  1. Re:next privacy issue? on Linux Powers First Handheld Software Radio · · Score: 1

    Of course, frequency Hopping & CDMA techniques were made to prevent this at the beginning (jump frequently eg 1000 times/s from a frequency to another).

    Besides, GSM was implemnted properly and the channel is considered open to eavesdropping. So all communications are cyphered with a session key, negociated with the network.

  2. Re:Steal a smart card vs. steal a Palm IrFM device on Use Your PDA As A Secure 'Wallet' · · Score: 1

    false, steal a smart card, then try to guess the PIN (passwd) to let it work.
    Of course, a blank password on a smartcard is a bummer.

  3. Re:3 comments and nearly /.ed on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 1

    so why not /res and /conf ?

  4. Re:More cartoon than movie... on 3D Computer Generated Movie From France · · Score: 1
    Nice to see creativity from France.


    Maybe you haven't seen some of the famous french viedogames before ? (Like Rayman, .. can't remind all of them now)
    Disclaimer : I'm French.
  5. Smart card less secure ? on Use Your PDA As A Secure 'Wallet' · · Score: 1

    sorry, but smart cards are MORE secure than this, much more.
    There always is a challenge & response, plus the device itself cannot be tampered with : there is no possibility to use a probe to get internal content.

  7. Re:What the heck? on Why Open Source Doesn't Interoperate · · Score: 1

    You forgot Apache. Oh, and Linux (POSIX)

  8. Re:Everything can be related to math. on Origami and Math · · Score: 2, Informative

    you need only NANDs to make all other gates, y'know ?
    NOT (X) = NAND (x,x)
    AND x y = not(nand(x,y))
    OR = nand(not(x),not(y))
    nor = not or
    etc ... (even a=>b, the logical implication, which is not a or b)

  9. Re:Need GUI's over HTTP on X Might Be Ready For IPV6 · · Score: 1

    Turing completeness has nothing to do with security, I suppose.
    It's the available API (or functions exposed by the OS given the rights the daemon has) that counts.
    The lack of buffer overflows has some advantages. Sure they are TC, but that's not the point.
    The "format c: when pinged" protocol is not turing complete.

  10. Re:Church audio recording setup with ardour on The Fix Is In: Ardour Set For Summer Release · · Score: 1

    You should check ecasound, it's perfect for that usage.

  11. Re:Won't replace Pro Tools anytime soon on The Fix Is In: Ardour Set For Summer Release · · Score: 1

    sure, what's interesting is the sub 5ms latency with a common soundcard/computer. HIGH uptimes. Reliability. Availability. Sample accurate sync with other software through JACK (jackit.sf.net). SUPPORT AND price, of course.

    Possibility to run remote via X might be interesting for noise.

    (but the ardour website has more points about that)

    On the downside, many people are trained to use protools. but they can learn.

    NOTE : many people tend to think about the big music software companies. Ahem. This market is tiny and paid usage of the software is even more tiny.

  14. NO Bluetooth on New Palms: Zire 71 and Tungsten C · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's a shame such a prodoct doesn't have bluetooth : I think It would have been much cheaper and battery saving than to use WiFi ?
    Any Ideas why it hasn't been included ?
    Besides, it's important noting those PDA have an integrated keyboard.

  15. Re:This begs a question... on Conquest FS: "The Disk Is Dead" · · Score: 1

    DUH ! now.

    If you want 15 years ago speed.

    Or never if you want to have what you have with the latest static, electrical device with a spinning, mechanical device.

  16. Re:xwin- Quartz on Keith Packard's Xfree86 Fork Officially Started · · Score: 1

    The DirectFB project considers the screenas a frame buffer. An accelerated, network transparent way of doing graphics doesn't.

    How do you use OpenGL on this ? Accelerated 2D ?
    Do you have to rewrite drivers for each non VESA card ?

    good luck.

  17. Apple buys Beatles' rights ? on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    seems an historical pun.

    (disclaimer : this was found no the register)

  18. Good ! on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Given the fact that apple is officially against DRM, though not pro piracy, that would be a first merger between computer and media groups, not consumer eletronics (SONY)
    Will it be one of the rare cases of a merger beneficial (besides economically) to the end user ?

  20. Re:will this give us a legacy-free printer? on Legacy-Free PCs · · Score: 1

    do you know you can sync drives, kill all processes and reboot your linux box with the SYSReq key ?

    Print screen serves right to make screenshots (could be done with a tiny prog, though),

    Nothing absolutely necessary, though.
