  1. Re:Cryptographically signed elections? on Azerbaijan Election Results Released Before Voting Had Even Started · · Score: 1

    Give everyone who votes a receipt with a unique serial number, and a list of how they voted.

    How do I ensure that my serial number is actually unique?

  2. Re:A slogan on Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Why don't we melt all that ice on the poles and in the mountains? That ought to provide a lot of fresh water, right?

  3. A Very Convenient Truth on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 1

    Sarah Silverman has already covered this angle of global warming. Here's the promo for her hard hitting documentary on the subject.

  4. Re:We? on How Google Earth Images Are Made · · Score: 1

    I like to think of Googlites, like, with giant eagle's wings. And singing lead vocal for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band. And I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk.

  5. It's not built into the stack on Vista's TCP/IP Promises and Perils · · Score: 1

    The article is referring to Network Access Protection (NAP). NAP is not built into the stack - it utilizes existing network protocols to enforce policies. Enforcement mechanisms include DHCP, 802.1x, VPN, and IPSec.

  6. Re:My thoughts... on Windows Vista Beta 2 Available for Download · · Score: 1

    Mainly, it does not work in my WPA2-Enterprise (WPA2 + AES + RADIUS) wireless network running at my home. Vista would send the proper authentication information and the Microsoft IAS RADIUS server (running on Win2k3) would grant access (confirmed via logs) but Vista would not grab an IP address. Statically setting an IP also failed to provide network access. I had to pull out an old WEP access point and finally Vista worked wirelessly. Due to WEP's insecurity, I have resorted to having to use the built in gigabit ethernet. Albeit that most of the public doesn't have as an elaborate of a set up at home, but I'm surprised that this is borked in Beta 2.

    Try posting to the beta newsgroups for assistance or check out this Web chat on June 19:
    Using Internet Authentication Service in a wireless or/and VPN deployment

  7. Re:NAP is sick... on Cisco Evolving Into A Security Company · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, NAP is the Microsoft quarantine solution. Cisco's solution is NAC.

    NAP is not a security feature, it's a client health feature.

  8. It's a Free PSS Call on Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot · · Score: 1

    Yes, we can get such cards to hand out. They allow the card holder 1 free incident with PSS.

  9. Hope I Like Her on Last Manufacturer of Pro Analog Audio Tape Closes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I can't seem to conjure up my hilarious Opelika joke...

  10. Re:To assuage conspiracy theorists out there on 80% of WiFi Networks are still Insecure, Kismet Author Says · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it would be possible to create a feature that allows you to "auto sync" a WAP and a device over a wired network. This would allow you to connect your (say) laptop to the WAP over a local wired connection and the software would automatically configure encryption to allow the laptop to access the WAP wirelessly. It could auto-generate a random key each time the sync was performed.

    How about a method for automatically configuring your AP and computers using a USB flash drive[microsoft.com]?

  11. Re:Sounds like an NT/XP...Use Linux/Unix on What Network Sniffing Tools Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    They might cut into the profits from each of the GPL products as they copy them for their own versions.

    You mean like netmon? Oh wait, ethereal did the copying there...

  12. Re:Angelina Jolie? on Hackers Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    He didn't change his grades, he changed the number of days he was absent. He actually changed grades in War Games to impress the girl.

    No, I think if Abe were alive today he would say something more like, "HELP!! Get me out of this box!!"

  15. Speaking of Samba on Investigating the RIAA's Billion-Dollar Claims · · Score: 1

    Since the author seems to have Samba on the brain, I wonder why all of the computers in the diagrams were Windows boxes? Do Samba users participate in file-sharing?

  16. Good Detective Work? on Investigating the RIAA's Billion-Dollar Claims · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think not:
    SMB!=Samba.
    Likening SMB spiders to Windows' search is a pretty big jump, IMO. I can't get to the demonstration of linked near the bottom of the site, though (http://zacker.no-ip.org/slipperyslope). Was there a good explanation there?
    Also, is there a legend for all of the icons used in the pictures?

  17. Full Disclosure? on Forbes on Linux · · Score: 1

    Forbes.com gets its tech news from slashdot. At least they disclose their relationship in some of their articles. I wonder why we don't see the same disclosure on /.

  19. Re:Hidden Bomb? on Tracking A Thief Via The Sircam Virus? · · Score: 1

    We had those for dial-up at a company I worked for. It was called a SecureID card and added an extra level of authentication when RAS'ing in. It kinda sucked to dial up right as the number was changing cause I never knew if I should go really fast putting the current number in or just wait for the next one.
