And this is less secure than existing passwords how?
With existing passwords spyware just grabs the keystrokes.
With this method the spyware would have to do OCR on the password image and then do a sophisticated algorythm comparing what you typed, and do this many times before it could be sure it had the whole image.
It is much more complicated. Sure it is still vulnerable but it is a vast improvement over most password systems.
Please RTFA and the website. The filter is opaque. THe user is sent gibberish as a password, and it only makses sense if you have the opaque window to create letters and numbers from the gibberish.
It is mot possible to decode without knowing the one time padd. And the one time padd is implemented in the physical world, by the window.
If the authors claims are accurate (that it is possible to create tens of thousands of throwaway passwords per window before they need to be replaced) then this is an ideal authentication method IMO.
My opinion is most certainly not a libertarian view of anything. it would be a different matter if these policies were hidden away under disclaimers or in fine print somewhere.
They are literally thrust into your face any time you want to use a facebook app. It is impossible to claim you did not see it and agree to it.
It' snot even like you can call it a click-wrap license as it is very brief and very clear. The dialog says something to the effect of "Yes I agree to give application access to all of my personal data". Claiming ignorance after the fact is simply asinine.
I just hate to see where this could go because there are lots of facebook apps that actually use this data for very useful purposes,a nd now those apps would not be able to exist, since apparently not even a vocal disclaimer about what they are doing is enough, they have to be banned altogether?
Any time you agree to take one of those quizes etc, Facebook pops up a GIANT box in your face basically saying that if you agree to take that quiz then you give all rights to your information and your first bord child to the developers of that application.
If the user is too stupid to read a giant disclaimer right in their face and decide it is not worth that risk to find out how much alike their taste in puppies is to Fergie, then I have no sympathy for them.
*OR* everyone will just wake up to the fact that PostgreSQL is superior in pretty much every way now (including performance and ease of maintenance) and dump MySQL altogether.

In lieu of a patch, users can protect themselves by disabling the "just-in-time" component of the TraceMonkey engine.
To do that, users should enter "about:config" in Firefox's address bar, type "jit" in the filter box, then double-click
the "javascript.options.jit.content" entry to set the value to "false." The popular NoScript add-on will also ward off attacks.
It is also an important strategic advantage to have a ship that is more fuel efficient as it can stay in the arena for longer before it needs to be refuelled.
Do these guys even know how Bittorrent works? A.torrent file is useless without a tracker. What tracker are these files using? Whatever THAT host is, why isn't it just hosting the.torrent files?
Jury nullification has an important role in removing bad laws. For example, 60% of cases brought against prohibition were lost in the US, due mainly to jury nulltificatin (no one would convince anyone for it). This eventually led to the law being repealed.
I think the main point of the OP is BIONIC is using idle time, which means every second that BIONIC is running is a second your PC could be sleeping in S3 suspend.
Frankly I wonder if everyone running BIONIC relaisezes this... as if they live in an average US State it is basically costing them $10+ / month to run the thing for every PC it is on 24/7.
Cats are the only "domesticated" animal that can go from domesticated to feral and back at will.
You can release your house cat into the wild and (assuming they do not get eaten by a predator) they will survive just fine. You can also take a feral cat and domesticate it in very short order.
This is a bad analogy as Google does not alter their search results for advertisers. The ads are displayed *beside* or *above* the results, and are clearly marked.
A better analogy would be if LG paid Best Busy so that whenever someone came in and asked about a Sony TV, Best buy had to also tell them "also, just FYI, we have this LG model".
Slashdot Mirror
This is easily rectified in any software by compensating for the DPI by scaling up or down the image.
Heck you can do this in CSS:
IMG.passwordWindow { width: 2in, height: 1in }
This image is going to be scaled to be the exact same size on the screen in any web browser.
Also, this has nothing to do with color filters.
I swear to god every poster on this thread so far has not gone to the website: http://www.passwindow.com/
This is actually a very novel idea that has been thought out thoroughly.

WebKit ships with QT. KDE depends on QT.
I always disable those security modules as they always end up to incompatibilities and other erratic behavior in software.
Exactly what do they do anyway?
How ironic that I am a Canadian then!

So don't use goofy third party applications then.
Problem solved?

It basically just puts you back to 3.0 mode.

Why not post in the summary the simple fix?

This is likely a main driver for this research.

It's both.

Because they would then not be able to tell that the bills were counterfeit.
The trick is they would need bills good enough to not be detected as counterfeit by NOrth Korea, but would be detectable back home as counterfit.

Why wouldn't they just disable support for them in the OS? You can even do this in windows without much trouble/
Because they enjoy the power trip they get by yelling at you and "scrubbing" your machine?

I don't see anything wrong with that whatsoever.
Do you have any idea what the QA procedure would be for a release of baking software?
The QA cycle on it alone would be 6-12 months. Then you would need 6-12 months to roll it out to all the ATMs globally.
The GPS in my HTC Touch (Windows Mobile 6) locks on within 5 seconds and even semi-works in tunnels since it uses AGPS constantly.
I have had TomTom installed on it for over a year, and it works like a charm. I sold my GPS a week after I got this phone and have not looked back.
If you're going to commit a crime, leave the cell phone at home, or better yet, "forget it" in your alibi's car for that time period.
"Oh I was with so and so - check the cell phone records".
Once again, only the dumb criminals get caught.
