  1. Clinton carried the large towns on Diebold Voter Fraud Rumors in New Hampshire Primaries · · Score: 1

    Look at the stats, in the (perhaps 1) large town that was hand counted, Clinton beat Obama 44%-31%. If she carried other large towns similarly, why are the overall results so hard to believe? You can read these stats any way you want by looking at just the portions that make your case. Elections are the food that conspiracy theorists live by.

  2. My prefered browser on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 1

    echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\n" | nc www.cybertriallawyer.com 80

    Does that make echo and netcat circumvention devices according to the DMCA?

  3. Mystery solved on Eight PS3 'Supercomputer' Ponders Gravity Waves · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now we know who bought all the PS3s!

  4. Re:Johnny Cache is wrong? on Apple Patches Wireless Drivers · · Score: 0

    Please learn to read and comprehend before you bad mouth someone. The Centrino race condition bug that Ellch describes has absolutely nothing to do with the Mac issue. You apparently missed this sentence: "Why am I switching the subject from Apple's bug to intel's? Because it's patched, and Secureworks has no influence over what I say regarding this one." Note 1) two different bugs one Apple's, and one Intel's 2) he states that the Intel one is already patched and he is providing details.

  6. squid + dansguardian on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    http://www.squid-cache.org/

    Both highly configurable.

    However, speaking from personal experience, I would be more concerned with chat.

  7. Borland Reflex on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    I still fire up Reflex in a DOS windows once in a while to access some old flight log data (~14 years old)

  8. Deny them DNS services on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think this was one of the approaches Stanford was going to take. No DNS for your machine until you get it checked out by their IT department.

  9. Satellite is broadcast on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    Force the television manufacturers to build satellite decoders into televisions instead of UHF/VHF receivers. A satellite dish is cheap, and for people that don't want to subscribe, the satellite companies simply provide free access to 3 or 4 local channels. In fact the TV should come configured this way and then you can call a satellite provider if you actually want to pay money for more channels.

  10. Runtime Decompression?? on OpenBSD Gets Even More Secure · · Score: 1

    Will W^X disable all runtime decrypting/decompressing binaries? It seems to me that these features prevent burneye and/or UPX style binaries. Thoughts?

  11. MS Foe to MS Savior on SCO Threatens to Press IP Claims on Linux -$99/cpu · · Score: 1

    Seems to me like this would be the biggest boost one could hope to provide to MS. I suppose, being a lawyer, Daivd Boies only cares about the money.

  12. Free/Low cost certs on Cheap SSL Certificates for Small Websites? · · Score: 1

  13. Re:About the binary on The Reverse Challenge: Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    It is unlikely that he made a mistake as he makes no effort to setup UDP header fields in his protocol 11 packets. Changing the protocol to UDP in his program would result in all of his message packets having bad UDP checksums and lengths.

  14. About the binary on The Reverse Challenge: Winners Announced · · Score: 5, Informative

    I participated in the contest, and to answer a few questions:

    1) Protocol 11 is used in this tool simply as a messaging protocol. No attempt was made by the author to adhere to the published NVP RFC. The author simply sticks 11 in the protocol field of the IP header. Think of each packet as a UDP packet, no handshake, etc...

    2) Protocol 11 is not used to perform any of the DoS attacks. The attacks are fairly standard DoS attacks like TCP SYN, and ICMP echo floods.

    3) Protocol 11 get through many firewalls because sysadmins only set up rules to block unwanted TCP, UDP, and ICMP packets.

    4) Single incoming protocol 11 packets are used to trigger compromised hosts to perform selected DoS attacks

    I hope that helps

  15. Job's Borg on Apple Threatens Open Source Theme Project · · Score: 1

    >Its just so dumb I don't know how to respond. Gee, why don't you just create a Job's Borg icon to replace that cute little Apple. Or is this behavior not sufficiently MSFT like to warrent such drastic action.

  16. One bitch of a passport stamp on Lunar Landing Historical Site? · · Score: 1

    That's gonna be one tough stamp to get in my National Park's Passport! I wonder how much the NPS will spend to build a restroom up there?
