Well I feel like I've achieved something - the hivemind was clearly very confused by this post.
That's not fair. From his Wikipedia page he seems to be obsessed with finding ways to man in the middle SSL connections so he can present them at Black Hat conferences and allow people to commercialise the for as long as possible before they are fixed.
Where would we be as a society if that it were possible for people to make secure SSL connections to their banks for example? That would be a nightmarish world where it would be impossible to redistribute income from the first world bourgeoisie to more worthy informal entrepreneurs in impoverished countries like China, Eastern Europe or Nigeria.
I think he's doing socially very useful work. I'd recommend a prize for him, except he's probably not short of cash.
I'm amazed no one has invented a "Compiler HTML" format. You'd take HTML, run it through a compiler on the web server and spit out some compact binary representation of the page. I know people with forums that serve GBs of text every day - compiled HTML would cut their bandwidth costs significantly at the cost of more CPU time on the server. Or the HTML compiler machine could be a proxy in front of another server running PHP generated HTML. It's fetch pages and cache the compiler version and serve that. You'd need an open standard for compiled HTML and browser support of course and that would take time.
Then again maybe gzipping the page is almost as good and it works on all browsers.
I don't attend parties (LAN or otherwise) that are hosted by someone I don't know, I've never been into the club or bar scene, and during any "compromising" situation I'm in, I'm generally surrounded by people just as paranoid about it as I am.
I guess it all depends on your social circle and where you spend your leisure time, but it isn't as hard as people make it out to be.
When you find out your PayPal account has been deleted and your bank accounts and credit cards have all been frozen, you'll have less time to complain on the 'net.
Assuming they do, it might be interesting to hold a Slashdot Poll on who we think it is.
I'd say John Katz the guy that wrote all those horrid articles about "the post 9/11 world". Probably he wanted to flush out the subversives so they could be HUNTED by the FBI/CIA/etc.
If you commented on one of his articles and got modded up, best avoid the Middle East unless you're really a terrorist. In which case you've got some information to give the local government's interrogators to make them stop.
Now Microsoft is the only one who can sell a product that uses a GPU to encode video, a situation that doesn't give me a great deal of hope for the progress of anything.
I'm actually in the US and I've used a Ford Focus and Hyundai Sonata. The Sonata is a 'compact' in the US but it's much larger than a Golf for example.
The Ford got about 30mpg on the highway, the Sonata seems similar but it doesn't have an mpg readout.
Now compare to the Golf. Golfs in the UK come with a bunch of different engines
The US seems to only get Golfs with 30mpg on the highway. Admittedly the Golf in the UK is vastly expensive, but that's because cars are always expensive in the UK - the Bluemotion TDI Golf isn't much more expensive than the cheapest ones.
Mind you even the worst Golf engine in the UK manages 54mpg. That's superb by US standards.
Even more fun was the time that the Navy stirred up a bunch of crap with our shipping guys because they sent a single 1149 for a shipment of a couple thousand CDs which spanned a number of boxes instead of one invoice form for each box. For the next delivery, the guys made sure there was an 1149 for each of the 600 CDs in that shipment.:-)
Have you ever tried to setup a person as a non-Administrator on Windows XP Home? Microsoft purposely hobbled that OS to make it impossible to work with the system like an administrator should be able to. At least it is getting better, from what I've heard about Windows Vista Home and 7 Home. (So I've heard. I stopped supporting Home versions of Microsoft operating systems after the headaches caused by XP Home.)
I run as non admin on XP home? What's the hobbling?

Naah, I was implying that he sells the exploits he finds before he demos them.
There are probably people willing to pay big bucks for that sort of thing.

Mars will become a real hotbed of file system research.
A lunar colony could mine Helium 3, which is handy stuff if fusion becomes commonplace.
Mind you I'd expect a commercial operation to be mostly or entirely automated.
Oh yeah, it would be much better if the military run things, like in Burma.
SLORC apologist bastard.
Don't tell him that. You'll put some poor therapist out of a job.
Back to work, peasant!
Maybe if we start using expressions like CHRIST'S FAT COCK he'll stop talking to us and we'll win by default.
Quick someone with a wiki account start a new article here

And cut and paste an ASCII goatse from here

You're right! I'll look into this and

The real news is that Opera is number one in the Ukraine.

And the women there are hot too. All I need is an AK47 to keep off the gopniks and a plane ticket and I'll be all set.
Well if you want to run Acrobat, don't use a pure 64 bit environment.
She's switched to non "your Dad" men too.
Take a fucking chill pill
People keep saying that to me, but where the fuck am I supposed to get them? I've asked in Wahlgreens and CVS and the fucks just laughed at me.
> and iPad looks like Apple's attempt to do the same to netbooks.
Yeah, good luck with that. A netbook costs half what an iPad does and it's a real computer not a toy for people who never got past finger painting.

Now compare to the Golf. Golfs in the UK come with a bunch of different engines
http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-vi/which-model/engines/fuel-consumption
The best one - BlueMotion 1.6 TDI 105PS gets 83 mpg on the highway. That's a diesel, non hybrid engine.
Now if I look on the US site I don't see anything like this

Why are US cars so bad for fuel consumption?
Sounds like GM has swallowed the tax credit.

Fun with 1149s.
