  1. Re:Security is a Fallacy on OpenSSL Security Update · · Score: 1

    It makes sense to use it just plan for something to go wrong. Nothing is secure but something is much more secure than others.

  2. Re:BS. It beats the hell out of the alternative. on OpenSSL Security Update · · Score: 1

    didn't have a 'its going to get cracked anyway' attitude. It is the misconception of most ppl that just because it is supposedly secure that it won't get cracked and that is not a good attitude to have. Trust the security experts but don't trust them to always get it right.

  3. Security is a Fallacy on OpenSSL Security Update · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It seems that by throwing secure at the end of something cons ppl into thinking its secure, ssh, ssl and who know how many encryption methods have been cracked. Face it, Security is a Fallacy.

  4. Old news on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    It seems that the rest of the world is around 20 years behind the Department of Defense.

  5. they don't make them like they used to on Pioneer 10 Still Running After 30 years · · Score: 4, Funny

    just wanted to say it, probably doesn't apply here though

  6. DING DONG! OLED TOLED FOLED! on Light-Emitting Polymer Displays · · Score: 1

    How can no one mention the OLED TOLED and FOLED! Essentially what we are talking about here are those technoligies but possibly for proprietry reasons they have resorted to other names

    Kodak
    FOLED

  7. computers don't kill ppl, ppl do on House OKs Life Sentences For Hackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    this must be a first, a life sentence charge without even physically harming anyone, something doesn't add up.

  8. Cost of Investigation on California to Cancel Oracle Deal · · Score: 1

    The investigation will cost tax payers approximately 100 million dollars, which will be revealed by an opposition govt spokesman just before the next election.

  9. Eiffel on What Makes a Powerful Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Eiffel has all of those, and is being integrated into .NET (soon, around May)

  10. thank god for optus - BULLSHIT! on Pity Broadband Users In Australia · · Score: 1

    optus is the only broadband alternative to telstra, but as I am finding out that are just as shit. I've had cable for 1 year, it cost $300 for installation then a one year contract at $75 a month. They suspend/terminate your account for running services. My account got suspended for "apparently" portscanning because some piece of shit paranoid adminstrator can't be confident about his own firewall out there emailed optus with a could be made up log file and said I portscanned him/her/it - so optus decided to suspend my account (no I didn't get hact). Optus also has nazi style bandwidth restrictions, all you get is an average that represents the entire users on the network's download, then if you go 10 times over that average your account gets terminated. Well, I'm still with optus only because telstra are cunts and I don't want to go back to 56k. If another competitor were to ever enter the australian market, and I doubt it for a while coz the cattle herding arseclown govt will most likely stop it, I'm gonna tell optus to shove there cable modem up there arse sideways. Btw, Australia's problem is that there are not enough ppl, 20 million - what kind of market is that, perhaps it's lucky with what it's got.
