  1. You forgot a very important segment on Mozilla SSL Policy Considered Bad For the Web · · Score: 1

    Phishers.

    If you don't see a warning for self signred certifcates I can make a ssl website identical to citibank and pound users up the ass.

    Stupid stupid article.

  2. The fact that EXACT COPIES of the basic brick ... on Inside the Lego Factory · · Score: 1

    .. Can and have been sold, and no one buys anything else even though they cost half as much pretty much explains why they are so expensive. Thier quality control is legendary. How many misformed or bad bricks have you run into?

    Still I wish they were free and I would make a house out of them.

  3. Merge with Android. on What Happened To Palm? · · Score: 1

    They need to merge all of thier linux oses with the android google phone and put out a few android phoes that run the old palm apps as well as the pretty google oes. And they should pray.

    Of course they could try to draw salaries and options and rn the whole thing into the groud, but that seems to be right where they are right now.

  4. Re:A way to check... on White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed · · Score: 1

    No doubt they would be classified as "Treat as top secret/SCI" The imaginary security designatin that lets cheyney do whatever the fuck he wants.

    Actually classifying the documents would preclude the use of the fucking internet mail servers that were used, and require a classified system with actual retention policies.

  5. if they put go codes on unclassified workstations. on White House Says Hard Drives Were Destroyed · · Score: 1

    Then they need to be prosecuted for misuse of official secrets.

    They used unclassified workstations to evade the law. The fact that they used these workstations instead of white house government resources is a sign that they knew the law and was attempting to evade it.

    Why is it that when the government taps our phones you say "There is no problem if you have nothing to hide.." but when elected and appointed officials in the executive branch refuse to disclose activities they performed as elected and appointed officials of the executive branch, it is no business but their own?

    The answer, is that you are a partisan,

    Hi Steve!

  7. No, hes right. on The National Cryptologic Museum · · Score: 1

    The Dirt road refered to is US Route 32, and in the 50s was a private, unmarked dirt and later paved military road. Untill the Puzzle Palace was released no one knew where the place was. Afterwords they put up signs.

  11. Huawei already does that. on Feds Seize $78M of Bogus Chinese Cisco Gear · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cisco has won an injunction that prohibits Huawei from selling routers in the US.

    The router code is identical down to the security bugs.

  12. Re:It was good for you. on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    The problem is that "Microsoft Experts" think that it currently only uses DNS, and when confronted with packet data, they get on the phone to microsoft untill the problem goes away. Combining this with the fact that Microsoft, as yet, has no operating system that can do DNSv6 makes me wait for a large heavy shoe to drop.

    Which would all just amuse me, but as usual, microsoft blames the network, management believes the people most like them ( project managers with only microsoft experience ) and the shit falls on the network engineers to fix active directory.

  13. Question... on Hans Reiser and the "Geek Defense" Strategy · · Score: 1

    About how many of your roommates stick around for more than one lease? It doesn't matter who steals the orange soda, if it disappears, one of my roomates is a dick. The one who argues about it for 15 minutes is a bigger dick, even if he didn't drink it.

    The last call on her home or cell phones was made from her cell phone from a supermarket on the day she dropped the kids off at Hans' house. This was 1 hour before the last time anyone saw her alive. At Hans' house. Hans has sated he had no contact with her since the moment she left his house, so he should have made up a call from a cell phone, but too late.

    Fry him.

  15. It was good for you. on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Now take a second to think about this....

    Windows active directory, when you take the time to watch the protocol usage, depends on name resolution for just about everything. I would have to say that 30-60% of the lookups still use WINS - netbios over tcp - name service. Plug that into IPv6 why don't you.

    About half of my time is spent convincing Microsoft Experts that it isn't the god damn network. I am eager to project these mistakes into an IPv6 future.

  16. Read the PDF please. on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Its written by Randy Bush. He knows something about internet routing. Then check and see if your core routers are actually doing IPv6 in ASICs. Don't ask the marketing rep or the account executive, ask someone who knows and can speak honestly.

  17. Please, read the PDF. on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    IPv6 only sites can not connect to ipV4 only sites. So The fact that China's universities have gone ipV6 just means that they are okay not talking to the world. Or they are NATing.

  18. Cisco's NAT code in 1998? on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Really? Thats what you are going with? That is what? IOS code 11.X ?

    Cisco IOS NAT has lagged behind the crappy residential home routers. They just did not drop the address port states fast enough.

    Besides the which, they were only mapping the external connection to source ( the external gateway ) destination port. which gave them 40,000 or so connections total. When they finally started mapping it to the whole flow, including destination address, this issue went away.

    NAT is not a solution from the internet core perspective however.

    As randy bush says, IPv6 implementation will INCREASE NAT usage for the next 10 years.

  22. Best feature but no market? on Vint Cerf on Why TCP/IP Was So Long in Coming · · Score: 1

    Frame SVCs wore never in huge demand. As Vint says, customers wanted cheap leased line replacements, and the ability to do hub and spoke and mesh networks cheaply. What do SVCs buy you? you already have to pay for the local loop. Cheaper Virtual circuits? Eventually the market moved to zero cir pvcs, which were as cheap as you needed.

    Besides, there were carrier SVC networks, the protocol was called SMDS, and no one bought it.

  23. Amen Brother. on Vint Cerf on Why TCP/IP Was So Long in Coming · · Score: 1

    I personally believe it will never be adopted. The government keeps having meetings where they set dates for implementation, that get turned into dates to have implementation plans. Meanwhile the clock is ticking and its ten years later. The internet has changed from when they drafted IPv6, who is going to make thier customers flash thier home routers?

    Time to punt and send folks back to committee. It is just as crufty as the OSI network stack. If they had just gone with the first draft and added more address space and a few header changes this would have all been taken care of a few years ago.

  24. no on Vint Cerf on Why TCP/IP Was So Long in Coming · · Score: 1

    The ARPANET was an accademic network for sharing defense research. The story about its survivability for nuclear war is simply untrue.

    Please name the "Local ISPs" that have multicast configured. I count Two out of Five core providers with multicast enabled.

    I wouldn't call MPLS somewhat of a rarity. Simply put I disagree entirely.

  25. Who hasn't drunk thier own urine? on "Lifesaver Bottle" Filters Viruses Out of Water · · Score: 1

    I mean right?.... Anyone... Okay I havent either. Thats gross.

    Air force survival guidelines imply that urine can only be safely "recycled" 7 times. But since we sweat and spit and such, the amount of water goes down every time as well.

    But Katrina and after the tsunami, these are not pee drinking situations. Last night, that was a pee drinking situation. Just kidding... maybe.

    I imagine the parent was joking, but diarrhea caused by contaminated drinking water is one of the biggest killers of children in the world, and an effective cheap water purifier would save many, many lives.
