  7. Well i could. on Can Terrorists Build a Nuclear Bomb? · · Score: 1

    Unrefined uranium is legal to acquire, and can be refined via a centerfuse or failing that spining a fucking bucket over your head. Although it would take along time to do it inconspicuosly (buying 3 tons of unrefined uranium may cause a few problems) it is certainly possible, and thats assuming they don't just steal the weapons or refined uranium. Isreal developed its nuclear program by stealing from the americans, you really think it would be that hard for a guy with a sniper rifle to kill the driver of the correct truck?

  8. Re:Easy Tiger! on Google Gets Away With What Microsoft Couldn't · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of microsofts shitty 'msn toolbar' you are not forced to download it, I'm not even sure what it does (if anything), but i've never heard anyone complain about it, BECAUSE YOU ARE N0T FORCED TO USE IT. Microsoft's attempt at spyware protection, i'm sure it sucks but its not rammed down our throat.

  19. Re:Biometrics on MS Employee Calls for No More Passwords · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its already been proved that fingerprints can be faked in a test environtment. For local security purposes, the lock would most likely be bypassable, and in some kinda remote 'send your fingerprint' authentication mechanism, it would have to have a pretty large fudge-factor to prevent a slight differences (caused by smudges, cuts and such) from making the authentication denied. It would most likely be possible to create an algorithm to attempt to crack the authentication mechanism by simply trying different lines.

  20. Quote list on MS Employee Calls for No More Passwords · · Score: 1

    So.... basicly you try 10000 famous quotes with your password cracker.... If its something you can remember theres a good chance it famous enough to be put on a list.

  21. Re:Wait a second.... on Accessories for Mac mini · · Score: 1

    No chance. A more user friendly interface does not make it the worlds most advanced OS. Linux or freebsd certainly have more power then MacOSX (or in the case of BSD at least equal). MacOSX of cource does have user friendlyism coupled with a nice powerful BSD base-- but it makes no advancments on the BSD portion of the OS, and the rest of it is not advanced its merely ease of use.

  22. Re:Wait a second.... on Accessories for Mac mini · · Score: 1

    I see no major advancments over BSD in Macosx. Don't get me wrong there a plenty of superficial additions. But no advancments, I mean honestly a gui version of grep? Making a claim of being the worlds most advance when you take another another operating system and make no advancments is just incorrect.
