A guy goes into a 7-11 in Detroit and robs the place, taking $37.50 and a carton of Kool menthols after shooting the clerk twice in the chest. What is the skin color of the robber?
Black or Asian, there are not any white people left in Detroit.
Quite right. In summary: none of us here in the peanut gallery have any real way to know who did what. Most of the opinions I've seen here seem to reflect whatever biases each opiner may have. The known facts are few and far between. Of course, I have my own opinions but I won't share them because they reflect my own biases.
This thing is a bit like an Agatha Christie mystery. You may be certain who did it, but you don't really know until Christie tells you. Then you invariably find out you were wrong. Even the strategy of picking the least likely culprit doesn't work. Unfortunately, in this case, we don't have the author to tell us the "truth", so we likely will never know.
So, with TOR basically compromised, are you willing to personally take on the "rights holders" and their lawyers? Think they will not knock on your door and explaine that the assholes that make the laws are willing to grind you into the dirt?
Go for it. As for me? I haven't seen a movie in years that's worth it...
Almost certainly the US Three Letter Agencies as well as foreign intel have known about this flaw - and how to leverage it - for a long time. Clearly, tor is not secure and hasn't been for awhile.
A 100% "open" phone is only important to a small minority of phone buyers. Such a phone would not give Kodak any kind of significant market share based on that alone. A better camera *might* do something for sales, but really, Kodak's days are over.
Perhaps they should have focused on high-end image platforms to compete with Canon and Nikon?
I think that at this point in the technology, materials science in not yet at a place where a metal object built as a composite of liquid or powdered material could take the same stresses that a drop-forged or milled object can. But it's a matter of time...
When International Space Station Commander Barry Wilmore needed a wrench, NASA knew just what to do. They "e-mailed" him one.
They make it sound like "Woah! I need a wrench and I don't have it! What ever will I do?"
Clearly, however, this was a fully planned experiment, and it is doubtful that the wrench was used a the sole tool for some important fix. The wrench will come back with the crew and be studied in a laboratory as I'm sure was planned from the beginning.
Impressive none the less,but let's be honest here.
I got the "in pristine condition" from http://www.military.com/daily-..., which is one of the links in the summary. I would think that they should know.
Military.com may not have the latest information. I work for the DoD in the Puget Sound area, and know a number of worker bees at Bremerton, and they have a different opinion.
âoeWe would have liked to have seen it become a museum, but it just wasnâ(TM)t in the cards,â Navy spokesman Chris Johnson told FoxNews.com. âoeBut unfortunately, it is a difficult proposition to raise funds. The group that was going to collect donations had a $35 million budget plan but was only able to raise $100,000.â
...and...
The Ranger will have to be towed to International Shipbreakingâ(TM)s facility on the Gulf of Mexico from the pacific bit since it is too large for passage through the Panama Canal, it will have to be towed down and around South America. The voyage is anticipated to take up to five months.
Johnson said that the tow will come at no cost to the Navy and the International Shipbreakers is currently drafting a towing plan and will absorb the costs.
A historic ship both in the actual theater of war and in the movie memories of the general public, in pristine condition and one penny is the best they can do, for a gross weight of 56000 TONS??
First, the Navy tried for many years to interest groups with the idea of turning it into a museum, but no one could come up with tho money to fund such a project.
Second, there are considerable problems that have to be mitigated when breakining up such a ship. They can't just sell it to some third world country where it would be "beached" and dismantled by locals in an environmentally hazardous way. The ship almost certainly contains many tons of hazardous materials such as asbestos, and various noxious fluids, all of which must be safely removed and disposed of.
Third, where ever it is disposed of, it has to be towed there, not an insignificant expense.
The Navy got a deal spaying one cent to dispose of it.
The South made peace with NK? when did this happen? Clearly you have never been to South Korea. There is an armistice but they are certainly not at "peace". Indeed a few years ago NK shelled an island controlled by the South.
You can buy cat-5 and cat-6 by the foot @ Lowes (and Home Depot), the connectors and crimping tool can be had for cheap and are basically one-time expenses. Why would you go to Best Buy or Amazon for such a thing?
Use multi-joint barbell exercises like squats and deadlifts. They build bone density and stave off the effects of osteoporosis.
Seriously? You are suggesting weight training to Slashdotters? Well, I suppose they could order the weights on-line and have them delivered to the basement, but could mom carry them down the stairs?

You go to a Google site, expect to be tracked. If it's an issue to you, don't do to a Google site.

How does this stunt make the world a better place? I just don't like online vigilantism. I also hate Guy Fawkes masks.
And remember, these are not "hackers", they are "security researchers".

I know, it's a cop-out.
Reality and all...
Mod parent up.
Ok, Ok, how's this?
What if you were driving down the road, and lost control of your car, and plowed into an onion patch?
How may onions have to be run over for the field to considered compromised?
Depends on the number of onion plants. If it's around 6000 onion plants, maybe around 3000 or so?
And you better be driving a big 'ol redneck Haus pickup truck with a cow catcher on the bumper.
Malicious exit nodes do not per se compromise TOR...
What other obvious use would there be?
I need a car analogy, damn it...
Keep believing your US Government honeypot is "secure". The rest of us will be laughing when you get arrested for browsing your pedo sites.
Considering the type of attack in question, tor can be anyone's honeypot.
That it is "sold" as something like a "darknet" is shameful.
Almost certainly the US Three Letter Agencies as well as foreign intel have known about this flaw - and how to leverage it - for a long time. Clearly, tor is not secure and hasn't been for awhile.

The same could be said for flying car science.
Flying cars don't solve any pressing issues. In fact just the concept creates many more problems than it could ever "solve".
Nice proof of concept though.
Indeed!

Who else could possibly have done this? Only cyberbogeymen could have been quite this evil, obviously.
It was those pesky North Koreans, of course...

And no, it was not in "pristine condition".
For (I'm so sorry) Fox News:

Whooooooooosh!
Or perhaps the stereotype hit too close to home?
That is also true about the US too
And this has exactly what to do with the possiblity that NK did the Sony hack? Not much if anything.
