    How can you do a phone home on an airgapped system?

    I sysadmined a red network at one point, and there was no way in hell I could have put anything on it that needed to phone home to the Internet.

    Well, I could, but then I'd have had a not-so-nice all expenses paid trip to Fort Leavenworth.

    I have not been waiting for this day.

    I will never -- NEVER -- buy any equipment manufactured by Sony. Sony has been on my shit list since the Rootkit Fiasco. The GeoHotz issue just cemented my resolve even further.

  10. Re:What? on HP Spinning Off WebOS and Exiting Hardware Business · · Score: 1

    apple makes most of the money in the PC market. HP and dell mostly sell the cheap no profit machines.

    Which would you rather have? $100 each from one thousand people, or $1 each from one million people?

    I'm guessing he assumes it take 0.1 seconds to come to a full stop from 10m/s.

    (10m/s)/(0.1s) = 100m/s^2 == 10g's.

  12. Re:Touch typing defense on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 2

    I picked up this habit after working in a classified area with a cipher lock.
    After I'd enter the cipher, I'd swipe my fingers over all the buttons to make it harder for a potential bad guy to analyze the wear/fingerprint patterns on the lock.

  18. Re:we need to dissolve DHS on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    I know squat about the Russian language, so I'll trust your translation.

    Either way, the fact that NOBODY in Congress saw the parallel is disturbing.

  20. Re:we need to dissolve DHS on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    It's not a 1984-ish name. It's worse.

    KGB stood for "Ministry for State Security".

    We don't have "Ministries", we have "Departments". Given the name parallels, I'm truly shocked that Congress actually named it that.
