    Strangely enough, night time in Washington looks exactly like a color bar test signal.

    A better morph would be a cute chick icon if I'm drunk enough to think the cop is a cute chick. If I'm not drunk, the cop icon is just a cop.

    So...it's identical to just looking at the cop?

    Oh wait.

  8. Re:Break only affects carefully constructed messag on More on Newly Broken SHA-1 · · Score: 3, Informative
    And you only have to construct 2^69 different contracts with the same meaning.

    Creating pseudo-random numbers that hash to the same value != making any arbitrary document hash to the same value.

  9. Re:right... on MPAA Developing Digital Fingerprinting Technology · · Score: 1
    For a song, this means basing the fingerprint on the music's acoustical properties, rather than on the ones and zeros that make up a given digital file.

    I like the efficiency...you only need one fingerprint to recognize 90% of the RIAA's products.

  10. Re:Minor correction to the story: on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1
    Your example isn't even copyright infringement.

    When you copy something, and give it to someone else without the copyright holder's permission, that's copyright infringement. (and that isn't theft either.)

    >get stone
    Taken.

    With a headsplitting roar, the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal charges
    towards you.

    >put towel on head
    The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is completely bewildered. It is so dim it
    thinks that if you can't see it, it can't see you. You have a few seconds before
    it realises its mistake.

    >carve my name into sandstone
    You chip away with the stone. It's not your best writing, what with your
    mounting sense of panic and a towel wrapped around your head. However, it
    suffices...

    Just as the Beast is trying to work out where you've disappeared to, it suddenly
    sees your name freshly carved on its memorial of remembrance. Mystery solved. It
    realises it must have already eaten you in a fit of absent-mindedness. (Its mind
    is very very small and quite frequently absent.) It decides to give up the rest
    of its afternoon to the twin arts of digestion and contemplation. It settles
    down for a snooze.
  12. Re:Drawing Parallels on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 2, Funny
    The user interface for search is a text box with a submit button. Google did not invent it, and Google cannot lay claim to having "innovated it."

    Aha! But Google has two submit buttons!

  13. Re:me too ! on So You Want To Be A Consultant · · Score: 1
    Hold on there, large companies are MORE likely to try to get free time.

    which is exactly why they shouldn't be allowed to.

    The big company will try all sorts of things to get you to charge less, work for free, accept longer for payment, etc. Plus you go through 7 layers of management to get approval to be paid. And if you say "we have a contract that says..." they'll say "we have a lawyer who says..."

    That's not a big company, that's an abusive company. If I provide a service and get paid in scams and legal threats, I'm never working for them again.

    No, it's more like putting a sign in your window that says "Slash your tires if you love Jesus."

    If you want to use their ads on an ssl'd page, your users get a popup message telling them that not all elements are secured.

    As well they should. I'm certainly not going to trust a page that lets outsiders place [annoying] content into my "secure" session.

    Apple, dump AAC now.

    You'd have to talk to MPEG about that. And it's a superior format (except for, I presume, some licensing issues), so I'm not sure why they'd want to.

  22. Re:well something that gets progressivly easier on Linux Getting Harder To Crack · · Score: 1

    Telnet has always been safer as an exposed service, if for no other reason than its simplicity. SSH has a lot more code in it, maintains way too much control over the system, does complex internal processing on all data sent to it, has a nastier protocol...while telnet just sets up a virtual terminal and sends you on to system's login prompt. Apparently the creators thought "secure" only has to mean "encrypted"; it obviously doesn't say anything about the program's design.
