Have the security issues (i.e. the fact that it makes it trivial to forge addresses) with 6to4 been fixed yet? If not, enabling 6to4 by default is not a great idea...
Oh right because I forgot that it's very hard to forge addresses with ipv4...
Notice that I said the first step, not the zeroeth step. We don't say that a person browsing a directory hasn't started searching the drive until they open the first file, that's generally at least the second step.
How do you figure that? If I titled a file 'How I killed my wife on 10/11/2008' it would certainly be incriminating evidence. Evidence that shouldn't be admissible in court.
Or they can just look at the pictures. At least, that's the way it used to be done.
That's kind of the point. For some reason the courts used to think that looking at the pictures would count as search w/o a warrant, but comparing files against known md5 hashes wouldn't. By running the md5 hashes, the detective had a way to prosecute this guy w/o getting a search warrant. This ruling effectively puts a stop to that.
The point is that most people don't think about this that much, and that most people won't bother to change that bit. After all, the guy got caught using the md5sum, didn't he?
Just because the tool will not catch all CP videos doesn't mean that it's ineffective.
That's what I don't understand. IANAL, but how is this different than just simply opening the images or videos of the CP? You have to access the hard drive either way.
Which stage was the search - the creating the duplicate? The running of the hash? It's not really clear.
I would say creating the image counts as a search, since you have to actually go in and read the data from his hard drive.
You won't give close friends the ability to post on your wall, yet you have no problem letting the whole world know that you were listening to elvis 2 hours ago?
they were still pushing and selling it to people ? ads and whatnot, with shaking butts etc ?
It looks like they're attacking this from two angles. There's the "Vista isn't as bad as you think it is" side, and the "Let's get something else out the door without a prejudiced bad reputation" side. Right now vista evokes the mental image of a steaming pile of bloat, so unless the marketing campaign can give the vista brand a positive image in the mind of consumers, there's no hurt in talking about the next big thing (that isn't vista). At the very worst, it will start out with 0 brand recognition, as opposed to negative, and reviews will probably be favorable considering that MS set the bar so low with vista.
If you think that's bad you should check out the $50 k scholarship recipients.
My personal favorite is Philip Streich, who "designed and custom-built a unique photon-counting spectrometer, more sensitive and precise than any commercially available."
Sorry, but Obama's constant umm, uhh is him spinning and answer that's politically beneficial rather than direct, core beliefs.
Obama's constant 'umm, uhh' comes from him actually thinking about the issue in relation to the question. The reason McCain doesn't have to think about the response is because he has a canned response that has nothing to do with the original question. He's programmed the same way a robot is.
Take McCain's answer to the question Jay Leno asked about how many houses he owned. McCain's programming knows if he gets a question he doesn't like, just talk about his military service. That's exactly what he did.
From TFA, "The online music industry has evolved so that, while there are open file format standards - notably MP3 - the major companies have so far preferred proprietary or licensed file formats protected by DRM systems."
The problem with that statement is MP3 has never been an open format. It too requires a license to use. The difference is that the spec is public, so anyone can license the technology.
For an actual open format with freely available source code, check out ogg.
I'm gonna start a pool on how long it takes before the guy using this gets 'detained' or otherwise harassed by the gov't for looking suspicious. I give it a month.
So do you think his best efforts to remain covert while using this thing were all in vain? </sarcasm>
Everyone seems to be missing the, "mostly as a joke and for reasons that will be disclosed in this talk at Defcon 16" part of the article.
...except that George W. Bush is a neo-con. He's both big government, and socially conservative. He's also for reduced privacy and retroactive immunity for telcos. A real conservative is someone that stands for smaller government, protection of civil liberties, and protection of individual privacy.

I would agree with you, but the nuke mentioned in the article isn't listed. I guess we can make that 9 lost nuclear weapons.
From day 1 the democrats were labeling McCain as Bush Jr.. if that's not negativity, then I don't know what is.
I'm going to have to say you don't know what negativity is.

maddox begs to differ.

What about third party and write in candidates?
Though it didn't actually come from a comic, we shouldn't forget about r9k. Used with greatest effect on 4chan.
On a related note, the audio preview button doesn't work for me.

Pretty bad summary, and the article was short on details. More info here.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to find out that the patent for "digital audio player" is nearly 30 years old.

On the other hand, the source code to the utilities -- not included on the CD -- was removed from web.mit.edu/zacka/www/subway/ by Saturday morning.
Anyone able to mirror this before it was taken down?

Hash clash with that many posibilities? I don't think so.
