On their best day, Slashdot readers would think of cell phone towers. I don't think there are any days this rabble would be intelligent enough to realize that any species or members of humanity from a time traveling society wouldn't need towers for their communication devices. Or would have very rapid means of deploying them from relatively small devices.
Slashdot reminds me of ignorant atheists who attack creationism on the same logical level that creationists attack atheism on.
Ah, right. But while they have all of that, they'd still need to press the thing against their ear, right?
Actually if one reads the link you will see that Slashdot is at it again. They are touch screen systems. If you keep your finger on them to long you end up with double picking. This is a coding error. They just need to change the select from touch begin to touch end and maybe add a next button to take you to the next screen. In other words it is a UI error and not some great evil conspiracy.
Okay Slashdot please stop using the FOX News and the Daily Workers guide to ethical journalism when writing the summaries!
I really miss the old good days, where talks on security conferences would blow you away, and where people would actually talk about new security related things, rather than showing 76th way of automating a process/procedure that has been known for 10 years (always involving grabbing [flavor of the month service]'s password).
Oh well, guess people were in security world for different reasons 10 years ago...
It may be that a Linux network is able to conduct trades faster than a windows one. I'd be willing to be though that most of this dramatic speed increase is down to new hardware. The windows network the LSE was on was what... 4+ years old?
It is obvious that you've been following this, and that you are aware of the history of the project.
Ah, you have no idea what you're talking about? Never mind, don't let that stop you from making yourself look like a retard.
(Hint: Microsoft/Accenture implementation was rolled out on the newest hardware at the time, and was slower than pretty much everyone else, when project went live)
It's too bad Wikileaks has such an obvious agenda. I like the idea of them, but that the same time, knowing they have such a clear agenda, makes me wonder what they decide not to release because it doesn't flow with what they want the world to think.
US killed 100,000 people.
What fucking agendas are you talking about, you piece of shit?
The only thing keeping it alive is China. And the only reason we don't liberate North Korea is that it would cause a shooting war with China, which, if it were democratic, would join with us.
What the fuck?
You think you have the right to 'liberate' someone? Like you 'liberated' Iraq?
And in 10-20 years time, you'll still keep wondering "Why everyone hates us?".
It's because of retards like yourself, who think that they are entitled to dictate what others should do, or how they should behave, all in the name of 'democracy'.
So a Chinese man is kept in prison purely because his opinions disagree with the government and he gets a Nobel prize and now the government will censor your website, email and even deactivate your cellphone if you as much as mention his name. If they really don't care they most definitely should.
Still better than holding someone in Guantanamo because his/her views differ from US government views...
In 2007, Harris Interactive surveyed 489 randomly selected members of either the American Meteorological Society or the American Geophysical Union for the Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) at George Mason University. The survey found 97% agreed that global temperatures have increased during the past 100 years; 84% say they personally believe human-induced warming is occurring, and 74% agree that "currently available scientific evidence" substantiates its occurrence. Only 5% believe that that human activity does not contribute to greenhouse warming; and 84% believe global climate change poses a moderate to very great danger.[98] [99]
You give a title "Back to actual Science...", and then you quote a Wikipedia article that talks about random percentages.
Also, I'll always rather listen to 2 people from Oxford and Cambridge, than 489 randomly selected 'members' of random American societies and organizations, who mostly "agree" and "believe", and are a part of a survey. Seems like surveys and polls are new scientific experiments.
Science was never about survey/poll percentages, you stupid fuck.
Iran is not a completely crazy country. Sure, the leadership is run by corrupt figures who use religious zealotry to organize the poor in order to remain in power, but that's no different than many Western countries. But many Iranians are middle class kinds of people, not the raving lunatics who want to nuke the rest of the world like they portray on TV. It's certainly possible that if the current leaders were to stumble on the national stage that the poor might see them for who they are, and violently remove them from power.
Wow. This sounds like you live in Iran, since you know so much.
You do live in Iran, don't you?
I mean, you've at least been to Iran once, haven't you?
Yea, except when China detains you they throw you in the Laogai (Chinese gulag - forced labor prison) and harvests your organs to sell to rich westerners whose children are dying of non-functioning organs for which there is normally a giant waiting list.
And, keep in mind, China does that if you are nothing more than a political opponent, dissenter, or critic. Your fair trial consists of, "You are guilty."
When the U.S. (wrongly) detained the friend of Assange, leader of WikiLeaks, earlier this year they had to let him go. Our laws have been designed to protect human rights from abuse by even our own government. You can't say the same thing about the Chinese.
I hate to admit it, but I still love buying cheap crap from them, though.
I'm sort of afraid to post this comment now. *breathes deeply and pressing the submit button*
