  1. Bootable Debian on USB key with root encryption? on Encrypted USB Key With TOR, Firefox · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://feraga.com/node/94 - why not use this instead on any key...

  2. Master Password Timeout 0.2.5 on Holes Remain Open in Firefox Password Manager · · Score: 1

    The first thing i found after the previous announce of this problem was the firefox extension that timesout the master password after let's say 30 seconds.
    Next time the browser wants to fill in a blank it ask for the master password, if you don't trust the site just press escape and nothing will happen ! :)

  3. Screw Web 2.0 on The Next Big Thing — Why Web 2.0 Isn't Enough · · Score: 1

    This horrible centralized, corporate controlled social marketing mayhem... what we need is a real social p2p based on amule, openID, bittorent freenet and whatnot...

  4. Marvell / Sky2 ? on Gigabyte N680SLI-DQ6 - A Mother Of A Motherboard · · Score: 1

    Marvell cards are the one with the Sky2 driver right? Which is flaky (not to say crappy...) but i heard there is another module available. (binary?)

    In any case, i wouldn't buy such a mobo if i was to use those 4 cards if i knew it would have flaky driver supports, a crashing router is annoying ;-)

    If they can get realtek or other well supported cards inside, i'm all in!

  5. Yeah more corporate rip-off on T-Mobile Announces WiFi Meshing Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Will they start selling bandwidth to device we own instead of renting locked up box to sell us crappy features one by one? As if we couldn't code an irc client ourself...everyone does that in high school! :P Once more, now is the time to support the OpenMoko Project and the upcoming (on the 9th) OpenMoko [SC]ells Or any other similar projects but i didn't find many ... :( !

  6. Screw the iPhone on FSF Rattles Tivo Saber At Apple · · Score: 1

    Go and help real projects like OpenMoko instead of crappy consumer-whore oriented product like the iPhone...

  7. Can't people just play? on Fighting Online Game Cheating in Hardware · · Score: 1

    I mean come on, you have someone cheating on a server... big deal, change server, find some real friends you can trust to play with, whatever!
    Don't start building DRM up the food chain as an excuse for not winning ;-)

  8. Gattaca on Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math · · Score: 1

    So let's save teaching time and separate them in their first years at school? ;-)
    </sarcasm>

  9. Re:Get to like rice on Where Do You Go For Linux Training? · · Score: 1

    Or try a linux from scratch from any other linux distribution... this will really teach you things :)

  10. This is getting mathematically scary... on UK Taps 439,000 Phones, Now Wants To Monitor MPs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Take a look at the research papers linked here and this one in particular:

    The Economics of Mass Surveillance and the Questionable Value of Anonymous Communications (PDF)
    by George Danezis and Bettina Wittneben.


    You may think that half a million phone tapped is not that much... well think again, the social network effect is probably exposing all of Britain. Ask for your rights to be respected now.

  11. OpenID vs OpenPrivacy? on AOL Now Supports OpenID · · Score: 1

    Has anyone got any precise insight on the difference between OpenPrivacy and OpenID goals? :)

  12. Michael Geist on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Take a look at Michael Geist's blog... he's the Lawrence Lessig of Canada.

    This message proudly paid by a Montreal Pirate! (whatever that means ;)

  13. OpenID vs OpenPrivacy? on Gates Says Microsoft Will Support OpenID · · Score: 1

    Has anyone got any precise insight on the difference between OpenPrivacy and OpenID goals? :)

  14. Linux Unified Key Setup on Bitlocker No Real Threat To Decryption? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Want to encrypt your disk securely?
    Take a look at LUKS.
    It now comes standard in the latest Debian Etch installer :)

  15. Re:Well? on Large FLOSS Study Gets the Real Facts · · Score: 1

    Here's a nickel kid, get yourself a better computer :P

  16. Re:Psiphon looks good... on Behind the Magic of Anti-Censorship Software · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this information, i added anoNet to my list :)

    For the record, everything i listed _is_ FOSS...

    But, uhm, while being an interesting project i don't understand how anoNet differs from standard VPN + routing between friends?
    What advantages would this have over I2P which adds pseudonym's for examples...
    Or FreeNet with anonymous storage?
    Or Waste which does the same as what i understand from anoNet but in a simpler way with added search capacity?
    Or OpenSwan with opportunistic encryption?

    I probably missed the point :-)
    Anyway, cheers and long live all the darknets! ;-)

  21. No shit? on Tackling Global Warming Cheaper Than Ignoring It · · Score: 1

    i remember a time where the internet was built around the idea of surviving anything... now we have people building stupid centralized solution that go down because of a simple power failure? Come on! Let's all embrace p2p :)

  25. iAudio like? on SanDisk Baits Apple And Woos Rockbox · · Score: 1

    It's hard to find an mp3 player:

    - With the codec supports for mp3, wav, ogg, flac! (iAudio ...).
    - A standard AA battery or two so it's useful while travelling and easy to change.
    - High output to drive circumaural headphones.
    - A big screen in a small factor (the Clix sounded like a good start, anyone tried the GUI? Too bad it seems to have an annoying interface to u/l files and that the cie. stopped it's mp3 only division...)
    - Open standard and design (Drag & drop in a folder, USB mass storage, interoperate with other USB stuff. name it? Rockbox?)
    - A reasonable price for the amount of memory in it... (I still see 512MB players for 100$? wtf?)
    - Some gizmo like FM & recording, text reading, photo viewing, clock, lyrics, (video?), intelligent functions (playlist?), etc.
