PS3 Root Key Found
·
· Score: 5, Informative
Despite all the people claiming this is a dupe, it isn't. This is getting the PSP private key from inside the PS3.
They put the PSP private key on the PS3, presumably so you could buy games for your PSP through the PS3 and have the PS3 do all the heavy crypto work instead of encrypting it on the store end.
Presumably, they figured "hey, the PS3 is unhackable, it is OK to embed the super secret key to PSP software in it". But then the PS3 got hacked.
It's bad enough when the government is stealing domain names, but if copyright trolls start doing it too, I want to move my domain names to someplace safer.
Is there such a place, or should I just look into.cn addresses?
You write the USB drivers to not send anything out the USB port that isn't whether or not to turn on the CAPS light on the keyboard.
Hrm... I've got this macro that blinks the caps light according to a text file and I've got this photodetector on a chip that stores the readings in a tiny amount of flash, only 128 megs, paltry amount.
The major question here is that now that you've dispensed with the existence of a "soul," you're left with the part where you copied your mind to "continue living" and yet all logic says that your personal experience with consciousness ends (you die) and there is another life form that now believes it is you (due to memories and the like).
How do you know this doesn't happen every time you go to sleep? Your stream of consciousness is interrupted, for all you know aliens are swapping out your meat processor every night.
If you fall asleep in a hospital, senile from old age, then wake up to a doctor saying you just came out of a coma and it is the future so they fixed you using "new medical techniques", would you freak out if you found out it involved a machine eating your brain neuron by neuron and shitting out a fresh cells with identical properties?
How is that different from brain cells dying and being replaced by new ones and how is that different than having the machine spit out circuits that also act identically?
We could personally observe macro-evolution/speciation? More realistically, people might stop caring about this quarter's returns and think a little longer term.
Projects that don't get started or finished, because nobody can follow them all the way through, will be accomplished by somebody with an 80 year attention span. Projects that require large amounts of multidisciplinary knowledge will also be more possible when somebody can live long enough to say "Hi, I've got a PhD in damn near everything".
And if the lack of that constraint makes life less worth living, then we won't have quite as much an overpopulation problem, people will off themselves out of sadness or boredom.
The real downside is that copyright terms will be even more ridiculous.
What I want to know is why they don't do what scanners in Europe do: show a generic body and pick out the areas to search with yellow dots, scaled to fit.
No naked photos and you can have the screen right next to the scanner. Sure, it isn't obvious what caused the dot, but you just ask the person what's there and pat them down if they say "nothing".
Took less time than getting wanded and they didn't have to give people a full body fondle.
Having just recently moved a bunch of people from Office 03 to Office 2010, we might as well have switched to OO.
Sure, macros and keyboard shortcuts still work, but people keep asking me where stuff has moved. And some features are plain not there anymore, like printing a selection of an email from inside outlook(without opening the email in a browser or pasting it into something else first).
Let them keep it, as long as they stay the hell away from IPs. Many of us already use a manual host file or local DNS to blacklist, just as easy to add the "correct" entries back in.
They only had to choose the larger of two symbols(either mathamatically larger or physically larger, depending on the phase) and also to position a symbol on a line proportional to it's numerical value(ie, the "5" symbol goes in the middle).
At no point were they asked to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. They didn't even have a symbol for 0, only 1 through 9.
Oh, and just to encourage somebody else to screw up their brain instead of myself: Anode goes on your right parietal lobe to get the "beneficial" effect.
Yes, I just read the actual paper and this barely had anything to do with math. It could have easily been phrased as "more quickly learn which unknown letter is earlier or later in the alphabet".
This only improved their learning, pattern recognition, or maybe their "comparative/sorting" abilities.
While the latter(ordering symbols) is sort of useful for math, this didn't show the subjects could add up the cost of a meal and figure the tip any better than before, let alone learn calculus.
It seems like it doesn't penetrate very well and is better suited to finding spare change instead of explosives buried under the fold of a beer belly. You occasionally see shin bones or lungs, but nearly everything else below the skin is too diffused to see. And it doesn't work on shoes, either.
I personally don't mind, especially the ones that display a generic image instead of the actual image, I just think it is a waste of resources.
That was the image the security staff was using to search passengers. The machine may have recorded more than that, but there weren't any other displays or workstations.
The scanners must be designed in such a way that it is physically impossible to get anything APPROACHING a nude picture of the person, and physically impossible to see anything that would constitute private medical information as well.
Actually, the last scanner I went through(outside the US) already did this. It used a generic picture and scaled the results to match, only picking out objects as yellow dots.
The screen was right next to the seating area, so I watched 25 or 30 people go through. Same image every time.
One guy with a plate in his shoulder showed up as a huge yellow dot and got felt up a bunch. Another guy had some pins in his ankle, just showed the guy his scars.
And none of us had to take off our shoes. Silly, but that makes me prefer these scanners over non-specific/non-locating metal detectors.
Seriously, a couple thousand dead from this is zilch. You want real scary? Use that "technological prowess" to screw up food transport from rural areas to cities for a month. Or just use the trillion dollars we owe them to corner the agricultural futures market for a month.
Something like 200 million Americans live in cities and after a month of no or little supply most would either be dead or cannibals.

But where can I buy these cheap lighting systems? If they're cheap enough for a yurt, I can probably get a payment plan.

Clearly, I could not break security with this.

Hrm. Time no longer being a constraint.

That might save his hide(probably not, though), but the person that becomes the head of Wikileaks after him will be targeted, too.
He may look like an attention hungry egotist for not stepping aside, but jumping ship to let the next person get smeared would be cowardly.

of textfiles.com is more of a "digital archeologist" than this wanker, because he might have all that stuff you posted to BBSs back in the 70s/80s.
Plus, he's got an awesome speech on the history of electronic porn, going back to tickertape machines and ham radio(think about that).

Now when we run out of indium-tin oxide(or the chinese just stop selling it to us), we can still make LCDs, OLEDs, and EL wire.

There are lots of shows doing this already, putting out regular(if not weekly) shows and then sharing ad revenue on Youtube.

HP just developed an implementation in the last year.
It will take them a couple years to get a production line going, then a few more years before it starts showing up in products.
Um, the electron-volt(eV)?
I suppose you could use a reference electron, but any old electron will do.

That's scary.
