  1. Re:Spot the Fed... on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 1

    Perhaps not quite what I was wondering. It would be no trick to finger another fed if you knew who they all were. How many people are mistakenly spotted as feds?

  2. Re:AirPwn on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 1

    As a fallback defence at the con, drop "goax.cx 127.0.0.1" into hosts. Then have a local web server that has a cute kitty picture as /hello.jpg. (Either that or a "gotcha sucker!" graphic for when they swing in to take a picture. But don't expect to catch them with that twice.)

  3. Re:Spot the Fed... on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the feds really know who all the feds are? Share the paranoia! ;^)

  4. Re:Wall of Sheep on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 1

    I'd start a Wall of Black Sheep list. I'd leak a password in the clear or lightly encrypted, then list everyone who tried it. Maybe they could have a Penalty Box at the con for people who got caught?

  5. Spot the Fed error on DEFCON 12 - After the Hangover · · Score: 5, Funny
    The feds that are "caught" take everything in stride and everyone has a good laugh. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
    Obviously this breaks some sort of natural law.

    It's shiny, it's her birthday and she wantss it, yesss my precious.

  7. Re:Katie.com on The Saga of Katie.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    She could check with the Faroe Islands to see if tarbox.fo is available then redirect to that. (Strangely there doesn't seem to be a .fu TLD.)

  8. Re:Wizard of SCO on SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    When I hear Darl's name, I always think of wizz. (And Lord Byron's thoughts on the subject.)

  9. Re:So Many Things wrong with this Picture on SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He didn't reveal that they have such information, he claimed they have it--just like ownership of UNIX, BIGNUM lines of infringing code, etc. Certainly no one would ever accuse Darl of actually releasing information. ;)

  10. Re:Thatcherism across time and space on Dr Who, Daleks Kiss And Make Up · · Score: 1

    Watch the Daleks wake up the next morning to find themselves stripped and up on blocks.

  11. Re:ZX Spectrum/Timex upgrade on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 1

    And just think of the horizontal totem-pole of modules in a line that would plug 1GB into the back of the ZX! Working with 256Kx1 DRAMs, that would be .. a lot.

  12. Re:Hard Drives-The chronicles of "Dick". on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then again, IBM used to call them Fixed Drives. What was that about children?

  13. Re:An alternative solution. on ESA To Study Human Hibernation · · Score: 1

    I don't see why not. They already seem to be piloting major corporations.

  14. Re:Oxymoronic Priest Quote on Blackhat/Defcon Report · · Score: 1
    Civil disobedience is, by definition, illegal. That's the whole point of it.

    Not always to start with. A group of people staging a sit-down isn't initially illegal (your police state may vary). Of course when ordered to move along or asked for papers please, and they don't, then it peacefully drifts over the line.

  15. Re:About one of the articles posted... on Blackhat/Defcon Report · · Score: 1

    How many times are you going to repost that same text? If you'd spent more time RTFA, you'd see that the panel was over, and they took him out the back way to defuse a situation. (Regardless of his safety, it was getting in the way of setting up the next panel.)

    Ahhh, so this is a show about politics? ;)

  17. Re:The hack I'd like to see on High Definition TiVo Bash Software Hack Claimed · · Score: 1

    Is Jeopardy one of those islands that people get kicked off of each week?

  18. The hack I'd like to see on High Definition TiVo Bash Software Hack Claimed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Skipping commercials is nice, but I'd like a hack to allow a TiVo to record and show good programs. "I wish my television had a control to adjust the intelligence level. I tried the control marked 'brightness', but it didn't help at all."

  19. Re:Finance Transfer Protocol? on How Google Will Have Achieved The Semantic Web · · Score: 1

    In pure communism, there wouldn't be anything to transfer. In most applied communism there wouldn't be anything left to transfer. ;P

  20. Re:If it is so good, then why... on Primer · · Score: 2, Funny

    All the low votes are from the same guy. He keeps looping back in time and voting again. It's probably that TimeCube guy.

    I have a protocol which sends data in Morse code by short and long delays in accessing the same web page over and over again. ;)

    For what values of easily? (i.e. UDP or TCP?)

  24. Re:TCP or UDP on Network Attacks Via DNS · · Score: 1

    I cringe when someone proposes bolting their latest P2P or broadcast hack to DNS every week. Willy-nilly adding extensions to working protocols is almost always a bad idea. It's like giving Murphy a free kick.

  25. Re:"Annoyances"? on D Squared To Stop Sending Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    These people should be court-ordered to leave their DCOM port open to the Internet:
