bills to a PO box or w/e you have similar. Don't let the server be affiliated back to you easily. If your going to do down, all they should have is that you connected to a random server at set time intervals with heavy encrypted traffic and your regular web traffic was light (also ez to fix). Of course u can't have anything compromising on your computer either (linux goes 10 miles here), encryption is not the solve all, just use the server and encrypt that, of course. What I can't vouch for is if the country in question really care's, they're already tyrannical in their implementation of a firewall, why would they bother to get proof?
All of the above is just theory and is untested under fire, if my internet was being censored though, I'd try to find a way around it.
So... let's see to sum this up: 12 year olds traveling with science projects are terrorists?
At what point do you go... "ok I don't really know what an IED is cause I've never seen one, the people that make them, make me piss my pants in 30 seconds or less cause I'm an overempowered baggage handler. cause I'm a glorified baggage handler, this looks like an IED, but wait it's a 12 year old kid, maybe I should exercise restraint?"
What it comes down to is who held the last smoking gun, China got caught once or twice, didn't defend itself too well, and now everybody can just assume it's them. IMHO it probably is, they seem to have their IT down better than the rest of the world including the US, I mean they censored like 1/3 of the world's population from the internet and are seemingly keeping on top of their filters.
What China has to realize though is how long standing public image is, and how much it will mess with them in the future. They are slowly creating spite against themselves, but... they are just following in US footsteps, everybody already hates us, and non-conspiracy based 9/11 wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for our public image, and a decade later we're still at war.
I am still scratching my head as to how these machines are exactly web facing so that they could be remotely exploited? I have a hard time picturing a robotic arm with a web interface to control it. It would be more be a custom application on an embedded system. Did I mention embedded systems? They're a bit different from windows based systems on most occasions. Dunno, really can't follow the logic here, the only that should face the web should be non-employee based consumer websites for a business, maybe VPN if the execs understand whats at stake.
If the system needs to communicate with another system over the network, thats why we make subnets and dedicated ports... dedicated switches to take it a step further.
Seriously what's the big deal with getting targeted advertising or your browsing habits being part of a 8 figure calculation of web trends. I really don't care if google wants to try and sell me a vacuum after i spent a week shopping for one online, I don't think I even notice the ads. On the note add-ons to every major browser will block 99% of ads on the internet. Things like noscript and grease monkey take it to a whole new level to where it may even become a lot harder to track you.
On the other hand, if your going to illegal/controversial websites, non of this applies to you cause your using a proxy (at least) right?:)
TCP Encryption seems to be some of what the article is pointing at (who has time to read this theoretical white paper?) which I think is great. It's kind of implemented with https over SSL, but it's left up to the website owner to implement it at the cost of system performance.
Factor in extending TCP, I'd like to see the private / public key system implemented in TCP as a standard, rather than an overlay. There is no benevolent reason to anybody that an ISP should be monitoring their traffic (they aren't trying to speed up your network rofl). Thus, since we need to keep the internet free, etc... if all traffic was encrypted, even if it was decrypt able with gpu computing, it would still be a major step forward.
The problem lies not in the theory though, but the implementation, would be difficult to do without at least browser upgrades.
All your doing is making it worse for you and your co-workers. My servers go down at 1 am and i'm not working on them thus its not my fault? I wake up shower, shave, and then come in to work, bring up the servers and boom, god status. I'm not going to ever do work for people I don't care about if they won't appreciate it. The best way I can put it is a job's a job, not your life, if it's your life, you better be rich. If they fire you for not working at 1 am in the morning, you really don't want to work at a place like that.
On that note, once you do it a few times ( get up at 1 am to bring stuff up) that becomes the expectation of ignorant suites and your stuck.
Welcome to corporate politics young padawan, IT can play too.
This is more like it, could a possible backdoor into IOS have been discovered? It seems that something like this would have come to surface a whole lot sooner...
was this a problem with earlier IOS is the interesting part.
So I can't use a smart phone cause the NSA will track me?
Why can't my GPS be RSA encrypted?
Who controls the GPS?
It's relevant because next suddenly the button to toggle my GPS gets removed and the absolute worst thing I have to fear there is reduced battery life right??:)
The difference between hacking and warfare is the former requires out side the box thinking and creativity. Find me a US general with just one of those traits. Army culture is the exact opposite, not a stereotype.
is that we buy expensive equalizers to fix this and make it sound good again. It sucks because you could "clean" the music using programs, but then it's not longer the "original". Probably why people still listen to old pink floyd live albums.
The magic pill is called pre-configuration, AV software is reactionary, which is why most people think they are 1000% more secure than they are. AV doesn't stop 0 day exploits or social engineering. Education and best practices however do.
THE CDC exists because the consequence of not stopping an outbreak is a massive decline in the human population, such as during the plague in Europe. Malware infects computers because most IT departments are under staffed with no security budget, or sufficient knowledge.
Also, lets define what a break in is, a DDOS attack launched by anonymous IS NOT a break in, it's just merely exactly what it states and thats no service. So DDOSing a place like lockheed doesn't get you anything besides an arrest warrant. But Lock Heed is filthy rich, we can't all be that way, so maybe we need something else...
How about security certs? BBB ensures quality service from their businesses through membership. Why not have a ranking system for how strong your security system is. Say I don't want to give me SSN to a C ranked company over the web, but I have no problem with A.
The point being we can handle this w/o the government and be all the better for it.

I thought there were anti-cheating mechanisms in place in all major online games.
One mechanism would be to block N. Korea's country IP range and issue an advisory notice.
How come?

Maybe in windows....
But in linux/unix...

In the end the server has to generate the keys, otherwise how do you know who the client is? or for non-clients to spoof?
PGP seems faster than https though, but https is doing more that causes the overhead.

Welcome to corporate politics young padawan, IT can play too.
All I'm seeing is a bunch of sexist virgin nerd posts :)
No female comments or point of view in almost 100 comments.
Goes to show... the only women in IT and on the internet are 40 year single old men with issues.
They'll be remaking them in 3d shortly as the same story, different movie.
Who's watching these movies? The kids, or... the nostalgic parents?
This is more like it, could a possible backdoor into IOS have been discovered? It seems that something like this would have come to surface a whole lot sooner...
was this a problem with earlier IOS is the interesting part.
that's not what MAC filtering is used for nor would it fix the problem. Sit down.
Clearly they should fund the R&D and speaker replacements to remedy this problem and ensure we are hearing their artists at optimal sound quality :P
So I can't use a smart phone cause the NSA will track me?
Why can't my GPS be RSA encrypted?
Who controls the GPS?
It's relevant because next suddenly the button to toggle my GPS gets removed and the absolute worst thing I have to fear there is reduced battery life right?? :)

If we've never found it? I'm sure the theory is provable, but this is wayyyy too premature to care.
The magic pill is called pre-configuration, AV software is reactionary, which is why most people think they are 1000% more secure than they are. AV doesn't stop 0 day exploits or social engineering. Education and best practices however do.
