  1. Unsigned on DOE Shines $21M on Advanced Lighting Research · · Score: 2, Funny

    What happens if I self sign my light SSL certificate, am I susceptible to a man-in-the-way-of-my-light attack?
    In other news, Alice and Bob figure out how to screw in a lightbulb.

  2. Hard Drive Units on Speedcabling - Untangling For Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    "To get them to replicate the conditions of the wires found snaking and choking their way around hard drive units, monitors and printers in offices worldwide..."
    Hard drives, eh? So your ethernet cables are inside the case, or what?
  3. Re:This killing machine was much more obscure... on US Military Seeks Hypersonic Weaponry · · Score: 1

    Friendly territory? They are humans, don't you fucking get it?

  4. Re:A 50 inch TV? That just makes it easy on Men Willing to Give up Sex for a 50in TV · · Score: 1

  6. Backups on Encryption Could Make You More Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    This is why backups exist. Unless of course someone gets their hands on the mass disk eraser...

  7. Re:But... on Security Research and Blackmail · · Score: 1

    No, it's not. We're talking about security vulnerabilities, not patent terminology.

  8. Businesses on Yahoo Offers All-You-Can-Eat Storage and Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    They can afford to do this with businesses because they assume they won't be useing lots and lots of P2P, they might even have a throttling clause in there somewhere. Fine print anyone?

  9. User Agent Switcher on Hotmail Doesn't Work With Linux Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    You can get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59. Under Tools->User Agent Switcher you can choose between several user agents that you want FF to report. Very handy for sites like these.

  10. How does one get it on FBI Sought Approval To Use Spyware Through FISC · · Score: 1

    How does one get infected with WWWFBISearchBar, or FBIDesktopBuddy? Does it get installed when your browsing shady government websites, or what?

  11. Re:Like a brick on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    Murderer!

  12. A new rule on Mac Hack Contest Redux · · Score: 1

    The IPs of the machines are given out, but not what OS is on the boxes. (Identifying the windows box is pretty easy though, RPC etc).

  13. Re:Difference? on Affordable Workstation Graphics Card Shoot-Out · · Score: 5, Informative

    The workstation cards tend to have very low error tolerance, while the real time graphics cards allow for quite a bit of error in the name of speed. This is fine unless your rendering something.

    Bow chica chica bow bow chica. I know you were thinking it.

  15. Hey guys what are you doing tonight? on Vista SP1 Released to Manufacturing · · Score: 1

  16. Just a word of warning on Robot Composed of "Catoms" Can Assume Any Form · · Score: 1

    Some folks I know had encounters with a similar device, you might learn from their...adventures. Fortunately I was able to combat the devices quite easily. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicator_(Stargate). Just thought I'd let you guys know.

  17. Reg other names similar to yours on Drop-Catching Domains Is Big Business · · Score: 1

    I had to reg a domain, two words with a dash separating them. I also registered the name without the dash and have it domain forward to the main domain. This way if the site becomes popular, I won't have to worry about a parker stealing my thunder.

  18. Re:Does anyone on Details of Cyber Storm War Games Released · · Score: 1

    Ah I see, thanks.

  19. Does anyone on Details of Cyber Storm War Games Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Have any details on how these "games" are actually run? I'm interested in how they simulate everything...is it just a mock control room with a game server hooked up to everything instead of the real world, or do they actually use real world utilities and networks to do this? I read the article but it was more newspaper-speak than technical details.

    This was on Hackaday first. FYI.

    I know! Let's sell mp3s without any DRM, so people can play them on *any* player, and support those with ads. Wait, what? Who are you guys? Why are you...*silenced gunfire*.

  23. Re:Jesus... on Defunct Spy Satellite Falling From Orbit · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pff, that salad isn't real.

  25. Re:Good question. on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is a good shell replacement that is similar to fluxbox: http://emergedesktop.org/. When I have to boot into windows it eases the pain.
