Comment Not in my experience (Score 4, Informative) 182

I work for a Electronic Payments/ATM/Point of Sale/Card Issuer company. If the PIN is in the clear after being decrypted at the bank/card issuer then that is the bank/card issuers issue and not the payment industries fault. The bank/card issuer needs to look at their software vendor who is not secure, as the PIn should never be in the clear. If the HSM device is giving up the key, then that HSM vendor is not secure. How is the hacker getting access to even itneract with the HSM device. These are usually held in a secure environment network and physical access. If the HSM device is not in a secure area then some one has to be responsible for over looking this. These HSM devices are set to self destruct if tampered with. The article calls for a radical change to the payment industry, but all these issues can be resolved with regulation and I belive these rules are already in place. The PCI auditors should be catching these items.

When will the RIAA stop wasting money on these cases? There is no way they are ever going to win settlements or recover damages that offset their cost it takes to litigate. I guess the RIAA lawyers are making money though, not like they are going to recommend to stop the pursuit.

Comment Graphic features? (Score 3, Interesting) 75

Perhaps the windows driver has some graphic features enabled and the linux one does not (like trlinear filtering, shaders, etc). Not enough tech output to make a good conclusion.
way back in Quake 3 days I thought Linux was running Quake3 faster than Windows on my nvidia card, only to realize the linux driver did not have one of the graphics features turned on, which caused it to run faster with the same in game settings.

I am fine with this. If I decide I do need the app, it is nice to not have to find the install media or do a download. I am glad they have the ability to some what 'kill' the app. When I go to Windows 7, I will kill everything but IE (I have websites that require it that I need). This is at least a step in the right direction. They also are not installing some applications by default anymore in Windows 7, and you have to get them if you want to from the download site.

It should go beyond this. Make it where if you get a Passport or State ID you should have to give a DNA sample. Helps verify your identity and in case you are involved in a crime investigation the government knows who you are and possibly where you live.
