California Tries to Ban More Guns
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 21/Aug/2012 08:24
From NRA-ILA:
Senate Bill 249, as amended, would make a small but profound change to the definition in state law of what constitutes a detachable magazine for a semi-automatic firearm. By doing so, as many as one million semi-automatic rifles (with a “bullet button†or other magazine locking device), which were legally sold in California over the last twelve years, would become illegal on July 1, 2013. If you’re one of the hundreds-of-thousands of Californians who purchased one of these modern sporting rifles (a centerfire semi-automatic rifle with a magazine locking device that prevents detachment of the magazine without a bullet or tool) since 2000, your firearm will have to be surrendered or may be confiscated.

The iPhone Has Passed a Key Security Threshold
From: Technology Review
At the heart of Apple’s security architecture is the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm (AES), a data-scrambling system published in 1998 and adopted as a U.S. government standard in 2001. After more than a decade of exhaustive analysis, AES is widely regarded as unbreakable. The algorithm is so strong that no computer imaginable for the foreseeable future—even a quantum computer—would be able to crack a truly random 256-bit AES key. The National Security Agency has approved AES-256 for storing top-secret data.

Uncle Ted Comments on Bill O’Reilly’s Misinformation
Bill O’Reilly made some egregious errors last week when discussing what type of weapons one can buy. He used AK-47, machine gun and “heavy weapon” (whatever that is) all interchangeably, confusing the issue.
