Wi-Fi Exploits Coming to Metasploit

bucksDrop writes "Eweek.com is reporting that the Metasploit Project will add 802.11 (Wi-Fi) exploits to a new version of its point-and-click attack tool. Metasploit 3 will integrate kernel-mode payloads to allow users to use existing user-mode payloads for both kernel and non-kernel exploits. Metasploit is collaborating with Jon 'Johnny Cache' Ellch and implementing it by wrapping the LORCON library."

You must be a perscriber

Modern usage

More recently, "begs the question" has been used as a synonym for "invites the question" or "raises the question", or to indicate that "the question really ought to be addressed". In this usage, "the question" is stated in the next phrase. For example: "This year's budget deficit is half a trillion dollars. This begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?" This usage is often sharply criticized by proponents of the traditional meaning, but it has nonetheless come into common use as a result of its use in the media, especially by people ignorant of its original use. Argument over whether this usage should be considered incorrect is an example of the debate between linguistic prescription and description.

Personally I fall srongly on the description side. Perscrition is useful when you are a studentand learning language, but language is a construct for humans to communicate, and as such, description should be the primary motivation for a linguist. Language is how the majority use it, not how scholars define it.
