  1. Re:Don't see the problem on Congressman: Court Order To Decrypt iPhone Has Far-Reaching Implications (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah man, I realize this is nothing new. I'm just glad this is seeing the spotlight. You have to admit that this is going to set a serious precedent. What happens when China (whatever their security agencies are) asks for the same thing? Still feel happy about Apple complying?

  2. Re:Don't see the problem on Congressman: Court Order To Decrypt iPhone Has Far-Reaching Implications (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    This is pretty good. The government ORDERING a private company to build something (in this case a compromised iOS). Red flags should be going up every damn place.

  3. Re:resources on MIT Reveals "Hack-Proof" RFID Chip (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    I think you got it. If the RFID and server are in lock step, doesn't this really mean that each RFID has it's OWN corresponding server??

    MIT doesn't seem have any budgetary constraints, must be pretty nice... From where I sit, things are a bit different.

  4. Re:Only needs to be *sold* without encryption on California Bill Would Require Phone Crypto Backdoors · · Score: 1

    I think it's much more realistic that, as soon as you generate any kind of encryption key, that key gets sent to the vendor and DHS. Wouldn't be that difficult to do as long as you've got Google and Apple on board. One OTA firmware push...done.

    You're robot isn't going to get much science done when MY astronaut kicks it over the nearest cliff.

  6. Motorcycle ftw on Consumers Expect Their Cars To Become Mini Data Centers (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    ...This is exactly why I ride a motorcycle. No extraneous bullshit distractions. I will admit, it's EASY to pick out the drivers who desperately need this kind of tech in their rides. It's also disturbing at how many of them there actually are.

  7. Re:Good PR I suppose on Cisco Systems Will Be Auditing Their Code For Backdoors (cisco.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Stock prices would dip and shareholders would sue. This is nothing more than bullshit posturing. I'd even be willing to bet that whoever issued this statement has already been given walking papers. Just for the simple fact that the statement is implying due diligence and QC has not been done.

  8. This is EXCACTLY like that time... on Report: Google Partners With Ford To Make Self-Driving Cars (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    We put that dress on a pig. It's going to run a muck and shit all over place, and everyone is going to say,"Well. Yeah. But it's silk."

  9. Re:Your move, Cox on Cox Is Liable For Pirating Subscribers, Ordered To Pay $25 Million (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Really? I would think they would use this as the EXACT excuse! "Due to our ongoing lawsuit with BMG we are not forwarding any traffic that may be used against us in a court of law, i.e. any proprietary information that BMG may have rights to."

  10. I think what I was trying to get at is large Universities are closely tied with various government entities through grant funding and if one of those Universities, say, figures out how to compromise Tor *cough*Carnegie Melon*cough* or any other piece of tech it's reasonable to assume that ANY entity in any branch of government could "request" that information.

    I'm not saying they influence research. I'm saying that it's reasonable to assume they are fully briefed on it. Including, but not limited to, how to circumvent it.

    Not drunk.

    Yet.

  11. MIT was once the number one non-profit Department of Defence contractor in the nation. Don't know how much funding they get these days but it certainly seems as though this solution is provided to you by and for the U.S. Government.

    Sounds like a pretty good setup, and no hunter I know is going to sit in front of the tube to find a weapon. Jesus. There's a dozen other things my 'Il lady's got on a list the length of your arm. You think I'm going to wait around until that AR comes around again? Shit. Order the parts. Build it. Done.

  14. Re: doesn't even necessariy require much skill on What If Someone Uses This DIY CRISPR Kit To Make Mutant Bacteria? (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Bullshit. You know how many kids got easy bake ovens?? Chocolate muffin my ass.

  15. "Just keep another bank account" smacks of "We can't promise you we abide by best practices" to me. So yeah. Why NOT 5 bank accounts? Why not 10? I say fuck all that, just give me ONE Bank that takes it's (and my) security seriously. One that has an active Risk Management Plan for when things start to go south. I don't think that's too much to ask, considering that my checking and savings accounts together don't make enough interest to account for inflation...

    And don't think you're out of the woods yet. Yeah there's an age limit for enlisting, but there doesn't have to be. That, coupled with possibly not having to go through BASIC means, with a quick physical, you too could be flying drones in this man's army.

  17. For this to work you would have to cycle all the air AT ONCE through UV passivation. Else you would be stuck in a "clean a little air, 're-infect a little air" cycle. Then you'd need to find a way to sanitize those cultures behind bulkheads, server racks, in between various forms of shielding and other various hard to reach places. Bacteria have been know to withstand some pretty amazing environments... Vacuum included.

    By the time the codes get to your insurance company, denied, sent back, recoded (hopefully), sent back to the insurance company, you be fine! And then the insurance company will sue you for fraudulently submitting a claim... Which will be processed within the week.
