Posted in Joe Public invited to hunt God particle
If they don't find it
It will be the "dog particle"
Weird stuff
"He witnessed an advanced man-in-the-middle attack operating on both CDMA and UMTS networks and masterminded by an amalgam of Anon and Lulz."
I don't know why but this sentence caused dissociative disorder in my brain.

Ruh-Roh!
So what are they actually doing that can be separated-out in portions manageable by non-communicating classical computers? Statistics?
AFAIK, computing anything quantum on classical machines needs very tight coupling between the nodes.
Posted in New DVD discs claim 1,000 year life
Yeah!
Sounds good though one has await until confirmation comes in that the marketing chicken has indeed managed to cross the reality road.
"Does anyone have a punch card reader...?"
No, but I'm sure one an A-Team could wire one up over the weekend, with pure optical lecture and all. In the future, I would expect that to pull a physical image of the 2000-year-old disk you found behind the plaster wall into memory at 1nm³ voxel size should be possible with your handheld tricorder.
And then it turns it it contains porn.
Posted in iPhone 4 prototype journo off the hook
A DA who decides that enough is enough?
Praise Be!
Now I want to know how many taxpayer $$$ have been blown on this Apple Ego Trip.
Conspiracy much?
"So Google sponsors front groups, think tanks, academic's legal departments, all waging the fight against copyright and patents."
Oh noes! Koch-brother-style astroturfing! What if they convince us? WHAT IF THEY ARE RIGHT!
"Why don't you give your book away for free?"
Wrong question.
The correct one is: what will keep me from grabbing your book for free?
What will keep me from doing that is: 1) Can buy at amazon in two clicks 2) If I'm interested I consider shelling out the correct thing to do.
Not 2) is not your market anyway.
State-Guaranteed IP protection stopping me from doing so? Not so much.
Posted in $25 toy radio used to knock out feds
Not getting anything done here, do we?
"The first problem is that key distribution doesn't always work, so the team found users frequently get cut out and have to ask the rest of the group to switch off encryption for the duration of the operation."
Reminds me of Generation Kill where the guys in Humvees don't have the keys for the Cavalry Division's Choppers and so cannot either find out what they are doing dropping bombs just in front of them or massacring civvies. Can't remember which. Upon which general gallic shrugging ensues.
Open-sourced RSA solutions?
That's for smart people.
Posted in Who'd buy a fake battery?
How weird
"Where IP isn't effectively policed, the business soon falls into the hands of the (real) mafia."
As opposed to the other (real) mafia of the IP-enforcing government?
Look, are there any real problems that might need solving? Who buys fake Vodka or fake pharmaceuticals? Well, the latter case I understand what with our IP-enforcers and legislators keeping stuff expensive or off-market if not hidden behind an MD-paywall.
"55 per cent of respondents found a link between IP crime and benefit fraud"
What's that then? Distillers applying for stimulus money?
I don't tink so.
"Just being slightly more capable means you can destroy the enemy every time, no matter what."
Only in Hollywood and neocon tech-jock talking circles.
eBay will be POSITIVELY AWASH in electronic gadgets
Maybe there will also be people trying to print money on liberated colour printers?
Guess the "mainstream" economists cannot say anything against THAT.
You couldn't pay for it on the Unix
1) Expensive hardware
2) Expensive OS (Minix doesn't count)
3) Expensive GUI (shell out extra for the Motif Widget set an a C compiler? Sure)
4) Expensive Applications ("get a quote from our salesdroid by call 1-800-military-industrial-only")
5) There was no O'Reilly or amazon and a rare Internet Access Point so... no docs!
Lock in? Hell yeah.
Hah!
1) Dox them to the Defense League
2) Buy Popcorn
3) ???
4) When worlds collide.
But couldn't care less for Tea Partiers, but...
"against waste and taxes but stand for NOTHING"
I think if people stood less for something, this would be a far better world.
You know that!
1) It is illegal in Iowa to dismember a corpse in order to hide a crime.
2) With Caylee's Law (i.e. the anti-Casey-Anthony law), it will be illegal to NOT call police if you haven't seen your brat for 48h and he/she turns up dead afterwards.
It's like a series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, only more real.
It's a steak out!
With fries.
And what's with the US and their perpetual putting down of ANY entrepreneurial free-market activity?
Then Obama goes out and say His Country will always be AAA.
Like hell it will. Can't even get service.
Posted in Videogames caused riots says plod
Now I want an explanation for...
...the LA riots back in '90.
It was probably too many episodes of "Miami Vice".
So say we all
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
Wasn't that "Captain Swing"?
Or maybe General Ludd.
"Resentful and rebellious, especially against authority."
Welcome to Generation Entitled.
Same as Greece, I reckon.
Keep your blunderbuss loaded!
The legalese dump is fine
But I still need more information on this redirect thing. How does it work exactly? What's the relationship between the addy pushers and the ISPs? What's that browser bar search thing?
Posted in IBM yanks chain on 'Blue Waters' super
Title goes here
"During the Great Recession, both companies were losing money"
I like how this somehow implies that the "Great Recession" is in the past, instead moving from worse to worserest.
If it's too expensive, and the future is uncertain, to stop it is the correct decision. One can come back later, when it is again within technological and economic reach. The building can be used to store mugs and beer kegs.
Keynesians looking for spending targets may disagree, but then again, they would smash the finished machine to bits just to have good reason to buy another one.
Teleporting in more creeps, this place isn't crazy enough!
When did the whole Interweb transform into a real-life version of Black Mesa Research Facilities?
Madness.
