  1. Re:Good. on Y2.01K · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure this is true for at least the F-117.

  2. Re:idiocy? Incompetence? on Y2.01K · · Score: 1

    I would go so far as to frame it in terms of csv being a convention rather than a format.

  3. Re:They may have solved the puzzle... on China Faces Piracy Suit Over Censorship Software · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sure seems like there is a fair chance of it.

  4. Re:Why? on Slovak Police Planted Explosives On Air Travelers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Doesn't that ruin most drugs?

  5. Re:Climate change is a security threat on CIA Teams Up With Scientists To Monitor Climate · · Score: 1

    All you jokers in Florida better hope they aren't working out of North Dakota.

    Ah.

  7. Re:Why? on Bringing Free Television To Phones In America · · Score: 1

    Or T-Mobile (they sell a couple of $20 prepaid phones and a few others that are less than $50).

  8. Re:Verizon in Spring on Google's Nexus One Phone Launches · · Score: 1

    Do you think there is much demand?

    I can see business users being interested, but not all that many of them.

  9. Re:US Airports suck for security on Fixing Security Issue Isn't Always the Right Answer · · Score: 2, Informative

    He didn't say it would be hard to fix, he said it probably isn't worth spending loads of money on a small problem.

  10. Re:Insider on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    So if Joe Breacher walks out of the company with a hardware encrypted flash drive, the data is more secure than if he walks out of the company with an unencrypted drive?

    I don't see it.

  11. Re:backdoor on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    The NSA probably wouldn't be quite so blatant.

  12. Re:Article title misleading... on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 5, Funny

    At least they used an industry standard for the key.

  13. Re:Shouldn't trust the host computer AT ALL on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    What exactly do you mean by trust? Should there be fuses in case the host machine attempts to fry it, or should it run on batteries, or what (the digression into power isn't the point, the fact that trust implies many meanings is the point)?

    This implementation was completely borked, but I don't see what problem there is with something like a truecrypt volume on the drive, that the user decrypts using software running on the host computer. That doesn't protect the user from an untrusted machine, but nothing can.

  14. Re:If it's available it's fair game on Does Cheap Tech Undermine Legal Privacy Protections? · · Score: 1

    Phone taps generally require a warrant, and I don't think that police engage in a great deal of home surveillance using helicopters.

  15. Re:Price and Prevalence Shouldn't Effect Legality on Does Cheap Tech Undermine Legal Privacy Protections? · · Score: 1

    Your argument would read better if you just listed the danger inherent in surveillance technology, rather than comparing it to something-go-boom.

  16. Re:Scanning ethics on Does Cheap Tech Undermine Legal Privacy Protections? · · Score: 1

    They probably also either block visible light, or are not as sensitive to it. And they probably have better sensitivity to thermal signals.

  17. Re:Simple solution on Adobe Security Chief Defends JavaScript Support · · Score: 2, Informative

    Off is actually equivalent to block but ask. There are some (probably safe) scripted pdfs here if you want to clicky-clicky:

  18. Re:meh on Kurzweil Takes On Kindle With "Blio" E-Reader · · Score: 1

    Cd-rom encyclopedias were replaced by fast enough internet.

  19. Re:Is this new? on Kurzweil Takes On Kindle With "Blio" E-Reader · · Score: 1

    It's terrible. For all the format lock-in and 'do it our way' built into it, Microsoft Reader pretty much blows everything else I have tried out of the water (for reading on a PC).

    The, as I call it 'do it our way' is probably responsible for most of what I like about it, of course, it is also probably responsible for most of what I don't like.

  20. Re:Great Idea shame it will fail though on Kurzweil Takes On Kindle With "Blio" E-Reader · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Kindle DRM scheme has been broken for months. Publishers don't seem to care (much).

  21. Re:TLDR version on Testing a Pre-Release, Parallel Firefox · · Score: 1

    From what I have seen, they often recommend doing heavy processing in a separate thread, to avoid locking up the ui.

  22. Re:Calm before the storm? on Android Phone Demand Up 250%, iPhone Down · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    How many more top level comments (with next to zero content) are you going to make?

    We all get that you love Apple sooooo much.
