  1. Re:Diplomacy on Galileo System To Include Jamming Capability · · Score: 1

    That's funny and all but i do hope the american leadership realizes in time that there are no winners in a nuclear war. All of your huge navy, army and airforce is useless against a country with a single warhead and nothing to lose. Since the invasion of Iraq was considered a good option by the current US administration, maybe the ppl will force them to change their mind when the next invasion's price is New York.

    I sometimes wonder, if you took just 0.1% of that money and gave it to a random bunch of OSS developers, how much progress would come out of that.

    If only they had documented the damn thing, they wouldn't have to develop it twice!

    If they only posted it as an article linked on slashdot, it won't be read this time either.

    The exact same thing is done with IPv4 by all respectable ISPs.

    Then i guess i never had a respectable ISP.

  9. Re:IPv6 isn't just for bigger addresses on Dispelling the IPv4 Address Shortage Myth · · Score: 1

    I'd say that with IPv6 you can send up your wire ANY packet you want (at least with open source OS and drivers). However, packets with source IP's that don't match the subnet will probably be dropped at the routers.

    In that case, you are right.

  14. Re:Mod parent up on Developers Lose With Proprietary Software · · Score: 1

    Regardless of DMCA, the story was about a software development platform, from which new products were developed. They didn't lose their keys (or break their dongle), they needed to generate new keys and couldn't. New keys, if they can't generate them themselves, means they would have to pay for them. If they keygen-erate new keys without paying and base their efforts and business model in selling products with those keygen-erated keys as base, they risk losing their house when the bankrupt company's assets are autioned off somewhere and someone who ends up owning the source code sues them. It is one thing to crack the software you legally bought, it is another thing to risk your business in illegally generated keys. If they could legally generate keys, they would have the master keygen already.

  16. Re:Don't know about that... on First Napster 2.0 Review · · Score: 1

    The reason they get so many crashes and bring the system down is probably because the new napster intalls crap DRM drivers that crash at random. I totally understand and agree with your post, but this new breed of DRM-crap is not the memory-protected more-or-less buggy software we usually install.

  22. Re:A problem? on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    It's the service that picks the port, not the worm. Hence blocking by default services that have a known history of vulnerabilities (including port 80!) by default is the best. It must be widelly advertised, so as to not catch anyone by surprise, and it should be easy to be turned off at the isp's portal. If you want to run a server and you can't grasp the concept of opening a port at your isp's portal, you are also not opening it at your local firewall, i.e., you have no local firewall and you are sending me spam. Get out of the internet please.
