  1. Re:This reeks on Evolving Phishing Attacks Using Web Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    I fully agree with you. Preferably, in order for mailservers to accept mail you should have to be registered with community database of 4048 bit SSL public keys. That way as soon as a mailserver started sending out spam you'd just revoke their SSL certificate. No more zombie pcs sending out spam and phishing crap.

    His PhD on solid state physics makes him an as good criptography expert as my current grad on computer vision (at most). Want a proof? Read my post, his proposal is at least as flawed as quantum criptography.
    I read your post. His PhD is solidstate physics makes him more than qualified to talk about this sort of thing. You on the other hand are NOT. You don't even know what cryptography means OR how to spell it. This has nothing to do with cyphers and everything to do with setting up a physically secure communication link. Stop pretending to be an expert, and let real scientists do their work.
  6. Re:Why must non-cryptographers be so dumb? on Totally Secure Non-Quantum Communications? · · Score: 1

    It's called Quantum Cryptography, which has everything to do with secret messages. Usually, in order to keep the message secret some type of cipher is applied. That isn't always the case. There has been no misnomer

  7. Re:It is a bit like QC on Totally Secure Non-Quantum Communications? · · Score: 1

    This has less to do with noise, and more to do with the fact that the eavesdropper has no method of telling who's sending what. Read the abstract, the article doesn't even begin to do this method justice. And an inductive tap wouldn't do anything to help you figure out who's sending what. Here's the paper: http://www.arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0509136

    Damn, At least I'm not the only sane person here. It's pretty sad when everyone on slashdot thinks they're qualified to argue with someone who has a PhD in Solid State physics about his own damn field. Damn hilarious almost, but makes me mad.

    This guy is not some crackpot engineer with the last name Tilly. Do you think that PhDs in Solid State Physics are handed out for having a nice smile? You can start calling him naive when get a PhD in Solid State Physics.

  10. Re:So... on Totally Secure Non-Quantum Communications? · · Score: 1

    The resistor configuration is not constant in this scheme. It's what is being use to send the data. The recording doesn't help you, because you only new the resistor configuration for one bit, the bit when you "applied the current" to get the "information you needed." Unless somehow you plan to read the resistor's configuration for the last several hours of the conversation you recorded. That would be quite a trick.

  11. Re:What a fucking disaster on Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Insightful? How does this Microsoft excuse making, worthless Windows lover, get modded insightful? This is the most pathetic attept at an excuse for Microsoft I have seen in a long time. They're supposed to test and fix their crap before they ship it. If it isn't ready, they shouldn't be selling it. Take your head out of your bunghole and quit making excuses. You wouldn't accept this from any other company. Microsoft's QA has always been unacceptable. Always!

    Funny, I said exactly this during the last slashdot article about this sort of thing. I got flamed to hell and back by a bunch of naysayers. At least there are some sane people in the world.

  17. Microsoft Already get's paid more than once.... on How Many Times Should We Pay For Our Software? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft already charges many people several times for a copy of windows by restricting OEM versions it to specific models of hardware. Many people I know have bought several dells since windows XP came out. Every time they have to buy a new copy of windows. Not to mention the several academic facilities I've worked at which have site licenses for windows. Every time they purchase new hardware they get to buy OEM copies of windows with it, which promptly get erased.

    That's an absurd argument. The point is that once the material "died" the amount of C-14 entering it's system stopped, thus the initial ratio is whatever it was when the poor thing died. How can you possibly calibrate it unless you know how old it was to begin with?

    Cold air in the winter time is not going to be very humid. I suggest you get a hygrometer and test it. You'll probably find the air inside is more humid than outside air.
