Nine out of Ten lost or stolen in the UK? I have to wonder if seeing abandoned laptops laying around is commonplace there. I don't think I have ever seen a "lost" computer just waiting for me to pick it up. There must be something about the culture that only 10% of the population can keep track of their gadgets. I am reminded of people you see on the beach with metal detectors trying to find lost and dropped jewelery and coins. I may have to make a trip to the UK and ride trains looking for discarded hardware.

Submission + - GoDaddy wants your root password (sucuri.net)

It turns out the attempt was actually from within GoDaddy's network. Before he could "alert" GoDaddy about the security breach, he got an email from GoDaddy Demanding his root login credentials.

There is an update where GoDaddy explains itself and says they will change policy."

Journal Journal: Cryptome Taken Offline by Microsoft DMCA Filing 2

Journal by chill

As of about 2:00 p.m. EST today, Cryptome.org has been taken offline by their host and Registrar, Network Solutions. It seems Microsoft filed a copyright-infringement DMCA takedown notice relating to a Microsoft’s “Global Criminal Compliance Handbook,” a comprehensive, 22-page guide running down the surveillance services Microsoft will perform for law enforcement agencies on its various online platforms. Network Solutions took the extra step of locking the domain to preven

Apparently, owning a copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook is a jailable offense. I therefore should report amazon.co.uk who sells it. And since its not limited to british sites, I am pretty sure I read on wikipedia the mechanics on how thermonuclear weapons work. At least 1940s/1950s era weapons. In a world where information is criminal, only criminals will have information.

Journal Journal: Meta-Modding

Journal by Johnny Fusion

One of my favorite thing to do on slashdot is to find unfair mods of "troll" in meta-moderating. I have one -1 Troll post, and I think it unfair, so I take glee, when I see an unfair rating of troll, I really do.

Jolt Finder story is still pending.

Journal Journal: The agony of waiting

Journal by Johnny Fusion

So I was lead to believe that story submissions would be accepted or rejected in hours. Its been two days. I'm hoping this is a good sign, that maybe they are "saving it" for a slow day (is there such a thing?) or as a "quickie" whatever that is.

Its agony to see it "pending" for two days though, agony.

Journal Journal: Story Submitted

Journal by Johnny Fusion
So I submitted a story about Jolt Finder to slashdot today. Now I am waiting to see if its approved or rejected.

If it is rejected, I will be disapointed, but a little relieved, and probably think Jolt Finder was a waste of time. If its accepted ... well... I'll be very very happy.

Journal Journal: Musing on Bits and Bytes and relation to coinage

Journal by Johnny Fusion

So I see something totally clueless in a slashdot user's .sig the other day:

10 Bits= $.25 100 Bits= $.50 110 Bits= $.75 1000 Bits= 1 byte

Man this guy is wrong on so many fronts. If it is suppossed to be a joke, the humor has escaped me. The math is bad. The conversions incorrect. But it did trip my mind into thinking of the relationship between the shave and hair cut, 2 bits, and 8 bits in a Byte.

So the quick conversion:
