  1. Which reactors on UK Lab Traces Polonium To Russian Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    Its just speculation but one of the London's newspapers, there were 2 places which were mentioned in other articles, 1 didn't have any nuclear plants and another doesn't produce the polonium 210 in its current form but does some preparation on the radioactive elements.
    Don't follow every tabloid, especially when the official London investigation didn't post much details yet.

    There is a huge difference.
    How much is avg email? about 1kb

    You gonna need a lot of bw to send a lot of voice messages and it will take too long...
    Targeted phishing could happen on the other hand.

  12. Re:How do they even write these patches??? on Two Unofficial IE Patches Block Attacks · · Score: 5, Informative

    "The fix is a DLL that gets injected into all applications via the AppInit_DLLs registry key," Sotirov wrote in a message posted to security mailing lists. He said the DLL fixes the bug by patching a single byte in MSHTML.DLL when it is loaded in memory. "This change makes the 'createTextRange()' function return an error code instead of returning 0. This exactly how the problem was fixed in the latest IE7 beta from March 20," Sotirov explained.
    from the article

  13. Releasing the source on PGP Creator's Zfone Encrypts VoIP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If he releases the sources won't companies like Vonage that are being subjected to voip packet throttling from copetitive ISPs just take it and use this technology for free?

  14. Maybe, but not in canada on The Pirate Bay is Here to Stay? · · Score: 1

    While the site might still be accessible to millions of users worldwide, here in Canada after you try to download anything from their website you won't get far.
    Due to Rogers (Canadian Cable ISP) throtling down torrent packets it becomes impossible to download anything

    Probably a lot more ISP around the world will start doing simular action to cut down on the bandwidth usage in the name of "fighting piracy" while just savin themselfs bandwidth which they over sold

    you seem to be paying too much for your hosting 50cents per gig is way too much especially if you use 200 gigs daily $100/0.5/gig check out ev1servers.net or other simular sites you can get around 1000 to 1500 gigs of transfer for 100 bucks now days

  17. Re:WTF on BitTorrent to Sue Over Trademark · · Score: 1

    If you read carefully its not that they don't want people calling BitTorrent what it is without paying them. Its them wanting to stop adware companies to making "BitTorrent Client" and then just using his code plus a lot of spyware .
    If you search for bittorrent there are numerous sites that claim to be official bittorrent clients and charging fees for the program while adding extra adware bundles!

  18. Rogers on BitTorrent and End to End Encryption · · Score: 1

    My ISP is rogers and I specifically payed for Extreme edition for 500KB/sec down and 80KB/sec down with 100gigs of monthly transfer but it really became anoying when they limited downloads to 1-2KB/sec. Since I payed for the bandwidth and speed I should be able to use it, if I go over then they can disconnect me.

    Things like throteling is their plan to cut costs, they recently disabled access to new groups and now this. Fortunetly there are easy ways around it like used reserved ports like 1090 and bitcomets encryption.

  19. Possible solutions for banks on Korean Banks Forced to Compensate Hacking Victims · · Score: 1

    Banks could require you to install a piece of software that will verify the system to be safe allowing you to access you account only after the verification has taken place.
    If you the verification fails it could offer you ways to fix your pc or something along those lines and would not allow you to enter your username/password...

    Had a simular problem was looking for Konika Minolta A1 or A2 and there were lots of shops based in the state of New York, some had stores hosted by yahoo.com, anyways they offered the cameras at a very good price but when you placed an order they would go through the same bs about ordering a kit to go with the camera and so on...
    Evantually I gave up on the online sites and just bought a camera from a local camera shop.

  22. DMCA victim on DMCA Abuse Widespread · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I fall in those 30% for sure, the hosting companies when recieving DMCA notice will not bother to validate it and will not bother to hear a counter argument in your defence, its easier for them just to unplug your server, even though the law states that they have to allow for a site owner to defend against the take down notice.

    Especialy if the content of the site is somewhat questionable and the company issuing the take down notice is big (like microsucks)
