    But what happens when the trusted device is the iPhone thats just gone missing?

    There are even Android apps that automate the process. Although there not on the market.

    This is one http://droidsheep.de/
    And the other, which I've played with is FaceNiff. But the author stopped supplying new keys for it a long time back.

    It's great for posting "I'm the ghost of the person who died building your Macbook" threads and articles onto the Facebook walls of random Apple users who are hooked upto the free Wifi in Starbucks.

    I was there when it happened.

    It basicaly got laughed out of court as rediculous. It didn't even take long enough for an actual hearing to take place.
    To celebrate London Chanology got a big, 10 foot I think, heavy duty laminated 'Scientology is a CULT' banner made up by a professional sign maker and marrily dragged it along to each proceeding protest for the following 3 years. We used to hang it along the safety barier the plod put out for us.

  5. Re:Bridgekeeper on Roadkill Forcing Cliff Swallows To Evolve · · Score: 0

    I'd imagion Evolved would be faster. Due to decreased drag on its wings.
    Conversely, it would also suffer less lift. Making its kinetic advantage limited to gravitationally focused flights.

    And thats the real issue.

    This is an Apple Safari flaw, which has been incorrectly spun as a Java problem.
    It's a stretch to even call this an exploit.

  12. Re:The cheese has moved on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: -1

    They've missed that boat too.

    There already are an increasing collection of decent Android game devices with hardware controlls.
    I own an Archos Gamepad myself, with its 7" screen, and powerful enough soc to emulate everything starting with the PSX backwards near perfectly. It's the handheld gaming device I always wished existed since I was a kid.

    Don't invision ever using it for Android apps. As personally, find tablets a horrid experience and years of touch typing make the tactile experience of touch screens unbearable for anything. But a 2 decade back catalog of classic RPG gaming, with an occasional blast of Sonic the Hedgehog sitting in my pocket on a decent sized screen make it the first 'console' on the market to ever meet my needs. Yes, I also have really big pockets.

    I think this is about more than a suggestion for new coders. It's a bet for the future.
    If they persuade fledgling coders to cut their teath using the gnome js framework... Then they become primarily Gnome devs rather than Linux $platform devs.

    It's a subtle play for platform lockin using the next generation of coders as tools.

  20. Re:Copper owner owes a refund on German Federal Court Rules That Internet Connection Is Crucial To Everyday Life · · Score: -1

    I had an SLA on my residential broadband in the UK.
    Signed and delivered to me even before I got the go live date.

    It included clauses such as all support calls being answered within 3 rings.
    All calls during office hours being answered within the UK by native english speakers.
    A high percentage uptime guanrenteee I cannot remember the exact figure for. With an agreement that any faults requiring actual physical work by engineers. Would result in said engineer being dispatched at there expense within the hour. And a provision for major but kissing for any fault that was not repaired within 4 hours.

    This was on a £20/month truely unlimited package that ran at the full 16mbit without latency spikes or slow downs any time 24/7.
    In 5 years of service I think I suffered one downtime of about 20mins.

    Not used ADSL for about year now, since it was rendered mostly obsolete by a bank of load balanced, unlimited HSPA+ dongles that average a throughput of 8mbit/each at a cost of £10/month per dongle.... No SLA there, but the redundancy more than makes up for it.

  22. Irlem Syndrome on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools For Dealing With Glare Sensitivity? · · Score: -1

    This I believe is often some level of symptons of Scotopic Sensitivity.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_sensitivity_syndrome

    In my own experience, much of the same solutions for this and regular reading transfer to working with panels.... More or less.
    I find the backlighting on displays makes glare much worse. Glossy screens are hell. And black text on white backgrounds cause the black text to float and wave slightly bove the background and the intense white has weird larva lamp style swirly plasma like effects throughout it extending maybe a few inches deep into the display at all times.

    Configurable color palletes are a must... I myself find green on black the only thing perfectly usuable.
    I'd recommend avoiding anything Apple, like the plague. There whole interface style just results in day long migraines for even glancing at for a few mins.

    For things where you can't change the interface... Stuff like x.flux and gtk-redshift are quite useful by shifting a long way towards red you remove a lot of the glare... And I swear at one stage there were similar things for colorshifting the entire display somewhere to your prefence which may work better. But currently running the MATE desktop with a dark theme with Greasemonkey scripts to darken commonly used web sites. For outliers and gaming, I run gtk-redshift with a reasonably strong redbalance to fix the effect.

    Of course, individual color sensitivities differ... So while I find more red good, you may find less red so instead.

    Interestingly, with my percaptual difficulties... I seem to be one of the rare few for which stereocopy has presented the first time in my life the ability to watch films and visit the cinema, enjoy gaming, etc. But only certain 3D techs work this way... RealD is good, IMAX 3D HORRIBLE.... Passive Line interleaved panels horrible because even at a distance of a meter from a 20" panel I can still clearly see the blacklines and individual pixels..... Active shutter bad... Passive polarised projectors easier to watch than the ponies outside my window.

  23. Re:Low bandwidth... on Meet "Ophelia," Dell's Plan To Reinvent Itself · · Score: -1

    I'm in a small village right outside London. Close enough to see it in the distance when I climb the nearest hill.
    It's a total communications blackspot.
    No telephone lines, not even basic voice... No cell coverage.
    My internet is at the mercy of a 4mile wifi link.

    IRC, is my primary method of communication as thats the only thing stable enough to be 24/7 reliable.
    I'd probably get better bandwidth by mailing flash sticks to Africa.

    I think its safe to say these technologies would be a problem for anybody not deeply embedded in a major population centre in any part of the world.

  24. Truecrypt and custom share location on Ask Slashdot: Linux Mountable Storage Pool For All the Cloud Systems? · · Score: -1

    Most sharing services let you specify a shared directory location of your choice.
    Why not just set them to all share the same directory. Then just create a Truecrypt crypt volume inside of it.

  25. Re:An innocent question, please be gentle... on Kingston Introduces 1TB Flash Drive · · Score: 0

    I think this is more dependant on the filesystem choosen that anything.
    Generally things like ext4 avoid fragmentation better than ntfs historically did. Can't speak for all the quirks of the myriad choices out there.
    But generally, an intelegient fs would try and locate a new file in an contigeous space as possible.
    With a larger volume vs contents there is a lot more empty space to choose from when creating new large files. So bareing the odd application expanding files in a less than inteligent manner or the odd older fs quirk. FAT32 and its ilk being particularly poor here. Then, yes a larger drive could potentially make your life much more pleasent in this area.
