  1. Re:Study on 'Anonymized' Credit Card Data Not So Anonymous, MIT Study Shows · · Score: 1

    I believe this is the study in question.

  2. Re:Lacking faith in the currency? on Bitcoin Kiosks Coming To 5 Canadian Cities · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you read the article linked, you will know that these machines will both sell and BUY bitcoins.

  3. Re:The Catch on Hackers Claim $10K Prize For StrongWebmail Breakin · · Score: 1

    I'm no hacker but if you already have access to their systems then wouldn't it be easier to just change the phone number to one you control than to intercept a phone call or some such. Just a thought.

  4. Personal Homepage on What Do You Do With a Personal Domain? · · Score: 1

    I made a simple homepage for myself with links to sites I visit frequently, a search bar and a weather widget.

  5. See it in action on Canadian DMCA Bill Withdrawn · · Score: 1

    It seems Charlie Angus's constituents got their message through. He is the NDP MP for Timmins/James Bay. The Facebook comment is especially good.

  6. A slightly different take on HMV Canada Cuts Music CD Prices · · Score: 2, Informative

    A similar article in the Globe and Mail points out that the 18-24 year olds aren't listening to the latest pop chart toppers but are instead "tuning in to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin - the music of their parents' generation", which is the reason for the back-catalogue price drops.

    In any case the article seems a bit more unbiased than the CBC/CRIA fud.

  7. USPTO Link on Amazon Sued Over Recommendation Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting
  8. Re:RTFA on BusinessWeek on Opening Apple's iTunes DRM · · Score: 5, Informative

    FairPlay is actually owned by Veridisc so it may not be up to Apple to choose who to licence it to (if at all).

  9. Re:Rock On! And A Question For The Community... on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 1

    Apple has just posted a Knowledge Base article on how to add your music to the iTMS.

    Check out http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=931 91 for more info.

  10. Rogers@home - Toronto on A Study on Regional DSL and Cable Speeds? · · Score: 1

    300KB/s down
    Usually pretty consistant. I get the best speeds on the movie trailors from apple.com's movie trailor page.

    45KB/s up
    The upstream seems to be capped in the modem. It will actually send at over 100KB/s for the first 2 seconds or so but then the router (modem) kicks in and caps the upstream bandwidth. I suppose this is for page requests and the like.
