  1. Re:Obstruction of justice on Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Password? Encrypted? Officer, those files aren't encrypted, they are just randomly generated files I made... On a more serious note, it would be a nice safety feature if that when a certain wrong password was typed in, it would show an unencrypted version of something completely legal.

  2. Re:Great. Now what is it??????? on 42nd Mersenne Prime Probably Discovered · · Score: 1

    Assuming you meant "the inabiliy to factor large composite numbers," that isn't a problem in the field of cryptology as much as it is the base on which some of the strongest algorithms rest.

  3. Re:Hope he gets slammed on Louisiana Man Pleads Guilty to Creating 911 Worm · · Score: 1

    Yeah, pick on the mentally handicapped. Way to go.

  4. This will be taken too far on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 1

    His business will suddenly drop all it's customers when he puts in edible toilet paper.

  5. Re:Good idea? on Reporting Kernel Security Issues · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There is something to be said about keeping it private though. It would be ideal if they could keep it private and fix the bug quickly, just because this doesn't work for other companies doesn't mean they can't pull it off.

  6. Re:Uhhh... on W3C launches Binary XML Packaging · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you are most definatly right on that. Looks like CowboyNeal needs to RTFA.

  7. What's with the name? on ZigBee Alliance Triples in Size · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not sayin' that the name is all that matters, but ZigBee's? That sounds more like a fast food restaurant then an entity that should be making standards.

  8. Re:Who knows what will happen on Grand Challenges For The Next 20 Years · · Score: 1

    The point of these goals is to be a floor, not a cieling.

  9. All the FBI Needs is... on FBI Wants To Limit Document Searches · · Score: 5, Funny

    The FBI should just install google desktop. Problem solved.

  10. Jobs, give him a job. on Mac mini All About Movies? · · Score: 1

    If he is right, Apple should hire him to shut him up. There are reasons ambush's are ambush's.

    If he is wrong, Apple should hire him to come up with strategies like this.

  11. How crazy! on Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs · · Score: 1

    Thats like being sent to prison because you found out why goodyear tires blew out*!!!!!!!! *That is, of course, assuming you showed everyone else how to blow out everyone else's tires too.

  12. Re:Outrageous... on CT High Court Rules GIS Data Can Be Kept Secret [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    If you see anyone walking down a street, taking notes, looking suspicious, contact the authorities.

  13. Re:Outrageous... on CT High Court Rules GIS Data Can Be Kept Secret [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Alot of GIS stuff is proprietary, GE's Smallworld comes to mind, and that could be an issue. Not to mention, there is alot more danger in giving out this information than not; information is power, and if you can't see how giving out detailed information on everything from gas lines to sewer lines to power lines is dangerous, you are not being creative enough.

  14. Re:Complexity? on Tuning The Kernel With A Genetic Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Innovation sometimes requires complexity. Besides, genetic algorithms are not that complex.

  15. Re:Apple: Always thinking on Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yesterday, I swear to God, it said "The video will be available shortly."
    I can't really blame them, but I really wanted to see it.

  16. Karma on Conspiring Against Your Employer? Watch What You Email · · Score: 1

    "Many of the e-mails revealed in the CIBC court documents offer an embarrassing portrait of greed and corporate rebellion, with executives boasting about the "tons of moula" they would make by moving to Genuity.

    I guess it turns out, greed and stupidity don't mix.

  17. Concerning TiVO: on TiVo to Go Released · · Score: 1

    I think i'm going to sue after I trip on my own saliva from seeing these things.

    And with the winnings I will have my TiVo!

    Can you imagine how much more that baby behind you is going to cry when it starts floating around?

  19. Re:Is it just me on Defining Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft may be big, but you never hear anyone say "Why don't you MS for that?" Empires fall, yet verbs are eternal.

  20. Downfall? on Microsoft Loses Passport · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, it's looking bad for MS. Firefox, IE exploits, linux sneaking up on them, and their attempt to be big brother now fails too. I'll be sure to toss a rose on the casket when the giant dies off for sure, albeit a black rose.

  21. Re:Microsoft happy with IE? on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 1

    I've always considered security a feature. Actually, it is the feature that made me pickup Mozilla. The addiction to tabs and extensions came later.

  22. What? on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Trojans in IE counts as news still? Its like someone throws us a surprise party every three months and we feel obliged to keep acting surprised.

  23. Whatever you say... on nVidia and Infinium to Partner at CES · · Score: 5, Funny

    I dont care what people say, the Infinium and the Phantom console will be a household name in a year. Kind of in the same way Enron was.

  24. Re:I just thought of something on Bosses Keep Sharp Eye on Mobile Workers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Completely unrelated, any word on when they will give these things to armored trucks...

  25. What about... on Top Ten Advances in 2004 · · Score: 1

    ... "The Biggest Loser"? Clearly, transplanting people from Springer to reality TV is analogous to the first heart transplant.
