  1. his name was never Christopher Poole. And you don't want to know why he uses that name in news papers.

  2. RTFA, the slash story is 100% wrong on McAfee Says He Lied About iPhone Hacking Method To Get Public Attention · · Score: 1

    He says he simplified the method so a stupid reporter could understand some of it.

  6. Disapppointed why? on Amazon Backpedals On Encryption, But Fire "Still Sucks" · · Score: 1

    Easy to push google stuff on to, easy to root. Cheap. Quad processor. Faster browsing than windows. Long battery life.

    Programs like keyboards can get you to the hidden OS pages for installing keyboards.

  8. Re:Sadly, the phone is obviously very vulnerable on FBI Should Try To Unlock iPhone Without Apple's Help, Lawmaker Says (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, I thought it was more like a 7 number pin.

    But still:
    1) no one can remember short secure passwords, because the entropy is too high.
    2) You need sentences and that requires more like 300 characters unless you're chinese. So secure is 18 randomly chosen words from a large dictionary with other words stuck in to turn them into sentences.
    3) no one is going to type at a little phone screen for 15 minutes every time they want to use it!

  9. Sadly, the phone is obviously very vulnerable on FBI Should Try To Unlock iPhone Without Apple's Help, Lawmaker Says (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    because the password the user typed can't be long enough to be secure from brute force.

    The phone is only "secure" if you can depend on the OS to wipe the phone after 5 bad attempts.

    If you can get into the phone's internal flash, it's game over.

  10. And the kind of "Relationship" they're demanding on Google, Yahoo Cry About Ad-Blocking (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    is non-consensual. That's not usually called "a relationship."

  13. Paranoid marketing on Microsoft's Cortana Doesn't Put Up With Sexual Harassment (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Microsoft is just trying to keep their product from saying anything that could become a meme on 4chan.

    Trust big corporations to step on your fun in order to protect their reputation.

  17. Re:Hoorah! on Phone Passwords Protected By 5th Amendment, Says Federal Court · · Score: 1

    That sound you hear is thousands of pedophiles and other criminals shouting out with glee...

    No way, it won't apply to them. There will be some way that this only applies to the 0.1% who work on wallstreet. You aren't the class of people who constitutional protections apply to. You don't have enough money to matter.

  18. Re:Seriously on Moot Sells 4chan To 2channel Founder Hiroyuki Nishimura · · Score: 1

    Also, you're wrong. What was cool about 4chan is that it is anonymous. "Management" is the opposite of anonymous.

    Then it got too popular and lost the advantage of a quirky culture and became whatever random American teens are, which is still a bit interesting to see unconstrained by identity.

  19. Re:Seriously on Moot Sells 4chan To 2channel Founder Hiroyuki Nishimura · · Score: 1

    If you want to feel old, consider that that was like 15 years ago, as old as the kids on 4chan WERE at the time.

    Someone might have confused with 2chan (rather than 2 channel). Both japanese. 2chan copied the name from 2 channel.

  22. All trolling on Moot Sells 4chan To 2channel Founder Hiroyuki Nishimura · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure there is no person named "Christopher Poole"

    The name is a combination of 4chan jokes too unpc to even print, one racist and one to do with child porn.
