Stop-and-Frisk was not outlawed and is still very much alive. The closet fascists in the federal appeals court did not like Judge Shira Scheindlin's decision one bit so they had her removed from the case and blocked her decision. This was all based on some flimsy "impartiality" charge.

The certificate was not acquired; it was derived through a cryptographic attack on MD5 called a chosen-prefix collision attack.

In short, the authors of Flame forged a certificate whose MD5 hash matched a valid Microsoft certificate and then used this to sign the malware. The big fuckup here was that Microsoft was still using MD5 in 2012 when it was known to be broken since 2004. The moral of the story here is to never use MD5 for anything.

Can you please explain the $1.25 -> $25 calculation. Do you have a source for this information?

Holy crap this video is awesome. Thanks

More like a 20 to 30 million year recovery. And more like 0 humans left. Extinct.

The Clathrate gun hypothesis

They must be talking about asspennies.

Why does he fancy eating chunks of his own toe cheese in public?

I wonder if he'll pull an OJ and try to break in and steal it.

Quick, someone tell Curt to auction off his bloody sock!

Not sure if trolling, or just really stupid.

Wow. You are a pedant troll. Go back to kindergarten where you belong.

Calm down. I know what secureboot is. I should have said it is a Windows thing since the fear is MS will be conspiring with PC makers to lock out linux using it. I was simply trying to give you an example of such a feature progression.

Umm, you asked for an example of such a feature creeping its way in and I gave you one.

SecureBoot is just a Windows thing too. If you just build you own computer from scratch you aren't hamstrung by SecureBoot.

One major one that I can think of is the kernel mode code signing policy for all 64-bit versions of windows starting with Vista. In XP it was something that you could turn on. With Vista it became harder and harder to turn off. Now you can turn it off with a BIOS setting or something but the OS will refuse to play any protected DRM content. There were a few hacks published that got around all of this.

So the answer to your question is a definite yes.

Throw the idiot in jail when it doesn't work.
