alternatively

law enforcement hands over evidence/phone to multinational company.

instructs/contracts said company to extract cryptographic key.

company hands back phone either sans security or with working entry code.

i suppose the issue here might be apple may contaminate or plant evidence on the phone.

surely an observer or process could be put in place to curicumvent this.

it seems to me that there is a much more acceptable middle ground answer rather than the lets break all the iphone security the feds are after.

surely extracting the potential info on that phone is going to be helpful in putting this case to bed.

but taking down an entire company's security measure potentially is bound to have dire circumstances.

was waiting for this one.

Aha! read this one on the age at 10:30 last night and just shook my head.

Was waiting, just waiting for it crop up on El Reg.

I hope whoever claims IT responsibility gets a foot-up-arse. Ideally more than once.

I bet they are on a pretty pay packet too.

And bollocks to there wasn't enough money or what ever the lame excuse it is they may have for running these 15 year old os'.

No excuse for someone who gets paid a fuck ton of money to be running these machines in production environments.

and yet

no one's completely explained why larger animals require less energy and live longer.

there's a correlation, certainly.

i would suspect there would be something to do with energy requirements and telomeres and things.

anyway i find it fascinating the smaller you are (ant man) the more magical things you can seem to do.

sustain huge drops, lift amazing (proportionately) mass.

but you pay the price, as you lose volume ergo heat quicker you need a metabolism to cater to that, etc etc. utterly fascinating causal relationships.

SCIENCE!

cite all the things

that pdf's pretty tenuous in terms of scope, definition and goal isn't it?

any public policy worth it's salt needs to be ambiguous

pornography's just a handy scapegoat to "think of the the children." as the auth kind of implies.

the fact that the kids are just as likely watching isis pop prisoner's heads off with explosive wire probably wont be analysed and evaluated now will it?

thanks Obama Helen

i am having a tough time believing this one, for several reasons.

one, i may be a simpleton,

two, mitm's are still viable vector in this day n age, ???

trois, pledge()

holy moly i'm missing something, how can the hardware defer so much security (adj.) between components without a pertinent syn, ack security (verb.) challenge.

it seems to me that would be the kind of thing you pay wisp devs to hard code to units, again, i may be wrong here.

i guess if you want your roaming in billy basic SE Asia, APac or E Europe this is the price you pay?

too much Mr. Robot for this guy.

also convicted guy owes 9k for assault, got what he deserved, someone kindly kick him in the gonads.

and you thought Family Guy was a joke, another case of life imitating i guess.

and just who let El Reg into MoonDog, hmmm?

you know - i asked around on the BBB forums, got told to post on freeBSD forums, thank fuck this roundabout ride's over.

actually...

...the time zone change is not being "created" without cause and legitimate at least in my book - they were bought forward 30 mins to align to JPN time during the war. Going back 30 mins prior to the Nippon occupation makes sense.

12 months?

more like 12 years, geejus...

...meanwhile Occy stockys hit rock botty.

or some such.

Hooligans!

I'd hate to be dustbin in Shaftsbury tonight...

No one, knows what it's like to be a dusssttttbin, in Shaftsbury with hooooliigans.

Bill's time in Blighty infused a lot of his shows with the cultural differences vis-a-vis America, obviously where he grew up/lived.

When he presented those shows on the road - it is hands down the best laff out loud stuff, it's not hate filled, not anger driven.

I've got tears now just recalling his hooligans skit, that's when his comedy was at the best and it's at it's best because it translates brilliantly just well as it did back then, mostly because he thought he had the UK/US relationship boiled down to hooligans and US street gang dichotomy.

if you're on netflix, you're ganna have a bad time.

no 1080 for you!

hmm?

"If our intelligence community cannot connect the dots of the information within the current legal framework, our intelligence is utter crap clearly deficient."

there...

FTFY.

god bless

somewhere the ABC Warriors, Chopper, Mean Machine et al. are all having a good ole chuckle, somewhere. warms the cockles this does. Also, yes, Dredd. Yes, you are.

Title should read

Man sees own arse, fears arse future for Oz .

too soon?

those were the days

i remember my introduction to MK on a sega mega drive - from memory the defaults were on (down up left left A right down for the cheat menu) and there was no blood, i did however manage to get Liu Kang to do something strange.

While the opponent was wobbling around and I mashing aimlessly he did a strange move and finished the opponent off. Those big red words appears on the screen, i had no idea what had occured at the time.

Ah memories, golden.

I must admit i'll be an MK fan till i leave the earth, i was not a fan of the 3d ventures in an attempt to emulate Tekken, which i consider to be a superior beat em up to MK.

however the niche it fills, it's almost impossible to express. which is why - as the author points out - i too am a little excited about the up coming release also, MKX.

damn, Clippy's been busy.

making lots of little Clippys.

"It looks like you're trying to write a letter... never forget, MS we wont.

Meanwhile...

... 45 mins out of the Melbourne CBD where they cannot even get adsl. Cannot get adsl. Malcolm for shame, foisting this MTM snake oil when you cannot even get last century's technology implemented to everyone. smh

Silver lining.

... due to their insanely piss weak internet infrastructure, the rate of infection is relatively low compared to other more advanced nations.

Yay - tick one up for team Abbott!

Forks ningered

anyone else read it as that?

i would have thought the notoriety around this one would only boost revenue, go Sony.

have an upvote as the voice of reason.

I, have resigned myself to the fact that i will need to contract someone to fiber to my premise (whenever i own a house, at the current rate never,) and will recoup it in house value when re-sold, i hope...
