    hmm... since a virus scanner really does sometimes have to interrupt the user, perhapse something combining the firefox focus timer to prevent ninja-clicks (window pops with button under your mouse as you click) and some sort of system to prevent accidental unwanted keyboard input, perhaps something that must be traced out with the mouse similar to the Castlevania DS seals, except made hard to screw up but impossible to accidentally complete while doing something else and not paying attention to the screen

    for just that reason i have gaim text replacement to auto-star out my credit card number and various passwords, if someone has user level access with full credentials in order to read my NTFS encrypted %user%\.gaim\ directory i am pretty much pwned anyways, and i have almost entered sensative info into a chat, which is what caused me to implement this in the first place

    try foxit reader, it's much better than acrobat i have been using it for months with no problems at all and much faster loading of PDFs

    it also doesn't try to register as a browser plugin leaving you with two sets of toolbars and a notecard's worth of space to read your PDF.

  11. Re:cracking this would be useful on Totally Random One Time Pads · · Score: 1

    it uses only one source, in between the two counters, just the source is closer to one than the other, and a neutron absorbing sphere around the system could protect against outside emmisions and reflections (does neutron radiation reflect?)


    no need to use multiple entropy sources, radioactive decay is completely unpredictable on the atom scale, and counters detect individual decays.

    it falls apart because if you are going to transmit quasar locations you may as well send a moderately beefy symmetric key.

  13. Re:cracking this would be useful on Totally Random One Time Pads · · Score: 1

    two geiger counters, one wired to every tick advance the position of the system pointer by one, the other is set to flip the bit at the sytem counter, the radioactive source is closer to the flip bit counter in order to ensure an oppurtunity for many flips and reduce the odds of a suden burst in advances resulting in a long string of nulls.

    the PSP is ahead in every single technical aspect: computational power, graphic capabilites, etc.

    in some cases running a program from a compressed volume can be faster than running uncompressed (cpu relatively fast compared to disk access rate and data the program uses is not stored in a compressed form)

  24. Re:To some extent, it does. on Homeland Security Okays Closed Proceedings · · Score: 1

    you are mistaken. Security by obscurity refers to using a secret method of protection which, once discovered will become a threat to all using that method of security.

    for example public key cryptography is not security by obscurity, but Flash DRM media stream is. there is theoretically nothing standing between the potential attacker and the target, merely a bit of debugging and/or traffic sniffing.

    that test fails to account for the fact that people get better at a task over time. it's results will be to show what the designers wanted to prove, that people are better at sorting old and bad vs young and good, but the results will be meaningless because it is a junk study
