  1. Re:How do you violate a patent by speaking? on New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation · · Score: 1

    He did create a program. The infringement must have been the way he implemented his hack.

  2. Re:Clever. on Cisco to Open Source CTA · · Score: 1

    They're going to force all the dumbass PHBs that think obscurity=security to upgrade to whatever they replace it with. Which is their NAC appliance == Cisco Clean Access == Perfigo. NAC infrastructure hasn't caught on like they hoped it would, so they bought up the most attractive NAC vendor and called it Cisco. Business as usual for them...

  4. Re:How to stop the bots on 25 Percent of All Computers in a Botnet? · · Score: 1

    How about the gov't requires microsoft to allow service pack installation on any windows box, whether it was pirated or not? This would clean up a lot of machines that otherwise would be eternal bots.

  5. Re:What about techtonics? on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 1

    True...in fact, we are living in an interglacial period of an ice age right now. But ice ages are more likely to occur when the continents have shifted toward the poles. I have a hard time believing that Milankovitch cycles alone can cause an ice age, especially if the continental plates are situated nearer the equator.

  6. What about techtonics? on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 1
    Most believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle changes in Earth's orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles.
    Most "who" believe this? Certainly not geologists. Their theory is that ice ages are caused largely by plate tectonics. As the plate moved toward the poles they become more covered with ice. As they move toward the equator they become less covered with ice.
  7. Re:Why a law on Could HP Beat Moore's Law? · · Score: 1

    Hey, if somebody can screw up something good, they always will. It's just Murphy's Law.

  8. XP SP3 / Vista SP1 on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 1

    XP service pack 3 and Vista SP1 Beta can be downloaded here then installed offline. Remember to choose the "alternate install" ISO.

  9. Re:W00t - not. on EMI Experiments With DRM-free MP3's · · Score: 1

    Excellent book! I liked it, except that it referred to people in the Western Hemisphere as "western" and, more specfically, people in North America as "north American." I think Robert Ludlum could have left out the outrageous racial slurs and the book would have been just as good.

  15. Re:BTW on Changes in Earth's Orbit Linked to Extinctions · · Score: 1

    Wow! You were defensive before anybody gave you a reason to be.

    So, since we should all understand that axis rotation trends =/= climate change trends, what are the periods of global temperature changes?

  16. Re:Not Chinese on Chinese "Cyber-Attack" US Department of Commerce · · Score: 1
    If the boxes were so secure, how did they get in there? Why were the Windows boxes having "logs" of where the data was sent and so on. What kind of trojan would log their own activity on the compromised machine?
    This kind

    And the million dollar question is: how the f*ck they tied the Chinese *GOVERNMENT* with a Chinese *HACKER*... In fact, the first thought to occur to a government trying to hack into US's servers would be to hire hackers from another country to do it.
    Not believing that the US and every other government in the world has a blackhat hacker team is pretty ingorant and naive. Believing that you're actually hacking a government computer and not a honeypot is equally dumb.

    Add to this the constant FUD that US spread that Lenovo puts spying chips in ThinkPads and similar conspiracy theories. It's apparent US find China a convenient target to blame, just the way they did with Iraq after 9/11.
    This apple is more retarded than that orange.

    What is this "bash shell" and how do I find it on XP? I tried using Find but it was nowhere on all my drives :~(

    This implies that you already have access to the system. How did you get that?

  22. Re:Probably none. on Weakness In Linux Kernel's Binary Format · · Score: 1

    You assume much. Let's see, to take advantage of this weakness, you first have to hack the user account. Then you have to capture the user's password, change it without being noticed, and only then can you exploit the binary format weakness. How is this at all relevant???

    It's like saying you could break into the president's personal safe because you know the combo. All you have to do is get past the armed guards, motion sensors, attack dogs, and laser-armed sharks. After that it's a piece of cake...
