Heh. This is mildly amusing. I'm trying to get the PS3 Remote Play feature set up on my laptop. I downloaded the software from Sony, and a set of hacked DLLs that are needed to make the software work on non-Vaio systems. The hacked DLLs come up clean on VirusTotal, but at least one scanner turned up a "Suspicious File" finding on Sony's software.

Saw this in The Bridge. Love it.
In other news, I'm mildly disappointed that Remote Play doesn't allow me to use my PC as a remote control for the PS3 - it's essentially just RDP for PS3. Here's a strange option, I found though: You can choose to have the Remote Play audio output to either the PS3 or your Remote Play device. If I'm close enough that I'd want to output the audio to the PS3, why would I even be using Remote Play?

@IsziRoryorIsznti I would expect all Sony software to be considered suspicious.

Q: Alternative to "web of trust"

Bear McDougalLet's say I have an SMIME platform where I want to easily establish trust across the entire world for a particular purpose, for example for sharing valid financial information. I think that a distributed trust environment is best because I don't want to dictate communities's certificate policies ...

public-key signature
This looks not so much crypto-related ... do you think it would be good here?
If so, simply flag for moderator attention, as I have to start to work now (i.e. closing the "free time" browser).

Okay... What the frell is Security Shield, and is this really an IT Security question - or an SE question, for that matter - at all?

Q: Disallow Internet browsing by security shield>

Mady BosworthI have this problem that needs immediate fix. My security shield is disallowing me to browse the internet. I really need the internet for a research project. Need answers as soon as possible. Any possible solution is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, too open a question to be reasonably answered, me thinks. I'm guessing it's probably some kind of host firewall thingy for people who haven't figured out that every major OS has it's own.

It'd be nice if we could quickly look up a user's last chat posting. Y'know, for those times when people can't be bothered to use "reply" to reference an old post in the chat log.

@ScottPack Probably a cross between dev and security. The interviews have been dev questions so far.

Oh, dear. I'm interested in joining a Cribbage Club in my area, but I'm not sure I could go with the one closest to me as I'd like. They have deliberately mis-spelled "Cribbage Club" in such a way that the club name can be abbreviated as "KKK".
I'm not sure I could keep a straight face there either, since their PoC's surname is "Wanke".

That all sounds pretty reasonable for Florida.

@ScottPack Apparently, so does meeting up during lunch-time in the middle of the business week. Is it 'cause there's so many retirees in Florida, or 'cause only old folks play cribbage? Either way, it gives me an actually good excuse not to go with that club.

I do laugh every time I see the shuffleboard court at my parent's community center.

The next nearest club to me does meet at a good time, but they're seasonal and I'm most likely to forget about them before their season starts up again.
...and holy crap - that's stretching the definition of "near" just a little bit.
I guess the area I'm in is just a bit too new to have many people who fall into the usual demographic of cribbage players, or something.
Wow. Applying for membership to the American Cribbage Congress must be done via USPS, according to their website (cribbage.org)!
Or, perhaps they mean "mail" to possibly refer to e-mail or snail-mail.

In other news. I just learned that I can pass Getopt::Long a hash to store all the arguments in. That's way cooler than a big list of variables. Should also simplify the subroutines.
@IsziRoryorIsznti The application lists a mailing address.
They also want checks.

@ScottPack They want a what?

It's a piece of paper, you write numbers and words on it. Provides an authorization for a financial institution to pay them on your behalf.
Membership is $15/year.

@ScottPack What? Who the heck would take that? How do you even know the person who wrote on the paper has the money? Where would you go to collect?

Q: Browsing in a hostile environment

BenoîtI'm working within the client's network and they've recently become crazy stupid. They have activated HTTPs authority spoofing on their proxy in order to decipher all the outgoing encrypted traffic by using a man-in-the-middle scheme. That is to say, when connecting to an HTTPs site, my browser g...
