    That could be financial ruin for a company built around one artist's output. Say I create art and sell it. If I have a gallery that sells my art, the day that I die the gallery is financially in jeopardy. Maybe a 6 month grace period would suffice.

    We _the socienty_ dont give a flying fuck.

    Which artist counts when a creation is a collaborative effort (i.e the LOTR movie)? Death of every single participant?

    Doesnt matter, movies should have something like 5 years and thats it. Art should remain ART and not mass produced crap in the name of profits.

    True, but only if system cost is not factored into the equation.

    ..True, but only if overclocking is not factored into the equation. :) Intel blows AMD out of the water once you start overclocking. Starting with default voltage and BOX cooling you easily hit ~3.6-3.7GHz on 45nm Core. If you bump voltage and provide 10" case fan you can reach 4GHz. AMD ends at about 3.6GHz, maybe 3.8GHz with expensive cooling solutions.

    I tried it after having read about their supperiority in porn searches. It was quite good, actualy, especially these video snippets searching yields. It very well may be Microsoft has found its niche in search market...

    This is totally true. What you do is specify race, hair color, position, maybe place and search for videos. Results are amazingly accurate and you get instant gratification in a form of thumbnails that will play when you touch them. Just try 'redhead interracial blowjob' for example. This is ultimate Pr0n tool.

    As an Air Force veteran with two draftable daughters, I'd say relying on robots rather than having our troops shot at and bombed is a GOOD thing.

    Its not an input lag, the demo is staged. You can see it in couple of places where actors didnt replay exact moves from the screen. Whole "demo" is a wishful thinking.

  18. Re:What about E911? on Verizon Tells Cops "Your Money Or Your Life" · · Score: 1

    Don't even contractless cell phones have to support calling 911? If so, doesn't that mean they are always talking to nearby tower(s) just as much as any other cell phone and thus just as easily trackable?

    Yes, you are right. Author of the article colored it a bit. Police probably just wanted to call the guy and ask where he is, but his phone had no service (other than 911).

  19. Re:Hardware hack? on Investigators Replicate Nokia 1100 Banking Hack · · Score: 1

    The user auth might happen on the GSM network, and sure it's between the network and the SIM, but the phone has to run the authentication code.

    No, phone just pushes data between SIM and network, encrypted data.

    plus you cant extract Ki from new cards, and when I write new I mean last >5 years. No one is using Comp128v1 anymore.

  21. Re:They're just reprogramming the IMEI and IMSI... on Investigators Replicate Nokia 1100 Banking Hack · · Score: 1

    It's just that most phones don't have reprogrammable IMEIs

    Most do, its not user reprogrammable, but every corner GSM shop in Europe can do it with repair tools they use.

    Although, I didn't think GSM phones even authenticated via the IMEI normally

    they dont

    so cloning the SIM would be enough.

    good luck trying to clone sim cards now, we are long past comp128v1

  22. Re:Hardware hack? on Investigators Replicate Nokia 1100 Banking Hack · · Score: 1

    It probably isn't so much just the ROM, but also the code on the phone itself

    erm the code is in the rom, FLASHROM

    They probably spent a lot of time reverse engineering/disassembling the original EEPROM and a lot of time hacking the code together to make it work.

    Except user authentication on GSM network is between Network and SIM card, PHONE is just a dump data pipe during that phase. This is just a scam.

  23. Re:Hardware hack? on Investigators Replicate Nokia 1100 Banking Hack · · Score: 1

    EVERY SINGLE Nokia phone uses flash rom to store firmware. That alone makes me think its a hoax.

    Its trivial to change IMEI. Its trivial to get IMSI. You CANT just use someone elses IMSI, you need at least ki.

    and who the F is Ultrascan KPO?

    This looks like a big fat scam to sell old stock of Nokias 1100 and this nobody Ultrascan is riding the scam wave trying to establish some good PR.
