  1. Re:Few to admit it, but a lot of parents teach thi on Internet Responds To Racist Article, Gets Author Fired · · Score: 1

    Racism cuts only one way, from the dominant group to the other groups. Racial hate cut both ways.

  3. Re:More fraud? I don't think so on MasterCard To Distribute RFID Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    It can take some time. They use ISO-14443 cards (a.k.a mifare), which have mutual authentication with reader and encrypted communications. If you dont have a valid reader, you don't have any info from the card.

    Also, readers usually have mutual athentication with higer lever devecies before they can read any card. I know that because we are using this cards in the transport system in Bogotá for 5 years now.

  4. Re:What OS? on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 1

    When running a embedded device the OS does matter. May be not for the user, but for the programmer. You have to decide using MMU or flat memory, using posix like or specific driver api, static or dynamic linking and so on. Thats why there are so many embedded and real time OS's.

    Also, the OS affects hackablility. Having knowledge about the XBox OS is mandatory to hack it unless you want to put another OS on it.

  5. Slashdot US centrism on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always seen that slashdot is too US-centric. But this discussion makes me sick.

    As far as I can see, to slashdoters, non-american citizens are not even humans beings. They have no rights and nobody should care if US goverment abuse of those people.

    I have windows 2000 with unicode support enabled. And guess what? The attack also fools IE.
