    regular email transferred over SSL is like a sealed envelope

  2. Re:It's not that simple on Deleting Personal Data from Private Institutions? · · Score: 1

    the simple answer is unless there are problem notes on your record, purging it should be allowed by the company as a matter of good customer service.

    keep a seperate deadbeats database of former customers you no longer want to do business with.

  3. SMB on Sony and Universal Prohibit Sharing Via Zune · · Score: 1

    MS should have made the zune a simple MP3 player with wifi and SMB sharing. that way it could share between windows PC's and not deal with any DRM bullshit. throw in a wireless chat application that worked with a stylus and they could have had a successful product instead of a steaming turd

  4. Re:What Office 2007 delivers... on Is it Time for Open Office? · · Score: 1

    perhaps microsoft has seen the light and realized that in the long term providing useful systems that work with whatever your customer is using will do better than trying to strongarm your customers into buying only from you.

    if all your focus is on "synergy" you have to rely on a chain of applications, and if a single link isn't strong enough the chain breaks and the customer does far less business with you because the rest of your applications are neutered badly when working with third party systems.

    when you sell each part on it's own merits and make them easy to interoperate with, a single component not meeting your customer's needs simply means they don't buy that component and continue to use the rest.

    or you could make it in OOo and use the native PDF export to send a version that will look perfect on whatever system it is opened on, rather than exploding when the print margins are off by a quarter inch.

    document those structures, then if the HOA goes after you, you can (IIRC, IANAL) get the entire HOA agreement dissolved for breech of contract, or selective enforcement, or something like that.

  7. Re:Free Trade means Me Trade on FBI Arrests Neteller Execs · · Score: 1

    actually it has to do with casino lobbyists, remember jack abramoff(sp?)? he was in deep with the casinos, among others.

    fortunately the congress fell to the democrats and the worst of the bullshit should be winding down soon.

  9. Re:Tourist Mecca on FBI Arrests Neteller Execs · · Score: 1

    the businesses were doing business online. it is the responsability of the person in a given country to follow the laws, not the responsibility of a service provider to determine the laws of every single country and analyse each connection to find out what country it is from.

    if the US was seriouis about internet gambling they would confiscate all incoming transfers of money from the casinos while doing nothing to attack the sites themselves.

    when word gets out that uncle sam won't let you keep your winnings if you are an american most people will quit. sure some will set up offshore accounts to circumvent this, but that would be far more work than most gamblers would be willing to go through to play some poker.

    a few years ago this was a big deal and everyone was worried that the government was going to use radiation emitted by CRT monitors to reconstruct what was on the screen, people even made special fonts that minimized this by blurring and breaking up the edges of glyphs.

    then LCD's became cheap enough for just about anyone to buy.

    i wonder if these machines use a CRT monitor

  13. learn on Is it Possible to Age Yourself Out of a Job? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    read a lot of programming books and learn as many useful programming languages as you can. even if you don't want to be a senior developer, you can still be the guy everyone goes to when something has to be done right.

    when searching for a job if you think they will overestimate your salary requirements be upfront about what you expect to make to eliminate that problem.

    pocketgamer can go to hell, Guilty Gear DS is fun, we need more classic style fighter games.

  15. Re:We just want to see zee papers on Political Bloggers May Be Forced to Register · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i don't recall the part in the constitution where it said "shall not be infringed, unless blatently inappropriate"

    restricting the right of a person to, for any reason, address the public regarding an issue is extremely dangerous territory.

    some jackass astroturfing political issues doesn't present a clear and present danger and so it should not be restricted.

    there was a bug in the game. if you let a guard chase you through a door, shut it and stand part way blocking the door. as soon as it starts to open the head pokes through the door and you can hit the model with your blackjack, but the line of sight test to make sure you KO with the blackjack tests from the other side of the door and so you can KO dozens of guards in a row at a door.

    TEMPEST type attacks will end up as a last resort way to pull the keys. the same thing will work with Trusted Computing modules. place a series of antenna against the chip an "listen" as it works. then you analyse the results and determine the key. depending on how easy this part is it will either be relegated to release groups with personnelle experienced enough to do it, or it could be deployed as a solderless "mod chip" that anyone willing to take the risk of ordering one from overseas can sell the service of ripping keys for whatever the market will bear. once you get the keys out of a TPM you can emulate the whole trusted computing stack in software no problem.
