Considering a large % of people on slashdot, me included, have stuffed computers into everything except the pancake mix, and I could be wrong about that, those pricks better have a lot of time on their hands.
Right. But, the Tor exit is not encrypted to the next hop (typically). So if the bad guy owned the Tor exit (the gov owns more than a few) they will see your traffic plain text.
If you name a machine NNN and create a self signed cert for it they confirming machine(s) will ask NNN.example.com for the certificate (in addition to the visitor). The confirming machine will pass it to the visitor, it will be compared, and if they are the same NNN.example.com will work just fine. No authority is needed in the process.
There can not be a MITM attack on only one end. The Middle is important. What your probably thinking is a DNS poisoning attack where the victim is going to the site replaced in the DNS record. The fix, according to Moxie, is to cache the certificate from the last visit. This would force the user to make the correct choice to beat a poisoning attack. However, Moxie also allows the use of DNSSEC as one of the verifying choices. DNSSEC, theoretically, is much harder to poison.
You do not need a mediator to manage notaries. You use a mediator to verify certificates for you. There will no longer be a benefit to running a notary outside of helping people that do not know how to create certificates avoid learning the process.
Most of the Linux kernel development is supported by the hardware companies. The kernel developers may be coveted by these chip manufacturers who want to be sure that they can keep some of the Linux market, but the developers are nothing more than mercenaries.
Here is a thought. If you lived in Australia, close to both the desert and the ocean, and have the technology listed below; would you become our new OPEC style rich overlords?
1) You are capable of creating glass fiber from sand using solar energy (solar oven). 2) You are able to use the glass as an insulator for superconductive wire. 3) You are capable of using solar energy to create hydrogen from the ocean which then can then be used to super cool the wire. 4) You are able to run the wire on the ocean floor to surrounding Islands and sell electricity.
First, I thought sapphires were less abundant than copper making it much more expensive no matter the process.
But advances in low cost production technologies has changed the equation, making the mass use of such fibers a potential possibility.
Second, I had no idea there was a self-contained liquid nitrogen system that could be applied to the actual wire. Why hasn't this replaced liquid nitrogen stations? Please tell me this is a confusion on the part of the writer.
The TAU research team took the project a step farther by combining the fibers with a self-contained cooling system based on liquid nitrogen, which keeps the sapphire wire in a highly efficient superconducting state without overheating.
Reguera has filed patents to build on her research, which could lead to the development of microbial fuel cells capable of generating electricity while cleaning up after environmental disasters.
Way to speed up the process of building tools to protect people from disasters!
Sounds like the carpentry industry in Texas when I was growing up. I'm sure everyone will take this a bigotry so feel free to mode me down but it has a lot of merit and isn't meant to reflect the skills of anyone. Besides, I'm trailer park so I'm used to people assuming I'm a bigot.
When I was young, most of the grown ups (white, brown, and black) were roofers, painters, plumbers, and the like. A few rotten assholes hired pure illegal crews, paid them shit wages, underbid everyone else, and pushed those grown ups into other fields. If you know anything about that type of work you know that skills handed down are better than what is taught in any school. When the illegal aliens, being very competent and hard working, gained a foothold they quickly displaced the assholes that were using them. Now days, they might hire a white guy for sales in areas like Plano or Frisco to keep up the facade but that is all you will likely get. The tech industry is going through the same shit. From what I hear from friends in the UK, Indian guys hired at shit wages are now doing the hiring.
When the U.S. forefathers where looking for the best form of government they realized each had good and bad attributes; and, when in their pure form eventually oppress humanity. For example, a pure democracy will oppress the minority (mob rule), a pure republic will oppress a majority (serfs). Jefferson came to a realization that pitting them against each other would put them in a balance. The same could be said for socialism and capitalism. Capitalism oppresses the workers (indentured servitude). Socialism oppresses the gifted (creativity stagnation). If you pit them against each other neither is capable of overpowering each other.
the immaturity of AMD's 32nm process and things could be expensive for AMD on the desktop.
That is true, and as you point out, for the desktop. Machines in a data center are cooled so the number of cores is a better measure of functionality. If you build machines that run multiple VM's, which is usually the case, that cheaper 6200 will not only outperform Intel's Gulftown and more likely be preferred when adding more machines to the data center even over the SB-E chips. If AMD can get a better footing in the "cloud" infrastructure they might make enough to move to a die size smaller than 32nm, which is REALLY what they must to do.
Unfortunately, and possibly because of reports that AMD is struggling to clock its Bulldozer cores to speeds that are competitive with Intel's Core i7, there's no word of the 8-core desktop-targeted Zambezi CPU.
If you increase the clock on the CPU you have to cool it. Reducing the die reduces the amount of cooling that needs to be done. AMD is not able to shrink their die. Yet.
We still have to start a war that kills all of the jews, and burn up all the oil so the battle has to be done with horses. So. On the way to vote for Parry let everyone know to be sure to fill up both tanks on their Ford diesel dually extend cab pick up trucks, their wifes SUVs, and their kids smokers. Here is an idea. While we are waiting for the end, lets destroy the economy so people are so co-dependent they flock to the churches.
I can already VNC to a game console from my Linux boxen. I don't have to pay a monthly fee. I own the game console. I own the game. I can play on line or off. I don't even need to run the VNC client in wine. That being said, I don't know why I would play a game over VNC but there you go.

It doesn't throw out the existing system. The existing system can work right along side of it.

I've always trusted self signed certs on machines I know because nobody can request a cert from an unknown entity. I feel vindicated.
This could put a dent in all the nuwdy picks of wives and girlfriends to the interwebs. How much does a girlfriend cost again?

Priceless. :)
Glue?!? Everyone knows if you want it done right you use duct tape.
Nevermind. I posted before seeing the link to the article that makes sense. Sorry.

Sooo... even people most likely to get hired are fucked? I wonder if there is a down economy. [/snark]

Your gaming rigs must be really expensive. $15 per month + $60/game builds up really fast IMHO. A game machine doesn't have to cost $2k.
