World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit
Captain Kirk writes "We all know that World of Warcraft has checked for hacks to ensure a safe game environment for all players. The latest version of these checks goes beyond anything seen so far in that what is being checked is now completely encrypted. Obviously this hits bot writers as can be seen from these complaints, But it also strikes at the privacy of all users. Now Blizzard has a tool that is encrypted and can run any type of scan, transfer any file or edit any document on your computer. That can't be right."
As an added bonus in that setup you only need one Windows machine.
Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat.

Also if you haven't done anything wrong, you should not mind the police searching your house, the store searhing your jacket, or me following you around all day taking notes.

I find humour in the outrage of "educated" people who make mention of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib as though it is something new and unique. Certain strategic knowledge has (and always will have) more value then a few or dozen or hundred lives. Is the torture of an "enemy of the state" wrong if it preserves life? We have been torturing them for as long as we have been a country. So has France. And England. And Russian. And China. And Japan. And Iraq. And *.
There is nothing this administration is doing that the last one, or the one before that, or the one before that or the one before that ortheonebeforethat ortheonebeforethatortheonebeforethat did NOT do.
Deal with it. Move on.
