  1. kilo pico hours? on Japanese Maglev Train Hits 500kph · · Score: 1

    Hey, the unit is km/h!

  2. Re:Not an issue at all on Backdoor In RuggedOS Systems: Infrastructure, Military Systems Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Well, that sounds fine, but totally unrealistic. You have in an industrial plant thousands of these control devices. Maintaining a password list for all these is just not going to work. So builder Bob will have a default password and Joe the mechanic has one. And you the operator have to know who installed this piece of hardware. In an industrial plant not every button or any pressure valve control needs a password. In fact I say the must not have one.

  3. Not an issue at all on Backdoor In RuggedOS Systems: Infrastructure, Military Systems Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    It is a device for industrial manufacturing. In the past the terminals and switches were accessible to anybody allowed into that area. It is an access problem. The network in a manufacturing plant should be inaccessible from outside. Why is that even news?

  4. Why your logic is wrong on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    I do not understand the logic here. Because other driving habits are dangerous too, the use of cell phones while your driving is OK? You are so wrong. Using the cell phone while your driving is not safe. And it doesn't matter if you are using a headset either. I see it every day and there are studies to prove this. And because people are usually too stupid to make good decisions on their own, they have to be told what not to do. That's why DUI is illegal too, even if there are more things which you shouldn't do while driving. -H

  5. Trusted Platform Module on New iMac disassembled · · Score: 4, Informative

    On one of the pictures you can see a Infinion-TPM module. Is that activated on the Mac?

  6. Re:Along train tracks... on Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network · · Score: 3, Informative

    Forget it! 801.11 does not have something like handover if you change cells. This is only available in IN (cellular) Telephone networks.

  7. Re:Stop, thief! on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1

    Partially true. Obviously a lot of artists do not agree to even show it to other even if you do not take advantage out of this. The question is: does the artist have the right to control how you are using his work, to allow or deny the sharing of it? And do we respect that she/he does not agree to share his work? hf
