  1. Re:Chinese? on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Every time I hear this 'blame the foreigners' thing it's always misdirection away from the main problem. Here's how I interpret it: * Conspicuous LACK of police until the incidents were over / too late. Yes, Japanese police are lazy, but this was over the top. * Japanese 'businessmen' a block away in the alley, getting piles of PS3s and handing out cash. * Chinese touts [read, cannon fodder] getting money at the last minute 'from their friends'. Face it. Most of the Japanese 'bosses' and businessmen were probably Yakuza. This wasn't a game launch, this was money laundering, Japanese style. And Sony provided the product. I'm sure eBay Japan will help with the transfers. Heads should roll. But they won't because this is business as usual over there.

  2. Um try 'anon coward' / 'anon spammer'. on Reconnaissance In Virtual Space · · Score: 1

    This 'tip' was marketing spam. Gee. This article reminds me of the 'informative email' I get from Spamis with spoofed headers to and from me. Can slashdot STOP these 'anonymous reader' tips before we start getting not only comment spam, but article spam?

  3. Re:Secure virtual memory? on Tiger's 200 New Features · · Score: 3, Informative

    Um, you're missing something.

    1/ FV Encrypts the user's /home directory.

    2/ Secure VM encrypts the /swap directory

    So, the activities of the FV'd user (and others, and system process) that have been committed to /swap are all encrypted.

    There -was- a flap on /. some weeks ago that FV was a moot point because the swap was raw data. That is not an issue with Tiger.
