  1. Re:Only Outlaws will Have Encryption on US Encryption Ban Would Only Send the Market Overseas (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    I tihnk it is also worth noting is was not exactly that smooth. Zimmermann and others received legal threats both in person, mail, phone calls, etc until the code was moved outside the US and was freely distributed. The fight to freely release PGP wasn't won, there was just nothing that could be done afterwards. Since then, many forms of encryption still remain illegal to export.

  2. Sorry AC. I agree with you and moderated incorrectly.

  3. Trending on Teen Suicide Tormentor Outed By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I understand this is a sad story, but look at the search trends for the alleged guy. On sat Oct 13, 33 web searches for his name. That is an awful low number for a bunch of kids looking for this guy on a Saturday night. http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Kody%20Maxson&date=today%201-m&cmpt=q

  6. XBMC on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Watch TV In 2012? · · Score: 1

    Run your own server. XBMC runs on quite a few platforms. Apple TV 2 comes in at 99, and can now do surround sound and HD video. Also, you can create multiple profiles on each device and password protect them. Have the setup default to the kids menu with only tv shows and movies. Then, if the password is entered, it loads all of your collection available. Profiles can be synced between all of your devices over an easy to setup mysql server. This also supports pause and resume from different playback devices. You can source your own collection, or use software such as Sickbeard and Couchpotato to build up your collection to stop you from having to rip all of your dvds. These programs will also update your library and show as new items in XBMC. Bottom line is that XBMC is here to stay and has a huge developer backing. Install it or run it as a live distro and see what you think. It has served me well since its first release for the original Xbox.

  7. Re:Passwords Are Safe, But ... on WHMCS Data Compromised By Good Old Social Engineering · · Score: 1

    A hashed password being safe is a bold statement from a company that is suppose to be protecting credit card information. Even worse though, is the plain text credit card numbers that "may" be at risk.

  8. Re:Works as intended, DreamHammer is dangerous! on DreamHammer Wants To Corner the Drone OS Market · · Score: 1

    I guess you lack any knowledge regarding how the Government communicates over TCP/IP. Encryption hardware is not shared between sites. Access is takes multiple parties to configure. Everyone knows how TCP/IP is unsecured by itself, which is why we have encryption that sits over the top.

    Do you need me to Google encryption for you coward?

    Th problem isn't the encryption, it is the implementation of encryption and the control of the keys. Sure end to end TACLANEs are awesome, it is a guaranteed end to end, software independent, solution. Encryption was available and "implemented on the predators, however it was not implemented the proper way leaving the video feed vulnerable to a $15 piece of software that could run on portable monitors. Had that vulnerability in the implementation not been discovered sooner, the control channels could have been interacted with as well. Shall I google bad implementation of encryption for you, or did you feel like just being a smartass?

  9. Proprietary Sensors on DreamHammer Wants To Corner the Drone OS Market · · Score: 1

    I think this has all of the makings of a waste of taxpayers dollars. They "might" be able to integrate all of the controls into one single point of failure. However, most of the sensors are proprietary government COTS solutions that are just slapped inside an airborne platform. The chances of this company being able to write code to work on all of the commercial closed source intelligence sensors are slim to none.

  10. Keep it simple stupid (KISS) on Ask Slashdot: Skype Setup For Toddler's Room? · · Score: 1

    Put the box in an area out of reach, in another room etc, and run the monitor, sound, and web cam cables to the desk. Use a wireless mouse and keyboard that has an off switch. Let the baby chew on the powered off keyboard while skyping. Now on to solving world peace.

    Howard Gantman, a spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America, said he did not believe its member studios were aware of Mr. Strachman’s operation. His sole comment dripped with the difficulty of going after a 92-year-old widower supporting the troops. “We are grateful that the entertainment we produce can bring some enjoyment to them while they are away from home,” Mr. Gantman said.
