  1. Re:Well yeah on Zero-Day IE Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No No No. Using Firefox solves the problem to right? Stop telling people to switch off Javascript just because IE can't solve its security issues as quick as hackers can find/create them. Why? Because I and probably thousands like me, rely on Javascript to access the web.

    I use Talklets to help with my reading difficulties, when out and about. Switching off Javascript on public machines will realy cause me issues! So don't. Switch to Firefox. Thanx

  2. Re:8% false positives? Absolutely useless. on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1

    Two fine points raised by the parent and grand parent. Namely that this is unworkable, and undisirable. I for one will not put up with a one in 12 chance of being treated like a terrorist, just to go on holiday. But of course it won't be an 8% chance for everyone. Having worked with AI I know that it's more like to be a 50%+ chance for certain inocent travelers to be taken to a back room for cavity searches and interigation, and far lesser chance for the majority. Which is even worse, as you won't get a majority up in arms, you just get a minority REALY pissed off.
