  1. Re:Why trust the PKI? on CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate · · Score: 1

    Why not just store all the banking data right on the USB drive itself and hand that out to every customer then you never have to even get online to check your accounts. Just think of it as a modern day sneaker net. Virtually no chance of MITM attacks or eavesdropping. I think this is an ingenious idea.

    Now how do I patent this?

    When we got one of those damn wheel-less, round, mac "hockey puck" mice it was nearly impossible to determine the orientation after you finish typing a snippet and go back to mousing. You always had to look down and rotate it so the mouse cord was "up". What a horrible design.

  7. Re:Analogy on New Massive Botnet Building On Windows Hole · · Score: 1

    Your analogy is more apt than the OP's. A loaded gun's uses are more singularly designed compared to that of say a crow bar, baseball bat, chainsaw, rosebush, unkempt PC, or unconscious syph infected hooker. All of the latter have designed uses other than causing harm whereas the gun is more or less useless other than as a weapon.

    You cannot blindly blame the owners of certain tools if the tools are covertly used by another party. If someone sneaks into my house, steals my carving knife, stabs someone with it, cleans the knife, and returns it back all without my knowledge, should I be punished?

    Your "nearly perfect" solution seems way more complicated than necessary but to each his own.

    As for my "bet" maybe you need to practice on google searching, I did a single search and found this

    http://www.freeproxy.info/en/free_proxy/cgi-proxy.htm

    The few I tried worked right off the bat.

    I suppose doing something like TOR might work too.. though you might not get a US proxy I suppose. Maybe their are config options? I've never even downloaded it or seen it in use.

  14. Re:As a non-american... on YouTube Adds Full-Length Television Shows · · Score: 1

    I bet there are a bajillion free web proxies in the US you could use to pretend to be from the US so you can watch some crappy TV show made in the US via an officially sanctioned method.

    There are two other solutions besides using a free web proxy in the US: download shows via bittorrent/p2p tools OR dont watch the crappy shows at all. I personally don't watch them even though I have access to the network on my own TV or could apparently view this on the web as I am in the US.

  15. Re:Taking one for the team. on Court Rules That Palin Must Save Yahoo Emails · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that the worst punishment she will receive will be a slap on the wrist, after all the president and his staff have already done far worse wrt to email hiding and nothing happened to them. But what it does do is expose 'politics as usual' for her, all claims to maverick status are pretty much null and void now.

    If Obama wins the elections, no one will care about Palins transgressions as she disappears back into the obscurity that she came from. If McCain wins he will just pardon her and the events will drift into obscurity. Either way in 3 months this wont even hardly be even a fading memory to most people.

    What about an enterprise of say over 2000 access points in a single network where most of the APs talk to each other for their backhaul connections? Doing PSK is really your best and only bet there. Of course one would hope and expect that the PSK in this type of scenario would be very secure.

    Where might this type of network exist you ask? You might check out the successful wifi network in Minneapolis. Of course the actual end users have two assosciation choices with regard to wifi security. The wide open unencrytped SSID and the fully encrypted 802.1x + PEAP/EAP-TTLS.

    you could just always make sure to use the same case regardless of it being a proper noun or not. for example if the question is "What was the name of the city in which you went to first grade?" and the city is let's say "St. Petersburg" you would just always use "st petersburg" using all lower case and omitting any punctuation. Easy to recall as there is never any variation. Maybe it reduces security but do you want to actually use the service? If not, cancel your online account.
