  1. Re:Legitimate Investigation? on Smart-Card Hacking? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1:) finding out what personal data is stored on your card
    2:) hacker(traditional meaning) mentality ,Some of us just can shake the urge to explore discover and create.
    3:) setting up your own credit card reader to go into bussiness as a manufacturer

  2. Re:Not just for ads on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Sites should use encrypted cookies for storing your preferances , and if they wish to share your data it should be explicitly stated that they will.
    Forced encryption of cookies would be nice , perhaps encryption on both ends so you decide which site views your cookies (in a more secure fashion).
    Getting people to agree and use it is another story

  3. Re:Also on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign · · Score: 1

    No no Marketing is not lying ,, Marketing is creativly bending the truth.
    Marketing is spin doctoring and its pretty much a horrible thing in my eyes.
    For example marketing spin...
    "man saves 2 from burning house , fighting his way through the flames" in marketing speak can be "man abducts 2 , after breaking in to house and smashing many posesions "

  8. Re:What about parallel and multi-universes? on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    If you go back in time to kill your father and do so then you will not exist and thus not have been able to go back in time to do it . so the whole event would not have actually occurred .

  9. Re:Slashdot on Apple The Current Fastest Growing Brand · · Score: 1

    He is the second best Anakin Skywalker ever ... OK that's not saying much as that little kid was so annoying that most people had hoped he would come across the wrong end of a light sabre a few times

  13. Well... on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 1

    Its not for losers but i would say its nearly ready for lusers.

  15. Re:"Secret" data? on UK Critical Structures Targeted by Trojan Attacks · · Score: 1

    Trojans can do a fair bit of damage , but i don't yet think they have one which can print out a robot to go and swap the network cables around to put it on the internet... which raises the question of how it would get on a secure computer in the first place unless James Bond has gone rouge

  16. Re:free as in ??? on WebObjects Now Free With Tiger · · Score: 1

    Um no , its the same definition as in Get X free with your purchase of Y.

  17. Re:Unnecessary my ass on PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N · · Score: 1

    MS-Windows as one(operating systems) , MS office and IE as another company (including the office type apps or basically anything software that isn't an OS or a game) , MS hardware (keyboards mice etc.) , MS support ,MS games (PC , Xbox etc.)

    That should about cover breaking Microsoft up into manageable chunks

  21. Re:why bother? on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think he meant not upgrading as in just making a totally different PC and using a case , as opposed to its not an upgrade of components.
    It may be a nice case mod , but have you seen how much the g4 cubes cost , they are still regularly being sold at around the same price of the MacMini

  22. Re:Digitalisation on U.S. to Digitize All Tangible Gov't. Publications · · Score: 1

    I would love to help , although i feel my disabilities may make it a rather mammoth task for me that would eat far too much time(6 typos in this paragraph alone ;) ), however i will inform a few friends of the effort as i do have several friends with far better spelling and writing skills than I

    So far , Digital media will continue to evolve which is why i gave the 50 year time frame as so far continual backups are needed and always will be i imagine but to a far lesser extent in regularity stakes.
    Why i see paper as an unnecessary waste of resources is that we simply could do without it though i do believe till the technology is perfect it wont happen .
