Comment False Claim! (Score 1) 150

by diegocn (#35708492) Attached to: China Detects 10 Cases of Radiation Contamination, 2 In Hospital

I live in Japan and I can tell you that China did not immediately send support; they sent a handful of people after several days, and finally ramped things up when it ...

After the quake, a 15 men rescue team was sent along with tons of supplies and money donation

The version I've heard from Chinese media was Chinese government organized a much larger rescue team within 24 hours of earthquake. But Japanese government held up the offer, gave priority to it's western allies first, before finally accepting a much smaller sized 15-men rescue team from China.

While Japanese government's action is understandable from a political stand point, it none the less had hurt Chinese people's feeling. Now seeing troll like you claiming falsified information is like putting salt on the wound.

This is business as usual for relations between Japan and China. Google last year's scuffle when a Chinese trawler rammed a Japanese coast guard ship and see what you get.

And the tension between China-Japan relationship is largely contributed by trolls like you on both side.

Lie Detector Company Threatens Critical Scientists With Suit 367

Posted by timothy from the slapp-ing-them-around dept.
An anonymous reader writes "The Swedish newspaper DN reports that the Israeli company Nemesysco has sent letters to researchers at the University of Stockholm, threatening legal action if they do not stop publishing findings (Google translation). An article called 'Charlatanry in forensic speech science: A problem to be taken seriously' was pulled by the publisher after threats of a libel lawsuit." Online translations can be a little wonky; if your Swedish is as bad as mine, this English-language article describes the situation well.

GPUs Used To Crack WiFi Passwords Faster 189

Posted by CmdrTaco from the security-tools-yeah-right dept.
MojoKid writes "Russian-based ElcomSoft has just released ElcomSoft Wireless Security Auditor 1.0, which can take advantage of both Nvidia and ATI GPUs. ElcomSoft claims that the software uses a 'proprietary GPU acceleration technology,' which implies that neither CUDA, Stream, nor OpenCL are being utilized in this instance. At its heart, what ElcomSoft Wireless Security Auditor does is perform brute-force dictionary attacks of WPA and WPA2 passwords. If an access point is set up using a fairly insecure password that is based on dictionary words, there is a higher likelihood that a password can be guessed. ElcomSoft positions the software as a way to 'audit' wireless network security."

When inquired about RH or Oracle's support-oriented model, he called them "a minority", and also criticised Stallman's ideas as "belonging to the past" where there were no software "business posibilities"."
