  1. Speculative but interesting on The Slow Bruteforce Botnet(s) May Be Learning · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The conclusions are a bit too speculative, nonetheless the research is interesting. I am not sure if a few hundred hosts are enough to conclude that the "bad guys" are coordinating and sharing attack output. And as far as avoiding OpenBSD, come on..."OpenBSD is a bitch." Why is this a surprise?? :)

  2. Re:Conflict of interest central on Network Neutrality Defenders Quietly Backing Off? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because as we all know it, Google can do no wrong, and it's always easier to explain this stuff with conspiracy theories instead of reality.

  3. Re:Oh no! Success on Should Apple Open Source the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    Market share for MS may be going down but revenues are actually going up. Let's not confuse the two.

    Apple is just another corporation, with investors who want to make MONEY. The iPhone is a means to make that money, not some messianic cross for Jobs to die on.

  4. Re:What if a bomb goes to 38 53.525N 77 1.442E on Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It? · · Score: 1

    You mean politicians fighting war in place of experienced military personnel is a bad thing?

  5. Re:First and most stupid on Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It? · · Score: 1

    They said the same thing about getting involved in a land war in Aghanistan...the Russian got their butts handed to them yet the U.S. did just fine.

    The only reason I mentioned "war" is because of the title of this thread; people are already under the impression that we are at war with China - my point is that we are not, and in fact it is in China's best interest to NOT pursue a war with the U.S. considering the amount of paper debt it has invested in the U.S. - therefore this is all a theoretical conversation of course.

    By the way, do not confuse communist doctrine and propaganda for actual military superiority.

  6. Bombs.... on Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can the Chinese traceroute laser guided bombs away from their datacenters? The people with the most bombs usually win...

    And re: Chinese investments in the U.S. - should China go to war with us, they will be screwed...all the paper debt they've created with the United States will become a clean slate; thanks for the free money suckers!

  7. Re:Why doesn't somebody countersue them on RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient · · Score: 4, Funny

    You need to infringe on the rights of one of these posters and rip one...for posterity's sake :)

    He could clog the tubes though...

  9. Re:Awwww... on Apple Believes Someone Is Behind Psystar · · Score: 1, Redundant

    hehe...that's pretty funny.

  10. Awwww... on Apple Believes Someone Is Behind Psystar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...are they implying that Microsoft has something to do with this? Steve Mobs has quite an imagination. Come on guys. :)

  11. Encryption on Technical Specs Released For Aussie Net Filtering · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is the time to invest in and bring to market an encryption product to the masses in Australia. What would stop a US company from selling cheap VPN tunnels to end users down under?

  12. Re:High Voltage on Copper Thieves Jeopardize US Infrastructure · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whoever modded your comment as "funny" has one twisted mind...there should be a "sick" option as well...or "sick funny" maybe.. :)

  13. Re:Old News. on Copper Thieves Jeopardize US Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I was going to post the very same thing...the price of copper hit bottom this week. It will hardly pay for nutjobs to rip out high-voltage copper lines...

  14. But, but... on Apple Quietly Recommends Antivirus Software For Macs · · Score: 1

    ...it's so sterile!

  15. This is news? on Google's Gatekeepers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why is this news? Not that I agree with their political message, but World Net Daily (wnd.com) has been on the receiving end of Google's actions for a while now, supposedly due to political motives; so yes, this should worry anyone interested in free and open access to information.

  16. Re:Flawed study on Greenpeace Slams Apple For Environmental Record · · Score: 1

    How can a flawed study function correctly? That doesn't make any sense. First off, Apple does not owe anyone, including Greenpeace, any public explanation regarding their products; unless their products contain illegal products, they cannot be held liable, especially by a bunch of whackos in Greenpeace. Secondly, judging by Greenpeace's history with anything "corporate," you cannot judge any corporation for refusing to participate, mostly because when they do, they still get screwed over for doing it.

    Instead of commending Apple for taking steps in the right direction, they skewer them for not going far enough. There is never "far enough" with these people...unless their machines will be painted communist red, because let's face it, their agenda is mostly political in nature. They've lost their ways a long time ago.

  17. Very cool! on A 1941 Paper-and-Pencil Cipher · · Score: 1

    Very cool; this is handy for beginning students and those keeping a history of cryptography, which boomed starting with WWII.

  18. Re:Originating in Russian != Russian National on Significant Russian Attack On US Military Networks · · Score: 1

    Yes, because the ex KGB agents who are now running the country have no ill interests towards the United States whatsoever? :)

    Look, maybe tfa is exaggerating what actually happened, but you guys need to get your heads out of your asses too. If you think the Chinese or Russian governments are no behind some of those attacks or if you think they are not backing the criminal groups doing this, then we are hopeless.

  19. Re:(H|Cr)ack attack on Massive Botnet Returns From the Dead To Spam On · · Score: 1

    What makes you think that it has not happened?

  20. Re:Policy? Is there a rule for this? on Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple · · Score: 1

    I said "could" exonerate you, not "will." You need to practice sound risk management principles and decide what is best in your situation, in your specific cultural context.

  21. Re:Sarbanes-Oxley on Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, SOX section 802 can bring criminal penalties if audit records (which can include email messages) are not maintained. It sounds like Apple may not be SOX compliant.

  22. Re:Policy? Is there a rule for this? on Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple · · Score: 1

    The problem with what you are doing is that you are removing data and electronic memorandum which could exonerate you and your employer in case of a lawsuit. This is of course, assuming that you are doing all this in good faith.

  23. Re:warning don't try at home! on History of the LED — the Movie · · Score: 1

    Yeah, same here, except I would steal the small speaker from a public phone...ahh...the good old times in a communist country: no parts to buy, but plenty to steal from the common pot.

  24. Re:Communist China! Your days are numbered! on Chinese Hacking of American Military Networks On the Rise · · Score: 1

    It's all about how spicy the mala chicken will become!

    maybe they will add an odor generator to the kindle so it can smell like antique books when you read it..hehe
