  1. Re:Remind me why on Next Flash Version Will Support Private Browsing · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can give one good legitimate example, flash games. It allows you to save your game and allow a more complex game that that could need more than one sitting to beat.

  2. Horay! on Next Flash Version Will Support Private Browsing · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now I can plan that birthday party without anyone knowing.

  3. Re:tpm? on Hardware TPM Hacked · · Score: 1

    By taking the last output, XORing it with a monotonic counter (a counter that just counts up) and encrypting again you get a new a key. Generating a RSA key is a little more complex but that is a very simple way of getting a "completely random" number every time while keeping the odds of repeating a number very low.

  4. There going to run out of musical notes soon... on An Interview With F# Creator Don Syme · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will D flat be the same language as c#?

  5. Re:Mars? on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Any Corporation with enough money to fund a trip to the moon will be a multi-national corporation. Just launch from a different country than the US.

  6. Re:Dammit... on Offline Book "Lending" Costs US Publishers Nearly $1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    That is one thing that irks me with my library. They have downloadable books on mp3 but there are waiting lists for them until the person "returns" it (aka there DRM license expiring). They even have the ridiculous restriction of "i-pod compatible" so if it is not you are not allowed to send it to your ipod

  7. Re:No thanks on Blizzard Authenticators May Become Mandatory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    *cough*TPM*cough*

  8. Re:IronKey? on Encryption Cracked On NIST-Certified Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    No, IronKey uses a hardware crypto chip, these drives are all using software crypto. What this group did was bypass the software crypto.

    ...Linux on the mainframe!

  10. Re:Time Machine on AT&T Moves Closer To Usage-Based Fees For Data · · Score: 1

  11. Truecrypt on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do what I set up for my father, Truecrypt installed to a USB key, passwords in a plaintext file inside the arcive.

    Also ask any incarcerated felon about the right to vote.

  13. Re:Race Condition? on "Smart" Parking Meters Considered Dumb · · Score: 1

    In the US if you stay in the car in the driver seat it is considered standing(engine on or engine off is between you and the courts and can differ by city) you will see both no parking and no standing signs in high traffic locations like airports. Once you leave your car it immediately becomes parking.

  14. Re:Flash memory in a keyboard? on Apple Keyboard Firmware Hack Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    The main disadvantage to current keyboards that I see is that they only allow 3-6 concurrent key presses. That may not be a issue when typing frequently but if you modify the keyboard to be the capture source for a MAME cabinet that can be a issue. Perhaps the ram and firmware is to get around this issue.

    No that is the full resolution however it requires that your card support dual monitors.

  18. Re:Prepare for a run in display calibration tools on World's First 3D Webcam Tested · · Score: 1

    Also polarized light and shutter glasses 3D. But you need a projector for the first one. Okay, two projectors.

  19. Re: the islands on Is Cataclysm the Next World of Warcraft Expansion? · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. All you need to do is jump off the zeppelin that goes out of UC at the last second, feather fall and you can walk on the edge of the map. where the zone ends. you can not swim across the ocean. Yes there is a dev island, if you are on a private server you can warp yourself there. but there is no way to get there using the public realms.

  20. Re:Already happened in Second Life on Massive Bank Fraud In EVE Online · · Score: 1

    It's hard to collect from an avatar.

  24. Re:Bad Guys on Researchers Build a Browser-Based Darknet · · Score: 1

    Any computer you have lost control over is unsafe. Treat a corporate/school issued computer the same as you would treat a random computer you sat down at in a coffee shop. You don't know what has been done to it so don't do activities that require sensitive information or anonymity.

  25. Re:Damn on China Dominates In NSA-Backed Coding Contest · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Private collages are not there to educate, its to make the board of regents money. It is a business after all, it really is the defining factor between a state school and a private school.
