    So, it alright if the people put an key-logger on your computer. Well, I stand by my opinion putting an key-logger on an college computer in order to collect passwords of fellow students must be punished! Tim S PS: The college I currently go to gives the Tech students machines where they have local admin rights; this is order to learn things. This DOES NOT grant the students the right to be an key-logger on these machine. ANY IDIOT like you should understand this.

    If you have physical access any moderately competent computer person can install a key logger. So, in my opinion you are saying libraries and schools can not provide computers for patrons and students to use. I call this massive case of elitism; not everybody in the USA has their own laptop or computer. Tim S

  6. Re:Wake up please. on University Brings Charges Against White Hat Hacker · · Score: 1

    I agree what you did was white-hat what he did was mild black-hat; he needs punished. Installing an key-logger and removing it; and then reporting that key-loggers can be installed I would put as an white-hat. Leaving it installed and collecting user passwords is black-hat. My School gives the students limited Admin rights to PCs because it is needed to learn certain things; if one of the students used that right to install an key-logger and collect passwords, I would want them to serve jail time. CS and Engineering school computers; not the whole college are setup for student to have limited admin access. This allows students to install needed open source software and demo/free software.

    The reactor is not the thing the USA is trying to stop in Iran or North Korea. It is the reactor fuel processing and re-processing. This is because reactor fuel processing can be used for both peaceful nuclear power and non-peaceful nuclear bombs. Tim S

    Yeah, just like using the temperature of the stove burner is an bad way to predict when the kettle should be steaming. Tim S PS: Sun spots/Non Sun spots is one indicator of solar energy output change. We really need better and more instruments to measure solar energy variations and the Energy reflected from the planet (see global dimming) and the energy that makes to the planet surface. If we had those measurements then we could really start work on a good model. But we very little hard data the models are all just guess work and most of them are likely just garbage in /garbage out.

    You are so right; my last manager/project leader once said he learned how to code in Java in a week long course. Note, by his standards he might be right. If being able to do an hello world; is all that is needed. But, he was not able to do programing specs that were usable by the coders. How many CS managers how are rotten are there?
