Comment Don't forget..... (Score 2) 228

People like me who, 2.5 years ago, said FU big cable companies and pulled the plug completely. There is plenty to see in full bandwidth HD over the airwaves (as opposed to compressed to hell and back before the cable company send it down my wire). All I miss is ESPN. TNT would be nice during the NBA playoffs. All in all I save $100/month (at least) and still see most NFL games I want.

ESPN should set up local OTA affiliates, I'd pay $10/month. Besides that I won't pay for any television.

Comment Judge and cops are the criminals here (Score 1) 327

The evil in this is the police know there is no merit at all to the charges. The judge knows this also. They have no intention of making fools of themselves by trying to prosecute this. This is a conspiracy of the worst kind... the kind that violates the public trust in them as people who uphold the law.

They are corrupt and want to actually find out who this guy is so they can do what cops do best, make life miserable for the person. The cops, judge, and any other bureaucrat involved should all be held responsible. Unfortunately there is no one policing the police so these kinds of things go unpunished.

To me this should be a felony and these slimy cops and judges should be made an example of.

no link to the actual tool?!? wtf

Article said "released" and "will release shortly". Take your pick I guess?

At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas Wednesday, Kaminsky released a free software tool for detecting when an Internet service provider (ISP) is artificially slowing down or speeding up traffic to and from a website, a program the well-known security researcher is calling N00ter, or “neutral router.”

Then:

N00ter, a tool that Kaminsky plans to release in coming weeks

Comment 30 years ago... (Score 1) 674

30 years ago... was before the heinous effects of Reaganomics had destroyed the middle class and people were more likely to spend the money on top dollar electronics. These days it all about making it cheaper, not better. I still have my Infinity Qb speakers from 1978.

I also still hate Reagan and the ridiculous "trickle down economics" theory that eventually brought this country to it's knees in the fall of 2008.

...but am I the only one who is very hesitant about storing my precious passwords "in the cloud"? I use this gvim gpg plugin to encrypt my passwords, on my own terms, and I make them accessible to myself by any number of ways that I control.

Is this so incredibly difficult to do for most people that they must depend upon others to maintain their personal data?

I use Lastpass but not for "precious passwords". I could care less if they steal all my web forum logins etc. The important ones like online retailers who have personal info, banks, etc. I store in my head.

Most people I know use 123456 or password as their password everywhere then wonder how sh*t happens. If I ever get compromised at a sensitive site it's not because *I* didn't try, it's because I have no control over what happens to my 'net packets after they leave the router. Many sites really make me wonder if they are protecting their data as I would like.
