  1. Re:What they're really saying with this story on US Ability To Identify Source of Nuclear Weapons Decays · · Score: 0, Troll

    Made perfect sense to me. Who is the only country to detonate a nuke in attack?
    Hint: They are also the first country to detonate two nukes in a single attack.

    Overkill much? The US was just pissed (like 9/11) that they got caught with their pants down at Pearl Harbour.

    Yeah but with AT&T, the entire US continent is a low signal area.

    More than likely. Google has the data, and if they update street view every couple of years, they will get repeated improved data.

    Chances are someone has already been there. There is very little that hasnt already been mapped to good detail.

    The stunning camera in the N900 also has a real focus. Sometimes it actually makes a thunk noise.
    Also you can alter the focus settings with two taps.

    Erm I kinda like having my computer with its internet connection.

    Oh wait. Wind and solar power cant produce enough power to keep them going?
    Bye bye internet. Do you realise how much power Google uses alone?

    Remember that these idiots are wanting to ditch coal power, refuse to use nuclear (wtf?) and if everyone cant power their lives off a small pinwheel then your being wasteful.

  8. Re:Fragmentation is mostly FUD on Android Compatibility and Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Erm the N900 is Nokia's development platform for Meego until the next hardware version.

    There is already Meego for the N900, although it doesnt quite function as a phone yet.

  9. Re:Fragmentation is mostly FUD on Android Compatibility and Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Thats why I'm going for a N900 rather than a Android or iPhone.

    The future has turned out to be Meego and there will be very well supported versions of it for the N900 (if not official).
    So its a phone which will continue to get upgrades.

    That plus you can tinker with it completely. :)
    Want a new kernel? Sure.

    They already have. They contribute patches to many open source projects including Ubuntu which their version of Linux is based off.

    And half their employees already use Linux. The remaining 50% is split between Windows and Mac.

  12. Re:2010... security maybe on Google Reportedly Ditching Windows · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If they locked Windows up securely, all their employees would change operating systems anyway.

    You have to get pretty draconian to stop a targeted attack like the Chinese one.
    I hear Googlers enjoy having a network cable connected to their computer.

    I didnt say it wasnt impossible. I only explained how Ki works.

  19. Re:It may be illegal.. on Investigators Replicate Nokia 1100 Banking Hack · · Score: 3, Informative

    In a hash function as a challenge response.

    The tower sends a chunk of data, its sent to the SIM, its then transformed by Ki and then sent back to the tower.
    The tower knows what Ki is and does the same transformation and verifies that the reply is the same.

    The Government has the NSA advising it, so no weak encryption would be used.

    But it wasnt encrypted in the first place which shows that they were lazy, but not *completely* incompetent.

    Wait what? What major encryption algorithms have been cracked in the last 15 years or been computationally overpowered?

    MD5 has had a few weaknesses found, but nothing has broken it completely.
    Stuff like RSA have been around for 35 years and are still uncracked.

    I use Quassel.

    It comes in two halves, one half connects to irc, the second half connects to the first half.
    So I'm constantly online, and I can access it where ever I am.

    Oh and it doesnt send images around. :P
