Salting passwords usually stops people from using a dictionary hack on them but if the random salt was also given out then it would be a security risk...depends on the exact type of encryption which is used (md5/SHA-1 etc)

CompSci boffins tout file encryption for Google Docs

Shane8
WTF?

mmmm

Your company allows you to post/backup/distribute sensitive material through 3rd party services like dropbox and google rather than their own sftp ?

If ever need be, i heard you could encrypt archives for just the occasion...although its a good idea, i dont see it being needed/used in business environments, but maybe thats just my opinion.

Google asked to bin autocomplete results for Japanese man's name

Shane8
Trollface

[quote]

Google argues that the autocomplete results cannot violate privacy because they are automatically generated and depend on what is already available on the internet.

Google does currently censor autocomplete results to exclude porn, violence, swear-words and searches that could lead to copyright violations. It has not yet done so for cases of personal defamation.

wait, there is porn and violence on the internet??? Why didn't google tell me about this!

SOPA is dead. Are you happy now?

Shane8
Pint

TPB said it better!

[quote]

The word SOPA means "trash" in Swedish. The word PIPA means "a pipe" in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence.

They want to make the internet inte a one way pipe, with them at the top, shoving trash through the pipe down to the

rest of us obedient consumers.

The public opinion on this matter is clear. Ask anyone on the street and you'll learn that noone wants to be fed with

trash. Why the US government want the american people to be fed with trash is beyond our imagination but we hope that

you will stop them, before we all drown.

@PS3

I brought the PS3 to play 2 games on, a cheap blue ray player (at the time) and to run linux on.

Also, yes it was one of their selling points advertised quite alot as an additional feature of the PS3 to get more audiences interested in it. I considered one time purchasing 5 to run in a server farm because they ran so well....i know there are companies which have also done this, wonder what they are doing now....

Shane8

Sony

I for one will be boycotting sony products, for anyone buying things from them just keep in mind....

All the features it says you get, do you really think you will be keeping them all after a few months? Look at the PS3. nuff said.
