  1. Re:Better solution on First Use of RIPA to Demand Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    You need to be careful, however, of other problems with hidden volumes.

    If I can acquire your drive twice, and then, upon forcing your password out of you, find that some supposedly empty areas (in both drives) have changed, I know there's a hidden volume there.

  2. Re:not the root of the problem... on New Parental Controls Limit Xbox Time · · Score: 1

    I just got home from a friend's house after dumping three and a half hours that seemed like one into a PS2 (iirc). A timer with reminders could be useful, but a hard limit is starting to get troublesome.

  3. Re:This is news? on US-Made Censorware Used To Oppress Burma · · Score: 1

    Really, everyone has a habit of ending up dead... It's just a matter of time >:)

  4. Re:I was waiting for this... on Project Gutenberg Volunteers Partial IMSLP Hosting · · Score: 1

    I am thoroughly impressed with them. They are doing a damn good job. They are asking for what they have a reasonable right to, no more. And they are doing it in a reasonable way. "Please don't share stuff in copyright here with here" is WAY better than the "OMG YOU HAVE A SONG! TERRORIST!" that the RIAA is such a fan of.

    I agree that copyright needs fixing, but that is a separate issue. Here and now, I must say to them, bravo!

  5. Re:Yawn on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    It might be old, but it's still important. After all, we knew about the constitution centuries ago, but it still matters, or at least I hope so.

  6. Re:It depends upon the system. on Consumer Group Demands XP for Vista Victims · · Score: 3, Funny

    So wait... Vista is just a really buggy linux clone? I should have known Microsoft could even manage to screw up linux!

  7. Re:Puh-leeeeze! on Intel Chief Evangelist Comments on Linux Scheduler · · Score: 1

    Bang.

  8. Re:More than you understand. on Homeland Security's Tech Wonders · · Score: 1

    But! But! Think of the children!

  9. Re:atomic clock to PC connection? on NTP Pool Reaches 1000 Servers, Needs More · · Score: 1

    Sure, but I still have to pay $20 or whatever per computer, instead of downloading and running a free ntp app which will synchronize from the same source. (The radio clock is one of the tier 1 NTP servers, iirc)

  10. Re:This isn't net neutrality, on Justice Department Opposes Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The thing is, your priority package isn't slowing down my non-priority package. Bandwidth is limited, and while UPS can just hire another driver, the big ISPs seem to prefer to slow things down instead of running more fiber or wire.

  11. Re:Queue Slashdot Reader Love Life Jokes on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 1

    He could have posted anonymously :)

  12. Re:less-crumbly? on Crackers Cause Pentagon to Put Computers Offline · · Score: 1

    The term is typically derogatory and not very often used in comparison to the snack version, in my experience.

  13. Re:O Rly? on Concerns Over Microsoft's Internet User Profiling · · Score: 1

    80% accuracy of a given demographic is not probable cause to search anything. 80% accuracy for the selection of an individual is ok, but for a demographic is not enough to search every member of that demographic (or any selected members) (yet)

  14. Re:Don't lend Trusted computing legitimacy on A Conversation with Cory Doctorow and Hal Stern · · Score: 1

    His family just sees a logon screen, and knows their relatively simple passwords. The rest is all behind the scenes, and they couldn't care less about it.

  15. Re:Of course! on Is Email 'Bankrupt'? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So set up a whitelist.

    If you are listed here, or GPG Signed/Encrypted: PASS
    Else: Instant Trashing (Perhaps notification of reason too?)

  16. Re:Get mo' Gitmo! on Congress Debating "No-Work" Database · · Score: 1

    Welcome back, Mr. McCarthy!

  17. Re:Yes you can on The Elevator Effect In Second Life · · Score: 1

    But people don't! That's what's so interesting.

  18. Re:FUCK THE RIAA -- HERE'S HOW: on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    This may be a helpful idea, but do you know of any practical applications of it that people can download and use? Until there are a few, this won't work for anyone but a few interested programmers with a lot of time on their hands.

  19. Re:Initial image by agreed experts, not RIAA on Safeguards For RIAA Hard Drive Inspection · · Score: 1

    Watch out for temporary files.

    Mount any folders that sensitive temp files would be on as special ram backed partitions, or on disk, encrypted with a one-time, never-leaves-ram key.

  20. Re:Replay attacks? on Typing Patterns for Authentication · · Score: 1

    Exactly my point. The difficulty of falsification of data is insignificantly changed.

  21. Re:ssh on Typing Patterns for Authentication · · Score: 1

    The client can record and repeat at will the biometric data.

  22. Re:ssh on Typing Patterns for Authentication · · Score: 1

    Client-side software collects fake the biometrics, encrypts them, and sends them to the authentication server. There. I fixed that for you.

    Never trust the client.
  23. Re:Techonology... on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    Technology gives us abilities and traits that evolution wasn't going to give us anyhow. It does not stifle our evolution. It compensates for our lack of it.
