    #5 is going to be hard to work out. The handshake algorithm is no longer vulnerable to replay attacks, so I'm not sure what you plan on doing with your recorded authentication attempts.

    I use them as pickups lines at bars. So far, hasn't worked very well though.

    Dang, that's pretty cold.. oh yeah, this is Canada..

  3. Shame on Google Analytics API Goes Public · · Score: 1

    It's a shame they don't open source the code that drives the analytics.. That'd be sweet.

    Do you also run a LAMP server on your phone with all that memory left over?

    What's a tracker? It's a list of people who say they have a copy of a file. You telling me you can't search google for copyrighted files and download them directly from the search results?

    Try it.

  6. Re:Troll? Really? on Why Republicans Won't Retake Silicon Valley · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Libertarians are almost always people who are well off and don't like the idea of helping those who weren't dealt as good a hand as they were.

    You can sum up libertarianism as: Fuck everyone else, if you're poor, it's their your fault.

    Which is great until you realize that life isn't actually fair and we're not all born equal.

  7. Re:In a word... on Obama Proposes High-Speed Rail System For the US · · Score: 1

    The government builds and maintains our roadways. Why shouldn't it do the same for rail? or at the very least, help in its construction?

    HS Rail is beneficial for everyone.

    If had been using TimeMachine you'd be covered.

    Time machine saves all your data under a different user and can't be deleted without an admin password being entered.

  9. Re:Hey, what a surprise on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    However, since the goal of most viruses/worms/trojans is to control the computer for distributed and untraceable nefarious purposes (and not have the owner notice), they don't do that anymore. They cause the computer to join botnets, connect to master control servers, and wait for instructions. Sending spam, scanning other systems for vulnerabilities, hosting fast-flux phishing sites, etc. don't require elevated privilege.

    Unless the program is running right in front of the user and visible in the dock.. a password is needed to do everything you just mentioned.

    We're talking about botnets, not stupid programs that trash your files.

  10. Re:Hey, what a surprise on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'd tend to agree that mac's are protected against viruses, provided they don't download pirated software that contains viruses.

    Also, like all linux distros, in order to do any real damage on a mac, you need to enter an admin password.. simply opening a virus infected app wont do it.

    Move to Japan! The AWESOME internet choices are endless!

    I hear emigrating to Japan is a breeze, they hand out citizenships like toilet paper.

    Not that I specifically disagree with you, but would you make that argument if your country had no such weapons and another country did (say.. China or Russia) and they were attacking other countries in the middle east in order to gain control of resources.

    The submitter must be living in North Korea, their new outlets are saying it actually went up.

    I do the same when playing counter-strike.

    I still haven't figured out why my ping is so bad though..

    Chrome is built using WebKit.

    Which raises the question, why is Safari less secure than Chrome?

    I've made many websites, far more complex than that pile of trash. Feel free to look at the one in my sig.

    I can't wait til "Twitter" passes and we can stop using retarded words like "tweet".

    Twitter is not some genius website worth the $55,000,000 it's raised. I could recreate the entire site's functionality in 15 minutes.

    Get an IP2Location database, there's a bunch of free ones on the net. Then do a lookup based on $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] at the beginning of all your scripts.. there might be an apache mod for this, but I've never used such a thing.
