This is much better than password alone - and very nice usability-wise. But it significantly increases the area that you need to trust to be safe. I would not like to have it for all of my accounts. But would be cool if my bank used this sy

less than a minute is more than enough to transfer your money to a place where you will never see it again. ;-)

I think using the password alone in the bank is a stupid idea in the first place. If all that stands between my dollars and miscreants is a few characters - this is careless to say the least. Think trojans/keyloggers. My bank gives me a sma

My point was: "can" != "should". At least not in case of serious development. For myself - I'd probably consider using this to tinker with XCode and see if maybe I should get myself a Mac if I get into iP(hone|ad) app development beyond try

This is pretty cool, thanks. Do you know of any tutorials that would guide the Apple-noob through the process of compiling a "Hello, world!" type of App for iPad/iPhone entirely on linux ? The ones I found were talking mostly of Objective C

I think there is a difference between "effectiveness of the tool in general" vs. "effectiveness of a tool for the particular purpose". Pliers are a fantastic tool. You can even put the screws in with it. But it is a very poor tool for putti

Another way to see that there are no magic "dynamically selected" potrs is to run on the server "tcpdump src x.x.x.x or dst x.x.x.x" where the x.x.x.x is your client address - and check the outputs - the packets will have ports in them. Alt

"I'm not exactly proud of every song that makes it to my most-played list." It would be very interesting for me if you might write up a few lines on "why", if you can.

I think the observable result is a confirmation of the well known rule: "people, in their vast majority, are good."

That'd be way disproportional. And there could be a totally unrelated people who might suffer from the result of that experiment. Just get the money back on the card. As a side effect he can claim the karma points for the entire good deed h

Now the community should do a social experiment of encouraging Sam to return the same amount of money onto the card as he stole and see if it works.

Wow. the equation for computing of the hand scaling velocity is a gem. It computes, when translated, how much the distance between the fingers changed per the time interval... or... yes, hand scaling velocity! I hesitate to call this an "ad

So then maybe you could give second thought to sending these mails in the first place. For me, they are the first thing I filter to /dev/null when I sign up for social-like service. I have in the ballpark of 300 people in my circles - so I

Indeed - in a hurry it is very much possible indeed to make a mistake (also, an average mom or pop would not necessarily know the difference between the "wireless" and "broadband"... Mind if I steal this pic for a blog post ? (Or if you pla

I agree with the fact that doing it at Defcon is ten times better than doing it at, say, LeWeb. But I question the overall value of this activity for the society, compared to other things.

Wow, interesting, thanks! Hopefully at least the icons are different... If not - it's worth complaining about that somewhere so the MS folks can fix that - since it's a fairly obvious hole to exploit (and not too difficult to fix). Any chan

While in the US I've seen devices that have a SIM card and WiFi. I don't remember if it was Verizon or not, though. It could be that you use one of these ? Or you insert the SIM card into the notebook itself ? If yes, would be curious to kn

If you're looking for the coding jobs, ask them if: - they have a github profile - they have a stackoverflow profile - they have a linkedin profile (the latter will go for a CV - I actually used it when one $reasonably_big_and_known_company

You can't mask wifi as a mobile broadband connection. (If you know how to do it, please share - I'd be interested to know!) I'd venture to guess they hacked some of the femtocell gear, or maybe used for the evil the gear from openbts projec

I ponder the quality of the GUI is a testament to the frequency of the mechanism's use. But the worse GUI is arguably better than no GUI at all: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8196 and http://stackoverflow.com/questio

For the HTTP joke to be funny, you would need to sniff the content-type first.
