    I believe you mean stealing electron momentum; turn in your geek card.

    "And that's not even the pro's." And that's not even car theives. They are just taking the rims off of the thing on the street.

    Yep, right now keyless entry can be duped by a straight replay attack. They need to implement query/response and prevent replays with cryptographic salts.

    Google has found something like when the bar is available to users, 80% of searches will come from the bar. I'm not sure on that number but it is around there.

    Not only that, there are still hacked drivers which will allow it. While *you* may have a qualm about knowingly installing hacked drivers on your computer, rest assured that a cracker won't.

    Yes, but having the law drastically keeps down the cost of such insurance, which, as you claim (with slight racists overtones, though it is hard to tell through text), is essential!

    "This sort of thing does reduce the relitively minor issues of poor people not paying unexpected car / medical expenses, but the primary benifit is for the stockholders and executives at the insurance companies."
     
    This isn't relatively minor at all. Getting in a wreck can cost you hundreds of thousands in medical bills. It can wipe out a family's provider in a time of financial crisis. How is this relatively minor? It isn't about some poor guy not being able to pay for banging up your mercedes--there are a lot of rich people who couldn't pay for banging up your person.

    My point is they don't require it if you don't drive a car.

    Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. That's the extreme case?!? Using a rescue floppy on an unbootable Windows install?!
     
    Sure, that's not going to be in a Dell Tech Support rep's script, but that is not an extreme case.

    Hmm, my grandmother got her license taken away and doesn't have a car and yet the government doesn't require her to pay any car insurance. Where are you getting this from?

    KaZaa is completely broken; they only hash every other byte of every file, so the whole thing is full of junk. Worst optimization ever.

  14. Re:Not his best form on Colbert New Comic-in-Chief · · Score: 1

    It wasn't a bit harder, it was a lot harder. This event traditionally has comedy acts--CSPAN knew this and they mic'ed the audience just fine. No, they weren't mic'ed as loudly as they are on shows with studio audiences, but you can still hear from the difference in the two acts that Colbert bombed. Listen when he cracks on China; you can hear louder grumbling than you ever hear laughing throughout the rest of his act!

  15. Re:I Watched It Live... And Wasn't Impressed on Colbert New Comic-in-Chief · · Score: 1

    This is often true of CSPAN broadcasts but simply isn't true here. During the doppleganger Bushes, you could hear loud laughter.

    Wow, you act so manly in your first post and then you slip up like that. A Looney Toons kinda guy? You probably get a hardon everytime Bugs kisses Fudd.

    When you cancle netflix will offer your a couple of month's at half-off. As you don't seem to be the "opps I forgot about my subscription and paid for 6 months" type you should take them up on it.

    I don't like Bush either; but it has nothing to do with his accent. When I explain my dislike I typically try and give examples of bad conduct on his part. I don't say "lol look at his haircut."

    The CSPAN audio thing is bunk in this case (though I definitely have noticed it on CSPAN in the past)--you can see cuts to the audiences faces and additionally during the Bush doppleganger skit you could hear roaring laughter, so I don't buy it.

    Unfortunately you may have watched so much television with laugh tracks that unless people are laughing you can't distinguish funny--I feel for you, and don't worry, you're not alone.

    I've heard that Imus did it one year and it was much more ballsy than this. I didn't see it, but I'l love to see it pop up on youtube or somewhere similar.

    The whole Cheney shooting a guy thing was such non-news. Right as the patriot act was in danger of not being renewed, Cheney shoots a guy and all the news jumps on that; patriot act renewal slips through. Perfect planning.
