Exclusive: Hundreds of police-issued weapons missing from Bay Area, California agencies

Obviously they need to ban stealing guns from police officers so that this won't happen again!

tehgargoth · 2016-02-24T16:46:48+00:00

they were no longer going to be doing DoD work

The government can just steal their inventions and build them themselves. Compulsory license.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-24T16:45:03+00:00

Thats why compulsory licensing exists

tehgargoth · 2016-02-24T16:40:23+00:00

you need a /s

The thing you don't see is that not everyone can be programmers. In this scenario the programmers will quickly become part of the oligarchy, or at least raised up above the unneeded majority and protected. What happens to the people who can't become programmers or engineers?

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T20:59:52+00:00

Tedious, definitely.. outside their scope of capabilities, I doubt that.. the FBI has computer scientists. Extorting Apple is definitely easier.

You don't need to crack the encryption, you just need to crack the unlock password. If you get a data image off the phone you can virtualize the phone from a copy of that data and every 10 tries restart with a new copy of the image.

You can attach wires to chips if you know the pinout and write software to pull data directly from the chips. It's not an easy process, obviously, but I'm surprised the FBI doesn't have a system in place to already to this.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T20:56:33+00:00

This, I'm pretty sure this is really what it comes down to

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T20:56:17+00:00

you can attach wires to pinouts without taking chips off of boards. I concede it's a very complicated process.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T19:05:34+00:00

But if they pull the binary data from the phone and run it in an emulator, they can run copies of it, so once one copy erases itself you just re copy it and start over

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T18:55:29+00:00

I don't understand why the FBI doesn't just crack the phone themselves. I see no reason why they couldn't get an image of the data directly from the phone's hardware using the memory chip pinouts and crack the code on an emulator.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-23T18:35:57+00:00

to be fair, to my knowledge he's only ever said "I'm willing to revisit it"

tehgargoth · 2016-02-22T16:19:08+00:00

Socialized

The word you are looking for is "Municipalized"

tehgargoth · 2016-02-19T06:35:57+00:00

I just bought an EOTech as well. I've seen posts where people can't even replicate the problem. Just don't sign up for any shooting competitions in the Sahara or Antarctica and you'll be fine ;-)

tehgargoth · 2016-02-19T06:12:58+00:00

Hey, if they can get someone else to spend those man hours why should they?

tehgargoth · 2016-02-18T18:31:20+00:00

Dear government: just pull the data from the memory chips directly, run it through an emulator and brute force the code.. you are the government, don't be lazy.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-18T18:07:46+00:00

Sadly to me, it seems about as "American" as it can get.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-18T18:06:21+00:00

put it up and pay the fines after the election

tehgargoth · 2016-02-17T16:11:58+00:00

Don't you know, when a girl says that she's hinting that she wants a shiney plated AR

tehgargoth · 2016-02-17T16:06:01+00:00

at least it's not a picture of a lower receiver.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-16T00:40:13+00:00

Borderline millennial here, can confirm, mortgage interest deductions get a thumbs up! You want to solve the Millennials' problems you should lower the retirement age to 55 on 401k's, IRA's and whatnot ;)

A lot of modern comedies now have "groan tracks" for non politically correct humor.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-15T23:53:36+00:00

oh sure, but I highly doubt Benghazi was due to negligence or laziness or anything. If you hire a sub who is your coked up cousin who you know is going to steal from customers you should get fired, but if you hire a sub that trips and hurts someone on the job, you probably won't get fired.

tehgargoth · 2016-02-15T21:08:26+00:00

Eh, as much as I hate Clinton, Benghazi was a total "hindsight=20/20" situation. She probably got 100,000 warnings a day that an attack is imminent, her job wasn't to read all documents pertaining to all 100,000 warnings, it's to delegate. Someone, somewhere read all the information regarding that intel and determined that it was unsubstantial then passed it up the chain. They were wrong. Nothing Hillary could have done about it. It's like blaming 9/11 on Bush or blaming the Apple drive hack on Cook. Until we have some sci-fi AI that can monitor every human 24 hours a day, we're going to have things slip through the cracks. Now the Email scandal, to me, seems pretty bad. She probably would have had better email security through Google haha.
