  4. Network Security on Kraken Infiltration Revives "Friendly Worm" Debate · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem with this whole thing is the problem facing any system that is, on it's merits alone, a good thing, is that the operators are human. Add the human element and you have a built in exploit.

    What happens if BOFH numero uno for instance gets his hands on some access? What about someone 'trusted' to run it, does that mean they are themselves free of malice? Is the system itself going to be free of security holes?

    I don't think you could reasonably comfort me with an answer to any of these questions.

  5. brains on Brain Scanner Can Tell What You're Looking At · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's amazing how far we've come to understand how our zombie food really works. Think about it, we can chemically alter it with a degree of precision, we can take minutely detailed images of it to determine any number of things, we can influence and stimulate it to any number of ends. Now we're on the verge of seeing each others dreams. I wonder what Tom Cruise has to say about this...

  7. bad enough on Anti-Botnet Market is Black Eye for AV Industry · · Score: 1

    It was bad enough when they started hitting us wit subscriptions to virus signatures, but now... Not that I use Symantec products anyway. Free solutions still have the upper hand in my book.

  12. Safer for the cameras on Spy Drones Take to the Sky in the UK · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder what happens to areas out of camera shot. Anyone looking to involve themselves in law-breaking would simply need to do so where the lens isn't aimed. Sounds like motivation to re-locate to me, nothing more. Further... Who do you think decides where to aim the lenses, no chance for bias there... right?

  13. Forced to buy retail boxes?! on Blizzard Hints At New StarCraft, Launches Burning Crusade · · Score: 1

    My wife and I both play WoW and we eagerly marched into the local game hut and picked up a copy. The game is of course as awesome as we have come to expect from blizzard. Unfortunately, we only purchased one copy. As I'm sure most of you know, Blizzard is requiring you purchase a retail box in order to get an account key. This leaves those of us who have more than one account purchasing a second (or sometimes third) retail box in order for all of us to be able to play the expansion. In our case that means 2 boxes, 8 cd's, etc... Why didn't Blizzard simply allow us to purchase one retail box and apropriate keys via the internet? They have been able to do it since I've been playing the original. It just seems to me that this is simply a wastefull practice. We should be able to buy only one box and additional keys, and limit the amount of extra garbage we introduce to the environment.