Your country has been kidnapping people around the world, and organized torture (and since it didn't happen in the US, it's okay, right)?
You're no different than China. I don't like either of you.
2. 64bit hardware is cheap. You can buy an AMD64 X2 5000 Dual Core CPU for 38 bucks shipped.. add a mobo for another 45 and if you need ram, another 50. eBay for more savings.
Frankly, while I find the idea of burning any book abhorrent I think that spitting in the face of these radicals of Islam is more important than not. Either bring your religion to 21st century and join the rest of us or shut the hell up.
So, you reckon they should start abusing/molesting kids, instead of what it is they're doing now?
We're 21st century just on the paper. Not in heads.
I'm not convinced the EU did this for good reasons, or for their OWN corporate overlords (like they did when they sued Microsoft in order to protect the EU-based Opera).
EU sued Microsoft in order to protect Opera?
Whatever it is you are smoking, I'd like some. Thank you.
He has a masters degree in systems technology and another in physics, according to his biography, in addition to an MBA and a BS undergrad, plus lots of experience in intelligence and counter-intelligence, including in active combat scenarios, according to his biography. I suspect he's probably more "technical" than a large swath of people here, not to mention the general public. Just because he says folks doesn't mean his 'non-technical', so stfu.
No "technical" person would ever say such a stupid thing, like "US must secure the Internet".
I know quite few people with lots of degrees and shit, but they're still dumb as a brick.
Sony makes consoles for gamers, not geeks who want cheap processing power. They need you to buy games for that piece of hardware to make some profit, that's why they try to crush any other use for it.
The rest of the PS3 owners bought it to play games, so when some obscure option that less than one percent users even tried, it's no surprise no one cares.
One user said that the hack can be used for something else other than pirating? Well what is it? Another said that you can buy an old version and play pirated games with it, all under 200 USD. The best games are online multiplayer. If you want to pirate games, then the Xbox is cheaper and easier to use.
I don't get it. When did they manage to turn so many people into fucking droids, that just keep repeating same youre-all-pirates memes, and don't seem to have any brains left?
First of all, this is just used for pirating purposes. In fact that's the only thing the hack allows, so drop the homebrew bullshit.
Secondly, Sony has lost the PS3 hacking war? These hacks are fully detectable by PS3 and Sony. Those who have used them have already been banned from PSN and multiplayer games. What a great way to ruin your expensive console.
I feel it's really cold in your little dark world...
You sir are a clueless cretin if you actually believe this dongle wouldn't be on sales had it not been for Sony removing OtherOS.
This dongle is for piracy, nothing else....
Simple as that, it does not allow you to boot Linux, and has no legitimate purpose. The backup excuse does not wash either, as Blu-Ray disks are not scratchable like DVD is.
You can eat a dick. You don't tell me what the fuck I do with my console, that I paid with my own money. If I want to fucking burn it, I will. If I want to insert a PSJailbreak in it, I will.
And you go and fuck yourself, along with your "I know what's best for you" logic.
You guys really need to get some perspective and soda. You REALLY need to realize that not everyone drools over Linux the same way you guys do, there are in fact people in the world who do this for practical reasons. Not just so the can have a white on black text console on their TV screen which their uneducated friends find impressive.
Yeah, some people drool over ability to find MD5 collision on network of PS3s. One of the greatest security related things in this decade, that resulted in obtaining a valid CA cert. They must be pirates too. Or maybe you're just too dumb to realize that there is shitload of people drooling over running Linux (because Linux is easily accessible) on anything they can get their hands on? It is FUN. I know it's hard for you to understand, but other people are not you. I mean, you realize that various modern TVs, for example, are running on Linux, and there are people out there who will eventually get their own Linux 'distro' on their TV? Just because they want/can?
I am amazed how many idiots think they know something about what people do with their hardware, or why. And they still feel like anyone needs their input. Sigh...

I'm curious why we've not seen any releases of Russian actions in Chechnya, by these folks.
Maybe because Chechenya is part of Russia, and as such is not nearly as interesting as a bunch of trigger happy yanks invading a sovereign nation?
It's too bad Wikileaks has such an obvious agenda. I like the idea of them, but that the same time, knowing they have such a clear agenda, makes me wonder what they decide not to release because it doesn't flow with what they want the world to think.

Take a look at the current Slashdot poll: most folks would like to travel back in time to invest in something.
So Zuckerberg has good company, even among Slashdot folks. Pretty sad, actually.
Yeah, but you don't see them spewing shit like Zuckerberg, in front of a camera, do you?

I wonder if all those geniuses have a business plan for when they remain without customers, because they've disconnected them all?
"Exploit"? What, exactly, he "exploited"?
Hey, look at an "exploit" that makes shit posts, and has no value in relation to security whatsoever.
But yeah, he has a great career ahead of him, and he's next security wizard?
No wonder everyone left security industry, and you're left with monkeys interested in Twitter/Facebook only...

Something that so few care about hardly "ruins" a console.
It ruins it for them, no?
Oh, I see. If it doesn't affect you, than it's not important. If it doesn't affect 'majority', that it's not important either.
