  1. Security, VeriChip on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 1

    It seems like they are using VeriChip rfid-chips.
    (Reminds me of some other Veri**** named company..)

    Brochure (pdf)

    Seems like there are no public key/private key type security features in the chip.
    I wonder how they expect it to be secure against copying..

  2. Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons on Factory Testing of Airborne Laser Cannon Completed · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought USA had signed a protocol that bans or at least makes the use of these types of weapons a possible war crime.

    I can't read your document in Linux because it's in exe-format you insensitive clod!

  5. ISP firewalls on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    My ISP thinks that it's responsible for the safety of it's customers, so as a default, almost all of the ports are blocked. And if you have a _very_ good reason, then you can have ports like 80, ssh and ftp opened. But you can't have all the ports open. That sucks. Officially you maybe could get all the ports opened, but it requires a very very very good reason, such as a work that depends on that. BTW, p2p is not a good reason. I personally have been able to do almost what ever I want, as long as I abuse the port numbers, so that I give programs just a next open one. I hope this will never be a common practise.

  6. Why always US? on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean, why haven't I heard of this kind of things happening anywhere else? I mean, what's wrong with you american people?

  7. Finland on Sony's Cashless Smart Card Catching on in Japan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hoping to comment the right post this time..

    We've had those smart cards in use in Finland for many years now. Most are city-specific, so you can't use them outside that particular city they are for. The uses for those smartcards are in electrical identification, so you don't need usernames and passwords, only a card and a pin number (and a cardreader), and mass transportation. You can also pay your purchases in some shops with those cards. Some can be read from a distance, so you don't have to take them out your wallet.
