  16. Of course those discs are Red Book compliant on BMG Stops Producing CDs · · Score: 1

    You can actually insert them into a book of ANY color and they will sound equally nice. On the other hand, if you try to insert them into Laser-Equipped Rotary Acousticifiers used by Music Pirates (in p1ra73sp33ch known as "CD players" or even "drives") they will instantly melt and render those devices unusable. They might even try to ass-rape those evildoers who try to deprive starving artists of the little income the record companies^w^wSTAGNATING SALES BECAUSE OF PIRACY leave them.

  19. Re:Easy to solve on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1

    Having to keep a database of all of the iris templates is annoying, though. Much more flexible to store the templates on the smart cards.

    Well, if you don't want to buy that 320GB harddisk to store the templates, you could also encrypt the template and store it (w/o the key) on the smart card and have a key for each user in the database that you use to decrypt the stored template and compare it with the scan. Might be a problem though because this gives the user the encrypted template as well as something rather close to the plaintext (his eye), which could be used for some half-known-plaintext attack. I'd go with storing the templates outside the card.

  20. Re:Easy to solve on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1

    If the key is on the card, I can make my own card with my own iris scan and my own key, right? umm.. no? The scan is not on the card (it's in the database, encrypted).

  21. Re:Easy to solve on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1

    You're right... 'twas by some twisted thoughts that when i read "Schiphol", "Hash" just appeared in my mind *g* but anyways I insist that there has to be a solution (that's what my boss likes about me *g*).

    Another way would be to generate a symmetric key for each user,encrypt the training data with it and store that key on the smartcard (and nowhere else).
    At the terminal you read the key from the card, decrypt the stored data, do the comparison and don't store the decrypted data or key anywhere.

  22. Easy to solve on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1

    Just store a hash instead of the "real" data.

  23. Re:Application of the word security disturbing. on Microsoft foils Xbox hackers with new Config · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I don't want to buy a 500 dollar console just because someone decided they wanted to run Linux on the Box as it's only use.
    Well, if manufacturers start to sell the hardware without losses (hence, a bit more expensive) and sell games without having to make up for losses in hardware (hence, a bit cheaper), and YOU buy lots (above average, including those who don't buy games at all) of those games (i suppose you do, since you disapprove of people buying little or no games for their consoles) then you have to pay LESS as a result. Of course, if the number of games you buy is BELOW average, then you would have to pay more that way, BUT then you are actually profiting of the current practice and shouldn't tell those who do similar to stop.

  24. Re:Now all we need is.... on Fontconfig 2.0 Released · · Score: 0

    well.. i know this is far from anything serious yet, but i'm working (in my rather limited free time only) on such a program. The project's in planning stage right now, and it would benefit from people posting suggestions at this forum. Wether it's stuff that annoys you in other HTML editors, or features that an already existing editor got particularly good - any help is appreciated.