I'm off to check out blog site.
Didn't we hack lots of hardware around the Y2K cliffs like that?
Yes, yes we did!
Posted in Apple sued over Mac OS X 'quick boot'
Then the only question is...
...why are you for patent protection?
It's retarded stuff for a retarded jury talking about #angels on pins.
Anyone who has ever done anything more than hacking 5-liners KNOWS that there quite possibly might be an "Intellectual Property" attorney in some office somewhere in the world who might well have your name on a cease-and-desist letter in a not-too-distant future.
But you have to ignore that and hope like hell there isn't any.
Yes, this is the state of the business landscape.
If Google needs a license and didn't pay it - FINE!
But this patent stuff should just lead to public burnings of the naked, mutilated bodies of the legal professional involved as well as the CEOs, CIOs, CTOs pushing that kind of crap.
He thinks he can troll!
laughinggirls.jpg
Pathetic attempt at trolling is pathetic.
Bizarre statements found in the morning.
"Right now the amount of money that Google and Facebook are making is tiny, in the big picture, but it is increasing and the operators are about to spend billions building next-generation networks so that Google and Facebook can make more money faster."
This is like complaining that poor, poor Dell is forced to build PC in a sweatshop so that Microsoft can then rake in all the cash.
Network operators build networks so that people can buy network services.
Google and Facebook build ... whatever ... so that advertisers buy advertisement services.
If network operator want to sell advertisement services they are not network operators. They are Google. Or Facebook.
At least some people like it

"Gnome is moving in the same direction as the industry and that is fine by me."
All aboard the train to hell.
Must be the same one where there are lots of "mainstream/gummint economists" in the 1st class wagons.
So it's like Google's SOAP and UDDI?
GOODDI?
Yeah, right.
It's clearly Scientology.
I mean, if Xenu was found hiding under the sands of Mars, you know ... well ... I really don't know what would happen. Except that it wouldn't be good.
Like Chtulhu.
Only more gay.
Hubertus Bigend is on the phone, wants his drone back.
I want me one.
Restriction of surveillance powers to the Mobsters in Government Buildings is oh so very predictable though. And they have legal immunity.
"Console yourself"?
Yep, bring up that terminal.
HURRRRR!!
All algorithms can be broken?
No.
The RSA cryptosystem for example, cannot be "broken" unless some very interesting advances in mathematics are realized. These advances may or may not exist.
Mysterious indeed.
At least there are no facehuggers.
So how do these error messages look like?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Think out of the cardboard box.
“Whose problem is this to fix? LastPass did everything correctly. It's the other extension developers that developed an extension with a vulnerability in it.”
Then LastPass's approach doesn't make sense in the current setting and a sane situation is out of reach. If security depends on other developers doing the right thing, you are hosed. The browser needs to be fixed, the approach needs to be fixed or scrapped.
It's like with Social Security. You can't afford it. Cuts or more taxes? You still can't afford it. It doesn't make sense - it's economically out of reach.
Posted in Hobbyist killed by home-made hovercraft
That's pretty sad
Man puts good time into his hobby, accident occurs. No-one deserves to be killed by his creation. Though I make an exception for the creature from Jekyll Island.
How is that different from falling off a ladder while painting the house, pray tell?
Also, is regulation now so pervasive that it's noteworthy that something isn't regulated?
Arrr!!
"When workers no longer have the means to purchase goods"
...then prices will go down, except if someone is pumping out the fiat money of course.
"the system will crumble and many more people will be on social care programs"
which are being financed by tax money seized from what's actually left of the economy???
I know that getting a somewhat accurate feeling for the economy is about as hard as going from simple arithmetic to differential equations [and most economists are struggling with just simple bidirectional causal relationships], but try to get with the program.
"Universities around the country are oversubscribed this year"
Ohm trying to outstudy the recession, are we?
That's not gonna work. It will still be there in five years' time.
Well, I just hope people do some hard science stuff, not that financial, economy, sociology or homeopathy crap.
You know that!
In Canada, slamming Israel without in the same phrase slamming random other icky fascist types in a fair and balanced way will cause you to fall afoul of the law!
Dont acte!
Kick the ass of those emo liberal tweeters, I say.
"But other tweeters soon waded in, pointing out that Bannatyne was making very public illegal threats."
Oh no it's illegal!! We have to point it out!!!
What are these people doing tweeting? Don't they have to support Obama doing the debt ceiling thing?
Invisible magic computer!
I would like to see the kind of gear that runs this in anything approaching real time. Working through 20 tera-polygons is no mean feat.
Realistically, compare with: http://artis.imag.fr/Publications/2009/CNLE09/
Moose Feminists
They moan all the time but all they need is ...err.... better partners.
Maybe...but!
Undeterred by the approach being impossible? Not being transformed into a quivering wreck of fear by the possibility making the house sarcophagus-ready? Unafraid of spicing up the ramen with splattered Americium?
Hardcore.
A budding Black Mesa whitecoat, I say.
Posted in Dawn eyes Vesta's full-frontal charms
More lifeless barren rock....
My inner Rockefeller demands to MINE THIS POTATOE!
Random anti-capitalism bollocks?
Listen, child: Learn2Capitalism.
It is not "rent-seeking behaviour" prodded along by members of the bar association.
http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/againstfinal.htm
See something, say something.
Yes. Any thoughts about having a "stateless society" needs to be reported forthwith. We can't have that, who will pay our pensions? Who will give us the nice blue uniforms? Who will tell us to bomb random people in faraway lands? Who will help us transform undesirable immigrants into useful soap?
