Passwords are such a stupid way to secure things - (drook) - (6) - July 20, 2018, 03:32:09 PM EDT

I've seen a number of login schemes that involve emailing a logged-in link - (malraux) - (1) - July 20, 2018, 04:27:45 PM EDT

What do you do about access from multiple machines? - (Another Scott) - (2) - Aug. 22, 2018, 08:58:24 PM EDT

That's what the "forgot password" link is for >:-) -NT - (scoenye) - Aug. 24, 2018, 03:14:15 PM EDT

Yep, cloud storage - (pwhysall) - Aug. 28, 2018, 04:02:13 AM EDT

High waisted acid-washed jeans and Ray Bans are back, so yeah, it's the 80s -NT - (drook) - (1) - June 22, 2018, 06:47:29 AM EDT

Ray Bans left? -NT - (boxley) - June 22, 2018, 12:38:00 PM EDT

Well, at least he does not use email. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - June 22, 2018, 05:43:32 PM EDT

Intel keeps on giving - (scoenye) - (23) - Jan. 2, 2018, 09:34:39 PM EST

17-33% hit to processing speed? This is going to hurt me -NT - (boxley) - (2) - Jan. 2, 2018, 10:46:24 PM EST

Same. - (malraux) - (1) - Jan. 3, 2018, 03:47:42 PM EST

we have both kinds of VMs oversubscribed and thin provisioned -NT - (boxley) - Jan. 3, 2018, 06:30:29 PM EST

"Speculative Execution™" ... whazzup? with a self-parody like That. Love. It. Roll dice, croupier! - (Ashton) - Jan. 4, 2018, 04:32:05 PM EST

Not just Intel: everyone gets to play with Spectre! -NT - (pwhysall) - Jan. 4, 2018, 04:53:31 PM EST

has anyone looked at the source code of the linux patches to see what they are doing yet? - (boxley) - (5) - Jan. 4, 2018, 10:28:50 PM EST

I wouldn't know what I was looking at - (drook) - (3) - Jan. 4, 2018, 10:49:08 PM EST

I understand the summaries and I used to build drivers (a long time ago) - (boxley) - (2) - Jan. 4, 2018, 10:56:17 PM EST

some code snippets on explaining the issue issue from google - (boxley) - (1) - Jan. 4, 2018, 11:00:02 PM EST

Given the accelerating, historical skull-buggery of the species, immanent-in and causal - (Ashton) - (7) - Jan. 5, 2018, 03:06:53 AM EST

Was it accident or malice? - (drook) - (6) - Jan. 5, 2018, 09:17:56 AM EST

Most of the informed speculation I've seen seems to lean toward "accident". - (CRConrad) - (4) - Jan. 5, 2018, 09:54:59 AM EST

Oh, who wants "informed" speculation ... I'll take the good old "wild" myself -NT - (drook) - Jan. 5, 2018, 10:48:56 AM EST

This. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Jan. 5, 2018, 10:51:09 AM EST

No, that's not their job - (drook) - (1) - Jan. 5, 2018, 11:54:41 AM EST

But "our" stuff _i_s_ "their" stuff nowadays. - (CRConrad) - Jan. 8, 2018, 04:31:45 AM EST

And AMD, and Apple, and POWER... -NT - (pwhysall) - Jan. 9, 2018, 01:53:06 PM EST

How do I research a hack tool? - (drook) - (9) - Dec. 30, 2017, 01:53:08 PM EST

Dunno. Contact your computing appliance vendor? - (Another Scott) - (1) - Dec. 30, 2017, 02:07:44 PM EST

Yeah, Dreamhost noticed it about 5 hours before I did - (drook) - Dec. 30, 2017, 02:50:04 PM EST

I'll see your WPA flaw... - (scoenye) - (14) - Oct. 16, 2017, 08:33:34 PM EDT

Interesting. - (Another Scott) - (13) - Oct. 16, 2017, 09:16:28 PM EDT

Good point! - (a6l6e6x) - (12) - Oct. 17, 2017, 10:57:39 AM EDT

That's not the promise - (drook) - (10) - Oct. 17, 2017, 12:32:30 PM EDT

I don't even think that's true any more. - (pwhysall) - (9) - Oct. 17, 2017, 01:38:23 PM EDT

But where's the fun in that? -NT - (drook) - Oct. 17, 2017, 02:53:09 PM EDT

Most computer generated code I've seen is pretty awful. - (Andrew Grygus) - (7) - Oct. 17, 2017, 03:44:19 PM EDT

Yabbut ... - (drook) - (6) - Oct. 17, 2017, 03:46:09 PM EDT

Performance, maybe? -NT - (Andrew Grygus) - (5) - Oct. 17, 2017, 05:28:39 PM EDT

Better hardware is cheaper than a good developer -NT - (drook) - (4) - Oct. 17, 2017, 07:21:36 PM EDT

A major reason why computer generated code is so bad. - (Andrew Grygus) - (3) - Oct. 17, 2017, 09:11:03 PM EDT

I can see both sides. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Oct. 17, 2017, 11:14:48 PM EDT

I think you have the prices of the GPU and CPU switched around ;-) -NT - (scoenye) - Oct. 18, 2017, 07:45:02 AM EDT

165MB seems a lot, but let's think about it: - (pwhysall) - Oct. 18, 2017, 08:06:06 AM EDT

In this case, it doesn't really apply - (scoenye) - Oct. 17, 2017, 06:18:18 PM EDT

DEFCON attendees hack US voting machines in minutes, exploit multiple vulnerabilities - (Ashton) - (3) - July 31, 2017, 07:58:38 PM EDT

Some needed physical access which is something. - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - Aug. 1, 2017, 12:02:02 AM EDT

It's just as well that no-one comes into physical proximity with voting machines, then. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Aug. 1, 2017, 07:41:32 AM EDT

Right! :) -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Aug. 1, 2017, 11:18:20 AM EDT
