  1. Re:DaisyChain on Ask Slashdot: Simple Way To Backup 24TB of Data Onto USB HDDs ? · · Score: 2

    Actually 8x4 TB disks will do it, with the overhead etc, giving you 24.96 TB usable space.

    An 8 drive DroboPro with 3 TB disks might just about do it.

    I can get close to that on my .11n network.

    I don't know what the hell kind of compiler you're using to generate these crufty executables, but GCC produces the exact same binaries for source with comments vs source code without.

    Or am I missing a joke here?

  6. Re:Super-fast is a bit of a misnomer on JavaScript Decoder Plays MP3s Without Flash · · Score: 1

    What? Java has ALWAYS been compiled down to bytecode, even Oak was like this - the virtual machine that runs said bytecode is a core feature of the platform. Java was NEVER an interpreted language.

  7. Re:Dreamweaver on Ask Slashdot: Web Site Editing Software For the Long Haul? · · Score: 1

    I'm a tad confused about your comment re: chefs and awesome ingredients - if you have good ingredients, it's pretty easy to make good food. With mediocre ingredients you need a lot of skill to make good food..

  8. Re:makes sense on RMS Cancels Lectures In Israel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unlike the Israelis who don't get any foreign funding whatsoever, especially not for weapons. Nope, perish the thought.

    An invite can also be used as a noun, it's perfectly accepted usage.

    You fail the Internets. (Hint: Iceland != Finland)

  11. Re:Why does encryption never work? on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    My bad, didn't get that you were replying to that.

    And yes, 256-bit RSA is trivially decrypted, has been for quite a while.

  12. Phone _hardware_ or the backup images? on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    From my reading of their FAQ, it seems that this tool can be used to decrypt the encrypted backup images that iTunes takes when syncing the phone, not the phones themselves.

    Am I wrong? If it's the backup images, then I see the potential attack vector as slightly less serious as an iPhone is usually a lot easier to lose / have stolen from you than the machine you sync it with.

  13. Re:Why does encryption never work? on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    They ARE talking about AES. No one uses asymmetric encryption for large amounts of data, due to its slow speed.

  15. Re:Why is it being removed in the first place? on Sony Should Pay For OtherOS Removal, Says Finnish Board · · Score: 1

    The parent stated that he couldn't find a Bluray player for his laptop at all - free or commercial. I don't know whether there are free Bluray players out there for Windows, possibly not - but that wasn't what I was replying to.

  16. Re:Why is it being removed in the first place? on Sony Should Pay For OtherOS Removal, Says Finnish Board · · Score: 2

    Yup. There are no Bluray players for Windows, especially none that are found by doing a google search for "blu ray player windows" and called PowerDVD 11.

    Yours is clearly a total lack of a sense of humour.

  19. Re:OS X Corollary? on Five of the Best Free Linux Disk Encryption Tools · · Score: 1

    Erm, even the author of that states that these issues are now fixed with Snow Leopard and recommends against using EncFS on OS X.

    Also, you can't use EncFS on your whole home dir as it doesn't support some extended attributes that OS X relies on.

    Well both our countries enjoy undercooked fish and are addicted to bath houses, so the difference isn't that huge really.
