  1. That kid on Teen Sentenced for Releasing Variant of Blaster Worm · · Score: 1

    pwned

  2. Haven't we learned anything? on Car RFID Security System Cracked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since when is using a 30 bit encryption key a good idea? Keys like that are something that do not take all too long to break with our fast computers. Why didn't TI use a 128 bit or 256 bit key instead? It's supposed to be protecting a car so I'd expect them to use something pretty strong.

  3. Missing details on Monkeys Pay for Monkey Porn · · Score: 1

    Well, this was an interesting study but there are a few details that I am interested to know about. How did the researchers determine that the monkeys were "exchanging" their "money" for monkey pr0n; what was the exact mechanism used to determine that such an exchange was taking place? Monkey's don't use verbal communication and won't say "I'd like to see some hot female monkey ass in exchange for this juice you just gave me." So what's going on with these monkeys?

  4. Nice on Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too · · Score: 1

    This looks like really great stuff. I would prefer having this over a marker. I still can't find that darn thing and there are CDs that need labeling..

  5. Good things on Firefox In Print · · Score: 1
    Having a published book on the subject could push more people to use it over IE, which would always be a good thing. I absolutely hate the fact that IE is so uncompliant with standards. If everyone started to use a standards compliant browser my life would be easier.

    Also, I find the title "don't click the blue E" particularly funny. I know someone who, when asked, why they didn't like Firefox over IE they said "because it's harder to use" or some BS like that. He's a technician and apparently just wubs IE to death for some reason even though he admits to having to configure every installation to the maximum security settings. Oh well.

  6. Interesting on HP Pays Intergraph $141m to Settle Patent Dispute · · Score: 0

    I thought these sorts of caching techniques, and caching in general, were well known and widely used. I'm surprised that they actually got a patent on them, but I guess I can't be too shocked seeing how McAffee also got a firewall patent..

  7. Pictures? on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    Are there any real life pictures of these hybrids? I would be interested to see how they turned out.
