  1. Re:Foreigner Have It the Wrong Way Around on Behind China's Great Firewall · · Score: 1
  2. Wrong headline on US Cyber Command Reveals Plans To Hit Back At Cyber Threats · · Score: 1

    I don't see a justification for the "back" part in the headline, based on the excerpt.

  3. Re:Zimmerman has it right . on Is It Time For an Open Source Certificate Authority? · · Score: 1

    You're actually interested in whether this Ckwop guy I'm speaking to now is the same guy as I spoke to last-time. But you still should be able to find out who Ckwop is if you need to sue him/her.
  4. Re:Have you considered Pointsec on Linux? on Full Disk Encryption - Xen, Windows and Linux? · · Score: 1

    I know. The non-associativity of the English language is frequently a problem to me, a non-native speaker. It would help if people would use hyphenation to break disambiguities, e.g. instead of writing "infamous WMD evidence", write "infamous WMD-evidence" (I made this up on the spot, there are certainly better examples).

  5. Camilla cipher = Camellia cipher? on Linux Kernel 2.6.21 Released · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or did they misspell the name of the cipher? The only cipher of a similar name I found was Camellia, developed by NTT and Mitsubishi (and Sony?): http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/camellia/index .html I had never heard of it, so I was wondering why the kernel team decided it's worth being included already (both in terms of small user base and unknown security). Turns out it's in the European NESSIE standard, and there's an RFC. More on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_(cipher)

  6. Re:Right... on Jeff Hawkins' Cortex Sim Platform Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Exactly. He gave a presentation at our university and my impression was that he was quite full of it. I'm not saying he doesn't have a neat algorithm, but his claims were quite, uhm, let's say, "ambitious".
