  4. Re:i don't understand this election software stuff on Australian Voting Software Goes Closed Source · · Score: 1

    use CD-R instead of flash cards, each CD-R is serialed and signed before being sent out to make sure the disc in the machine is the one at the counting office

  8. Re:couldn't he just.... on Alabama IT Whistleblower Fired For Spyware · · Score: 1

    i did not intend to imply that windows couldn't (elsewhere i suggested that being unable to lock out a windows game should disqualify someone from a windows admin job) I was simply countering the arguement that all the programs get mixed together, since they can still be locked.

  9. Re:couldn't he just.... on Alabama IT Whistleblower Fired For Spyware · · Score: 1

    but in unix setting a program to be locked out to non-root is fairly simple.

  13. Re:We've seen this before in the PC card market on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    i have rather good ears and i don't get any interferance on my eMachines computer with Realtek AC97 integrated sound, perhapse you should get a better motherboard (the crystal audio sound cards do suck, i've had to get a real card due to random blasts of squeals and beeps)

  14. Re:How about just a phone that works? on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    i think you can still get the Nokia 518x series phones if you look around, my 5185i is old and unreliable so i am looking to replace it with a 3589i, unfortunately nokia seems to have done away with the up/down nav, cancel layout phones, i really did like that better than the Up,Down,Left,Right,A,B,connect, hangup layout

    the DMCA does not cover "pissing off someone by releasing unauthorized modifications" the DMCA covers "releasing unauthorized modifications which allow a user to circumvent copy protection" Apple has no case, though it would be legal for them to break Real's software with an immediate update.

  19. Re:The solution: on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    or how about use existing laws on electronic fraud and larceny to prosecute, it would be fairly easy for an antenna in the store to "listen" for anyone sending out a reprogram signal, and even be able to triangulate where they are, point a security cmera that way and set off a silent alarm in the security office, that way the police would be waiting for the perp before they even get to the checkout, also use existing vandalism laws on anyone messing with the tags without intent to defraud (IE, set the toothbrushes to scan as TV's)
