  1. Re:Build-in function library on Go, Google's New Open Source Programming Language · · Score: 1

    it is not embedded, and there are libraries.

    see the example web server in ~30 lines.

  2. Re:Truecrypt on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    your recommended http://gpgauth.com/ seems to be a complete failure.

    it appears vulnerable to MITM attacks (if I just follow what's on the http://gpgauth.com/#what_how page) and philosophically it seems to duplicate what is available with HTTP certificates and OpenID.

  3. Re:USB on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    side note:

    when using unfriendly computers, you can avert keyloggers by installing a new browser (so the malware can't hook into it) and then use a combination of mouse clicks and keystrokes to input your password. "mouse click" here is meaning to move the insertion point by clicking somewhere inside your typed text.

  4. Re:Hashing Works on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    everyone uses this method but nobody want to reply and agree with you because then someone could find that person, reverse engineer their hash and then own them.

    shit!

  5. Re:Yeah, but it is reliable. on Chicago Court Throwing Out LIDAR Speeding Tickets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some police systems have a positive feedback loop where ticket revenue is given back to the police department.

    Must have been a real rocket scientist that didn't see the problem with that setup.

  6. Re:That's change I can believe in on Justice Dept. Asked For Broad Swath of IndyMedia's Visitor Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    >> The irony is, if the right wing actually supported the left on some of their basic rights issues, they would get another break on government power.

    No. The irony is that the right wing and the left wing are identical.

  7. Re:Correction on 10% of US Energy Derived From Old Soviet Nukes · · Score: 1

    >> Googling shows 22% of our U.S. electric consumption is from nukes (quite surprising to me). 45% of this is roughly 10% of our total consumption.

    So if... "22% of our U.S. electric consumption is from nukes" ... and ...
    "10 percent of electricity generated in the United States comes from fuel from dismantled nuclear bombs" ... then that means...

    12% of U.S. electricity comes from nuclear bombs which have not been dismantled. ... or you could say...

    A majority of U.S. electricity from nuclear bombs is from those which are still in detonatable condition.

  8. End them on Lawsuit Claims Top iPhone Games Stole User Data · · Score: 1

    >> Storm8, a maker of some top iPhone games, allegedly stole users' mobile phone numbers, according to a lawsuit filed on November 4

    If this is true, I will post the cheats I made for all the Storm8 games (since they all use the same backend). This will end them.

    In the meantime, since nobody else hijacked this thread, it's time to mod me into oblivion:

  9. Re:1.2T = 120B per year on Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House · · Score: 1

    >> Let's be clear: 1.2 Billion is the cost for 10 years, not 1 single upfront cost (like bailouts or emergency war funding supplementals)

    I'd rather have it upfront. Do you know what the original projections were for Medicare?

  10. Sonos on Simple, Cost-Effective, Multiroom Audio? · · Score: 1

    Get Sonos.

    There are amped and un-amped versions. Use their branded remote or the Desktop/iPhone/iPod app. 100% recommend.

  11. Re:Is it worth it? on How Google Uses Linux · · Score: 1

    please read that 25% line one more time.

    now remember that comes after 20% free time.

    so that's 1 day backporting and 1 day free time per week. doesn't sound bad to me.

    now... last time google offered me a job I took it, so maybe that the difference between us.

  12. Re:not only Verisign on Paul Vixie On What DNS Is Not · · Score: 1

    >> My ISP does the DNS redirection thing, but it's only marginally evil. They only do it for domain names starting www and the page that they redirect to has a permanent opt-out button...

    and... how do you find that optout button?
    and... how does dig operate if you don't press the button?

  13. Re:Standard Calculus on Radar Beats GPS In Court — Or Does It? · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is part of the fundamental theorem of calculus.

  14. Re:'Can I put peroxide in my ear?' on What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity? · · Score: 1

    >> I agree. Hydrogren peroxide is a common home remedy for ear-aches and wax buildup. It seems reasonable (and even smart) for someone, upon receiving advice to put hydrogen peroxide in his ears, to plug it into Google to see if it's actually a good idea.

    I also don't think "Why would a pregnancy test be negative?" is that crazy a question. Yes, there's the obvious answer (you're not pregnant), but one might assume the intention of the question is "Are there reasons why a pregnancy test would be negative even if the woman were pregnant?" Pregnancy tests aren't 100% accurate, after all, so someone might have just wanted to know what factors might throw one off.

    In fact, most of the questions in this article are pretty valid questions that I can understand a person wanting the answer to. "Am I going into labor?" Well it's not necessarily immediately obvious, and there's even such a thing as "false labor". "Why would a married man cheat?" It's a valid question, and I bet there are interesting scientific studies that try to address the question.

    Man you just KILLED my buzz. Maybe you should stay off the idle section.

  15. Re:No, they didn't on EMI Sues Beatles Usurper Off the Net · · Score: 1

    >> The true evil here is that the Beatles' music should be in the public domain by now; they broke up in 1971, almost forty years ago. You should be able to reuse their art in your own art by now; that was, in fact, the whole purpose of giving Congress the power to write copyright law in the first place.

    yes, the moral defense is better than the technical one.

    is anyone currently using the moral defense for work where copyright should have expired by now?

  18. therapy on Murderer With "Aggression Genes" Gets Reduced Sentence · · Score: 1

    So then the question becomes:

    Should you continue your current life without murderous tendencies but with the possibility of a longer sentence OR hedge your bets by electing for gene therapy to introduce the aggression gene while reducing your sentence if you do kill someone?

  19. Re:They're comparing apples to crabapples on AT&T Sues Verizon Over "Map For That" Ads · · Score: 1

    >> What Verizon appears to be describing as 3G service on their super-red map is CDMA (1x), which is actually closer in speed to AT&T's EDGE network (2.5G)
