    ...it's a scare tactic with no bite, to make students use less bandwidth to save the college money. The police won't care about copyright infringement unless the copyright holders themselves complain. An interesting theory.

    Well I've heard complaints about Android and iOS and their stores and the ways each locks down apps etc, different OS versions (for Android). But I haven't heard anything bad about WP7! But then again at the time it hadn't been released yet... so that was probably why... >_>

    Now that you mention it, Opera sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

  13. Re:So, to clarify... on Firesheep Countermeasure Tool BlackSheep · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm willing to bet sessions for most websites can last indefinitely, at least until you change your password. The website usually instructs the browser when to clear the session cookie (several weeks to several months, in my experience), but of course an attacker doesn't need to honor that request.

  14. Re:Sound? on A JavaScript Gameboy Emulator, Detailed In 8 Parts · · Score: 1

    I think the general solution is to use Javascript to generate the raw audio data, slap a WAV header on it, base 64 encode it into a data url and stick it into an audio tag set on autoplay.

    I could be wrong about that though, maybe there's a better way. I've seen a couple of SWF to JS converters that handle audio OK.

  15. ALERT on EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use · · Score: 5, Funny

    The GRAMMAR BOT 9001 has determined you have confused the words "their" and "there". An infraction has been added to your permanent record and your mother has been notified.

    To clarify, if at any point you connect using HTTP to a website, FireSheep can steal your cookies and impersonate you from that point on. It doesn't matter if the login form uses HTTPS or not (but of course if it does not your password can be stolen too, but AFAIK FireSheep just looks for cookies).

    Because the DS doesn't adjust to daylight savings time automatically? Just a guess.

  22. Re:Anybody remember if... on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 1

    Well there are a few plugins I think, but didn't Flash come out with an official 64-bit Linux plugin only recently? And I know Java has one, but I don't know about others. Silverlight and some other less-used ones (Quake Live anyone?) might be 32-bit only.

  23. Re:Anybody remember if... on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The problem with 64-bit browsers is that you need 64-bit plugins. Most people only install 32-bit plugins and some plugins may not have 64-bit plugins (chicken-or-egg problem... no-one pushes 64-bit browsers due to plugin compatibility, no-one makes 64-bit plugins due to browser compatibility). But now with Chrome and Firefox's plugin process model this could be easily worked around though by having both 32 and 64-bit plugin host binaries and launching whichever one you need, then the browser could use both types.

    By that logic we also paid the gov't to go into trillions of dollars in debt with other countries... so the public owns that too. No thanks.
