[disclaimer, I work in cyber security]
Look at Matasano.com, John Bambanek, or Kevin Mitnick, they are all famous security researchers or companies. And all of them have been very publicly hacked in the past. None of them even speak about being publicly defaced and hacked, but all you have to do is read ZF0 and boom, evidence. Matasano's website still isn't even back up, and they charge inordinate amounts to profess to be security experts. I'm sure the big bucks are still rolling in for all of them, even though they can't even keep their own houses in order.
Security reputation should matter, the same way reputation should matter. If you can't trust someones word, what can you trust from them? I'm speaking exclusively about the security industry in my comments. I personally still shop (using plastic) at TJX because their prices are very low. I wouldn't go to them for a PCI audit though, that's for sure.
I think this is a great idea, but from the brief glance at the site that I took, it would appear that is has absolutely no search feature at all. LexusNexxus and the other sites have sophisticated search features. 1.8 million records stored in 1000 pdfs is more or less worthless IMO.
Well, you bet wrong. Newark is doing much better these days that it has historically, although it is still the car theft capital of the world. However, it is not rural, it is extremely diverse, and is a short train ride to NYC. It is also home to one of the finest institutions in the world (Rutgers).
No, they are doing it for your benefit. Presumably this software will detect that you have a keylogger or such that will steal your WoW credentials, and this will remove it. That is a benefit for you as well as Blizzard.
There is nothing evenly vaguely rootkit-ish about this. Blizzard is scanning your PC for your benefit. What makes people think this is a rootkit, because its polymorphic encrypted code? This isn't a bit of code that is hiding from the OS, nor does it have control over the OS, or the ability to spawn processes in a rootkit'd environment.
It is not a rootkit.
That article was so light on information, it was worthless. And for anyone that did actually RTFA (like me) the last line was SERIOUSLY ABOUT THE COLOR SCHEME OF THE TANK! Wtf!
Meh. Cheese curds are practically cheese, and the hot gravy makes them melt, and basically creates the tempering that would make them cheese. The difference between curds and cheese is a dip in hot water.
Theo thinks so highly of himself, he is just wrong on this one.
There is not one recorded/public example of someone breaking out of the isolation of a virtual environment!
I dare someone to demonstrate otherwise, and I will eat my words.
Umm, Oracle Standard is a lot different than Oracle Enterprise, something you may or may not realize. I was comparing the associated points for Enterprise Level.
Maybe I'm missing your point, but $200 is a pittance. The last I checked, which was yesterday, Oracle came with a price of $40,000 just to enter the game!
It's hard to blame developers for this. Every p2p programs has the ability to change the folder you share. And frankly, the legally legitimate ones, like torrent, don't share a big folder. Rather, they individually track single files that must be selected purposefully.
I have developed with guys like Tom Friedman from The Times who wrote The World is Flat and my ability to collaborate with him on the book, you know, it became a popular best seller and helps people understand what this flattening world is like. I got to help him write it, so I didn't have to read it when it was done!
Somehow I don't think this dweeb really did any writing. What a shithead.
You don't integrate someone else code, because it is your code to begin with. RTFA - the person who posted to the linux mailing list is the person who wrote the original code! He can do whatever he wants with his code.
I think that pragmatically speaking it is acceptable for your product to phone home with only information that is relevant to your product (the license key and installation ID). You can then compare that to your database, and include a mode to lock functionality if a certain signal is received on the client. I see this is acceptable means of protecting your investment and hard work. I also think you should be up front with this in your license.
I have 2 thoughts on this.
1) Waitressing and not waitering leads me to believe you are a woman. I guess I'm just surprised to find an actual women on slashdot. I mean this to be sort of funny and ironic, not sexist or trollish. Sorry if I offend you (or anyone).
2) My previous experience working with Penguins (what cooks call waiters and waitresses) is that they lie, and do anything they can to cover their own asses and maximize tips, no matter how bad it makes the cooks and the restaurant look. So, if you really do go into waitressing, please, do me a favor, and be nice to the cooks.

This update was released via RHN more than two weeks ago.

This is all just CGI. I didn't see anything in that badly edited cutscene that even remotely looked like in game footage. Plus, Duke looked stupid.
how sweet would that be? Or a Futurama MMORPG!
I believe they mean there are not running an embedded firewall product, like CheckPoint.
I'm assuming that was meant as a joke, but that comment was racist when Imus made it, and it rings sort-of racist to me now.

Um, not quite. You missed something too:
the proper setup looks like this
{internet}

firewall

app-servers

db-servers

1. I use gMaps for directions all the time, especially when lost, on my Treo650.
2. Black Black gum is seriously caffeinated!
3. ?????
4. Profit.
Negative - Poutine is just the Canadian name for what everyone in Jersey has known as Disco Fries for decades.

Pong was the bottom. It's been a race to the top! Seriously, Half Life 2 is so far superior to Pong - this guy is wrong.
