  1. Re:Those who would give up essential Liberty... on Majority of Americans OK With Warrantless Internet Surveillance (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Calm, please. It's just a paraphrased quote from the movie "Men in Black" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. IP-Based Banning on a Dynamic Network? on BitHammer, the BitTorrent Banhammer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Right, so someone comes in, gets an IP address via DHCP, turns on BitTorrent and gets banned 'as long as the program [BitHammer] is running'. Rinse, lather, repeat: now you have no traffic on your network, because all IP addresses in your subnet are on the banlist. Niiiiice.

  3. Re:It's not like they've had 5 months to fix it... on Heartbleed To Blame For Community Health Systems Breach · · Score: 1

    It was: http://www.freebsd.org/securit.... FreeBSD has OpenSSL in the base system, but can simultaneously have a different version installed via the ports system. Make sure you update both.

  4. Conservatives and ID Cards on Emigrating To a Freer Country? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Interesting that two of your concerns about the UK are mandatory ID cards and a future Conservative government, given that the two are mutually exclusive.

  5. Re:Encryption on UK Gov't Lost Personal Data On 4M People In One Year · · Score: 1

    Simple: they've outsourced data management and retrieval. The encryption service costs extra, and goverment departments with squeezed budgets are cutting corners.

  6. Conflicting Messages? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Doesn't this kind of aggravate the environmental problem that simply 'throwing out' old PCs poses? Whoever wrote TFA should think a little more before publishing such irresponsible drivel.

  7. Re:Choice quotation on Gates v. Jobs, continued... · · Score: 3, Informative

    AAC may be an open standard, but the DRM Apple wraps it up with isn't. An open standard that can't be openly inspected is no better than a proprietary solution.

  8. Re:The problem appears to be... on New Linux Kernel Crash-Exploit discovered · · Score: 1

    Not truly SMP, but it locks up one of the cores of a hyper-threaded P4 with 100% system time. The other is unaffected. It's also possible to renice the process. This was with an SMP vanilla 2.6.6 kernel on Gentoo.

  9. Re:how many sdk? on Symbian OS 7.0s Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    Depends on what mobile phone you go for: Symbian only runs on a fraction of those available. The most prominent of these are the Nokia 9210 and 7650 phones, which run Symbian 6.0 and 6.1, respectively. They have different UIs (with the 7650 using the more widely used Series 60), and different SDKs (although each uses an implementation of PersonalJava and the same basic style of C++). The SDKs--including release and debug emulators--are free for download (registration required), but the OS itself, while listed as 'open' is only semi-open to businesses that fork out for the rather expensive partnership programs.
