    Beware of Greeks bearing gifts....

    Remember, the NSA is the group that originally gave us Tor.

    Incorrect. Onion routing was originally created at the U.S. Naval Research Lab as a way to provide independent, real-time, and bi-directional anonymous connections that are resistant to both eavesdropping and traffic analysis. Tor is the 3rd design of said project, which was originally started in 1996.

    I have no idea when the NSA started using onion routing, but I know for a fact that they did not create it.

  3. Re:Actually there is something else I would like t on ViaSat Delivers 12 Mbps+ Via Satellite · · Score: 1

    it is satcom based, therefore ping times will be at least 600ms. it will probably be unusable for both console and pc online gaming.

  4. It's not just about the VPN aspect on Securing Android For the Enterprise · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Android needs some sort of remote wipe software to make it even remotely feasible for most businesses. For example, the government requires remote wipe, and some sort of encryption. Until Android has a solution for these two, the VPN-less capability is moot.

  5. Re:Isn't that kind of the point? on Iran's Military Claims To Have Downed US Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    a remote kill switch? that wouldnt happen. just imagine how many drones have been shot down so far... iran says one in july then changed their mind. so maybe one in many years of use. so you want to enable a mechanism that would self distruct at a push of a button. okay, so what kind of public outcry would happen if a drone malfunctions and self distructs on a miltary base possibly injuring or killing troops? it would also add to weight and probably decrease the stealth ability. so no a remote kill switch is not a good idea.

  7. so? on EU Fines for Microsoft Approved, Off the Record · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It doesn't really mean all that much. Microsoft will do some kind of wheeling and dealing efforts to 1) lower the fine and 2) establish an even stronger marketshare in the EU such as giving away windows/office/etc to schools, businesses, etc. Sadly, in the end it all works out for redmond.

    im a signal guy in the army and im constantly upgrading my skills. having been in the civilian world prior, i know that you must constantly improve or you fall off and are replaced. just like the AF, the 'computer guys' here mostly fill out trouble tickets and maintain computers. they dont do any _real_ work. they all believe that just because they have the mos, they will make all this money on the outside which is completely wrong. it's sad.

  19. Re:Early adoption on Hackers Happily Hacking The 360 · · Score: 1, Informative

    With the new, incompatible architecture, porting existing projects to the 360 will likely take quite a bit more effort. I understand your concerns, however IBM has opened the source to some Cell libraries. IBM has also a site devoted to the cell processor that includes kernel patches for the cell processor. We also don't know enough about the security on the 360--it may be that mods will have to be specific to each unit, making said mods more costly and possibly more dangerous (easier to screw up the installation). We also didn't know about the security of the original xbox, however look how far we were able to get with that. :)

    Actually, it depends where you are. Where I am located (a military base served up by Charter (yuck)) comes out and unplugs your line in their little electrical room.

    Little do they realize (or do they) that one can easily use a hanger to get into these electrical rooms and plug back in your cable. However, they employ these special fasteners that attach to your coax cable so that you cant just plug back in your cable incase you happen to get into the electrical room.

    just wish i could find one of the tools used to release the lock... :P

    Just some information.

  25. Intel gaming from within the company on Intel From Behind the Curtain · · Score: 0

    ``I'm somewhat disappointed that a "gaming platform" doesn't appear to be a part of Intel's new platform push. As a gamer & Intel employee, I find it frustrating that AMD products are repeatedly recommended as better for gaming by almost every gaming publication & review site. While gaming isn't as large or as critical a market as the corporate market, it does push the technology envelope for silicon based solutions. Direct X & the GPU market are a prime example. I sincerely hope that we can consider changing our view on gaming as a viable application for our products strategically rather than viewing it as only a means for "bragging rights." '' Well, I'm sorry that the Extreme Edition isn't enough in the gaming market. However, when it comes to x86 based rendering, Intel still holds the top. Maybe the dual core chips will change this, but from where I'm standing it doesn't look good.
