  6. Not sure, if that is a bad thing or not.. on ICANN Gives VeriSign 36 Hours to Pull Sitefinder · · Score: 0

    Well.. Sitefinder is bad_thing(tm).. But, somehow, I am against finding solution with involving word 'sue, lawers' etc. World we live in is not perfect - make things completely decentralized - chaos. Centralized - tyrany.. Rant rant rant...

  7. Can't help it... on Bruce Schneier on Security Tradeoffs · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Q: How do you try to live up to these security principles in your own life? I remember reading that due to flaws in computer security you carry around pass codes on strips of paper. A: That's not because of computer-security flaws, it's because I can't remember all the passwords I need to have. My wallet is already a secure container; it has valuable things in it, and I have a lifetime of experience keeping it safe. Adding a piece of paper with my passwords seems like a natural thing to do. I try to make my security tradeoffs consciously and willingly, as much as possible. I don't worry about locking the back door of my house much of the time because I know the risk of burglary is slight. I never locked my car door until I got one of those remote electronic locks. Before, the tradeoff wasn't worth it, but now it is. I don't give a second thought to terrorism when I travel. I'm generally trusting of people. And I remember that the bad things I hear about in the news are rare and hardly worth worrying about. I'd rather accept the slight risk of attack than constantly live in fear. It's much more pleasant.

    Am I only one, who finds this statement somehow amusing?
  8. In other news. on Review of the Archos AV320 Cinemabox · · Score: 3, Funny

    A fleet of rabid attack lawyers has been dispatched to the area regarding an alleged copyright infrigement. No comment on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.

  9. How exactly.. on The Distributed Library Project · · Score: 0

    am I supposed to "feel" if its safe or not?

    This only enforces problem with retrieval - because it will be always more naturally to assume, that borrowing your book to complete stranger isn't safe.

  10. Re:Decentralized? on The Distributed Library Project · · Score: 0

    That's exactly, what I was talking about. Should it be "sharing service" or "physical" library, the problems are.. mmm.. Cross-platform, perhaps? If inventory is in hands of users, how easy it should be to search it? What is ratio between ammount of people having Hairy Potter and people having Quantum Physics book? and finally - looking from searcher point of view its all ok, but not from sharer. Since, its physical distributed library, I doubt that I really want to share MY inventory. Therefore retreiving.. Is also problem.

  11. Decentralized? on The Distributed Library Project · · Score: 0

    Well.. It seems, to me that this looks exactly, as difference between centralized and decentralized P2P sharing. Well - almost =) Therefore, some problems come to mind: 1) Lousy search 2) Loads of garbage floating around 3) Unability to actually download found file. Did I miss something?

  12. Obligatory Beofulf comment on SCO Prepares To Sue Linux End Users · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just imagine Beofulf cluster of Darl McBrides.. That, would be a twist.

  13. In related news: on Russia Plans Martian Nuclear Station · · Score: 1

    Russia announced Doom 4, which should be ready.. Oh wait - by 2030?
