  1. For those of you who missed it on Kaminsky DNS Bug Claimed Fixed By 1-Character Patch · · Score: 1

    A detailed explanation of the Kaminsky exploit can be found here: http://thefrozenfire.com/data/dnspoisoning.html

  2. I have the whole thing reasonably well formatted on Kaminsky's DNS Attack Disclosed, Then Pulled · · Score: 4, Informative

    See http://thefrozenfire.com/data/dnspoisoning.html for the whole deal, without the pastebin RAW formatting ;)

  3. Here's a hint on Rowling Sues Harry Potter Lexicon · · Score: 1

    Disable Javascript! Some people can be a little thick. Maybe if Rowling and her lawyer put their heads together, they may think to Google how to bypass those right-click disabling scripts.

  4. I do agree on Forget Math to Become a Great Computer Scientist? · · Score: 1

    I completely agree with this. I am a computer science student, and I am terrible at math. I repeated entire high-school math classes just to pass. However, I am at the top of my Computer Science classes. I excel to the degree that I have obtained high-class contracts for programming.

  5. Sound concept on Fuzzing Toolkit For Web Server Testing · · Score: 1

    The concept seems to be a sound one. Sending random input to your web service in a repeatable fashion, but are the tools intuitive? Do they detect the different systems you are running? (ie. an Internet Posting Board) Do they keep track of recent exploits in the wild?

  6. My experience on Wireless Networks Causing Headaches For Businesses · · Score: 1

    I too have had such an experience. I work at a fairly small resort on the beach. We offer WiFi via two access points in the resort. There is such interference, only one person can use the WiFi at a time. If two people connect to the WiFi, the connection drop altogether. We have theorized that this is the result of a couple filing cabinets, and a wall. The WiFi is 2.4GHz, and it cannot even penetrate a single wall!

  7. Star Trek revisited on Quantum Dots Might Be Key For Teleportation · · Score: 1

    Don't bother beaming me up Scotty, there actually IS intelligent life out there!

  8. The blind leading the blind on Robots To Replace Migrant Fruit Pickers · · Score: 1

    We all have heard the phrase "The blind leading the blind", well now we have the economically blind leading the virtually blind.

  9. How about In-Game rules? on Congress to Revisit Virtual Goods Taxation · · Score: 1

    As many of you know, many of the games, for which these virtual traders trade their goods, have an explicit no Real World trading rule imposed on the economy. My question is: Will congress take into consideration this very important fact? Imposing a tax on illicit trading ingame is like taxing the drug trade. It shouldn't be happening in the first place!

  10. Yes, oh yes. on Identity Thief Apprehended By Victim · · Score: 1

    Oh poetic irony, thy name is this article.

  11. Linking RL with the IL on Online Reputation Is Hard To Do · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Even still, it is hard to rank someones reputation based on a numbers system. In alot of forums I post on, I am a regular poster with a high rank. However, alot of people have an issue with me because of my free speech (the beauty of the internet). Is there really a standardized way to determine reputation? It really has to do with the context. If you are on a programming forum, you may rank someone based on their aptitude for a specific language, or their problem-solving skills. Conversely, if you are on a political debate forum, ones reputation may be based on how fluently their opinions are expressed.

  12. Their weapon of choice. on Russia Claims IP Rights In Manufacture of AK-47 · · Score: 1

    Not surprising as this is the Russian weapon of choice. My fathers partner, an ex-russian citizen, was taught during High School to field strip an AK-47 Assault Rifle.

    The question is, how will this "intellectual property" be protected? Will international sanctions be enforced upon any nation that does not follow suit?

  13. I recently had the opportunity to do so. on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recently had the opportunity to do so. What I did was, I ran cat5e throughout the house. Instead of using cat3 for the telephones, I just put the phones on the unused pair of the cat5. This allowed me to have ethernet at every phone outlet, just having to install an RJ45 Jack. I ran all of the wires to a large switch, and the phone to the phone box. I didn't get around to it, but essentially I could have set a computer up as a router/home control system. You could theoretically have ethernet-aware appliances, speakers, etc. You would control those from your home control system.

  14. Stupid on New "Get a Mac" TV ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure everyone noticed this, but I find it stupid that the PC is totally misrepresented. Mac cannot run most of the programs which most people are used to using, and alot of games are not playable on Mac. Perhaps Apple would be better off showing how Macs are ACTUALLY better than PC's.
