  1. Re:Resources on BlizzCon 2006 Unlikely · · Score: 1
    Soo.... the guys who design and code the game are the same ones who plan the Blizzcon??

    Isn't it obvious that blizard outsourced their login server code to a non technical department?

    You mean that my 5 year old version of openssl's sshd isn't secure? Well I guess i'll have to use my 5 year old version of telnetd instead.

  3. Re:The real problem is getting your boarding pass on Flying Faster Without ID · · Score: 1

    Thats a must when you fly southwest since their boarding priority is based on check in time. I check in the day before using the website thus i can show up 20 minutes before my flight boards and still board during the first boarding call. I can't believe people still stand in line for traditional tickets even when all the self check in stations are open.

    I'll keep buying ipods because i have money invested in itunes songs and apple refuses to license fairplay to 3rd parties. mmm consumer lock in.

  6. Re:End of internet (and world) predicted. Film at on CyberTerrorism - Reality or FUD? · · Score: 1
    Okay, folks, tell me: what can a cyber-terrorist do to a car that will cause it to burst into flames in a few weeks? All I can think of offhand is changing the spec for the gas line to gum rubber instead of neopreme, or soemthing like that --- and, of course, no one involved will ever notice, because cars are completely assembled by robots and no human ever sees the specs, buys the materials, or checks the figures.

    Easy.. Said terrorist creates fake web page claiming dousing your car's interior with gasoline while smoking cigarettes increases fuel mileage. Said terrorists then spams millions and millions of people with link to the page. 99.9999% of the recipients are smart enough to realize that dousing your car with gasoline is very dangerous, the other people's cars go boom.

  7. Re:Of course. on DirectX 10 Only On Vista · · Score: 1
    I felt the same way when osx came out and software designed for OSX wouldn't run on my system 9 computer, I love how slashbotters let apple get away with forced upgrades but when microsoft does it is bad.

    Watch slasbotters mod this post down because i simply pointed out the facts.

    These machines aren't made for you to carry around on a daily basis. They are desktop replacements. Only time you carry it around is when your going to a lan party or heading back to your parents house for college vacation.

    Thats what i was thinking.

    NSA wants to turn your phone calls into podcasts.

  14. Re:Irony! on Symantec Sues Microsoft, May Delay Vista · · Score: 1

    Thats funny because symantec started off with a virus detection program called SAM on the macintosh platform back in 91, it wasn't till they aquired Central point and Norton in 1994 did they started producing a virus program for the PC. Then apple's marketshare dwindled and sam was pulled in mid 90's. Those were the days. Though with the intel chips maybe we'll see apple hitting the 12% marketshare again.

  15. Re:It's Horrible Leaving on Ahead of IPO, Vonage Faces User Complaints · · Score: 1

    All voip carriers have problems with faxes and modems. Normal voip is compressed but when sending a fax the both terminating and originating voip gateway has to detect the fax tones and switch to no compression(64bit). Then you have problems with codec properly grabbing all the information due sampling rates etc. Faxes and voip is so hit or miss due to these issues. 56k Modems and voip is another story.

  16. Re:Stupid article on The AT&T Whistleblower's Evidence · · Score: 2, Funny
    The NSA doesn't monitor communications businesses for fraud, hacking, etc. That's not their job. Their job is signals/intelligence collection and analysis. A room in a datacenter that's off-limits to everybody but people with NSA security clearences is basically screaming "I'm a massive phone/data tap".

    Not only that, they aren't allowed to gather intelligence on American citizens. Only the fbi can.

    Why would the government get involved if it was AT&Ts own monitoring system?

    i'd assume this going to be used mostly by business customers who are going to be running some sort of vpn. There's no way tmobile is going ban vpn connections. Just set the vpn as your default gateway and there's nothing tmobile can do.
