  1. Re:LOLWHUT?! on RIM Announces BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    QNX's support for massive SMP (more than 8-16 CPUs) is bad, its scheduler is not quite good enough.

    How will they ever compete in the handheld market?

  2. Re:Alright! on Motorcyclist Wins Taping Case Against State Police · · Score: 1

    Tell that to The Pirate Bay.

    $1 million is restitution? That's barely 1 copyrighted song.

    Funny because it's sad.

    Of course the mere act of writing that program also makes you a terrorist. They thought of everything!

    I read somewhere that there are no Siemens systems in Bushehr, making that particular plant immune to this worm. Is that true?

    debased our currency to worthlessness,

    No, you did that to the whole world. Somehow, I don't think Nixon will be remembered for Watergate in 50 years.

    the practice of forcing another party to behave in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats, intimidation, trickery, or some other form of pressure or force

    And this is not what happens? Let me guess: they pay up in a voluntary manner after being threatened with lawsuits.

  8. Re:The Plaintiff? on In Court? Be Careful What You Post On Facebook · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hop over to section 2703 and in subsection (b) article (1) subsection (B) subsection (ii) says you can get a court order as long as you follow article 2703 subsection (d)

    No, at this point you give up and ask a lawyer. Wanna bet there's another text somewhere that further qualifies this?

    What kind of a protocol is hhttp and what kind of a URL is pubsacsorgdoifull101021nn1018158?

    It's the new RTFA-test. You're the only one who passed.

    Of course statisticians using modern methods and number crunching capabilities and huge databases of both game results and game moves are going to be able to beat it

    You mean data miners can predict the database they built their algorithms on? Wow!

    A true test would be to accurately predict results in the next ten years.

    Your phone is too smart to be secure. Buy a $10 Alcatel.

  17. Re:If *anything* gets stolen... on Google Apps Gets Two-Factor Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed. While it's by no means perfect, it is more secure.

    Most accounts today are not compromised because the attackers specifically target the victim, but because they had the weakest password.

    Also, the act of stealing a physical device makes it a far greater risk and hassle for the attackers.

    Well, you are trying to handle INDEPENDENTS as a group.

  19. Re:Perhap the kernel's size is becoming too unweil on Hole In Linux Kernel Provides Root Rights · · Score: 1

    Its a bug tracking issue, not a a version control issue.

    No, it's a software complexity issue. The problem is, with the size of the kernel, it would be prohibitively expensive to write and run tests even just for the major bugs fixed.

  20. Re:Perhap the kernel's size is becoming too unweil on Hole In Linux Kernel Provides Root Rights · · Score: 1

    You want to talk about 'quality control' in the open source world, here it is right in front of us. Will it be done properly and thoroughly?

    You mean by ridiculing the person who made a mistake in front of the whole world? Patch your own fucking kernel if you're so damn smart.

    This cycle will be repeated endlessly until enough people take the risk of being peaceful.

    How many of your neighbors have the Westerners invaded? I bet you wouldn't be so peaceful if you saw a Russian tank rolling down your street one morning.

  23. Re:Wow on Stuxnet Worm Infected Industrial Control Systems · · Score: 4, Interesting

    People are lazy. Why change the password on these machines? You'd have to write it down somewhere because remembering things is tough.

    I blame management. With all the chaos around a factory (at least the ones I've worked in), the default password is more reliable than the people who are supposed to know them when they're needed.

    Add in the fact that factory workers don't really get paid enough to care about anything, and you have to start wondering why this this kind of attack isn't more common. Hell, we've played Minesweeper on the monitoring terminal of a >$100M production line :)
